The Three-Stringed Fiddle. (Halifax Heratd.)
The orators and organs of the Grit party in Nova Scotia appear to have just three strings to their fiddle. They play on these | for all they are worth, but seem incapable of varying the monotony. These are :
1. That the government is going to be | defeated ;
2. That Sir John Macdonald and _ his party are responsible for the editorials in the Toronto Mail, and are thus a “No Popery” party;
And 3 that it is necessaty to put the Grits in power in order to stop what they call **boodling’—-that is members of par- liament and their personal friends o)tain- ing favors at the public expense.
A brief consideration of these three clanns for support--the whole Grit stock in trade-—will not therefore be out of place. | For, if these strings be broken, it appears } to us that all Grit inusic must cease.
First thenas to the prospect of the govern- ment being defeated. In the late house the government had a majority, counting the speaker, of about 76. Four new seats
Political
have been added in the Northwest,—which
are admitted by the opposition to be pretty | safe to return government supporters.
Here then we have a majority of 80) to overturn, before the Grits are even square with their opponents. Now we
do not belive there is a sane man in Can- ada, who has given the matter a moment of serious unbiassed consideration, who believes it is within the realm of possibility for the grits in the coming contest to make a net gain of half of 40 seats. They, them-~ selves, when asked to state specifically where they are going to obtain their major- ity, seldom pretend that they have very much to expect outside of Quebec and Nova Scotia. And at most they can do no better in Quebec than Mercier did in the local election, which would be a gain. of but 14 seats. This leaves them 26 seats to win in Nova Scotia in order to elect even half the house! But as there are only 16 seats for them to win, supposing them to capture all and lose none, they would still be ina minority of 20 when parliament assembled.
So that it is perfectly ridiculous, to sup- pose that it is possible, much less probable,
that the grits will do more than merely diminish Sir John's major- ity, if they even succeed in
doing that. No sober-minded grit in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto can be gat to say that he expects Mr. Blake to do more in the approaching election than add 40 per cent. tothe number of his support- ers inthe late house. And most of them would be mighty glad to be assured that he will do that. Many of them openly express their fears that he will do no better than he did in 1882-—-which they fear will haye the effect of driving him out of public life
The second string played on—that Sir John and his party are responsible for the present plattorm of the Toronto Mail—is too absurd to require serious reply. Hap- pily Bishop Cleary, the prelate who took the most active part of any, on behalf of Mr. Mowat in the late provincial elections, has settled that most effectually. His lord- ship, who resides in Kingston and has known Sir John intimately for the past thirty years, publicly declares his unabated confidence in Sir John, who, he says, has always been ‘‘ a good friend” of the Catho- lic people. Anyway, it ill becomes Alfred Jones and the Halifax Chroiicle to raise any such cry. Mr. Jones may forget, but the Catholic population of Halifax have not, that for five years he supported a govern- ment that contained as its Postmaster General a man who, while he was a cabinet minister, gave expressiou to precisely the same sentiments that the Toronto Mail is now expressing. Did Mr. Jones then show any resentment! Not at ail. His colleague, Mr. Power, protested. But it is not on record that Mr. Jones ever by word or deed did anything to show his disapprobation of Mr. Huntington’s ‘‘ No Popery” utteran- ces. The reason, as every one knew, was
that Mr. Jones was too busily engaged begging Post Office print- ing from Mr. Huntington for
his paper, to interest himself very much about Mr. Huntington’s views respecting the Catholic Church. In other words Mr. Jones was ‘‘hoodling” to the extent of some $10,009 a year, and Mr. Huntington was assisting him ; wherefore he bottled up his resentment till a more convenient season, which we suppose he now imagines has ar- rived. And as to the Halifax Chronicle, the least that paper has to say on that point subject the better for itself. No paper m Canada has gone further in that direction than the Halifax Chronicle. And no paper is more ready at all times to resort to that style of warfare. The best proof that there is no breach between Sir John and his Irish Catholic friends is found in the fact that in the lower provinces to-day leading Irish Catholics like Kennedy Burns, Hon. Mike Adams, Hon. John Costigan, Hon, J. 8. D. Thompson, Edward Hackett and M. B. Daly are candidates in the interest of the Conservative party, while in three provinces there is at present but two Irish Catholics nomir.ated in the Grit interest, neither one of whom has the slightest chance of being elected.
The third point is, however, the most grotesque of all. ‘‘Boodling” forsooth | if everthere was a period in a Canadian history when ‘‘boodling” was rampant, it was when the Grits were in power between 1873 and 1878. But the subject is too largé to be treated up on fully in this article. We need merely say however, that we in- tend to treat of it ere the contest is over, and we shall be under the painful necessity of showing the ‘‘koodling” opérations of certain Halifax Grits who are now amusing
