THE CAMPAIGN. Governor Tilley in the Field.

His VIEWS ENDORSED

WILL

From the St. John Tele graph,

About eighty gentlemen, representing various classes and interests, met last even- ing in a hall in Nickerson’s building, Prince Wim. Street, for the purpose of presenting a requisition to the Hon. L. 8. Tilley, ask- ing him to become a candidate for the re- presentation of the city of St. John at the forthcoming elections for the Dominion Parliament. At 8.15, Governor Tilley, at- tended by several friends, entered the room, and was heartily cheered. Aftera few minutes had been spent by him in shaking hands with his acquaintances,a motion that ©. H. Fairwhether, Esq., take the chair was put and carried, and that gentleman took the chair accordingly. The requisi- tion having been placed in his hands, Mr. Fairweather rising and addressing Governor Tilley said that he had an agreeable duty to perform, of presenting him with a requisi- tion from his former constituents in the City of St. John, asking him again to be their representative. This requisition con- tained upwards of one thousand names, the procuring of which had been a most light and agreeable duty, and there were many, who did not feel themselves free to sign it, who had expressed the warmest sympathy with its object and the greatest desire to aid in the election of the Hon. Mr. Tilley.

Governor Tilley, in reply said, that he had been waited on by a deputation of gentlemen, last evening, on his arrival in the city, who asked him if he would be willing toreceive the requisition. He had expressed his acquiescence, and had taken the opportunity of reading over the names it contained during the day. He found there the names of some who supported him when he first entered public life,twenty- eight years ago, the names of some who until now had not been his supporters and the names of the sons of many of his old friends now dead. Six months ago he had said that he intended tohold himself free asa public man to serve this constituency or some other constituency in Parliament. He felt that it would not be cight for him te withdraw himself entirely from public life, if his fellow-citizens demanded his services. The citizens of St. John had first elected him to represent them in 1850, and with the exception of two years, they had con-

tinued to favor him with pb Gitenntidence und-emmpag yehorytar i9, When” hesemnn tevameere Through them he had before Confederation held the highest posi- tion in the Government of his native Pro- vince for a series of years; he had held the highest office but one in the Dominion Goy- ernment, and he had held the highest office to which a New Brunswicker could aspire here in the Governorship of this Province. After that his ambition might well be satis- fied, and it was satisfied. He would have been content to retire to some humble abode and spend the remainder of his days quietly. But he felt that he had duties to fulfil to the citizens of St. John, who had so favored him, and when they demanded his services he could not refuse them. He, therefore, accepted the requisition so hand- somely tendered to him, and would comply with the request which it contained. He would place his resignation in the hands of the Dominion Government at an early day, and, when it was accepted and his hands were free, he would call a meeting of the citizens of St. John and explain fully to them his political views. He believed that these views would be endorsed by the ma- jority of the people of St. John. Governor Tilley was frequently and heartily applauded in the course of his speech, especially when he announced his determination to comply with the requisition. After a few remarks from the Chairman, Governor Tilley re- tired, and the meeting separated.

Principle vs. Practice.

A contemporary very truly remarks that as a rule prominent Grits have a strong dis- position to talk of ‘‘our principles.” In this respect, it says, all the others must give way to Mr. Blake. He is particularly strong on ‘‘principles,” and, we have to add, par- ticularly weak in carrying them out. As a principle, he contended that it would be de- structive of our constitutional system to add a sixth Minister to the Ontario Government, and he became the sixth Minister himself. For the same reason he objected to thirteen Ministers composing the Dominion Govern- ment—the number being far too large—and he became a fourteenth Minister in that Cabinet. On principle he desires to allay class prejudices and sectarian animosities in Canada; and he ran the local election of 1871 on the Scott murdercry. On principle he objected to Mr. Santield McDonald’s resolution granting aid to railways; and he increased the grant himself when he came into power by means as fraudulent as were ever practised. On principle he objects to Coalitions; and he bought up R. W. Scott and made hiim his colleague in the Govern- ment of Ontario. Still further carrying out this principle he sat side by side in the same Cabinet with Cauchon, A. J. Smith, Wm. Ross, Coffin, Burpee, et al. He strongly supported the principle of Parliamentary responsibility over all expenditure ef public money; and he aided to commit Parliament, without its knowledge or sanction, to the expenditure of $2,500,000 for steel rails. He enunciated great ‘‘principles” in his Aurora speech; but though he was in the

Government three years subsequent to the

hima of that ‘‘ill at ease” oration, he did not venture to bring a single one of thei into the sunlight of the House of Commons.

Tur(n)cotte Goes Home and is Hissed. A correspondent from Three Rivers

writes to Quebec the following account of the arrival and reception of Hon. A. Tur- cotte, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. : Directly it was known here that Mr. Tur- cotte had taken his passage on board the *‘Quebec,” the Liberals took the greatest pains to declare that he had no intention of landing at Three Rivers, but that. he was going on to Montreal, where he had been summoned on pressing business matters.

Nevertheless it was well known for the last two days that Rouge caballists had. been engaging a number of powerful men to form a body-guard for Mr. Turcotte from the time he jumped on the quay, money and liquor been freely dispensed to give enthu- siasin to those recruits. The Conservatives had also taken care to warn their friends on no account to furnish the slightest pre- text for any disturbance or manifestations against a man who deserves contempt rather thay anger. The boat did not arrive till 11 o'clock, and at that time, outside the hired bullies and Government employees, there were not a corporal’s guard present. Mr. Turcotte remained carefully in the boat till Madame Turcotte went on_ board, when he issued forth, with his wife on his arm and his b ody-guard around him, he was received with cheers and _ hisses, the latter by far predominating, and without any stoppage he went up to the Boulevard to the LLouse of Mrs. Mather, followed by less than fifty people. Others followed and stood around till there was a crowd of about 200 present. Mr. Turcotte tried to speak, but evidently felt ill at ease, his pallor being particularly noticeable, and and he appeared to be quite disconcerted when several voices in the crowd called out ‘* cache toi vendu,” one of his friends, whose name is not known, immediately tried to reassure him by striking him familiarly on the shoulders, saying: ‘‘ Never mind, Mr.

Turcotte, those fellows would have sold themselves if they had the same. chance.” Mr. Turcotte then went on speaking, styl- ing his opponents Programmists and petro- leurs. The crowd, who attempted no vio- lence, continuing to cry out ‘‘vendu,” **bar- liotte-” ‘* five thousand dollars” . and-other similar remarks. Mr. Turcotte. remained carefwly in his mother’s house till 1 p> m.

on Monday, when he went on ‘board ’the ~— St eee Montreal, being sent on Las jyenreey’.y.: mild hurrah, sent.at by a knot of Government employees, whe. +had assembled there for the purpose.

Our Washington Letter.

Wasurneron, D. C., June 28, 1878.

General Meyer has a bold scheme-:ripen- ing now, which he has not. yet suggested to Congress, but which he believes will over- come the difficulties he has hitherto had to contend with, namely, the absence of weath- er signal stations between Newfoundland and the Eastern Continent. He proposes to anchor six ships at distances of 250 miles each, and put them into telegraphic conmmu- nication with the Atlantic Cable. ~ This plan would not only serve his own. imme- diate purpose, but the ships could be made floating harbors of. refuge, so that a boat’s crew on the main channel of commerce could reach a home and shelter within a hundred miles or so, and the news of any disaster, gale or accident could be_ sent home in a few hours’ time. The project is a bold and practicable one and worthy of its originator, who is one of the rarest minds of which our country has to boast.

General Fremont at last emerges from the retirement into which pride and poverty has kept him. so long. The President has appointed him Governor of Arizona. ‘This seems appropriate —a fitting position for the path-finder.

The dilatory action of the House Com- mittees crowded hosts of work that should have occupied weeks of examination into the last week of the lately adjourned session of Congress; though probably man of the Bills that were passed with co seeming haste and indifferance had received far more attention than the countryat large is aware of. Looking over the whole ses- sion, just adjourned, there seems to have been very little accomplished. The Silver Bill is the only one of vast national impor- tance that has become law, and few other measures of interest to the whole country have been past. The remarkable feature of the session has been its utter lack of leader- ship—a more. notable lack than can be re- membered heretofore. It extends to’ both Houses and to both parties. Hood and Atkins, the first men on one side of. the House of Representatives, have repeatedly lost control, while the Hale and Gaytield leadership on the other side, is not of the keen and courageous sort like Blaime’s or Thad Steven’s. The Senate, being a smal- ler body, has not shown this want as con- spicuously as has the House, it has been apparent, nevertheless.

One of Mr. Edison’s chief characteristics is said to be a strong rehance upon himself, In other words he never gets discouraged. When it was suggested to him to trya diamond-pointed needle for the phonograph he said, :—‘‘l intend to; but I cannot get the lapidaries in New York to: make just what [ want. So 1am going to rig up the necessary mechinism and make a diamond- pointed needle myself.”
