Opposition Methods.

following letter, received by Tuk Examiner

thia forenoon, from s gentleman in King’s County :—

The King’s County defeat is etaring them in the face, and that theis candidates are on the eve getting the last kick, are going the rounds jmiulging sll sorta of lies, and whoppers. In tact they have recourse to all and every kind of sneak thief canvassing. ‘They are now enceavor ing toctrenlate in the Protestant Districts that John hel san, Fisq.,one of the Liberal-Consei vative candidates) is a Koman Catholic, and also that some of the most prominent, sound, solid and staunch Liberal Conservatives are turning Urite, thinking in this way to allure seme ol vir men on the side of the Anti- branch Kail- way, Anti-Tunnel, Anti-Canadian Grit 4nnenationists; but they will find to their sorrow that such dishonest disrepatable iatriguing will not catch oo, They will also tind that on the oul of March next they and their pod-augur candi dates will be knocked helter-skelter—highe: than @ burnt boot.”

nomination, and as a public man it was his duty to bow to the wishes of the people. He therefore asked for a square and hearty support tor himself and Mr. b'erguson. Their opponents were working hard, and their strength should not be underestimated. He then referred to.the great interest being taken in the contest and to the orderly

manner in which the different meetings were conducted. Last election the grits said Sir John’s Government would be de- feated, and now they are telline electors the same story.

to the best of his ability, aiid regardless of party. He had no pers nal ends: in view; he was not seeking after office. He then proceeded to discuss the trade question and the tunnel. lle pointed out very clearly the great difference between the policies of the two parties. He showed plainly how the policy of Sir John was the best one for us, and in what respects the policy of the opposition was anti-Lbritish and anti- Canadian. He felt sure the people did not wish to see such an anti-patriotic policy enacted ; that they did not want direct taxation and ultimate annexation, the natural sequence of the adoption of the opposition policy. He then touched upon the condition of the Dominion when Sir John’s Government was returned in 1878; and showed how Canada had, since that time, had a standing Offer for a fair and equitable reciprocity treaty with the United States upon her statute books. Proceeding, he refnted. the statements made through the Gut press that Canada was a country not fit to live in, and expressed the hope thac they would never find men in the county so unpatriotic as to want to hand this country over to the United States. He showed how the country had prospered during recent years, and that there was no place where the farmers were more prosper- than lie then took up tunnel project wed up the dis- reputabie tactir i

Mr. Ferguson followed. He referred, in

opening, to the strong feeling in favor of the Liberal-Conservative Party, which .was quite as strong

throughout the country cistricts as it was in Charlottetown. him- self and colleague had as good a chance of being elected as any other two men in Can- Hethen preceeded to discuss the methods adopted bythe grit leaders to rouse a little enthusiasm amongst their fellowers. At Crapaud, a few nights ago, said he, Mr. Davies read a teiegram stating that those two great c irporations, the C. P. Rn. and the G. T. R., had come out in fa- vor of the Liberal policy of unrestricted reciprocity. in view of the fact that Sir Donald Smith, one of the leading C. P. R. men, was a candidate in the interests of Sir John, and for other reasons, -ome of us thought the announcement a little strange, and he (Mr. F.) told Mr. Davies he did not believe the statement; but even if jt were true, it was a nice story for him (Davies) to tell. After Mr, Davies had de- nounced the C. P. R. as a monstrous mon- opely which had its yoke on the necks of the people, it was somewhat strange to hear him rejvice he had heard it had put its yoke the reople of Oatario and would drive out Sir John Mac- Scott. But the telegram which was prob. ably the work of some wag, was promptly contradicted on Monday in that excellent letter of Mr. Van Horne’s which has been published in the press here, Mr. Feigu on then weat on to show how Messrs.

SUMMERS IDE. Feb, 27.

A monster meeting was held here last night. Over one thousand persons were present. There were ou the platforin over hundred Jadies and a number of, the leading men of the County, The clergy were also well represented, The stage was draped with the British ensign and. our own Canadian tlag. A choir of young gentlemen, assisted by the band, sang ‘*My Own Canadian Home” in fine style The greatest enthusiasm was marmif@ted throughout the mecting. It was a grand sight, and as each yerse was sung every one in the vast audience, ladies and clergymen included, caught up its significance) and swelled the proud refrain with the drum beating in chorus.

The meeting was addressed by Hon. John Lefurgey, Hon. D. Rogers, Hon. G. W. Bentley, Richard Hunt and Hon. G, W, Howlan, But the speech of the evening was made by Archibald McMillan, son of Angus McMillan, M. P. P., who brought down the house as he referred to the grit party as the party of “Organized Hypo- erisy.”’ This party advised the electors to sink party and save the country, and he had taken them at their word and severed his connection with the so-called Liberal party, snd to-night wished to identify him- self with the : Liberal-Conservative party, who were the real party of progress in this Dominion. He sat down amidst rounds of applause, as he advised the people to vote for Messrs. Howlan and Hunt, who would, if elected, be a credit to the Island) and they would have two of the ablest repre- sentatives in the Domimon parliament.

CG. R. Montgomery, Heq., was chairman.

The meeting broke up by the band play- ing ‘*God Save the Queen,” the whole vast assemblage rising to their feet, closing with three cheers for the Queen, Sir John Mac- donald, the tunnel and the candidates.
