Hon. J. C. Pore was nominated by Arthur Simpson, Esq., New London, and seconded by Archibald Crawford, Esq., Belle Creek. The motion was carried by a un animous vote.

Hon. F. Brecken was nominated by Donald W. Palmer, Esq., Crapaud, and seconded by John Hogan, Esq., Hope River. The nomination was unanimously endorsed.

On motion of Alexander Martin, Esq., Belle Creek, seconded by John Hogan, Esq., the following resolutions were ad- opted :—

Resolved; That it isin the interest of this Province that Reciprocal Free Trade should be established with the United States of America, and, therefore, we demand that the

tariff shall be so readjusted as to effect this desirable object.

Resolved, That the action of the Dominion Government in adding thirty-six millions of dollars to the public debt during the last five years, and in increasing the aunual expendi- ture by the sum of two millions collars, has seriously increased the monetary difficulties arising from the prolouged coinmercial depres- sion.

Resolved, That the Dominion Government, by depriving this Province of representa- tion in the Cabinet and by persistently re- fusing to restore it, has forfeited the confi- dence of the people of this Province.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con- vention, the attempt of the Dominion Govern- ment to disfranchise at least one-third of the electors of this Province, although happily de- feated, was a gross outrage upon the rights and liberties of the people.

Resolved, That the Dominion Government has violated its pledges of economy, and has also greatly lowered the standard of political eel. nm as evidenced by the Steel and Goderich Harbor Jobs, and by the conviction of so many of its leading supporters for bribery and corruption.

F. Bracken, Esq., spoke at c msiderable length on the political topics of the day. [he attempt made in 1874 by the Mc- Kenzie Government, with the consent of our then representatives in the House 0! Commons, to deprive our young men of their franchise, should not be forgotten by the latter. The reason given by the Gov ernment for doing so, was that there was a Registration of Voters in this Island foi the Legislative Council and none for the House of Assembly. This statement our representatives in the House of Commons never attempted to deny, and it was no’ till the Bill reached the Senate that the error was exposed. Hon. Senator Havi. land there pointed out that the clause con-

taining this provision was a dastardly as |

tempt to disfranchise the young men of this Island, and exposed it in sucha lucid and able manner that it was struck out of the Bill altogether. Col. McGill was out as a candidate for the House of Commons, In the

Grit interests, for this County; but he did

not even enjoy the confidence of his own

party! They would not accept him as their candidate as yet, but might do so

hereafter, if they could not geta better man. The other Grit candidate was Mr. Peter Sinclair, who sat silent as the grave while the interests of the Island were being sacrificed. The principles maintained by Mr. Pope and himself were established and enforced before many of the present genera- tion were born, and would continue to be 30 for ages to come, because they were those of right, and such as must commend hemselves to every right thinking man of independent mind. Nunbers of Mr. Me- Kenzie’s supporters in the House of Commons were stronger Protectionists than any members of the Liberal- Conservative Party. Messrs. Devlin, Wood, irving, Workman and others were Protec- tionists of the deepest dye; and yet the Pre- mier did all he conid to have them elected, simply because they were his supporters Because those gentlemen supported the present Liberal Party, Mr. McKenzie and the Putrivé patted them on the back and supported them in every way. Hon. Mr. Blake was held up by his party as a polli- tical purist, and if they were charged with any act of political corruption, they replied, ‘¢ Qh, we have Mr. Blake on our side! They used his respectability as a disinfect- ant fer all their political corruption, aud sprinkled it all over their impurities,just as one would use a disinfectent for anything putrid. In fact, Mr. Blake was the otto oi voses to his party; but, rather than allow his flivor to be dissapated, he frequentiy cork- ed hs bottle andwan away. Sir John was an exceiiens judge of human nature, and hid brought men of all shades of political opinions into his political arms. On the other hand, Mr. McKenzie had taken to his political bosom such men as Mr. Cauchon, whose political odor ‘* was rank and smelled to heaven.” But, at the first opportunity he had, to get rid of him, he appointed him Governor of Manitoba. Mr. Pope and himself, if elected, (and he felt confident that such would be the case) would support that fiscal policy which would serve the best interests of the country. They would think of their country first, and of party afterwards. They would support that policy which would build up this great country and conduce to its prosperity.

Mr. Hovason having been called for by the audience, took the platform and said that the greatest and most satisfactory work done to-day, was that of the Liberal-Con- servative Convention which had just con- cluded its sitting. In that Convention were assembled leading men from all parts of Queen’s County. ‘There was not much talk nor oratory indulged in: but there was expression which

a quiet determined showed that every man present meant what he said and what he meant. There

was but one sentiment,and that was that the organized hypocrisy was doomed, and

that a better Government should take its!

place. The Convention nominated two men to represent Queen’s County in the House of Commons, and these two men would be elected. These gentlemen were Pope and Brecken. (Cheers.) When asked by a political opponent for his vote, he replied, **No,” and that ‘‘of all the historical char- acters he ever formed a hatred for, Judas iscariot had the largest share,” as being the arch-betrayer. It was now for the people of this Province to pour their vengeance upon the heads of those representatives who had, in the House of Commons, betrayed their best interests. The Liberal Conservatives had formed an excellent platforia, and had bound its five planks so firmly together that nothing could break it up. He alluded to the five resolutions passed at the Conven- tion to-day, and he would now submit them to this meeting, and would move that they be adopted. ‘These resolutions had beer adopted unanimously by that Convention, composed of Delegates assenbdled from ali partsofthe Province. (Resolutions inser!sd before. )

Mr. Hodgson said that, in order to have our true interests properly attended to and watched over as they should he, this Province must be represented in the Privy Council. We once had a representative there; but had no reason to be proud of him. He had deserted his post, and was now to be found in a cocked hat dispensing tin medals to the Ladians of the great North

West. Big Cloud and other worthies were welcome to him. Mr. McKenzie soon took the measure of i ~his_ calibre:

and got rid of him as soun as he could con- veniently doso. There was one thing of which we could now be certain, and that

was that hereafter we would be fairly and

ea

properly represented in the Cabinet, as the cout of the Grit party would be complete at he coming General Election. Let Mr. P. Sinclair be sent into private life, the Local Legislature, or anywhere else but to Ottawa. Almost one of the first acts our six Grit representatives did was_ to try to deprive our young men of their right to vote for our representatives in the House of Commons. But their plans did not succeed. Whenever Queen’s County had a chance, It sent Hon. Mir. Pope to Ottawa. Another attempt had heen made—he (Mr. H.) did not by whom to rob our young men of their votes. The

County Jndge, he thought, had misap- prehended the law with reference to the

cegistration of franchise votes. But a man- damus had been obtained at the Supreme Gourt at Georgetown and served upon him yesterday. Young men could now go and iave their votes registered, and the ques- ‘ion could afterwards be argued, before the Judges He hoped that young*™men, chrough neglect, would not disfranchise themselyes. Register! register! register : was the war-cry of a certain politician, and it might well be applied to our present cir- sumstances. Let us resolve that we shall be misrepresented in the House of Conm- mons no longer.

Mr. Pore took the platform after being repeatedly called for, and said that though ne had the honor of representing the largest and finest constituency in the Dominion, he had been denounced by his political oppo- nents as a complete failure as a represen- tative. If those who thus denounced hin really thought such to be the case, why had they sent the Editor of the ‘‘Patriot” all the way to Ottawa for the sole purpose of misrepresenting and slandering him? He had little or no opportunity, on account of his being in the Opposition, to do anything for this Province, as the Government were determined to grant him nothing whatever, but the times would soon be changed, as the people had now an opportunity of send- ing with him five assistants to help him to obtain justice for the Province. When this was done, this Island would receive its share of.justice, He felt proud to say that he had been nominated by the Convention held to-day of Delegates from all sections of this County; and, as he had been over the greatest portion of his constituency,and found that the number of his friends and

supporters had largely increased he felt confident of success. The election of his hon. friend Mr. Brecken

was also certain. There was an impression in some parts of the country that the Lib- eral-Conservative party would increase the ourdens of the people. There was not a word of truth in this report. The chief ob- ject of his party was to obtain Reciprocity with the United States. If the people of that country were shown that it would be to ‘their interest to reciprocate with us they would do so ; if they were not made to feel this, they would persist in refusing. There were only a few of the States which were in- cerested in opposing Reciprocity with Can- ada, but their opposition would be overcome by pursuing a propercourse. What Canada winted was reciprocal free trade—not one- sided free trade. He hoped that the people would return representatives to Ottawa who insist that this Province be represented in the Cabinet. If six Liberal-Conservatives were returned from this Island, they would have suflicient influence to secure for it justice and fair-play.

Hon. Senator HaviLanp was very much pleased with the result of the Convention which was held to-day. Candidates nomi- nated as Messrs. Pope and Brecken were, must feelin a much better position than if they had thrust themselves upon the coun- try, as they had been nominated by the bone and sinew and intelligence of this in- fluential County. He spoke with his usual foree and eloquence upon the general politi- cal questions of the day.

The resolutions were then severally put by the Chairman and carried unanimously.

Mr. James Hotmes, one of the Dele- gates to the Convention, said that the meet- ing to-day had been more satisfactory than any other political gathering ever held on this Island. Mr. Brecken, five years ago, was almost unknown in his part of the coun- try, and yet had nearly succeeded in being elected. To-day that hon. gentleman was well and favorably known, and would poll a very much larger vote. There would be no difficulty in securing the election of the two candidates which had been nominated by the Convention to-day. The Liberal- IC mservatives had, in times past, fought ‘battles when they knew they would lose; ‘but they would now fight when they were confident of winning a glorious victory. | Cheers.

Mr. D. Fercvson said he had not been ree at the Convention, but had learned, 'with the greatest pleasure, of the work that ‘had been done by it, and of the happy se- i\lection of candidates for the representation {of the County in the Dominion House of Commons that had been made. The Lib- 'eral-Conservatives of (jueen’s County had

candidates for whom they would be proud to fight and vote for at the coming election. (Cheers. )

Mr. D. Patmer had been very much pleased with the proceedings at the Conven- tion held to-day. It was the first meeting of the kind that had ever been held in this Province, and had given the fullest satis- jaction to delegates from all partsof the County. The prospects for the election of the two gentleinen who had been nomin- ated were most satisfactory, and he had not the slightest doubt of the result of the con- test. Some of Mr. Pope’s bitterest oppo- nents in his part of the country, had becon:e his best friends. He fully agreed with the remarks w fa

hich had fallen from the different speakers this evening, and hoped that every inan would du his duty, and never cease to work till the battle was won. (Cheering. ) The thanks of the meeting were then ten- dered to His Worship Mayor Carvell for his able conduct in the chair, to which he suit- ably ieplied Three enthusiastic cieers were then given for the Liberal Conservative Party, after which the meeting adjourned.

n Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo- ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There 1s no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away tu try its virtues, with satisfactory resulis im every case, You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.
