AUGUST 27, 1878.

DR. TUPPER.

Tue people of Prince Edward Island will heartily welcome Dr. Tupper on ‘Tuesday evening next; and we feel confident that every man, who possibly can, will come to hear him speak in the Skating Rink. The St. John Telegraph says: ‘‘ Dr. Tupper is the greatest debater in the Dominion”; and there is no doubt, whatever, that he is. There is no man in Canada better versed in politics; there is no man in Canada readier or abler to impart his information; there is no man in Canada whose style of speaking is superior to that of Doctor Tupper. More- over, the Doctor is a great practical states- man. He has been a leader in nearly every inaugurated and

progressive movement carried forward since he entered politics. The Free Schools of Nova Scotia, the Rail- ways of Nova Scotia, Confederation, the National Policy are all inseparably con- nected with the name of Dr. Tupper.

The Hon. Joseph Howe, at one time his greatest opponent, fully recognized the Doctor’s pre-eminent ability; and at the last, when he knew that his own usefulness was gone, and that he was fast going down into the valley and shadow of death, Howe called his old Liberal friends around him and said :—

‘**T wish you to follow Tupper in the fu- ture as you have followed me in the past.”

We regret that the Doctor comes to speak in Charlottetown during the busiest season of the year; but we have no doubt that our farmers will make a ‘Big Push” and that the Skating Rink will be overcrowded, nevertheless.

False Telegrams.

Tue St. John Telegraph published, in its telegraphic columns, a very garbled state- ment of the meeting held in Charlottetown when the Premier and Finance Minister ad- dressed the electors. The Telegraph must have employed a clean Grit to furnish tele- grams for this place—a man who has no conscientious scruples against lying. There may be some consideration in cases where men are addressing others and a mis-state- ment is made; but when a man, for political purposes, sits down and cooly and deliber- ately places upon paper that which he knows to be false, he is committing a deed which should brand him as one of the most des- picable of liars.

The Telegraph’s editor knew, when he

published in his paper the statement that Mr. Brecken headed a crowd of roughs, he. was giving publicity to what was incorrect. He knew, from Mr. Brecken’s gentlemanly conduct on all occasions, that that gentlman would be incapable of rowdy conduct. Mr. Brecken demanded a hearing because two- thirds of the electors present had called upon him to reply to Cartwright—-and because he felt that he had right on his side (without the Cart). But Mr. McKenzie’s servile fol- lowers backed him up in his refusal to allow free discussion. Why are Messrs. McKenzie and Cartwright afraid of their opponents in the Maritime Provinces? If their argu- ments are unanswerable, what have they to fear? Surely they might defy the armies of their opponents if their position is invulnerable. The true secret of their cowardice is to be found in the weakness of their position. The policy of the Govern- ment may answer in an isolated country where all commercial, agricultural and in- dustrial branches are not dependent upon outside markets. It may answer a country where men can cry reform and practice corruption with impunity. It may doina country where the people have no voice in settling the questions which affect their interests. But in a country where the Government is arraigned before the bar of public opinion every four years, the “‘fly- on-the-wheel” policy will not do. The people demand legislation to relieve the commercial depression which has weighed down every mercantile house in the Do- minion. The people demand that some management of the ship of State should be displayed. The Government have pulled up the anchors; and they say “‘let her drive, we will find some creek into which the wind will take us, and we may get clear with our lives.”

‘‘The strong party is seldom rude, dis- orderly or unjust towards its opponents. Courtsey, moderation, forbearance, are evidences of the strength of which they are the outgrowth.”

The above, from the St. John Freeman, was, doubtless, written for the benefit of Mr. L. H. Davies - who would not let Mr. Brecken speak upon his platform—even for five minutes, the Editor of the Pat- viot, who dubs all his opponents liars and thieves, and the gentle supporters of Dr. McIntyre who pelt stones in the dark !

The Local Situation,

Tux Patriot seems to glory in the miis- use of the Local Premier's official influence—so long as it is against the Liberal-Conserva- tive candidates ; and we have not the shadow of a doubt that it glories in the way the Local Premier is sustaining it with the money of the Province. The Local Premier enables it—without burdening the Grit Party—to misrepresent and slander Liberal-Conservatives. It is, doubtless, extremely pleasant to receive from the Liberal-Conservatives the wages of defam- But we think

ing Liberal-Conservatives. the Putriot is just a little mistaken in the men if it expects the Liberal-Conservative members of the Local Government to per- mit “that sort o’ thing” much longer.

ee OED S

THE CAMPAIGN.

MEETING AT ELDON.

LAst EVENING Messrs. Pope and Brecken were heartily received by the electors of Eldon. They each spoke at length, and their speeches were evidently appreciated by the assembled electors. Mr. John Tan- ton also delivered an able address upon the Tariff Question. A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THANKS WAS GIVEN TO Mr. Pore for his political services in the past. This we take as an earnest of their unanimous support of Mr. Pope and his colleague in the approach- ing election.

MEETING AT WooD ISLANDS.

Last evening the Bachelor Candidates ad- dressed the people of Wood Islands. We learn that some of their fallacies were ex ploded by electors present.

Messrs. Pope and Brecken speak at Wood Islands this evening.

Prince County.

Advices from Prince County are most satisfactory. Our friends are working well for Hackett and Howatt. At Tryon, Somerset, Centreville, Kensington, the meetings were overwhelmingly in their favor. The Progress estimates that Howatt and Hackett’s majority in the Fourth Dis- trict will be from three to four hundred.

Kina’s County.

The great speeches of Pope and Brecken at Souris, have given an impetus to the cause of Reciprocal Free Trade in Kings. McFayden is already ruled out of the race, the Grits admitting that the contest will be close between Muttart and the two doctors, while MeDonald’s triumph is beyond doubt. We are glad to hear that our friends in in King’s are active, vigilant and confident. They are not the men to be beaten for wan t of sufficient exertion.

What a Life Long Reformer in Ontario has to Say.

Mr. CartstopHerR Macon, of the Town- ship of Chatham, thus shows cause for abandoning the party with which he has hitherto worked and supporting Mr. Rufus Stephenson, the Liberal-Conservative can- didate in the County of Kent, Ontario :—

‘“(ENTLEMEN,—As I am supporting Mr. Rufus Stephenson in the present contest against Mr. McMahon, of London, and as I have worked and voted heretofore for the Re- form party and against Mr. Stephenson, I deem it my duty as your old representative, in the ‘Township and County Councils, to state briefly my reasons for so doing :—

‘‘T find the leaders of the Reform party in power quite a different set of men to what they were in Opposition; I find that they have abandoned all the great principles so loudly boasted of since obtaining office; I find that they have increased the public debt un- necessarily, and that they are far more ex- eats en than the old Government; I find that that they are enriching many of their supporters at the expense of the country; 1 find that, instead of curtailing the expendi- ture of the Dominion during the present de- pression and hard times (when many good and true men are striving hard to make a scanty living for themselves and their families, they have increased the expenditure, increased the offices for their needy friends, and increased the salaries; I tind that the policy of the Government, in allowing wheat, oats, corn and garden produce to come into Canada from the States, free of duty, is an injury to every farmer in the land—the Americans have a free market with us, while we are kept out of their markets by heavy duties. Does any one sup- pose for a moment that the cute Yankee does not know what he is about when protectirg and enriching his farmers az he is? I ama Reformer, but cannot support the kind of re- form we have been having for the past five years. Reformers, don’t afraid of bei called ‘turn-coats,’ but step boldly out an support the measures best calculated to ensure the prosperity of the country. In my judg- meut the Policy of the Conservatives is the one for Canada at the present time. I intend doing so myself, and would advise: all my friends t«. vote for Rufus Stephenson.”

—— pe -__- Cartwright’s Insult to the High-

landers.

After, in one of his ‘‘pic nie speeches,” charging Sir John McDonald with thieving, Mr. Cartwright said :—

Perhaps he (Sir John) could not help it, as coming from a race of thieves and plunder- ers, his hereditary instincts were too strong to be suppressed.

At Summerside, Mr. Cartwright said this was intended for a ‘‘ goak” !

; prejudicing the rights of labor,

Sir John in Kingston, Tue campaign in Kingston was formally

opened on the 22nd inst, by the holding of

rg a ; * a public meeting m the City Hall. Sir John’s old supporters were all in their

4 wee?" places. The youns men, cov, Wwe»re on

hand, ready to do battle for the veteran chieftian, and the utmost enthusiasm pre- vailed. One of the Addresses presented to Sir John contained the following sentences,

which express sentiments sired by all true

Canadians everywhere ;

“Upon you and the policy of your party, the hopes of Canada are placed for a retarn of that prosperity which has cen denied to our county since the advent to power of the present Ministry, whose inconsistency, Mmecompetence and extravagance will, we hope, receive their due reward at the ensuing general election. We earnestly desire that, for many years yet to come, you may be spared to serve your country, in the interest of which you have spent the best years of your life, and that the day is not far distant when you and the party of which youare leader shall once again be called upon by her Majesty’s representative to assume control of the affairs of the Do- minion,”’

A special address, from the young men of Kingston, was one of the most pleasing and reassuring features of the meeting.

The young men say to Sir John :—

It must be conceded that your past career and your present political attitude are calcul- ated to evoke the loyal attachment and zealous co-operation of the young men of this country. For many years the advocate, and then the principal agent in the consummation of Con- federation, you, together with the party of which you are the acknowledged head, have given to Canadians a nationality of which they are justly proud. To-day you stand forth the champion of a policy which shall cement together in the bonds of commercial prosperity those provinces whose political unity you were largely instrumental in secur- ing. You promise a policy which will bring rehef from commercial stagnation. You pro mise a policy which shall promote the intro- duction and employment of capital without You promise a policy which shall send Canada boundin forward on a career of national prosperity, an the history of your past administration justi- fies our assurance of your ability to perform it. It is with a feeling of peculiar pride that we, the young Conservatives of Kingston, reflect upon the fact that thirty-four years ago the Conservatives of this city sent a young man to Parliament, who not only became the com manding figure among Canadian statesmen, but made for himself a name which will ever adorn the pages of Canadian history. Though the talents which have enabied you to accom- plish such results are the gift of nature, yet the noble zeal for the public service which has sustained you through so many years of diffi- culty and self-sacrifice will ever form an in- a to the rising generation of Canadians. We look furward without misgiving to the com- ing election, and confidently anticipate that the event here will be but an epitome of the result throughout the Dominion, namely a signal triumph for the Liberal-Conservative party.

Sir John addressed the electors for over two hours. He said he ‘‘had been in all parts of Ontario, and he had discovered that the farmers were beginning to find out that their interests were identical with those of the manufacturer. The Government. was going to fall in consequence of its repudia- tion of the National Policy. (Cheers.) He referred to the state of feeling in the Prov- inces, and predicted that victory was certain for the Opposition, and then when he saw his policy carried out, he might say with Simeon of old, ‘ Let thy servant depart in peace.’ He wanted the electors of Kingston to assist him in this great work. (Cheers.) He felt that they were going to return him by anincreased majority. (Cheers.) He need not say that a man in his position could get many constituencies if he wanted them. He had been offered several, but he would be true to his first love. (Cheers. ( He would not desert Kingston till Kingston deserted him. (Cheers.) He alluded to the non-resident cry that had been raised against him. Should they reject him and elect Mr. Gunn, he might be made Finance Minister—(laughter)—and he would be obliged to live out of Kingston. He would leave his case in their hands. He would not say a word against his opponent, Mr. Gunn, against whom he would fight an amicable battle at the polls.

The following resolution was then moved by the Mayor :

‘*That having listened to the masterly address of the Right Hon. Sir John McDonald, this

meeting regards the policy therein enunciated as founded on the wisest statesmanship, and as calculated to ensure the development of a prosperity denied to Canada under the present regime; that the course of the existing Admin- istration has been signally characterized by ex- travagance, corruption and incapacity, result- | ing largely in the prevalent depression, and | this meeting, further, asa tribute to the long | and distinguished career of the right hon. gen-
