Crooked Tactics.

Tue Grits of this Island have decried, misrepresented and defamed Mr. Pope in vain. To-day Mr. Pope is, by all odds, the most popular man in the Province. And they know it. The Grits of this Island, know, also, that the McKenzie Government cannot be successfully defended against the charge of having, while in office, broken every promise they made, and violated every principle they laid down while in Therefore they have raised

In the vain hope of diverting attention from the

the bugbear of increased taxation.

short comings and sins of the ‘ Organized Hypocrisy,” they try to make people believe that Sir Jobn is such an arrant fool as to try to obtain office by asking the country to

t

consent to increased taxation! “The ruse

is ‘too thin.” Every day the people see more clearly the truth. Every day the Grits are made more clearly aware that Sir John’s policy of a judicious re-adjustment of the tariff, to the end that the people of this country may receive every possible ad- vantage under it, is fast gaining ground in Prince Edward Island.

Their false arts having failed utterly, what do our readers—the honest, intelli- gent electors of this Island—suppose is the next dodge of the Grits in this Island ? From falsehood the most unblushing, they have descended to meanness, the most con- temptible. They actually approached Lib- eral-Conservatives with the shameless pro- position toaccept Pope,if the Liberal-Conser- vatives would consent to accept Sinclair ! ! Of course the base offer was rejected with becoming scorn. Jor why should Liberal- Conservatives—strong in the right as they are strong in numbers—throw overboard the eloquent advocate, Brecken, and accept the canny, oily, silent hypocrite, Sinclair ! Mr. Brecken never proclaimed temperance and then paid the grog bills incident to an election campaign. Mr. Brecken never pursed up his mouth about economy when in opposition and carried out a ‘‘dashaway policy” when in the Government. Mr. Brecken never pretended to be the watchful defender of the rights of the people and straightway attempted their political dis- franchisement. Mr. Brecken did not sell his political support to procure the represen- tation of his Island Province in the Dominion Cabinet and afterwards submit without a word to the robbery of this privilege gained by his political prostitution. Mr. Brecken never pretended to bea red hot advocate of non-sectarian schools and at the same time connived at the establish- ment for all time of separate schools in the immense territories of the great Northwest. Why, then, should Sinclair be preferred to him? Mr. Brecken is a gentlemen in whom the electorate of Queen’s County may con- fidenly rely. It isa notorious fact that he might now hold a seat in the Local Govern- ment if he had but consented to represent only one section of the community ; and his refusal to consent, is an assurance to friend and foe alike, that he is a man true to prin- ciple—true to that which he believes to be

the right. Itis also now a notorious fact that Mr. Brecken might now be a Senator.

That he resigned his seat in the Senate is, at least, proof that he is not a selfish poli- tician. Then why shonld Sinclair be pre- ferred to him? Mr. Brecken’s eloquent voice is never silent when his Party and his Province require its use in their behalf. The voice of Sinclair was silent when the vital interests of his constituents were in imminent danger. Sinclair had the ineffable effrontery to sug- gest that Sinclair should be taken and Brecken left.

And what of the gallant Colonel McGill —the chivalrous hero of a thousand fights — who, despite the persistent silent opposi- tion of the Patriot, forced himself into the field, and was finally (if coldly) recognized by the Pairty. He, too, was to be left in te lurch —a fallen monument to the perfidy of the Organized Hypocrisy.

To crown all—to cap the climax—the Patriot this morning—after finding that every effort to obtain the proposed ‘‘ com- promise” was unvailing, adds to falsehood meanness and treachery—the darker and more dg zraceful-—but not less characteristic of Gritism—hypocrisy ; and cooly ¢alls upon

The Picnic at Tracadie Beach.

Tus Liberal-Conservatives of Lot J4 and Scotch Fort have the honor of inangurating in this Province the Political Picnic. The pienie to be held on Tracadie Beach, on Saturday next, will, we have little doubt (weather permitting), be an exceedingly enjoyable affair. It will prebably attract a large number of persons from the City and various other parts of the Island—especially if, as we hear is likely, Dr. Tupper or James McDonald—or both—be present.

The Premier's Proposed Visit.

ir is quite impossible to account fer the the acts of desperate men. We are not, therefore, much surprised to hear that the Hon. Alex. McKenzie proposes coming to this Island on Friday evening next. The report was current about town yesterday and this morning. It may be an invention. The Grits just now seem to enjoy playing fantastic tricks with the people, on the prin- ciple, we suppose, that “those whom the sods wish to destroy they first make mad.” And in view of the critical situation in Lambton it is, we think, more than likely that the report is an invention. Still, the followers of Mr. McKenzie in this Island inust undoubtedly ‘‘be stiffened up a bit” if they intend seriously to offer opposition to the Liberal-Conservative candidates now And it may be that, to the end that they may be stiffened up, they have prevailed upon the hardly-pressed Premier to spend a few days in Prince Ed- ward Island.

Shooting Match.

Mason Morris’ Battery of Militia Ay- tillery held their Annual Prize Meeting at Kensington Range, on Saturday last. The weather—which at first looked rather un- favorable—cleared up, and, with the excep- tion of a high wind, was all that could be desired. The ranges fired at were 200, 400 and 500 yards—5 rounds at each range. The scores made, considering the high wind, were very fair, Corporal Hewson taking the first prize with a score of 51 points—the remaining principal prize-takers being close upon him. In the evening the Battery assembled at the Drill Shed, when the prizes were presented to the fortunate shots by Major Morris. <A vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to the friends of the Battery, who had so handsomely sub- scribed to their prize list. Gunner Offer, to whose energy the success of the meeting was, in a great measure, due, also received the thanks of the Battery. The following is a list of the prize-winners and prizes :— Ist prize.

An as- sault case of Murdock Bell vs. Mrs. Tobin, was settled—defendant to pay expenses. Samuel McDonald, arrested on complaint of Mary McLeod, for larceny, was remand- ed 8 days.

The Austrian loss was two killed and ten wounded. Maglai was found deserted by all excepting a few Christians, and the town was accordingly spared.

Caratheodori Pasha, yesterday, received fresh instructions of a conciliatory charac- ter, and has communicated them to Count Andrassy.

A dispatch from Constantinople to the Manchester Guardian says:—‘‘Letters have been received from a person on board Her Britanic Majesty’s steamship Swiftsure, in the Gulf of Saros, which declare that the Russians are still busily engaged in fortify- ing the coast and do not expect peace will be permanent.” Drespen, Aug. 9.
