Perry's Peculiar Position.

Weare asked by the Patriot to do two (1) to correct the statement that Mr. 8. F. Perry was nominated under pro-

things :

John Macdonald and his colleagues.

The people of Canada are not prepared for a change of rulers just now. Che people of Canada are not prepared to remove from office the statesmen who rescued their country from the deplorable condition in which the incapables,who were hurled from power in 1878, had left her. Che people of Canada are not prepared to put their trust inmen who have defended rebellion, and opposed the building up of The people of Canada ire not prepared to remove from power a

their own country.

its existence to the statesmanship of Sir! This is a proper resolution.

We hope that Liberal-Conservative electors in each of the Counties will act according to it.

Grit Prophecies.

Tue St. John Sux publishes a list of the Grit prophecies in 1882, none of which ‘‘came to time.” Among them we fiad the following :—

**The Liberals will carry al the seats in Montreal.” They did not carryone. ‘Mr. Blake will have 68 supporters at least out of 92 in Ontario.” Mr. Blake obtained 38

threatened vur governmental institutions.

‘* We are in a position now to charge the leaders of that party, the ring-leaders and wire pullers of that party (and we make charge solomniy and with full belief in its truthfulness) with the greatest crime that can be charged against citizenship—that of selling their country to a foreign foe. We do not connect Sthe Hon. Edward Blake personally with this latest atrocity. On that point there is no evidence at hand; but we state frankly that we have evidence that warrants us in making a general charge against the persons who manage the Grit party’s campaign fund in making it on something more than hearsay evidence. We charge specifically and have

“The oaly provisions mude for vacancies oceurrins between the General Election and the first meeting of the General Assembly is contained in the lsth section. That section provides for vacancies csused by death or ac- ceptance of office.

“It is limited to those two cases; and in my a the seit of any member elect to the

is that Mr. Davies only paid a mere frac- tion of this. He succeeded in knocking off the names of some 125 voters from the list, 95 of whom were Roman Catholics, at a total cost of $12.50. A cheap way of
