in favor of Gladstono and the Liberals

successful candidates the following; the

Mr. Pope's defeat and Mr. MeMillan’s
success at St. Uleunor's on last ‘Thursday,
mark an important event in the political
|history of Prince Edward Island. Pre-
yious to the opening of the Legislature

‘of Charlottetown addressed a memorial
to the Government, in which he asked
jthat a Legislative grant might be given
‘to him for St. Dunstan’s College and
/ other institutions of learning established
iby him, and which are under his control.
The receipt of this memorial was acknow-
ledged, but compliance with its prayer
|was respectfully declined. In the House

efully concealed his own sentiments
from the public, until last Thursday,
when he recorded his vote at St.Mleanor’s
in favor of Mr. Pope. Most truly, there-
tore,does the /’atriol say, ** that while as a
private man he had a perfect right to ex-
ercise his own free will in the course he
pursued, yet as the exponent of the views
of the Conservative party, his action at
Summerside has, to a certain extent,
compromised the party which has chosen
him for its leader.’

Judging from the result of the election
in this «istrict last week, we think it

lic laity are in favor of denominational
grants. Many of them, especially those
trom the Old Country, appear to have an
intuitive, if not an experimental sense, of
the many evil results emanating from the
adoption of the principle it involves, in
the land of their fathers ; and tothe honor
of the great majority of Scotch and Irish
Catholics of Lot 17, in common with
several of their Acadian co-religionists,
[they on last ‘Thursdey emphatically de-
clared that they have no wish to lend

The election passed off very quietly ;
indeed more so than any we ever had
here. Of course there was a good deal
of rejoicing over the suecessful candidate,
but nothing that was calculated to giv
offence to the defeated party. After the
Sheriff had declared the state of the poll,
just before he closed it, Mr.MeMillan was
318, and Mr. Pope 223, leaving a ma-
jority for the former of 95 votes. Both
candidates returned thanks to the Llec-
tors—Mr. MeMillan for their success and
the handsome manner in which they
elected him, and Mr, Pope also to those
who so carnestly supported him. In
the course of his remarks he said he was

in doubt being whether the Bank would re-
deem at its own counter only or in St. John
aswell, The action ot the Bank in suspend-
ing forafew days is said to have been pre-
cipitated if not caused by the f.ct that parties
from St. Stephen purchased the Bank's notes
in St. Jolin ata discount and were sending
them to the Bank tor gold by Thursday

fromthe St. Jolin merchants. ‘Tie Bunk,
