‘Large Meeting at Blosmield. UPPER PROVINCES

More Grit Rowdyism.

ALBERTON, Feb. 17.

The largest meeting of the campaign was held yesterday at Bloomfield. Messrs. Hackett and Lefurgey were well received. Hon. Mr. Howlan made a rousing speech, appealing to all his old friends to rally around the flag as they did on the railway question. Fully two-thirds of the meeting were in favorof the Government. The meeting broke up amid cheering for the Government and the Liberal-Conservative candidates.

Toronto, Feb. 17.

The Standard reiterates its charge that American money is being used by the Grits, stating specially that the,iron men of Pitts- burg raised afund of upwards of $156,- 000; and that the money is being received by financial managers of the Campaign and distributed.

Monrreat, Feb. 17.

While the Conservatives have elected five candidates by acclamation, the Grits have only elected two. This wasa most dis- heartening confession of failure, and in order to cover their humiliating retreat the Grit organs claim Dupont, Coursol and Gigault, who opposed the Government on the Riel question but who support their general policy, as Grits.

They also published bogus despatches, alleging that they had elected their men by acclamation in Napierville and Nicolet ; but Moiseau, a straight Ministerialist, i: running for Napierville, and the Grits haven't any candidate at all in Nicolet, as Gaudet, the ex-bolter, is admitied to be independent by even the Turonto Globe itself.

While there are only two constituencies in the whole Dommion without Conserva- tive candidates, there are no less than 17 constituencies where the Grits have not nominated party candidates, and where the regular ininisterialists are opposed either by Conservatives or Independents: namely Assinniboine, Soulanges, East Durham Centre. Toronto, Frontenac, Exst Toronto Compton, Kings, Gloucester, Victoria, N. B., Kent, N. B., Pictou, (1), Cariboo, Victoria, (1), British Columbia, Provencher, Nicolet, Muskinonge. Thus the G»overa.- ment practically starts with a net gain of 17 seats, This is a crushing blow.

Sir John declared yesterday that he would have a majority in every province, and it was impossible for the Grits to at- tain power.

Sr. Joun, N. B., Feb. 17.

The Grits here are at their old _ tactics. An organized attempt to break up the Con- servative meeting to-night was partly suc- cessful. The Conservative meeting was held in Bostwick’s Hall, and when it was fairly in progress, a large number of Grits, headed by their leaders, broke in and _ be- gan a free fight. Benches flew through the air, men flew at each other's thrvats. eyes were blackened, heads wele broken, and = for fifteen minutes there was a scene of indescribable confusion. When order was at last res toured there was a rush among the speaker: to gain the platform, and then the fight began again and continued until the fair- minded and sensible inen of the audience, combined by sheer force, compelled the Grit mob to be silent. Never before in the political history of St. John have the Grits been so desperate or resorted to such con- temptible attempts to break up meetings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Mr. Sutherland on the Whiskey uesiion.

Srr,—Mr. Sutherland, in his disclaimer of having anything to do with the whiskey | business says: *‘l defy him to say I had a | drop of liquorin my possession.” Now, sir, you will perceive at a glance how Mr. |S. is trying to shuffle away from the re- {sponsibility attached to this nefarious traffic. E

You will remember the charge in my let- ter was that Mr. Sutherland, in company with a friend of his, came to my house With a large supply of liquor to back them up. One bottle was taken into my house, and after having being pretty well drained, was Offered to me but was declined. The remainder of the stock was stored in the sleigh to be called upon when required. I think it is cowardly and mean for Mr. Sutherland to try to make his companion the scapegoat fur the odium of this trattic, Mr. Lowther was merely accompanying Mr. Sutherland as a guide or pilot.

_ Mr. Sutherland was driving when com- ing to my plsze, and also when he left. Now, Lask, did not that individual have possession of the sleigh and all it contained!

Mr. Sutherland’s religious side issue is altogether uncalled for, no creed having been mentioned by me in the conversation.

The people around here are not ignorant of the manner in which liqnors were used in the north, south and centre at the last local elections, Mr. Sutherland’s supporters admitting that his return was owing to the lavish manner in which it was supplied.

Yours, c.,

Over One Thousand Islanders Em. ployed by the C. P. R. Co,

Dear Stz,—I see by the Island papers that one of the stock statements of Liberal orators, in speaking of the C. P. Railway is that P. E. Island derives no benefit what- ever from the road, although it contributed towards its construction. This is altoge- ther erroneous and misleading, as I will in this letter endeavor to show. Over three years ago I left P. E. Island, and immedi- ately after my arrival in this country I obtained a situation on the Canadian Pacitic Railway, and have been in its employ ever since.

During this time I have been over the greater portion of the road, and I feel satis- fied that | know somewhat more about it and the number of Islanders who are em- ployed by this company than even the hero of ** Upas tree”’ fame.

[am aware that very few in my native province have any idea of the number of island boys who tind employment at good salaries on this Railway. Putting it at the lowest possible figure, there are no less than one thousand.

Where I am stationed, there are within forty miles twenty, whom IL know to be Islanders, and not one of these is getting .e33 than two dollars per day. Many will, ny doubt, here exclaim: ‘** Oh, that’s good turthose who get employment there, but we who remain at home gain nothing by it.” Now, as you would naturally suppose, we, who hail from the *‘ garden of the gulf,” cultivate cach other's acquaintance to a great exteat when we meet in this country, consequently we know pretty much all about each other’s business and intentions.

This places me in a position to give some trustworthy figures, which show beyond dispute that the ‘‘folks at home” derive a vreat and lasting benetit from this Railway. { tind that the yearly average amount sent oy each Islander (to either his wife, mother, tather, brother or sister, or towards the purchase of afarm) is about one hundred and fifty dollars.

There are many who send double this amount and® more, while {there are others igain,who send nothing. One hundred and tiity, thousand dollars is quite an item, but it by ne means represents the total annual in- come which the island derives from the C. P. Ry.

About one-fifth of us save from two to five hundred dollars yearly, over and above what we send to our friends.

This latter class, when they make what is called a stake in this country,will return to the ‘ garden of the gulf,’ as certain as the sun rises in the east. A number of them return home yearly with from five hundred tu five thousand dollars in their pockets, and their places are taken by other Island boys. Now, Mr. Editor, you will see that several hundred thousands, earned on the C. P. Ry., finds its way to my native pro- vince each year.

Liberal croakers will no doubt say that we could easily get work in the Cn ted States. I wish some of those parties would try that Liberal paradise,

This reminds me of a young Liberal, whose father does not live a hundred miles from Commercial Cross, King’s Co.

Leaving home he went to Boston, and after spending a couple of years there, he wandered westward, and got a situation as section man on the N. P. Ry. Uard work, poor pay, and a superiluity of mosquitoes, disgusted him with Yankee doodledum, so he started northward and struck the C. P. Ry. He worked on this road a short time, when he got a good position as bridge fore- man, & pusition which he has held now for about three years.

In this situation he can clear one thou- sand ($1,000.00) a year easily. It goes without saying that he has been a great help to his parents, and moreover, he has sequred for his brother and cousin situations hele, at good wages, working on bridges, it is hardly necessary to add that this young man is a Liberal no more. I trust that the fathers, brothers and friends of these young men will show that they appreciate what Sir John has dune for their suns, ete,, and vote for Macdonald & Muttart, the Con- servative candidates in their County. This young man’s ease is by no means an excep- tion, tor I could name scores from al! parts of the Island, who did well or are doing well on this road. My friend, Mr. J. J. Bethune, of Rose Valley, will, I aim satis- fied, vouch for the truth of what] have written. Bethune hal a gowd situation for years on this Railway, (his brother and a number of his friends are here yet,) he ‘afb for home last fall and will not likely return, as I see by the Island papers that he has taken unto himself a better half ; which goes to prove (fer he is a sensible man) that the years spent on the Canadian Pacitic were not lost. I sincerely hope that his purse will be as well Jined always, as it .was

when he left un Mossra Lefuyoy W

Hackett will be curtain tu get a good square vite from Mr. Bethune, and no doubt from ali his friends.

Summerside, Rustico, Bradalbane, Coun- ty Line, Hunter River, Ch'town, West River, Cardigan, Montague, St. Peter's, Kast Point, &c., all have numerous repre- sentatives employed on this road, as Civil Engineers, Train Despatchers, Agents, Operators, Conductors, Brakemen, Engine Drivers, Firemen, Bridgemen, Carpenters, &c. Now, in the face of this, who will say that the “tight little Island” derives ao benefit from the C. P. Ry.

This letter has gone far beyond what I intended when I began; however, if I have succeeded in showing that every profes- sional man, merchant or farmer, derives direct benefit from the C. P. Ry., I am fully repaid for the time spent in writing it.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that the relatives.and friends of the hundreds of islanders here, will vote for the candidates of the great Conservative party, at whose head stands the greatest statesman in America, the man to whom (as I have shown) they owe so much. [twill be best for their friends here, without doubt, as they can plainly see there is a ‘‘Chiel among them taking notes.” The Conservative candidates have the sincere prayers of ninety out of each hundred Islanders here for their success, and the election returns will be anxiously awaited after the 22nd. Let us hope that the news from home at least, will be that the Conservatives have swept P. E. Island.
