And Held Large Gathering in the Lyceum
The Political Questions of the Day are Discussed by Horace A
Haszard and Other Prem- inent Liberals.
A large and enyhueiastgs meeting of the
Young Liberals of Charlottetown was held last night in the Lyceum Hall. The chair was occupied by Mayor Warburton
and on the platform were a number of prominent Liberal gentlemen.
Short speeches were given by Dr.
Douglas. Hunter River and Capt Joseph Rea 1, Snmmerside.The former prophesied an increased Liberdl majority in the New London District and the latter discussed the increased Dominion revenue, the G. T. P. and the entrance of Newfoundland into the Dominion.
Horace Huszard, the Liberal Candidate,
after referring briedy to some of the questions of the day discussed the great increase in the revenue of the Dominion in the dllerent departments of the Federal Government. Be urged that every effort he used to pile up a great Liberal majority. He had just returned today from the country and was con- vinced if the city did as well a great
victory would result. He urged tha`
every Liberal do what he can for “aloe- tlons are won by work not by talking."
D. A. McKinnon, M. P., followed. He'
showed the folly cf Mr. McLean's opposi- tion at the present time. By the G. T. P., the laboring mac would be greatly assist- ed.imrnlgrants are flocking to Canada and if adequate transportation of their pro- ducts io the coast is furnished immigra- tion will increase. The Conservatives wish to divert attention from the practi- cal problems of the day. Mr. McKinnon dealt with the unexarnpled pros- perity in Canada and said even the reduction in postage from three to two cents saved P. E, I. $20,000 yearly. He outlined what the Government had .lone for P. E. I., spoke ofthe assistance Mr. Hansard would bein the settlement ofthe telegraphio grievance as in other questions and closed with a strong plea for his handsome election.
Premier Peters wanted to talk practical
politics. He was is Liberal because he believed in Liberal principles and for what the Liberals have done for us. Wonderful things had _been done for us by the Fr-,flerui Government. The Con- servatives hnd never pr-es~ed our claims to an issue. The G. T. P. is an enormous undertaking but it will he a great thing for Canada. He appealed to all the elec- tors to support Mr. Haszard and return him with a big maiority, and closed with a stirringeulogy of Sir \Vi1frid and French Canadian loyalty.
Hon. J. F. Whear thanked the electors
for their pnst support. He showed oleariy by statistics the enormous strides that Canada had made during the past seven years. Dedclls had been reduced to sur- plusis and increased cxpenditwe has resulted In greatly increased revenue.
Mayor Warburton was the last speak~~r.
He briefly outlined the high place Canada now has among the English people and the admiration with which they regard Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
The meeting closed with rousing cheers for Mr. Hasz rrd and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

insurance Company .Held Annual Meeting
inthe Boa'rd sf Trade Room Last Night-Notwithstanding Heavy Losses the Year a Successful One.
Till Charlottetown Mutual Fire Insur'
ance Co. bold their annual meeting in the Board of Trade Rooms at eight o'clock
last night. Annmber of the prominent shareholders were present.
Notwithstanding the fast that the Fire
losses last year were the largest in the history of the company all expressed themselves as well satis- faction with the business done and the present financial standing of the Institut- ion. ‘ Considerable discussion took place res- pecting the amount of taxation imposed on the Company by the City and the Local Government.
George E. Hughes and others pointed
out the fact that as this wssa purely mutual company holding no real estate and paying no dividends it was un- just and unfair that it should be taxed. A resolution was adopted requesting the
pany from taxation in the future.
The following was moved by Geo. E. Hughes and seconded by D. L. Hoop- erz- Resolved that this meeting of the Charlottetown Mutual Fire Insur- ance Co. place on record its appreciation of the valuable services rendered this Company by the late lamented Pre- sident. the Hon. Donald Farquharson whose careful management and cou- stant attention to the business of the Company contributed so largely to its success. We respectfully tender his bereaved family our sincere sympathy in their sore bereavement.
The following are the Board of Direc-
tors elected for the current year: Messrs. Robert Fennell. Geo. E. Hughes, A. D. Martin, John Gillis, D. L. Hooper, W. M. Catlin. Geo. Coombs. Robert Fennell was elected President.
