“Remember and Reward.”

A writer in to-day’s Putriot says : ‘¢ Lot the young men, however, learn gratitude. Let them remember and reward their true friends, otherwise they are undeserving of being free men, and of the privileges they enjoy.”

This is excellent advice ! have now an opportunity of showing their gratitude. Their memories are not too short; but they will indeed “ remember’ that the Hon. Peter Sinclair did his very best to disfranchise every one of them. It was more than an error of judgment—it was acrime; and now that the culprit is brought to the bar of public opinion, and stands for judgment, we feel sure that the electors will ‘‘ remember and reward” him.

The electors

The Grit Candidates.

Tue Secretary’s Report of the Reform Convention (so-called) is published in an- other column. The Local Prremier says, in his hifalutin way, that he was present, and it was a grand affair—reflecting the in- telligence and the worth of Queen’s County ! We hope he was equally well satisfied with the selection by the Convention of Col. McGill as one the Grit candidates ! '

After ignoring Colonel McGill's persistent efforts to force himself upon the constitu- ency, the Local Premier and his party will, no doubt, support Col. McGill with all the power and influence he and they possess.

King’s County.

A GENTLEMAN who has been travelling in King’s County, gives a very gratifying ac- count of the prospects of Messrs. McDon- ald and Muttart. He says the Liveral-Con- servatives, of the various sections, are con- fident of electing their men. They are working harmoniously and _ well, and they are determined to work until their efforts are crowded by victory. On the other hand, it appears as though Dr. McIntyre could not possibly shake off the odium attaching to the tap-room plot. That was an unfor- tunate mistake at the beginning, of the campaign, and its ef- fects will be shown in the election. Dr. McIntyre would have been beaten whether or no; but the stigma of rowdyism has been laid upon him by his own friends, and it renders his defeat doubly certain.

ee

A Suspicious Circumstance.

In another column will be found the Secretary’s report of the Reform Conven- tion. The names of several gentlemen are given as Delegates, and the readers are left to their own conjectures as to the sections of the country they represent. It is not improbable but that some of the so-called Delegates may have been present to repre- sent themselves, and that the naines were given promiscuously to enable the nere dentialed to take part in the proceedings and increase the number of Delegates.

Tue necessity of a reformatory is becom ing more and more apparent. In the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this morn- ing a mere youth was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment with hard labor for the grievous offence of stealing one boot. The present system is calculated to educate criminals instead of reforming them. Upon the expiration of this boy’s sentence he will come forth from our common prison bear- ing the stigma of ‘‘jail bird.” When will or people exert themselves and provide a proper reformatory for youthful traasgressors who, in the majority of cases, have indolent or drunken parents and are at a very early age cast upon a cold and friendless world without any one to offer a word of counsel. It is a crying shame to our people that we do not possess such a much needed insti- tution.

Se PEE:

The Grit Meeting.

SINCLAIR, MGILL, HON D.

MOORE AND THE “LOCAL PARTY PLATFORM NOT MOTION AND No DtI-

SPEECHES BY DAVIES, MR. PREMIER” —-THE SUBMITTED —NO VISION.

Ir was pleasing to note that the audience present at the ‘general meeting of the Re- form Party” was for the most part made up of Liberal-Conservatives ; for it is well always to hear both sides of a question. Even if nothing was to be learned from the speeches of the Grit candidates, the Messrs. Davies and the lively Mr. Moore, they per- haps set some a-thinking, and thus con- firmed them in their Liberal-Conservative principles.

The Chair was taken, at about half-past eight, by the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd; and Mr. John Lawson, of the Patriof, was called upon to act as Secretary.

The Chairman remarked that quite a number of intelligent delegates from the country were present; and he invited them to come forward and tell of the prospects in their various districts. But, coy as spirits of the vast deep, or having no good pros- pects to portray, the delegates from the country did not come.

The Hon. Peter Sinclair then stepped to the front and delivered a set speech. He expressed his satisfaction with the amnesty of Rejl and Lepine; but he said never a word about the invidious distinction made in the case of O'Donoghue. He referred to Senator McPherson as a millionaire who wanted favors from the Government, but could not get them; and who, in revenge, wrote a ridiculous pamphlet, which had been knocked into a cocked nat by George Brown of the ‘* Big Push” notoriety. The steel rails, he said, ‘‘ are worn out;” and every cent added to the Public Debt of the country, since Mr. M:Kenzie attained to power is due to the extravagance and heedlessness —not of McKenzie—but of Sir John McDonald. He spoke his speech upon the Trade Question, and, as though his last hope of election lay in it, he insisted that Sir John McDonald meant to raise the taxes so that the country would would be ruined. It may be, however, that he hadn’t then seen Sir John’s telegram to John Boyd. Hon. L. H. Davies asked him to explain about the Franchise votes, and he did so in well considered terms. Hon. Mr. McGill then stepped to the front—rejoicing in his nomination by dele- gates who, he said, would not suffer in com- parison with those who nominated Pope and Brecken. Mr. MeGill said that many a better man than Sir John MeDonald has paid the penalty of his crimes in the peni- tentiary, and that the policy of Sir John’s party is high taxes on the people at large for the benefit of a few wealthy manufac- turers. It will be seen that he placed the tariff question on the same false bottom that Mr. Sinclair did.

Mr. Moore, of Crapaud, spoke in a good- humored strain about the price he pays for his sugar. He says he gets it for 7} cents a pound. Some one of the audience sug- gested ‘‘molassses sugar |”

Hon. D. Davies denied that he was driven out of King’s County, as reported by the Opposition press. Hespoke of the Fran- chise Deprivation attempted by the Govern- ment. He said that he objected to the ballot, but M. Dorion represented that it was re- quired in Quebec, and insisted that it should brought into use all over the Dominion; and, of course, he had to submit. He said truly that it was wrong to suppose we have Free Trade. The tariff is framed on Pro- tective Principles, and affords a protection of 174 per cent. He went pretty fully into the sugar question—showing that the United States sugar refiners obtain from their Government a drawback of ? of a cent per lb. on the refined sugar they ex- port to Canada and other countries. They thus have an advantage over Canadian Sugar Refiners; and Canadian Refiners are killed out. He was, however, opposed to countervailing sugar duties for the preser- vation of the refining industries. He said the thriving towns of the Eastern States have been built up at the expense of the Western States, and he thought this unfair to the latter.

K. Henderson, Esq., spoke; and was fol- lowed by the

Hon. Louis H. Davies, Premier of the Local Government. Mr. Davies’ speech was full of grand principles and glowing prospects. We shall refer to it to-morrow.

The platform adopted by the Convention was, very prudently, not submitted to the meeting for ratification.

The Tignish Meeting.

THE SECRETARY'S FALSE REPORT.

A formal contradiction of the secretary's false report of the Tignish meeting has been published several days ; and we have no doubt it was read by the editor of the Put- riot. But although the false report was copied by the Patriot, and editorially com- mented upon by the Patriot, not one word has appeared in it about the “‘conTRADIC- rion” of the false report signed by six cf the yeomanry of the West and which is as

follows :—

The undersigned, having attended the meet ing held in Tignish on the 6th of July, and having noticed the proceedings thereat, lo publicly declare that the report of the Secre- tary, John MacPhee, is not correct, In many respects. ;

We consider that we would be concurring in the statement, set forth in said report, did we not endeavor to rectify the same, as soon as opportunity offers.

Mr. Howatt did not say that he would go for ‘‘ protection on oats, because a lot of oat- meal came frem the United States to Summer- side, and prevented him from selling the oats he had on hand.” Mr. Howatt did say that ‘‘ he would go for a duty on oats,” but he did not give it as his reason that it was because oatmeal came from the United States to Sum- merside. He said ‘‘ he understood no oats ‘came from the United States bere except oat- meal,”

In the fourth paragraph the Secretary says that ‘‘ when the question was put to him (Mr. Hackett) how did he act when he was asked if he was willing to have his salary curtailed, asa Member? He stood as mute as a marble statute.”

Now, Mr. Hackett was not asked sucha question. He (Mr. Hackett) answered every question that was put to him to the satisfac- tion of his hearers. Again, the secretary says that “J. F. White’s speech took well and showed plainly that Mr. Hackett had dis- franchised the young men ef this Province.” The facts are, that Mr. White made some assertions about Mr. Hackett’s vote on the Ballot Act which he was asked to prove, and he called on Mr. Conroy, who was then absent. This created a confusion in the assembly, after which Mr. White could not proceed without being interrupted. He defiantly told his hearers that if they would not listen to him he would oceupy the speaker’s stand until they would listen. This did not please his hearers, who asked him how much he was paid for speaking in behalf of Perry and Yeo? Who ave him the office of Collector of Customs » Finally Mr. White was compelled to leave the speaker’s stand.

On the whole, the secretary’s report of the meeting held on the 6th of July is far from being impartial and is a misrepresentation of the facts.

The Secretary also omits to report the divi- sion taken on the resolution at the close of the meeting.

Mr. McPhee moved a resolution of confi- dence in Messrs. Perry and Yeo—that they again be nominated as candidates—to which J. J. Arsenault moved in amendment, that Messrs. Perry and Yeo—having lost the con- fidence of the people—should not be nomi- nated, but that Messrs. Hackett and Howatt be the candidates. The chairman then pro- ceeded to put the question, when a majority of, at least, twenty to one, stood up for the amendment—there being about three hundred electors in the building at the time.

PARIS.

A GRAND DEMONSTRATION—P. E. THE WORLD’S EXPOSITION.

ISLAND IN

A PRIVAT correspondent at Paris writes:

‘We saw the Grand illumination * * It was something wonderful. The lakes in the Bois De Bologne were perfectly ablaze with all kinds of colored fire and all the trees were hung with lanterns nearly as thickly as fruit hangs from fruit trees. | never before saw such a multitude collected together in the night. They had sume very fine music in the afternoon in the gardens of the Tuilleries. As the crowd was leaving that place, three girls—one dressed in red, another in white, and the third in blue— were caught sight of armin arm. This was taken as the signal for a falling-in to ranks for a procession, with the tri-colored young women at its head. And if ever I heard shouting, it was the singing of that crowd as they sang the ‘‘ Marsallaise” up the Rue Rivoli—every one getting more enthusiastic as he went on—when they came to the end of the words giving a loud Vive La France, Vive La Republique—and then beginning the song again. “fT went to the Exposition a few days! since, and ‘‘did” the Canadian Department,

A imeeting of delegates was held this afternoon in the Reform Club Roem for the purpose of choosing candidates to represent Queen’s County in the Dominion Parlia- ment, Hon. T. W, Dodd in the Chair. The

following delegates were present:—

G. Howatt, D. Matheson, John Moore, Dr. McKay, James Smith, Edward Henry, John C. Clark, James Inman, Donald Campbell, Louis Peno,

Wm. Laird, David Mutch, Ewen Campbell, John McRae,

Neil McKenzie, George Row,

Hon. P. Sinclair was proposed by P. Foley, Esq., seconded by D. McKenzie, Esq., supported by Hon. H. J. Callbeck, G. W. Milner, Esq., J. C. Clark, Esq., and on being put to the meeting passed unani- mously.

Hon. W. McGill was proposed by D. Mutch, Esq., seconded by Hon. K. Hen- derson, supported by John Duffy, Esq., Dr. McKay, Nicholas Cousins, Esq., W. E. Clark, Esq., G. Howatt, Esq. Carried unanimously.

The following resolution was proposed by the Hon. Kenneth Henderson and seconded by Mr. D. Matheson :—

Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con- vention the policy of the MaKenzie Adminis- tration, during the past four years, has been such as to deserve the confidence of the elec- tors of the Island, and that wedo hereby pledge ourselves to do all in our power to pro- mote the election of two representatives from this County to support that Administration.

That any increase in the present Revenue Tariff for the purposes of Protection will ma- terially add to the taxes of the people of this Dominion, and clog and hamper its trade and commerce; and that the intreduction of a Re- taliatory Tariff against the United States would tend indefinitely to postpone that which we allso much desire—Reciprocal Free Trade with that great country, and consequently should meet with the determined opposition of every lover of his country.

Then followed a lively and interesting discussion, all present expressing them- selves as confident of success. The thanks of the meeting was then tendered the chairman, three cheers being heartily given for the candidates, and the meeting ad- journed.
