LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

—_— ~~» —

One-Sided.

Sir,—After publishing an notrathful, | anonymous attack on an innocent man, the | Editor of the Protestant Union has insulted | his Liberal Conservative subscribers as being unworthy of common justice and feir play, by refusing the following communi- cation, which, as you see, was given over my real pame. Suppression of the truth will not build up any tottering cause.

IT am yours truly, 8S. G. Lawson.

Refutation of Another Elder’s Statement.

—-—

To the Editor oe the Protestant Union.

* The lip of truth shall be established forever : 1X lying tongue is but for a moment,.”—PROY.,

Str,—In your last issue I am sorry to see a very dishonest and untruthful politi- cal comumnication written by ‘* Another Elder.” Untruth always curses the cause which it attempts to assist and promote, and he should have remembered this fact.

I was present in the Assembly Chamber when the occurrence so misrepresented took place. The Opposition were contend- ing that all the recent dispatches and cor- respondence about winter communication, were in their possession two days before the Government had them. Hon, Mr. Sullivan maintained that this was not so for several reasons he adduced, one of which was that what was published in the Patriot purporting to be the correspond-

presumed he wonld have published it, but was evidently the result of garbling and falsification of the original documents by the party in Ottawa sending the extracts to the Editor. The Opposition denied this statement. Mr. Sullivan still maintained his contention, showing how what appeared in the Patriot was garbled extracts which centained a paragraph that had the sen- tences previous to it, and the sentences following it, in the original document, dis- honestly left out purposely to make the garbled extract express tio opposite of the truth, “* And, surely,” said Mr, Sullivan, ‘this was done rom the original document in Ottawa, aud not here by the editor, Mr. Laird, who is an Elder, and therefore one from whom we would expect better. This falsification must have been done in Ottawa; and therefore you had not the whole document here, or the extracts would have been more honestly given. You had only the garbled extracts and not all the original.”

From the above it can be seen that Hon. Mr. Sullivan was compitmenting and giving credit to the Eidership for honesty, truth and fair dealing, instead of the opposite, as set forth by your zgalous political corres- pondent,

The following facts are also conclusive :

1. Hon, Mr. Sullivan is a prudent and cautions gentleman, wlio, as M. P. P., would not wantonly insult a large portion of his constituents, and as Leader, wouldn’t despise his friends in. the Legislature, as well as one-fourth of the population of the Island.

2. If nots guilty of dishonest misrepre- sentation and trickery, why did ‘‘Another Elder” take an assumed name as if ashamed of his own under the circumstances. We dare himto come out **to the light,” over his real name.

3. If Hon. Mr. Sullivan so insulted the Presbyterians, where were the Presbyte- rians in the Opposition that they did not resent the outrage—WMessre. Sinclair, Far- quharson, McFadyen, Matheson and D. C. Martin, besides those on the Government side of the House ?

It is ‘‘Another Elder” who is insulting Presbyterians, by pretending that the men-

tion of the word Elder is a disgrace to Presbyterians. Bad is a political cause

which requires lies to promote it ! Yours, &., S. G. Lawson. Ch’town, May 10, 1886.

Such a Speech !

Srr,—The Patriot's occasional corres- pondent at Ottawa, giver, as might be ex- pected from such a source, a grossly unfair account of the Debate that took place in the Commons on the 21st ult., with refer- ence to the running of the steamer North- ern Light. Hansard has since come to hand, and we find that Mr. Hackett made a capital speech on the occasion referred to, fully sustaining the reputation which he bears of being one of the clearest headed and most effective speakers in the House of McDonald is abused for

either, but then he is a Grit, and anything

not having spoken. Mr. Yeo didn’t speak that he does or does not do is all right. If Mr. McDonald had not ap opportunity of speaking, his colleague, Mr. Mcelntyre, had, and to quote the words of the corres- pondent, “Such a Speech!” Here is a sainple of it, taken from Hansard, or House of Commons Debates, Pourth Ses- sion, Fifth Parliament, 49 Vic. ‘‘ The frost which we had last winter was late (italics are ours) compared with that of former years. 1 have a distinct recollec- tion of the day the Northern Light came nto Souris for the purpose of being laid iup. There was not a particle of ice to be seen, even by the aid of a pret glass. There was a quantity of ice in the Gulf, as I was informed, but nothing to prevent the trips being made regularly. I do not find fault. with Captain Finlayson for obeying his orders. J believe any sensi! ble man would do what he has done.” (Neverthe- less Capt. Finlayscn, according to Mr, McIntyre's showing, ran into Souris when no ico was to be seen, and ieft there the worst, the stormiest day of the whole year.) ‘‘Last year, as we know, the Northern Light did not make any trip at all. She was laid up in the harbor of Georgetown, in the month of January, and she was un- able to get out, and so she did not make “|

trp at a. The Northern Light was

aiechily constructed for winter Shitiition,

and I believe if certain improvoments were cama in her, she would do all that could be required in that way. It is useless for us to get the Alert or auy other boat if she is not kept going in winter. It is quite as @asy to pilot the Alert to a wharf as the Northern Light. The trouble is not with

‘the boa‘ at all, but with the Department,

who have absolutely refuséd to keep the boat on her berth during the winter months,”

I intended to quote only a few sentences, but find that I have quoted nearly the entire

speech—for doing which, I feel sure your readers will forgive me, in view of—such a

speech ! March 11, 1886,

GORGETONIAN.

Declaration by Proxy.

Sir,—I wish to call attention to a matter in which voters under the new Franchise Act are interested, Many persons are un- der the impression that the declaration which accompanies av application to have a voters’ name added to the lists must be signed by the voter himself. Others hold that names .can be added by proxy. Our King’s County Revising Officer, I am told, accepted all the applications which were stbmitted to him by proxy. In over forty instances, the forms of application were the same as those used by regular appli- cants, with this important difference, the application and declaration were both made in the third, instead of the’ first person, and erasures and interliueations were made to suit. Objections to this mode of application were made at the Court; the Revising Officer took time to consider, and finally decided to let all such go on the list. The officer in Guer- tion, no doubt, considers himself correct in. this decision. I believe he is wrong.

If applications and declarations can both be made by proay, there is surely some particular form to be used. Ila the cases to which I have reference, Gril poli- ticians made the applications, They gave no information as‘to how they obtained a knowledge of the qualification of thé parties in whose interests they applied. They were not present at the Court at Georgetown at all, and consequently could not answer eny questions as to their sources of information. If this way of adding names (by proxy) is the correct way, then it is just as easy to get five hundred names on as fifty. All that is wanting are the names—and some- body to sign the declarations,

I believe that every man entitled to vote should have his name added to the voters’ lists with as few legal formalities as pos- sible. LIhold, at the ssme time, that no man has a right to add another man’s name to the list without his approval and consent, and without being prepared to prove on oath, to the satisfaction of the. presiding officer, that the party for whom he makes the application is duly qualified to vote under the Electoral Franchise Act.

Yours, FARMER. May 10, 1886.
