GOV BRNMENT. ae OTe Manon 62> | Mr? Monrcomkry said that he rose to; address the Honse under great difficulties, nearly every member in the House having } spoken; so that the whole subject was gone over and very little left-to be said on if. ‘There were, however, certain points to which hon. gentlemen did not refer, and he would.briefly discuss some of those.
TWO YEARS AGO
a general election was held, and at that time party lines were, to a certain extent, obliterated--it having been found that the great question then agitating the public mind ceuld not be settled unless party dif- ferences should be forgotten, for a time at least. Men who all their lifetime had been Conservatives found it necessary to unite with their Liberal friends, in order to settle the School Question ; but, after two years— haying finished the work which they were sent to perform--the Conservatives thought fit to withdraw from the Govern- ment. He (Mr. Montgomery) had never witnessed such a display of
PETTY REVENGE
as members of the Government had shawn towards those four hen. members, He would not object to hon. members using any amount of argument, but the venom displayed was altogether uncalled for, and did not add to the dignity of the House. The Hon. Commissioner of Public Works
made the remark that great measures had generally been carried by . men who had sunk party differences.
That remark is true; but it 1s also truo that Coalition Governments never existed for any great length of time. The only one which remained in existence as long as our present Government did, was the one which had been formed by Earl Aberdeen, if he (Mr. M.) remembered. A Coalition Gor- ernment never existed for any length of time, except when some great ptional question was befere the, country which could not be carried without entirely ob- literating Party lines. In 1867 when the
GREAT NATIONAL QUESTION
of Confederation of. those Provinces was discussed, it was considered that the coall- tion of Liberals and Conservatives, formed to carry it, would continue to exist. The Leader of the Government could not have desired that the coalition of Liberals and Conservatives— such as the present Gov- ernment had been—should continue for any great length of time; and if so, since the
business for which they were called to-
gether was accomplished, was’ it not the proper time for the separation to take place. As soon as those men withdrew from the Government, an attempt was made to get the hon. member from ‘Tignish to take one of the vacant seats, and other gentlemen on the Opposition side of the House were asked te suppori them. Now, if it wasa erime for the feur hon. members to’ leave the Government and join the Opposition, surely if was as
GREAT A CRIME
to «et lion! members of the Opposition to take sdats in the Government. The hen. Leader “of the Government looked ‘upon himself as politically ruined, and blamed the four hon. gentlemen who left the Goy- ernment for rnining him ; but if those four hon. members were the means of elevating him to the position of Leader, as they un- doubtedly were, if was very ungrateful of him to abtise them because they did not keep him in that position as long as he de- sired. ‘These four gentlemen Were the means of politically making the hon, mem- ber (Hon. Mr. Davies) and when they with- drew from him he had to go down. Char- lottetown had always been a Conservative constituency, and it was only by uniting with a Conservative that the Leader of the Government could be returned by the city. It was by the SUFFERANCE OF THE CONSERVATIV BS
that the Leader of the Government: oceu- pied the position J e did, and it ill became him ty turn round on the men who elevated him. The Government at the’ present time was of a very different complexion frem what it was before those four hon. members left it. The hon. member from Murray Harbor (Mr. Prowse) was asked to support the hon. member from Montague (Dr. Robertson), who, for the last two years, gave the Government a very indiffer- ent support. The hon. member from Mon- tague had once before been a mem-
ber of a Government, and his connec- tion _ with Governments seemed to be very unfortunate—he was never
called to take a seat until t'te Government was struggling for existenee. He appeared to be called in as’ medical adviser to ex- amine into the state of

against them that the poople were preventt- ed from asking him to resign.
Hon. Dr. Robertson said the statement was false.
Mr. Montgomery would not make any statement which was false. He dfd not de- sire to misrepresent any hon member. He would give the Leader of the Government credit for great ability, bat ha had one fanlt tu find with him, and that was that whenever a statement whieh he had for- erly made was brought to lis notice, if it suited his purpose, he would deny having made such a statement, or twist it in suche manner as to destroy its moaning. It was possible. the hon. gentleman might forget what he had previously siated, but his (Mr, Montgomery’s opinion. was, tint the reason he so acted was because
WHAT HE SAID IN ONE LOCALITY
would. not suit in another. When the hon. member from Montague was called in as medical adviser of the Government, he found. the patient in a very low condi+ tion, and. recommended that much food should not be given; so the Government, acting on that advice, admitted. the hor. member from West River. After, a time the medical adviser reported that the Gov- ernment were semewhat convalescent, and, could take more subsiautial food, so the hon. member from Summerside was ad- mitted. . There. were two of those’ hon. members who were very
UNCERTAIN SUPPORTERS
of the Party, and it was only by giving them seats in the Executive that they were, secured—the member from West River and the member from Montague. The hon.’ member from Strathalbyn made a very good speech ; he attacked no person except the editor of the Presbyterian, As the editor of that paper wielded a large scimitar, or some other weapon, there was no need to defend him. When the hon. member had entered into a contest with the editor of the Presbyterian in the public press, there was no need’ to attack him in this House. That hon. member stated that they hada NEW GOVERNMENT,
a new policy, and new men, and whenever they adopted a new policy and formed a new Government, those four Conservative
proposed by the would never support men who adopted a policy merely because it was popular. Mention had heen made of the Civil Ser- vice Bill and the part taken by the Leader of the Opposition in introducing it. At the time that Bill was passed, the hon.
of Public Works) spoke of it as follows :— ‘‘ In their dying moments, the Government had caught at the ideas advanced all along by ihe :Upposition, because they felt that the position taken by their opponents was the correct: one, and had: introduced this measure in order that they might have some show in going to the polls.” The hon.
that time to give the hon. member from St. Peter's credit for passing that Bill, but he supported the Bill and wanted to get credit for it himself. ‘The Government after having been in

They never would have brought down those. measures except for the sake of holding en tu power. !f the Governnient had been in a position to carry on the business of the country in the way they had been doing, they would never have adopted a different policy. The Leader of the Government spoke of the Opposition—if they came into power— making
‘' DUCKS AND DRAKES ”
of the public accounts, which implied that a Government could manipulate the public accounts in any shape they thought proper ; and, if that was the case, what confidence could be placed in the accounts as brought down by the Leader of the Government? He(Mr. Montgomery) and his colleague were the only Opposition members in the House who represented a district that had, a short time ago, been represented by sup- porters of the present Government. There was not an elector in the district who did not know that he was determined to oppose the present Government, and it was ridict- lous for hon. members to imagine that that district would now send men to support the present Administration When the elec- tion was held there,
NO FALSE ISSUE
was raised, except it was raised by members ot the Government. The present Govern- ment had been two years in power, and when they found their lease of power drawing toa close, they adopted a policy entirely difierent from what they had been carrying on. The people would not judge them by the speech they had put in the hands of the Lieutenant Governor, but_y their record for the last two years. Tt was very casy to make promises
The hon. doctor stated that. Murray Har- _when they were going out of power; but]
bor would return two members to support the present Government,—an . ex-; travagant statements which very much surprised him (Mr. Mont- gomery.) The learned doctor knew that
he had to come dewn on the acts of the Government, and it was by attacking the
Government and appearing to be indignant
if they were in power, it was very doubtful if they would carry out those reforms. Tle
