The

Speech at the Dinner Given by the Toronto Club.

Tue Cuter Justick proposed the health of His Excellency the Governor-General.

The toast was drunk with great enthusi- asm, and in response his Excellency spoke follows :

GENTLEMEN,—In rising to return you my heartfelt thanks fer the loyal and cordial manner in which you have received the toast of the health of the Queen’s Represen- tative, I thank my learned and honorable friend on my left for the manner in which he has proposed that toast, and you gentle- men, for the way in which you have been good enough to receive it. I knew that ina Canadian company that toast would be re- ceived with all honors, because I believe there is no nation in this world which has more profound love for its sovereign than the Canadian people. (Lond cheers.) With reference to the Prince of Wales, to whose visit you have made allusion, | know he was delighted as also was the Duke of Con- naught, with the visit they paid to Canada, and they have both expressed a contident hope that during my term of office they may re-visit Canadian soil. (Loud cheering. With regard to ourselves versonally, I shall accept with gratitude everything that has fallen to-night from your eloquent lips, sir, with regard to the Princess, my wife. (Great cheering) But as for myself. I must demur to the excessive kindness of your expressions, and although it may be a bold opinion for a lay man to lay down in the presence of so many distinguished in the law, I believe my learned friend has al- most for the first time-—and I hope for the last—in his life departed from that attitude of strict impartiality which it is his duty, as well as my own, to maintain. (Great laughter and cheering.) I havea theory on the subject, of which I will let you into the secret. . My honorable friend has confided to me that it was his painful duty to make some very severe observations from the Beneh to-day. I think that it may be possibly owing to a natural reaction of feel- ing that he has found it almost obligatory td make some observations in my favor to- night, almost too kind. (Loud laughter.) We have been delighted with the reception we have: met with in Toronto, and 1 must say that it has been a matter of good for- tune in my opinion that we have been able to visit this great city at atime when its citizens are occupied with the great show which is being held within a short distance of its walls, and which is a most remark- able exhibition to have been set on foot and carried out by any city. (Cheers.) And in a few days we shall not only have had the pleasure of inspecting the exhibits, but of seeing some of the live stock which is now enjoying such favor not only in Canada, but also, luckily for Europe, over the water. That examination will be for me of one of peculiar interest. 1 look for- ward to that trade developing a new and— as I trust it will be—a permanent source of revenue to this country. (Cheers.) I see you have Landseer’s pictures of ‘‘Peace and War’ upon your walls. I know of ne more striking contrast that can be seen between peace and war than at Quebec, for instance, where under the frowning guns of that mag- nificent fortress the air is daily fuil of the lowing of cattle and bleating of sheep, and vast numbers are to be seen being embarked upon the large and fine vessels of the Allan Liné for transport to Europe. (Cheers.) We may congratulate Canada not only that she has begun that trade, but that she has done so in so energetic a fashion, that though the shippers expected there would be but little shipping done this year, the trade has been carried on with increasing volume throughout the autumn, and de- pend upon it it will bring you good return, not only to the farmers already here, but by bringing more people to Canada. These people are the class you want, and I believe that for every few hundred cattle or sheep you send to Liverpool, you have every pros- pect of getting in exchange a stout English farmer. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I hardly expected thet upon this, my first official visit, I should have had the opper- tunity of expresing my gratitude to the Toronto Club for entertaining me in so friendly a fashion at so pleasant a banquet. In meeting you herefto-night I feel I am in the presence of a representative assembly of those who lead the intellectual and com- mercial life of this city, one of the greatest already, and atthe same time one of the most promising, not only in the Do-

minion, but on the American Con- tinent. Before you, then, gentlemen, I wish L[ could find words warm

enough to give you an idea of the manner in which we have been touched by the efforts made in our behalf by the citizins of Toronto. It would not be reasonable to seek any justification of such kind feeling, but, at all events, {[ can say to you that, if a hearty and earnest in- terest in every phase of your national life can be taken as any excuse for such wel- come, this justification, at all events, exists to the full. (Loud and prolonged cheering. ) In one sense, also, I am no stranger to yeur affairs, for I do not feel that in studying Canada I have embarked on a sea hitherto unknown to me. It is not only since my arrival here that I have watched with un- flagging enthusiasm the current of events which is so surely leading this country to the full enjoyment of a great inheritance, for, long before we landed on your shores, much of your history and of your present

Governor-General at Toronto. condition was well known to me. A brief

visit, paid many years ago, could give me but little real insight into your condition, but every man in England, who has had anything to do with public life has, since the Confederation of the British North American Provinces,considered his political studies as wholly wanting, if a pretty thor- ough knowledge of your resources and po- sition were not included in his survey of the Empire (Cheers.) Confederation has had this advantage, that your destinies have been presided over by men who had weight and authority at home, and who were able to put before the English people, in attractive form, the resources of this country. And especially was this the case during the six and a half years Lord Dnf- ferin has been in this country; for his speeches, given in so poetical a form, and with such mastery of diction and such a grasp of comprehension of your material and political condition, were universally read and univetsally admired. (Loud Cheers.) Perhaps in former days, and be- fore the country had become one, so much attention would not have been given to your affairs, but since Confederation, we all know in England —every poli- tician in England knows that he is not to consider this country as a small group of disunited Colonies, but as a great and con- solidated people, growing in importance not only year by year but hour by hour. (Great cheering.) You now form a people before whom the Colonial Office and Foreign Office alike are desirous to act with the ut- most strength of the Empire in forwarding your interests; and in speaking through the Imperial Foreign Office it is impossible that you should not remember that 1t is not only the voice of two, three, or four or five mil- lions, as the case may be, but the voice of a nation of over forty millions. (Great cheer- ing. AsI said before, I believe that in former days perhaps the interest was not 80 lively, although perhaps it would be unjust to say that too strongly, because within the last few months we have had an example of how willing Great Britain is to undertake war and expenditure for colonies by no means as united or as important as Canada.

(Prolonged cheers.) But the feeling with”

regard to Canada as a mere congeries, of colonies, and ‘Canada as one pr ople and gov- ernment, may perhaps be com to the to the different feelings that a ninther ma be suppesed to have in the ion’ with whic she may rd a nursery full of small in-

fants,and the far different pride with which

she looks upon the career and stature of her grown up and eldest son. (Laughter

and cheers.) To be sure, as itis with all

sons and all mothers, little passing and temporary misconceptions may occasionally oceur, and which only show how deep in reality is their mutual love. (Laughter.) The mother may sometimes think it sad that her child has forgotten some little teaching learnt on her knee, and that one or two of the son’s opinions smack of foreign notions—she may think that some of his doings tend not only to injure her, but himself also and the world at large. (Great laughter.) Per- haps, sometimes, he thinks on his part, that it is a pity old pecple cannot put them- selves in the place of younger natures, (Uproarious laughter.) But if such is the tenor of the thought which may sometimes occupy the mother and the child. Let no one dream for a moment that their affection has become less deep, or that true loyalty of nature is less felt. (Loud cheering.) They are one in heart and mind; they wish to remain so, and shal;l and I should like to see the man who would dare to come between them. (Tremendous cheering:) In saying this, gentlemen, I express what may be regarded as my first impressions of the feelings which animate you, and | be- lieve that when I leave you my last im- pressions will be identical. (Loud cheer- ing.) And now, gentlemen, the topics on which a governor-general may speak with- out offence are somewhat limited (laughter) although he is expected to be the advertiser- general of one of the largest countries in the world—(great laughter and applause)— an empire so large that the study of its pro-

portions is, I think, much more like the

study of astronomy than the study of geo- graphy. (Laughter and applause.) It is perhaps best that he should speak on gen- eralities; but in making my first appear- ance among you I may be expected to record other general impressions. I may perhaps be permitted to mention a subject which is generally understood as giving a good opening for conversational acquaint- ance, and likely to lead to no serious differ- ence of opinion, namely, the subject of the weather. (Roars of laughter.) 1 can now speak with some authority upon that mo- mentous topic—(laughter)—because I have now spent a winter, a spring, a summer, and part of an autumn in Canada, and I believe that any one who has had a similar experience with me will that the seasons and climate enjoyed here are singularly pleasant and _ salubrious. (Cheers.) You have, gentlemen, real seas- ons—there is a real winter and a sum- mer. (Loud laughter.) You are not troubled with shams in that respect— (laughter)— no shoddy manufactures of that nature are imported over here from Europe, where winter is often like a raw summer, and summer like a wet winter. How different has been the reality ef your winter, for as an old woman once wrote home to her friends in Scotland, ‘‘All the children here may run about in the snow without wetting their feet.” (Great laugh- ter and cheers.) We have only to look at that column on which a splendid bunch of peaches is hanging to see a trophy which
