LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTION. Liberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONCWORTH, ESQ.

a eee

Toe Datty EXAMINER,

a

: OCTOBER 12, 1875.

The

Coming Contest in the City.

Ir the approaching contest in Charlotte- town were merely an ordinary ‘‘ Legisla- tive Council Election,” it would not be necessary—as it certainly is necessary—to defeat the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd. Mr. Dodd has been a model Legislative Coun- cillor. He has done no good. He has done no harm. And he has cost the coun- try between two and three hundred dollars a year !

But the approaching contest in Charlotte- town is not an ordinary Legislative Council Election. It is a struggle for the life or death of the obnoxious Local Government. On the 12th day of September last the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd allied himself with Messrs. Davies and Stewart, and was ap- pointed a member of the Executive Council and Provincial Secretary-Treasurer. On that {day he took upon himself all the offences of which the Local Government stand charged by the people of Prince Edward Island ; and on that day his for- mer election became “‘ null and void,” and his seat in the Legislative Council became empty and vacant. (Vide Indepemdrice of Parliament Act, 1876, sec. 8.)

The fact is denied by the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd and his friends. Mr. Dodd has issued a ‘‘ card,” in which he says, ‘‘ my seat has become vacant by lapse of time.” But the truth is that, had not Mr. Dodd’s election become ‘‘ null and void,” his term as Legislative Councillor would not have lapsed until the third of December— within twenty days of which the law speci- fies that a general Legislative Council elec- tion may be held. To prove this fact be- yond a doubt, we have only to quote the Writ—issued by Mr. Dodd himself—re- quiring the High Sheriff to give notice of an election ; and to make the fact more clear we quote Mr. Dodd’s Writ to the Sheriff in juxtaposition with Mr. Dodd’s Circular to the Electors :—

Tuomas W. Door. jqhie Thomas Walker

Dodd, WHO HAS AC- CEPTED THEOFFCE OF PROVINCIAL SECRETARY AND TREASURER OF THE SAID PROV- INCE, AND WHOSE SEAT HAS BECOME VACANT BY LAW,” etc., etc.

tf Mr. Dodd had been frank and in- genous towards the electors of Charlotte- town, his Circular to them would have been to the following effect :—

CHARLOTTETOWN, Sept. 28, 1878.

Sin,---Six years ago I had the honor of being elected torepresent Charlottetown and Royalty in the Legislative Council. My seat is not yet vacated by the lapse of time. I have accepted the office of Provincial Secretary and Treasurer; and, according to law, my election is null and void. I have, therefore, again to solicit your suffrager. As the Government have deemed it inexpedient to have two elections following close upon each other, the election will not take place until the fourteenth of Novembr by which time the law will permit Legislativ: Council elections to be held throughout ¢°. entire Province. You will, therefore, have ample time to criticise my acts as your re- presentative. By accepting office I have en- dorsed every measure of the present Adminis- tration.

I have the honor to be, etc., etc., etc.,

It is clear, then, that on the 12th of Sep- tember -the day on which Mr. Dodd took office—Mr. Dodd's seat was not vacant by the lapse of time ; and that Mr. Dodd is obliged to appeal to his constituents by reason of his acceptance of a seat in the Government.

But there is another graver reason why Mr. Dodd is obliged to appeal to his consti- tuents. Mr. Dodd has violated the plain letter of the law for securing the Indepen-

Ne ee

re ee eee

denco of Parliament; and he has there- by forfeited his seat. The law reads :—

‘‘No person whosoever holding or enjoying, undertaking or executing directly or indirectly alone or with any other, by himself or by the interposition of any trustee or third party any contract or agreement with Her Majesty, 0” with any public officer or department, with res- pect to the public service of the Province ol Prince Edward Island, or under which any public money of the Province of Prince Edware Island is to be paid for any service or worw OF who shall become surety for the same, shall bi eligible asa member for either the Legislativ Council or of the House of Assembly, nor shall he sit or yote in the same respectively : Pro- vided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to apply to ary person holding a share in any incorporated company.

firm which has contracted with the Gov- ernment for the supply of glass, register grates and many other articles for the new lunatic asylum ; and, if we are not misin- formed, he has received large sums of pub- lic money by the supply of hardware to the Government. He now therefore presents himself to the electors of Charlottetown as a violator of the law which he, himself, helped to make.

Under these circumstances the duty of the electors of Charlottetown is quite plain. Their duty is to transfer their confidence from the Hon. Mr. Dodd—who has issued a disingenuous card, who has endorsed the rash acts of the present administration, who has violated the law of the land, who stands to-day the sole remaining prop of a hated government—to one of the oldest and worthiest of their fellow-citizens, viz., Henry Loneworta, Esa.

That Glass.

Ir gives us great pleasure to note that the Patriot does not renew, against THE ExAMINER,its wild charges of falsehood and of traducing the Hon. Mr. Dodd. It is evident that the Patriot is, at last, impress- ed with the axiom, that ‘‘ people in glass houses should not throw stones.”

The gist of the Patriot’s article is, that Mr. Chance cheated Messrs. Dodd & Rogers. and that the Government knew nothing whatever of the matter. We sincerely trust that this is the right solution of the glass question. It is painful to think that any one on the Island could be mixed up in a transaction in which a superior article was bargained for, and an inferior article supplied.

Before saying more about it, we should like to know whether or not any of ‘* Chance’s No. 1 glass (as per tender) is available?’ And if not, whether or not it can be obtained in time for use before the winter sets in.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT.

Sir Joun McDonatp, Dr. Tupper and Mr. Tilley are engaged in the formation of anew Cabinet. The result of their labors will probably be known in the course of a few days.

This is the way the Ottawa Herald (Liberal) speaks of the late government:—

“The policy of the late government has been singularly disastrous to those who supported it, and it would be vain to at- tempt concealing the fact that the Liberal ministry retires without even ashare atof th sympathy which, in most cases, accom- panies men in their position. The feeling that they have misused their opportunities, neglected their friends, crouched to their enemies, succumbed to their own timidity, is felt throughout the land. As leaders they have failed to satisfy those who placed them in power. No doubt they tried to be as honest as men in their peculiar position could be, but the Nemesis of the Pacific scandal wreaked its revenge upon them for the manner in which it had been discovered. The Reform party had long been divorced from office. Their leaders had no sins of administration to answer for, yet, in five years, by pursuing a policy of masterly in- activity, they have fallen from power and place, simply by their inability to control the forces at their disposal. Of course the long continued commercial depression had its effect upon them; but the people lost heart and confidence at the unvaried croak- ing which was the distinguishing feature of Mr. Cartwright’s budget speeches. It was bad policy to rob the people of hope. Even at the worst of times the human mind takes comfort from the thought that there are brighter days in store. Mr. Cartwright never held out the slightest glimmer of a brighter future. At last the people got tired of the raven and his eternal ‘‘neyer- more” aud when the opportunity came sent him packing after

- his unhappy master Whom unmerciful disaster Followed fast, and followed faster,”

till the general elections sealed his doom.

During their administration the Liberal Government has enacted some good and some questionable legislation. On the whole the balance is in their favor. Like the peas in the pod, as Hans Christian An- dersen tells, they looked around and all within their little pod was n and flourishing, so they thought all the world was in the same happy condition. The little ministerial pod, however, has burst, and the cabinet peas are learning that things are by no means what they, in their innocence, imagined.”

Hiarl Dufferin’s Reply to Roman Catholic Ecclesiastics.

The following is the Governor General’s reply to the address presented hin by the Archbishop and Bishops of the ecclesiastical Province of Toronto during His Excel- leney’s recent visit to Ottawa:—

“Your Grace and My Lords—I{ can as- sure you it is with feelings of the very deepest satisfaction that I acknowledge the address with which you have honored me. Iam well aware that throughout Canada there does not exist a more patriotic body, one more devoted to the interests of the country, or more attached to the Empire of Great Britian, than that great ecclesiastical community over which you preside as its spiritual pastors, and I rejoice to think that under your advice and guidance it should be so ready, as on all occasions I have found it, to acknowledge the justice and benignity of Her Majesty’s rule in Canada. That personages in your exalted position should address me personally in such flatter- ing terms is very gratifying to my feelings, and I shall ever retain the mest grateful recollection of the courtsey I have always received at the hands of the Catholic Hierarchy of Canada. I shall have great pleasure in conveying to Her Majesty the sentiments of loyalty to her throne and affection for her person you have requested me to repeat in your behalf. In leaving Canada I carry away with me an increased appreciation of what can be done to super- induce a sentiment of good will and content amongst a population composed of different religious convictions, by the administration of equal laws and an impartial justice.”

The address was signed by Archbishop Lynch and the Bishops of London, Kings- ton, Hamilton and Surepta.

Indian Outrages.

A FEARFUL STORY OF BLOOD AND RAPINE,

—

A Kansas city despatch says: The In- dians crossed the Kansas Pacific road Tues- ( day, and, proceeding north, sacked the Post Office, but Bayless, the Postmaster, escaped. They then went in a north- easterly direction and killed every person and sacked everything in their way. Near Beacon Creek they attacked a ranch owned by Thomas Lynch, who fled to a dug-out with his wife and two children. The In- dians came up, but Lynch killed two with a revolver, and the rest fled. On Sappa Creek the demons came suddenly upon the house of H. Long, and, after killing the father and two sons, outraged the mother and two daughters; then saturating the house with kerosene, set it on fire. The two little daughters were only eleven and thirteen years of age, and are now in a state of semi-madness, all of them escaping from the burning building after the red devils left. Just north of Long’s place, Kate Abernathy, a school teacher, was also ravished and murdered. Seventeen dead bodies were gathered up by the settlers and buried at Bowden, all of whom were known, besides nine unknown and unrecognized ones. Until after the In- dians passed Beaver Creek, they killed men, women, children’ and stock with guns; but after leaving that stream they wereevidently short of ammuni- tion, and used axes to kill in nearly every instance, crushing faces and skulls and mu- tilating bodies in the most barbarous man- ner. Among those known to have been killed where Mr. Humphrey,from Illionis, Geo. Smith, H. Long and two sons, H. Hudson, D. Westfall and two sons, George Evans, Henry Abernathy, Mrs. Westfall, (outraged and terribly wounded), Frank Lull, Frederick Walters, ranchmen from New York, R. Kelly, Theodore Young, and eight children found strewn along the prairies with brains beaten out. The situa tion is frightful; but the Indians have now left the State and the people will now re- turn to their homes. During all this time the troops were only a few hours in the rear, and the stockmen and settlers are very severe in their denunciation of the way they were handled. One one occasion about 200 soldiers came up with the Indi- ans, but neglected to engage them, giving as an excuse that the soldiers were tired out and needed rest. General Jeff C. Davis had his headquarters at Wallace, but did not take the field in person, and Gen- eral Pope, department commander, seemed to have little knowledge of the state of affairs, as he telegraphed on the day the men were ki south of Buffalo, that “there was not an Indian in Kansas,”
