loyal men of Canada who believe that our fisheries should not be yielded to the United States for nothing, merely because |the demagogue Frye and _ his unserupulous

the London Standard, which says : “We protest agaiast the idea of either Eng- land or Canada being forced into yielding 4 jot or tittle of their rights by such empty

The Fisheries.

How completely the leading Opposition- ists of this Province are out of touch with the sentiment of this country is evidenced by the the Hon. Daniel published in the Patriot of Saturday last.

letter of Davies,

Referring to the fishery trouble between the United States and Canada, Mr. Davies says

‘] think our wisest policy, at the termina tion of the treaty of Washington, would have heen to have said to them with regard to our tisheries: You are strong, we are weak ; (en't rob us of our fishing grounds; give us generous terms; cultivate good relations ; wait until the pear is ripe, it will drop into your mouths, and ‘the whole unbounded con- tinent will be yours and ours.’ ”

This would be the policy of craven cow- ida. It {1s net the policy of Canadians; it is not the policy which would be approved by men in Prince Edward Island ‘* who know their rights, and knowing dare main- tain.’

What! stoop to implore the Americans ‘“not to rob our fisheries,” but to ‘‘ wait until the pear is ripe,” and then gobble up fis. erties and a'!! Never. Though Canada

) nel of the St. Lawrence.

After dis- cribing its vast extent, he said: ‘‘But the mere extent of the country would t, perhaps, impress the mind so strongly, if

i there was notso much of the vast, the magni- | ticent, the national, in all its leading features.

lt is impossible te fancy that you are in a Province—a Colony ; you feel, at every step, that Canada must become a great nation, and st every step you pray most devoutly for the descent upon the country of that wisdom, and foresight, and energy, which shall make it the yreat treasuryof British institutions upon this continent, and an honor to the British name. All the lakes of Scotland thrown together would not make one of those great inland seas, which form, as it were, a chain of Mediter- raneans ; all the rivers of England, old father Thames included, would scarcely fill the chan- There is a grandeur is the mountain ranges, and a voice in the noble cataracts, which elevate the spirit above the ignorance aud the passions of the past, and the perplexities of the present, and make us feel that the great Creator of the universe never meaat such a country to be the scene of perpetual discord and degradation, but will yet inspire the people with the union, the virtue, and the true patriotism, by which alone its political and social condition shall be made to take, more nearly than it does now, the impress of its natural features. Canada is a country to be proud of; to inspire high thoughts ; to cherish a love for the sublime and beautiful, and to take its stand among the nations of the earth, in spite of all the circum- stances, which have hitherto retarded, and may still retard its progress.”

Since Howe wrote, the immense Plains of the Northwest and the great Pacific Pro- vince have been added to Canada; while the Maritime Provinces on the east have cast in their lot with the great Nation that

The $509,000 Matter.

From the fact that the Hon. Messrs.

Sullivan and Ferguson have not boasted

about the success of their last mission to Ottawa, the Patriot concludes that they did not, as THe EXaMINeR reported, obtain about $500,000 to be placed to the credit of this that we had our information from a reliable

THE CAMPATGN. CITY CANVASSING COMMIDTEES,

The Liberal-Conservative Canvassing Committees will meet to-night at 8 o'clock sharp.

VOTING.

An elector can vote in the Polling Dis- trict in the Voters’ List of which his name appears. “The fact that a voter has removed from the Polling District does not affect his right to vote in the Polling District where he is registered.

MEETING AT CHERRY VALLEY.

The Cherry Valley Polling Division or- ganized on the 27th inst., and appointed the following ofticers :—President, John McGillivray; Vice-President, Dr. A. Beers; Secretary, P. L. Murphy; Treasurer, Ed- ward Grant.

MEETING AT AVONDALE,

At a meeting of the Liberal Conserva- tive electors of Avondale, held on the 25th inst., for organization, the following officers were appointed :—

President-——John O'Keefe.

Vice-President—Thomas Mahar.

Treasurer—Patrick O'Donnell.

Secretary —John Fraser.

STRONG POINT.

The Journal says :—

‘Probably the strongest point made by Mr. Yeo why electors thould vote against the present Government, in his speech on Thars- day night, was that they had not allowed their whole term to expire and consequently he had been wrongfully deprived, in fact, rob- bed, of sessional fees, amounting to $1,000, which he very much needed.”

KENSINGTON MEETING.

The Journal reports that a large and in- fluential meeting was held at Kensington on Friday last. Electors from quite a dis- tance were present. Messrs. Hackett, Le- furgey, Yeo, Perry and others spoke. The people seemed very much pleased with the views expressed by the Conservative can- didates.

SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.

Among the signs of the times are :

General prosperity ;

Increase in the public revenue ;

Increase in railway receipts ;

Increase in the population of cities ;

Increase in saving bank deposits ;

Steady growth and expansion of manu- factures ;

Searcity of skilled labor, owing to plenti- fulness of work ; and

The high standing of Canadian abroad.

MEETINGS IN KINGS.

Meetings were held at High Bank on Thursday evening and at. Murray Harbor South on Friday evening last. There was a large attendance at each. Rousing speeches were delivered by the candidates

-Messrs. Muttart and Macdonald—and by Hon. Samuel Prowse. The meetings were largely in favor of Conservative candidates. Messrs. Muttart and Macdonald have cancelled their meetings and are going to follow the Grit candidates, and fight them fair square and face to face.

A GOOD REASON,

The Halifax Chronicle says that ‘Mr. Chapleau is the prince of the boodlers of (Quebec, as Tupper of the boodlers of Nova Scotia.” This is probably the reason that the Quebee Grits offered last year to accept Mr. Chapleau as leader, provided he would condemn the execution of Riel. They pro- posed to make this another case of import- ed righteousness.

RACY CORRESPONDENCE.

An Antigonish despatch says :—

‘‘By accepting nomination as the liberal candidate, in opposition to the Minister of Justice, Hon. Mr. Thompson, ex-Speaker Me- Gillivray runs the risk of having daylight let into his recent supplications to the Dominion government for the county judgeship to which Mr. MelIsaac was appointed. Mr. MeGilli- vray, who is a_ brother-in-law of Senator Power, was at that time Speaker of the local legislature. He is understood to have brought every influence to bear to get the judgeship. Hon. Mr. Thompson will be able to treat his constituents to some racy correspondence on the subject,”

** POOR OLD TILLEY.”

Attorney-General Longley, of Nova Scotia, in his crgan, the Halifax Recorder, discusses politics in a manner charmingly characteristic of himself and party, as fol- lows :-

‘* In New Brunswick, Toryism is riven and distracted. In St. John, Everett and Barker (the two sitting members) have renominated themselves, and Zeke McLeod is to make the third in the forlorn hope. James Rourke, a defeated candidate in the last local elections, wanted the nomination, and threatens to make it hot for his quondam allies. An effort was made to get poor old Tilley to put on his slippers and run again for St. John; but his keenness for No. 1 has not deserted him, and the fact that he is not in the field has thrown adamper over the wigwam, inasmuch as it indicates that the New Brunswick Pecksniff feels well satisfied that the government is doomed,”

A FORGETFUL CORRESPONDENT.

A telegram to the Halifax Says:

‘*The candidates for the commons are hold- ings meetings throughout Queen’s county, and the Liberals are meeting with great success. In King’s county the Liberals have every- thing pretty much their own way. No meet- ings have yet been held in Prince county.”

Chronicle

This correspondent forgets there was a meeting at Tignish at which there was a division, and from among 160 persons present, but eight could be found to take the side of the Liberal candidates! The Liberal candidates called a meeting at Summerside, but (significant fact) preferred that the Liberal-Conservative candidates should stay away. Grit correspondents have very bad memories! None of the meetings in Queen’s County were divided, so that the correspondent could have no tangible ground for the assertion that ‘‘ the Liberals are meeting with great success.” The as- sertion that ‘Liberals have everything pretty much their own way in King’s” is ‘also entirely lacking in the essential element.

BRUTAL ATTACK,

An Ottawa despatch says :-—

‘* The brutal attack in the Ottawa corres- pondence of the Globe upon Sir John Macdon- ald, suggesting that his mind is giving way ant that his condition is a source of great anxiety to his friends, has caused great indig nation among all parties in this city. Sir John has been engaged with his secretaries at work on the necessary correspondence connected with the elections with all his usual vigor, his intellect never having been brighter. He has been receiving busints of hfs department as well, and hia

wonderfnl capacity for sustained labor has never been more regular than at this moment. The statement that Sir Charles Tupper has been sent for in consequence of the failing powers of the premier, and that pending his arrival Mr. White's principal duty has been to watch Sir John is without a particle of truth. Sir Charles Tupper is coming to Canada at hie own suggestion to confer with the government on subjects of Im- perial and colonial importance. As for the statement that Hon. Mr. White's principal duty is to watch Sir John, it is simply absurd. Mr. White has only seen Sir John twice in ten days, except at council. Sir John never needed watching less than he does at the pres- ent time. slightest mental failing in Sir John is a cruel wicked lie from beginning to end, without the faintest or slightest shade of foundation.”

Mr. J. H. Fletcher's Success.

Some little time since we noted with pleasure that Mr. J. H.- Fletcher, formerly one of our well known citizens, was recent- ly elected to the Dakota Legislature, and that his name was being mentioned in con- nection with the Speakership of the House. The Legislature has been convened, and we see that there was a scramble between North and South Dakota for the Speaker- ship, to which our old friend wisely de- clined to be a party, and withdrew from the contest. Had Mr. Fletcher consented to take sides with the South against the North, the ‘ plum” coveted so much by both sections was easily within his grasp. But he preferred letting the position, with its honors and emoluments, pass through his hands, to holding it as the result of a party division. Respecting the fight, a Bismarck despatch tothe St. Paul (Minn.) Daily Globe says: ‘‘ While the wild and woolly salons were on Monday night trying to unite on some man to preside over them, Mr. Fletcher was hauled out of his bed three times, and pleaded with to say that he was a divisionist, and he might have the Speakership. This he absolutely refused to do.”” We see, however, that Mr. Flet- cher has been elected Chairman of the two most important committees—Appropria- tions and Mines and Mining—two positions which will enable him to wield great power and influence in the councils of Dakota. Of Mr. F's. success, political and otherwise, his many friends in his old Island home will always be pleased to hear.
