AUGUST 31, 1878.

Who Will Win ?

Tus question is deeply agitating the ‘subsidized organs” all over the Dominion. They are making all kinds of wild _esti- mates——from dates as baseless as the fabric

of a vision; and painting brilliant pros-

pects in many charming colors. . Those of the Maritime Provinces count confidently upon large Grit majorities in Ontario and Quebec; and those in. the Upper Provinces see beautiful vistas down by the deep, deep sea; while British Columbia and Manitoba float before their imaginations as the strong- holds of Gritism and the source of sub- sidies. But if these subsidized organs would but reason from established facts and draw their conclusions frem real life around them, their prospects would be gloomy indeed. What are the facts with respect to the elections held since 1874! Why, out of twenty-six elections, TWENTY-THREE HAVE BEEN WON BY LIBERAL-CONSERVA- tives! Look at this list :— Ligerat-Conservative Gains since 1874.

Grit GAINs. Argentueil, . Montreal Centre,

. Restigouche. : From these facts what other conclusion

ean be drawn but that the Liberal-Conserv- ative Party will gain an overwhelming vic- tory on the 17th of September. But we have other data. The Siva of St. John pub- lishes the following telegram from a reliable correspondent in Montreal who has made the political situation a special study :— ** MonrreaL, Aug. 26.

‘* Both parties are now hard at work in On- tario and Quebec, candidates having been nominated in all but half a dozen counties out of the 153, and advices are of the most cheer- ing character for the Liberal-Conservative party.

‘*In Montreal the Grits are utterly demor- alized. ‘They have been able to obtain only one candidate so far—Archambault, an ob- seure lawyer, who is opposing Judge Coursol, but without the faintest prospect of defeating him,

‘*Laflamme, Minister of Justice, will be badly beaten in Jacques Cartier, having had only 28 of a majority last year, while the Con- servatives carried the county by 300 in May last.

«The Opposition will carry five seats on the Island of Montreal, making a gain of four.

‘* In the eastern townships the Conservatives will carry all their old counties, and gain Richmond and Wolfe. They will also gain St. Hyacinthe, Beauharnois, Rouville and Ver- cheres in the Montreal district.

“The Quebec district will not be much changed; and, as the Opposition had a majority of seven in the last Parliament from Quebec, these gains will give them a majority of 25 in the Province.

“There are a number of other Counties which may be redeemed, but the above are ab- solutely safe.

‘‘In Ontario the party is better organized than before. Cartwright will be beaten in Lennox, and such Counties as Ottawa, Pres- cott, Dundas, Glengarry, Cornwall, Brockville, East Peterboro, East Durham, North Went- worth, North Waterloo, Lincoln, Welland, Ottawa City, West Eig, Middlesex, and half a dozen others will all be gained by the Op- position.

“There is not a question of the Liberal-Con- servatives carrying 44 seats in Ontario, and they may do better.

‘British Columbia will return 6 Liberal- Conservatives, and Manitoba at least 3.”

If these estimates be any where near cor- rect, where will the Grits be on the day after the election! They will be in the

blues! ' Hard on the Premier and Finance

Minister.

We have been shown a letter received last evening by a gentleman in this city from a friend in St. John, N. B.,—a friend and supporter of the McKenzie Govern- ment. Speaking of the political situation there he says: ‘‘ McKenzie and Cartwright strengthened Tilley here, there is no mis- take in this. It looks now as if St. John is good for three Opposition men.”

ee

Lieut. James D. Irvine, Deputy Protho-

tary, left this city for the Upper Provinces to-day. He will spend his vocation in the

Citadel at Quebec, where he will, no doubt,

glean some information that will be of

future use to the Militia of this Province.

This meeting took place on Thursday evening last, at the Hall—James Clow, Esq., in the chair. Hon. D. Davies, Dr. Mcintyre, A. C. MeDonald, Esq., Dr. Mut- tart and M. McFadyen severally addressed the meeting. No division of the meeting was taken; but from the 1inging cheers at the conelusion for Sir John McDonald and the Liberal-Conservative candidates, Messrs. MeDonald and Muttart, it was ap- parent to every one present that the elect- ors of Murray Harbor North are in favor of a change of Government.

The Political Mesting at Road Cross.

SECRETARY S REPORT.

A large and influential meeting, num- bering about 150 electors of the Whim Road and adjoining settlements, was held at Whim Road Cross, on Wednesday, the 28th inst., for the purpose of discussing Dominion politics. The mecting opened for business by appointing Mr. Alexander Campbell Chairman, and the undersigned Secretary.

After the Chairman had stated the object of the meeting, Dr. McIntyre, the late re- presentative, was called on_ to give an ac- count of his stewardship. He commenced by speaking on local matters, and con. cluded by giving his opinion on flour, coal and salt; and other matters.

A. .C. McDonald, Esq., followed. He spoke at considerable length on the various political questions of the day, announced himself an advocate of Reciprocal Free Trade, and in favor of a judicious read- justment of the tariff.

Mr. Malcolm MeFayden spoke next. His remarks were chiefly directed to the faults and failings of Sir John and his party, and the virtue and good government of the Ministerialists.

Dr. Muttart followed. He announced himself in opposition to both our local and Dominion Governments, spoke at, some length on the ‘Trade question, declaring himself not a Grit Free Trader in favor of continuing the present unjust Tariff, but a Reciprocal Free Trader in the broadest sense of the term.

Mr. Monah Rowe then spoke, followed by Mr. Mutch, the-former in favor, the latter against the McKenzie Government. Dunean Frazer, Esq., next addressed the meeting, and ina practical and concise speech announced himself in favor of the Liberal-Conservative Party.

Mr. D. Campbell inquired as to the views of the several candidates on the Tem- perance question. Messrs. McDonald, Muitart and McFayden expressed them- selves as strict teetotalers and in favor of discountenancing the use and prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors.

On motion of Mr. Angus McDonald, se © onded by Mr. Donald Campbell and other’:

Resolved, That this meeting support the candidature of A. C. McDonald, Esq. and Dr. Muttart.

It was moved in amendment by Mr. Angus Finlayson, and seconded by Hugh McPherson, that this meeting support Dr. Mcintyre, and Mr. Malcolm McFayden.

On the vote being taken, the original motion was carried almost unanimously.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo ple are to-day dymg from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw
