Brennan, McCarthy, Buote et a

Many of my personal friends as well as many of our readers having heard the little controversy which has taken place in the ‘Daily Examiner’ with respect to the convener of this electo- ral district have requested me to give then the particulars. Not being readers of the Examiner or any other paper but l'ImparriAL, I feel it my duty to place before them the letters which bave appeared on the matter. I must at the same time, avail myself of this opportunity to sincerely thank these good people who have so nobly stood

by me since I was chosen the liberal-

conservative candidate in 1898. The many independent electors, Irish and French, who have shown their ster- ling qualities of friendship since, de- serve my most sincer: thanks. To those who made pretense of fidelity to the conservative cause and betrayed the party candidate by their neglect and mutinism JÏ have but this re. proach to make : The day may come when you will need every French vote

of this district,

In the Examiner of July the 29th there appearcd a letter signed Elector in which the following paragraph was inserted.

‘The Conservatives were fairiy well

organised and much eredit is due Mr. J. Albert Brennan, Convener for the District who, by his unti:ing energy since the conference in Charlottetown, bas brought the organization to a high state of efticiency in this Dis- trict.” 1 took exception at this paragraph and determined to place the matter before the publie in its true light. 1 there- fore wrote the following letter to the Examiner, which was publishe.l in the issue of August the 9th.

ELECTOR'S LETTER REPUDIATED

Sir,—] read with much astonish- ment Elector's letter in the Daily E- xaminer of the 29th July last. The Conservatives of Tignish are indi- gnant over the paragraph, «The Con- servatives were fully well organized and much credit is due Mr. J. A. Brennan, convener for the district,

who, by his untiting energy since the |

conference in Charlottetown, has brought the organization to «a high state of efficiency in this district.”

Now, I challenge Elector for one word of truth in that paragraph. If Elector wishes to enter into a discus- sion on the matter, over his sisna- ture, Ï am at his disposal. I can prove conclusively that the subject which Elector praises has been an injury to the Conserrative cause and is to-day Jooked upon as the bete noire of the party by the Conservatives who have at all times stood unfaltering in our political contests.

F. J. Buor£. Tignish, Aug. 4th, 99.

To this letter Mr Dugald McCarthy of Sea Cow Pond answered and had part of his name affixed to the follow-

ing : REPLY TO MR. BUOTE

Sir,—In your issue‘of the 9th inst., I notice a letter signed F. J. Buote, criticizing certain remarks made by sEleetor” in your colums a few days ago in conmeotion with the recent bye election here.

Mr Buote has evidently written his letter with the intention of creating dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Li- beral Conservative party in this dis- trict. At present we are rejoiced over defeating the Government candidate,

and it is surprising that he should at-:

tempt to diseredit the good work done in the late contest. It may or may not be good policy to have conveners and organizers in the different distric's and Mr Buote may be correct in say- ing that men ike Mr. J. A. Brennan, who do their best in such matters are only injuring the party. At the confe- rence held in Charlottetown last sum- mer Mr. Brennan was appointed con- vener for the First Distrioet of Prince County. In accordance with his ins- tructions he oaused meetings to be held in the different polling divisions with the view of strengthening the organization. Meetings were held at Alberton, Kildare, Tigrish, Nail Pond, and others places, which were well attende:! by the electors and arrange- ments made to have the Conservative vote polled on the day of election.

‘Those meetings, composed of honest and sincere men who desired by their votes to drive the present Govern- ment from power, were appreciated by all and assisted greatly in defeating Mr Gallant.

It is needless to say that Mr. Buote did not attend any of the meeting,

for the contest but now comes for- ward to attack the convener, who did

the best possible in carrying out the

instructions given him by the Secre- tary of the conference. The district wes well organized as admittel by our opponents in the press and other- wise sinee the election, and it ill be- comes Mr. Buote to attack the conve. ner at this time. The large vote polled by Mr. Pineau in excess of which Mr. Buote received last year. may be «a source of irritation to him, but his safest plain is to keep qniet unless he wishes to completely efface himself as a member of the Liberal Conservative party. Ï remain yours faithfully.

D. J. McCarruy 2nd Vice President

Polling District No. 1, F | Mrs. James Constable, Seaforth, Ont., writes :—‘ Ever since I can remember

Sea Cow Pond, lith August, 1899.

The foregoing appeared in the Exa- miner of the 15th August. Remarkable coincidence Mr MeCarthy who was

second lieutenant to the mutiny ex- | isting inthe conservative ranks in.

1898, comes forward to uphold the

captain of this treason. I therefore

wrote the following which appeared in the Examiner of the 19th August.

LETTER FROM MR. BUOTE.

Sir,—1 challenged Elector (who turns out to be Mr. D. J. McCarthy. second vice President of the first pol- ling division of the first electoral dis- trict of Prince) to show that the con- vener appointed at the conference in Charlottetown, last winter, had in aay

way, any more than by his own vote,

contributed to the success of Mr. Pi- neau’s election. Mr. McCarthy refrains from the point, but instead gives out {he names of several places where the convener held meetings to organize, but is very careful to say one word of the proceedings of those meetings. He further states that I did not attend any of those meetings. True, and hun- dreds of Conservatives likewise. Why? you will ask. Because the advocates of the Liberal Conservatives cause, in this district, are devided into two kinds. - One kind, to which I belong, wish to impress the importance of the principles at staxe with the determi- nation to carry the Censervative ad ministration back to power. The other kind, to which the convener and Mr. McCarthy belong, have for their plat- form the special eulogy of a few would be party bosses. Luckily for the Con- servative cause the latter class is small in number.

We look to the prinoiple above the man and no manisfit to be a leader when he is wanted to lead who is not fit to be a follower when some one else is wanted to lead.

in 1898 when 38 ont of 54 delegatcs did me the honor to place their confi- dence in me, to contest the distriot a- gainst Mr. Gallant, Mr McCarthy ‘“would mot vote” for the Conserva- tive candidate, bat remained at home. The convener voted, not however be- fore he had carried a series of resolu- tions to St. Mary's Hall, purporting to destroy what the Conserva- tives had completed at the convention. Can the Conservative party depend on such electors ? Not necessary to recall the strife which existed bet- ween the tried and true Conservatives of Tignish and some 13 (unlucky number) electors, who for personal reasons of their own would not vote for the Liberal-Conservative candi- date. Mr. McCarthy and I cannot a- gree on the point of offering flattery to the convener. I am willing to leave it to those ‘‘wiser than we are”—those wbo are wiser than we are may find others ‘‘still wiser” than they are and that process may go on until it finally results in finding one ‘‘wisest of all” and that is ‘public verdict."

No man should permit his political actions to be governed, his conscience to be controlled, or his vote to be dic- tated by the mind cf any other man or any one set of men. Mr. McCar- thy far from following that noble principle of independent manhood, allowed hims?lf to be one of the band of ‘‘Kickers” and materially helped to defeat the Conservative cause in 1898. And who was the first of that band ? Was it not the convener whom Mr. McCarthy and his letter writer around the corner are trying to place before the public as the cause of Mr. Pincau’s success ? What reasons had the con- vener for doing so? Here are the facts, which the minutes of the meeting and hundreds of electors present can tes- tify. Mr. McCarthy proposed that the conxener be a candidate for the con- test. His proposal was met with a flat rebuke. He tried it again this year. he got two votes, (try again.) The convener in consequence kicked, Mc- Carthy kicked, and eleven cthers kicked.

Now, Mr. McCarthy, you say (I should not say, ‘‘you say” for it is

In this book the Kindergarten offers to the Home suggestions for the occupation of little children with simple materials. The autbor does not presuppose a kindergarten training on the part!of the mother, nor an ideal environ- ment. She simply takes for granted the child’s ceaseless activity and the mother’s desire to furnish him with material and opportunity for uevelopment. »

The occupations here considered are of three kinds. The first are those which require the active par- ticipation of an older person; the , second, those for which only occa- sional direction or assistance is ne- cessary; the third, those in which tbe child can engage by himself.

I did all I could to help Mr Pineau, all that any other man could do, gave him my vote.

One more word and I am done. If you desire to cripple the Liberal-Con- servative party in this district ; to destroy the only plank of salvation for the heavily burdened tax payers of this Province, continue (with the man who wrote for you) to praise the convener to the detriment of others.

Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space, 1 remain yours yery truly.

F. J. Buore.

Tignish, Aug 16th, 1889.

Asit appeared in the Examiner many typographical errors had inad. vertently been overlooked.

Now we leave public opinion to judge of the actions of the convener and Mr. McCarthy. When we were battling for a rightful cause doing all we eould to defeat the liberal candi- date th2se two electors were on the contrary doing all they could to frus- trate our plans. They were joined by others, who, though seemingly anx- ious to keep up theconservative cause, would try by steaith, to defeat the conservative Frenchman.

Mr McCarthy says in his letter that perhaps I wish to efface myself from the conservative party. Let McCarthy

look into his own conscience, and let

others be. The conservative party is

good enough for me but some of the men who wish to be party bosses in this district, notably the convener and Mr MCCarthy, are no helpers to the | cause. Until they pull with |one mighty effort for the common

| cause regardless of personal. enmity,

| their star will shine but for one ano-

|ther, not for the public.
