, «nm an exceedingly

' er of electors—a suffi- cient :. aave changed the result— were deprived of the exercise of the inesti mable and inalienable right and privilege of the franchise.

(2) In King’s County, a man ineligible to sit or vote in the House of Commons, was, to serve the purpose of a Party in a desperate strait for pupular candidates ‘who would take the vote,’ placed in the field; ani on the principle that ‘‘it is the unexpected which happens,’ has actually received a majority of votes,

On the first pomt

It seems never to have entered the mind: of those who inspire the organs that, in de- priving the electors of Eldon and other polling divisions of their votes, a great wrong has been done. They profess to be Liberals ; yet they have no word of regret, or sympathy, or protest, when free-borp men, desiring to exercise the right of the free franchise which Liberalism gave them, are compelled to leave the p lis without deopping their ballots into the box !

They are, however, very solicitous about Mr. Returning Officer Callbeck, and are eagerly defending him from the charge of partisanship.

An impartial man would probably think it high time to defead Mr. Callbeck when Mr. Calibeck was attacked. Mr. Calibeck has not been attacked. No one has charged the want of ballot papers upon Mr. Call- beck’s partisanship. Mr. Callbeck was, befor. the contest; and during the contest, and after the contest, regarded as an hon- orable man, and treated with the consider- ation and respect due to his high position. In 1873, when the Grits were misgoverning the country, the late W. R. Watson, one of the most upright men who ever lived in Charlottetown, was High Sheriff of Queen’s County; but he was thrust aside as unworthy of the trust and a prominent member of the Grit Party was appointed Returning Officer for the County. The Liberal-Conservatives have been kinder to Mr. Callbeck. Though he

has consistently been a thick and thin

supporter of the Opposition Party, the Government reposed confidence in his integrity, they entrus'ed him wich the duty of managing the election, and though a blunder has evidently been committed— @ blunder which has lost the Government an able supporter in the House of Com- mons, and giyen them instead an active and most unscrupulous opponent—we have not yet seep in the Government Press, er heard elsewhere, the slightest reflection upon Mr. Calibeck’s integrity. The ela borate defence of Mc. Callbeck is, there- fore, quite unnecessary, and not a little invidious.

So, also, is the contemptibly mean—and false as mean—charge that the want of suf- ficient ballot papers is due to the Local Government. The Local Government had nothing whatever to do with the Dominion election. They abolished, it is true, the Registration and Ballot Act passed by the late administration, because the working of that act was found to be, both directly and indirectly, unnecessarily expensive to this Province, and beeause it was the will of the people that it shoald be repealed; but, in the poll books of the late localfelection, they placed within reach of the Returning Officer a list of voters almost as full and complete as it could possibly be made under that most expensive system of registration, Instead, therefore, of being held respon- sible for the bluuder by which many elec tors were deprived of their votes, the Local Government should receive credit for havy- ing, without a dollar of expense to the country, afforded a sure means of avoiding the blender jnto which the Returning Otticer borkills accidentally —fell.

It is not for the Press to enquire into the cause of the-blunder—whether or not it |

was due to the partisanship of Mr. Callbeck or his Depnty, or toa mere accident, or tu a too firm belief in the Patriot’s false state- ments about ‘‘the great exodus,” or Mr, Davies’ account of ‘‘ the grass widows” he saw lining the roads of the country ?

These questions ara beside the point— which is that a number of electors have heen disfranchised, and that a wrong has been done.

To this point the eyes of all true Liberals will bs turned ; and a truly Liberal Press will demand that the wrong be righted.

On the second point. Again, the opposi- tion seem to be blind to the main—the important—question : Is Dr. Robertson under our laws, eligible for election as a member of the House of Commons ?

If he is eligible, nothing that the High | Sher.ff of King’s Coanty has done aaa prevent lia from taking his seat. Why, } then, waste time and valuable words in | hurling phillipics azainst Mr. McCornack 2 |

In his conrt on Declaration Day, Mr. | McCormack heard certain statements, sub | stantiated by documentary evidence under | the hand of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and the Provincial Secretary; and he chose simply to make areturn of the facts as stated. In our opinion he adopted | a most judicioustcourse. For if Dr Robert- | son's election be (as it is) “null and void, ° | Mr. McUormack might fairly be censured — ye proceeded against—for returning |

tm; and if on the other band the Return. | ing Officer had followed the advice of Mr. | Hodgson, and returaed Mr. A. ©. Mac. |

and those w

dilemma.

Respecting the elivibility of Dr. Robert- son to be elected and duiy returned a mem- | ber of the Dominion House of Commons, the Summerside Journal is, perhaps, the most foreible—-and, perhaps, the best in- formed ex] onent of the views of most of the Grits.

According to this great, constitutional ligh. it is impossible for any man “ although duly elected a member of the Honse of Assembly, and so declared, to resign as such until he shal] have first appeare 1 there, and formerly been installed into his

eat;’ . . . . ** The mere declaration the Sheriff of John Smith’s election to a in the House of Assembly does not bim a member, but the writ under ‘ewas elected must be returned to nment on jth July next, and a .ession walled, and the members elect installed into their seats before they can resign them to either their Speaker or the to the Lieutenant Governor ;’ o> es ‘Even Dr. Robertson cannot resign a seat into which he has not been installed, and neither can he do so until the Writs being returned, the Government notifies him of his election.”

To this twaddie it is simply necessary to remark,

1. The Writ of Election under which Dr. Robertson waselected was returned on 27th May last, and notification thereof published in the succeeding issue of the Roval Gazette.

2 Mr. L. H. Davies has, at least twice publicly stated that Dr. Robertson did resign his seat, according to a form drafted by Mr. Davies; and Dr. Robertson himeelf, informs us that his resignation was directed aud deliveied to Dr. McLaren and Malcolm MicFadyen, two Members of the House of Assembly.

3. 1t was not competent for Dr. Robert- +On to resign at the time he did, as the 14th Section of the Act further securing the independence of the G.neral Assembly, enacts that ‘‘no member shall so tender hi: resignation until after the expiration of the time during which it may. by law, be con- tested on other grounds than corruption or bribery.” The time referred to did no expire until the 21st June ultimo, or one

| day after the election for the House of

Commons.

This, we think, proves conclusively that upon the days of ‘nomination and election for the House of Commons, Dr. Robertson was a member of the House of Assembly of this Province, and consequently ineligibl: to be elected a member of the House ot Commons.

There is evidently a difference of opinion between Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., Q. C., &e., &c., and the editor of the Jowrnal, as to what constitutes a man a member of the Honse of Assembly. It was unpardonable in Mr. Davies not to have known better than he did, and exceedingly negli- gent on his part not to have consulted the Editor of the Journal, and thus have saved all this uncertainty and trouble. We com- mend the opinions of the Editor of the Journal to the earnest consideration of Sir Erstine May, and Alpheus Todd, Esq, eminent constitutional! authorities.
