Tur Dainty EXAMINER.

Points at Issue.

The Patriot continues to pursue its

insane course; and will certainly bring confusion, defeat and shame upon the

ead of the Opposition’s “Independent

} Candidate.’ ‘There is no more sense in its persistent misrepresentation of THe EXAMINER there is in the attempt to elect a hybrid ( Opposition - Independent ) represen tative ut this juncture. Neither from) a party point of view por from a public} point of view,is there, at the present time, anything whatever to be gained | by misquoting Tue Examiner, or by| electing Mr. Welsh. Or if there be any-| thing whatever to be gained, it has not| yet been set forth. Blind and impotent | with insensate prejudice and party rage, | the Grits are unable either to invent or | to submit for the consideration of an in- telligent people, any clear and well de- fined issue to be decided at the polls. But, on the other hand,there are many reasons, why the Liberal-Conservative candidate should be elected. Let us, first, consider those which are lowest and most obvious. The Government is in power, with a strong Leader at its head and a very powerful majority at its back. The result of this election will not affect it inany way. ‘The result cae only affect ourselves. And how will it affect us if weelecta half-breed politician, brought out and backed up by the unanimous voice and support of a little land of fire-eating Grits? Not disastrously, per haps, for the present Government is a

thao

just Government. But, the eleciion of Mr. Welsh cannot affect us tavorably. it will not, indeed, further our interests = in the slightest degree. All hopes of promoting the commouweal of Queen's County § and

Priace Elward Island lie in the election of a supporter and friend of the Govern ment; and, therefore, on this lower ground the Liberal-Conservative Candi date should be elected.

If the interests of Queen’s County and the Island conflicted with those of the County at large, there might be some doubt about the matter. But they do not. The good of the whole country is dependent to a large extent upon the maintenance of the Government led by Sir John Macdovald. Mr. Blake has no platform—no policy; and he cannot even on the most important questions, control his own followers. Moreover he has shown, by his parliamentary utter ances, that he is against Prince Edward Island. Here is au extract from one of his speeches—a statement of his that should never be forgotten :

‘For P. E. Island the Receipts were $1,596,000, the Expenditure, $2,624,000— the Deficit, (that is the loss to Canada) $1,027,000,”

This statement is untrue in fact and inimical ia motive. It shows that, evenif he were in power,P.E. Island has nothing to hope from him; and for that reason it is our duty to prevent him from gain- ing one more follower.

But the Government of Sir John McDonald have, from the beginning, shown a warm friendship for the Island Province. They gave us the Cape Traverse Railway in spite the protest of the Hon. Alexander McKenzie

“I think we have done very well for the Island, and we have carried out the Terms of Union to the utmost possible extent.”

The Cape Traverse Railway will un- doubtedly prove of great and lasting ad- vantage to the public ; and, on its account, the Government is entitled to our thanks aud our continued support.

But what has been the result of their policy ? Let the tree be judged by its fruits. Under their beuignant sway, the country bas prospered as it never pros pered before. Apply any test you like: The Post Office Savings Bank’s deposits, in 1878, $2,754,484,03; in 1884, $13,245.-

‘The re Liberals did not win Lelfast in last leea!l contest way that they rn MeMillan, a played-out Tory.’

~This is Welsh’s estimate of Mr. MeMillan, stated publicly in Charlotte- town. Inthe face of this declaration, will Mr. MeMillan and his friends sup- port the two-faced politician, Mr. Welsh? Welsh compared himself to Parnell, at Mount Stewart, and he will uo doubt liken himself te Forster, at Kidon. He is a Conservative, a Grit, aud an Independent, by turns and when it will suit. (Queen's County does vot want any Chameleon politician ; but it does want a strong Liberal-Conservative, who will energetically maintain the rights and claims of the Province at Ottawa.

Great Meeting at Mill View. SPLENDID SUCCESS OF THE LIBERAL-CONSERV-

ATIVES—-THE OPPOSITION'S INDEPENDENT

CANDIDATE ‘* FLABBERGASTED.”

The meeting at Mill View was an auspi- cious beginning of the contest in the great district of Belfast. It was held in the stilly evening air, with the mooa shedding her mild radiance from an unclouded sky. James Burke, Esq., presided.

Dr. Jenkins was well received, and de- livered a forcible speech, in which he ex- pressed his views on all the great questions of the day.

He was followed by Mr. Welsh, Dr. Me- Neill, Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., Hon. Don- ald Ferguson, Mr. Smith, Mr. P. Blake, M. P. P., Mr. Edward Grant, and others.

The tone of the meeting was very strong- ly Liberal-Conservative ; and the Liberal- Conservative speakers had so much the best of the argument that the Opposition-Inde- pendent candidate was, we are informed, compelled to admit that he was worsted.

Federation of the Colonies.

The New York Sun's despatch says a conference on the federation of the Austral- ian colonies is the most genuinely import- ant and remarkable political event of the week. It marks the definite overthrow of vne omnipotent school of political thought, which had Goldwin Smith as the most em- inent literary apostle, and was supposed to be quietly approved by John Bright and other leaders of the Manchester school. This school contemplated, and even longed for the separation of the colonies from the mother country and disentegration of the empire. A violent reaction has now set in. England and her daughters, sob- bing on each other’s shoulders, vow never to separate. Lord Rosebery proposed that the colonies shall have a representative in the House of Lords. Wm. E. Forster, with characteristic promptitude in catching a good popular cry, hustled some Conserv- ative rivals out of the leadership of the movement ; and so general was the ap- proval of the press that the Daily News, which used to out-Manchester the Man- chester schoo!, prays for a poet who will teach the common confederation of the English race, as Arndt taught the unity of all speakers of the German tongue.

What Sir Charles is Doing.

The High Commissioner, Sir Charles Tupper, is taking advantage of every oppor- tunity to lay the vast resources of the Dominion before agriculturists and other classes required in the Dominion. Acting under his instructions, Mr. Dyke, the agent of the Canadian government in Liverpool, made a very interesting exhibit

try, in 1879, $99,197,684! The credit of the country, higher than everit was! The honor of the conutry, maintained by the success of their Canadian Pacific Rail- way Policy without adding a dollar to the burden of debt imposed upon the

taxpayers ! The prices’ of tea, sugar, and almost every other commodity uoprecedentediy low ! Peace, prosperity and contentment

everywhere prevalent—- from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island!! These are the results produced under the Government of Sir John Macdonald ; and these re- sults furnish the best reason in the world why Queen’s County should now give Sir John a strong supporter—why Queen’s County should not now send to Parlia- ment, as its representative, a hybrid Independent-Oppositionist

Then let us rally,and stand shoulder to shoulder,tor the good of our common country, in support of the Liberal-Con- servative candidate. There is no per- sonal issue in this contest; but only the broad question “Do we or do we not

fnglish Politics

The New York Tribune's cable letter of the 3rd gays there has{been a continued agitation during the week for and against the reform bill, both parties holding meet- ings of the highest importance. The Man- chester meeting last Saturday, sufticiently showed the practicability of conducting the agitation on two parallel lines, Lord Hart- ington, while insisting upon the absolute necessity of the franchise bill, counselling | moderation toward the House of Lords,and |

Mr. Bright demanding that the country should curb the arrogant oligarchy,

An assembly 20,000 strong resolved, amid wild cheers, that the existence of the House of Lords was an intolerable anomaly. There has been no day since when a similar meeting has not been held somewhere, the most important being the conference at St. James’ Hall, Loadon, composed of dele- gates from 500 Liberal associations, includ- ing representatives throughout the country. John Morley presided and opened the pro- ceedings in a speech of vigorous eloquence. He summed up the situation in the sen- tence : No power on earth can henceforth separate the question of mending the House of Commons, or ending the House of Lords. This trought the immense audience to its feet with stunning cheers. Sir John Lubbock spoke for the Whigs, and moved a resolution condemning the action of the Lords. Every wing of the party was represented, and every resolution was carried unanimously, including one declar- ing it to be necessary to destroy the power of the Lords to thwart the will of the peo- ple. The increasing gravity and peril of the situation have sobered even Lord Salis-

buro, who addressed, on Monday, in the city, an influential meeting of a thousand delegates of the Tory Asso-

ciation of London andj its vicinity, argu- ing against trusting the Liberal ministry wiih the redistribution. The whole speech was permeated with suspicion of Mr. Glad- stones deep designs. Northcote, Cross and other leading Tories have been speaking at various places on the line, but the most striking evidence of the alarm of the Tories is found in the fresh reconciliation of Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph Churchill's quarrels touching ory organization, All these are healed for the moment, Lord Randolph Churchill winning a substantial victory in the unanimous _ election of the Right Hon, M. Hicks-Beach as chairman of the National Union, Lord Salisbury ratifying the bargain at a dinner of the whole council, at his own house, and smoking the pipe of peace with Cherchill. Lord Randolph Churchill’s party none the lessfopenly avowed that the Carleton Conservatives have been beaten eut of the field. Lord Randolph, in Sir Stafford Northcote’s absence on Friday, assumed the Conservative leadership in the House of Commons, where business is mak- ing slow progress. Nobody expects that the House will adjourn before the 12th. The present Tory programme is to fight the Franchise Bill during the autumn sesgion, line by line, in the Commons, and not al- low it to reach the Lords before Christmas.
