He saddled a heavy tax upon the people, ran the Pro- vince into debt, and did not get the amount of this Province’s share of the Fishery Award—which he pledged himself to obtain first the House of Commons !

Who Will Be Leader?

Srr,—In the Patriot of the 16th inst., I n ticed an editurial saying that the Hon. Joho Yeo was Leader of the Opposition, and would be Leader, shortly, of the Gov- ernment. Mr. John Yeo said at the meet- ing in leverness, Lot 11, that he did not think that he would lead the Liberals, even if they were returned to power. So, sir, it appears that they are of different opinions in the L:beral ranks. The Hon.John, althougb a good canvasser, does not feel that he has ability enough to lead a government ; but in fact he need not be uneasy, as the intel- ligent electurs that returned the Sullivan Guvernment at three exections will return the MeLecd Government this time.

The McLean Mystery

Evidence at the Investigation.

Tue investigation into the mysterious disappearanceof Art. McLean was continued

at Summerside on Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. The assertion previous ly made that Mr. Daniel Noonan is under arrest in connection with thé matter, is in- correct. It is upon the strength of the state- ment made by the missing man’s brother that the investigation is being held, Below is a summary of the evidence: -

Grorok Murrarr (sworn.) I knew Me- Lean. 1 saw him on Saturday, 11th inst. He was in my store. He bought some oys- ters. He got nothing else at my place, He and Mont. Farrow ate oysters together.

He wore a muus- tache, light brown melton overcoat, broad striped pants, and Persian lamb cap. I did not know that he was missing till 9 30 on Cuesday morning. I paid him four dollars

on Saturday night. I heard that he went home and gave his wife $2. He earnd

about $6 per week. He paid $5 per montu house rent. Ithink that $4 was all the money he had. He was not a drinking man to my knowledge. He worked stcad), His wife told me he was never away but one vight before. She also said that some- times he might be pretty full of liquor, yet he always retained his senses.

W. G. Cusuine (sworn).—I saw McLean in Jerry Noonan’s shop on Saturday even- ing, 11th inst, about 8.30, and again at 9 or

10. Idon’t know if he was there when I[ left. He was not drunk when I saw him. I was in Noonan’s front room. I did not

see McLean there. Murdock Matheson, Peter Kenny, Os. Tamlin, John Gardiner, Robert Sharp, Dave Lefurgey, Kelly, and James Linkletter were there.

I heard on Monday that the man was missing. Dan Novnan spoke to me about the matter. He told me they found McLean out in the yard and put him in the stable. He did not say if he was drunk. He said they took him out of the stable into the house and put him to bed. He did not tell me he got up and went to the nursery. William Nvonan told me on Monday about the man; how they found him in the yard and took him in and let him out at four o’clock in the morning.

Perer Kennyy (sworn)—I knew Art. Me- Lean. 1 saw him on Saturday evening at Jerry Nvonan’s store. I did not see him come in. I don’t think he was sober; but could not say be was drunk. I think he was pretty well set up. I had seen him like that before. I left him there when I went out at 920. [heard he was missing on Monday morning. Noonan told me he was charged with murdering him. Noonan aud Sherry both told me about McLean being found in the yard drunk, taken to the stable by Sherry and afterwards taken vo the house and taken up stairs to bed ; how hé got up in the night and went into .he nursery and that Noonan came down and told him not to make a nvise in the house, as Wellas how Sherry took him down stairs and Jet him out the back door.

Sherry tuld me the day before yesterday that McLean was found in the yard, and put to bed, and that Noonan prevented him going into the nursery, and that he put him vut the back door.

Perer Kenny (re-called) I saw McLean in Jerry Noonan’s shop about 9 o’clock. He said to me, **Get up on the counter.” Frank Kelly, Dave Lefurgey and others were there. McLean saidto me, ‘* Give Kelly a boot and I'll set up the beer.”

Jerry and Pete Kenny were behind the bar. They said it would be fun to tell Sherry that McLean was miss- ing. I teld my mother and Martin MeDon- ald that McLean got his fingers jammed in the door.

I told Mr. Stewart he left at 12 o’clock, but I had not asked my tather what time he left when I saw Stewart first. On Tues- day I spoke to my father about it. I told him McLean had not turned up yet. He said 1t was very strange. The next day we were talking about it. He teld me that when Sherry went out to feed his horse he found McLean in the yard, and that he went up to Will’s room and asked him what he would do with him. Will told him to put him in the stable. After that he went and told father about it. He had, him taken in the house and put to bed. [| think he said he could help himself. They led him on the bed and took off his boots, therry went back to his reom and he was getting under the clothes. He said Kate went up to father’s room afterwards and toi\d him that there was a man in the nursery. Father came down. He did not mention light. He said that McLean was at Nancy’s door The door was partly open. He had his hand in the’ crack of the door. He said ‘* Be off, you rascal,” and that the girls heard the clock strike four. He wanted him to gu back to his room. John Sherry came in. He told

Sherry to pvt him out. He thought he was able to take care of himself. Sherry

and McLean went down stairs together. | don’t remember McLean showing me a ring on Saturday night. I don’t remember any conversation with him. Investigation adjourned. The proceedings at Monday evening's investigation will appear in our next issue.

To the Electers of Char- lotietown, Common and Royalty.

{ ENTLEMEN,—Thanking you for the liberal support you have given me in the last three General Elections, and having again been nominated a candidate for the ‘epresentation of your interests in the House of Assembly, I now seek your suffrages. After the pronotion of the Hon. W. W, Sulivan to a seat on the Supreme Court Bench of Province, His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor entrusted me with the formation of a Government. Having accomplished the formation of a Government, it was deemed proper, in view of the number of partial elections »equired to be held in consequence of the vacancies created and the nearness of the completion of the term of the present Parliament, to consult the elec'ors by means of a General Election before entering on new legislation.

Agriculture being the main industry of the Province, measures will be adopted which will best render the labor of the husbandman remunerative, by increasing the aid given to the Annuai Exhibitions, by the importation of improved stock, and by providing instruction on Agricuitural Chemistry and a course of popular lectures on agricultural subjects.

this

In order to give greater shipping facilities, and until the Dominion Government shall have taken over all the wharves that became the property of the Dominion Government at the time of Confederation, it is our policy to keep in repair such of them as are essential to the trade of the locality where they are respectively built. : :

As in the past, our policy is to vigorously press to a settlenent our claims against the Federal Government.

Rigorous economy wil] be practiced in the expenditure of public money, while at the saine time liberal provision will be made for the public service.

Pending the adjustment of our claims against the Federal Government, our annual resources may not be sufficient to carry out the proposals indicated, and at the same time provide for the large expenditure required for our edaca- tivnal system. In that case, such measuies to supplement our revenue will be adopted as wiil bear the least heavily on the people, and will at the same time be just and equitable. Changes will be made in the pubiie service in o'der to secure efficiency and greater security to the public interests.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant,

NEIL McLEOD., jani3
