On Monday eVetiing, the 14th inst., the meeting of elect@ts toyiear the candidates for the Distiet, and other gentlemen who occupied thg platform in as don Hall, was remarkable for thi deep imterest which the people evitlently take in the present local contest, §
The a ni aled th¢ meetmap p. m. :
D. C. Martin, Bq.) was the first He reminded the voters that they had elected him four years ago, and as their re- presentative he had always endeavored to do his best, Having been again nominated by a respectakle body of the electors, he was now again before the people. Candid- ates on the Government side were also before them, and he cheerfully acknowledg- ed that his opponents were gentlemen, though his policy was in op position to

theirs. He looked upon the policy of the present G@vernment as being hurtful, and not such as to demand the support of | the electors. . He then \ into a com- |
parison of the Davies and Sullivan Goyern- ments, and stated that same party mM power now were the Davies Govern ment, Davies Government and
some of ul had left/the formed a govern-

ment of Ujér own on the Davies policy He then entered upon an examina! ion of the “‘windialls” and refunds received by
the present Government, and gave them no
myn fr

preseat Government had no policy, or if they had, he wanted to know what it is. As itis, he held that the expenses of the iand office are too heavy, he wanted a re- ductiou in the number of members, con- tracts im every ¢ase by tender, and was very anxious to know whore the Govern- ment were going to get the ‘125,000 there was so much talk abo Hon. L. H. Davies had asked some “questi ms in the Dominion House about lls matter, and
the reply he received did not warrant us in oldeeus asingle cent. He then touched upowthe wharves, winter communication and the fishery business, and concluded by
saying = it is now time to insist Upon our rights, and follow the examp le of Nova Seotia on the secession line.” ‘fhe speaker!
pleasant and and re-
addyessed his audience in a Galiniediy manner throughout, sumed his seat heartily applauded.
Alexander Martin, Esq., then took the platform as the Government candidate. He did not see the necessity for everlastingly referring to the Davies. Government. if
members of the present Government had
left the Davies Government and formed a Government of their own on the Davies
policy, the warmest adimirers of the Davies Government should have no ditfliculty in / 7 | supporcing the present Government. So
much for that. “(Lattrhter.) ~ fhat, how- ever, was not the business to discuss. The question before the electors really is, has
the present Government done well, so well that they should again returned to power and office? If the Davies Govern- ment must be talked about , then we must ask, did the present Governmeat do better or worse / The Davies Government carried out a system or policy of taxation; and the people hurled them out of office. It was all nonsense to say that the previous Government left $13,000 to the eredit of the Province. On the countrary, at the end of their short term of office, they were $51,000 in debt, and this statement is made over their own sworn official’s signature. He defied the Opposition to prove to the contrary. (Sensation.) The present Government had a policy of retrenchment; indeed, so severe- ly economical were they, that the Opposi- tion seeined to make out they (the Govern- ment) were ueglecting their duties to the country. The Government had abolished the assessment tax, the ‘‘tax curse” which the Grits had imposed. They had fulfilled their promises to the people to the fullest extent possible under existing circum- stances. They had cut down the expenses of publie offices to the extent of thousands In every branch of the public services they have reduced the expenditure The roads and bridges are as well looked after as ever they were; and in the midst of

where Sullivan Government gets the money from, and if there » hint in that direction, the whole cry is, ‘‘all nonsense, they will never get a ceni,” but still the money comes, and when it does come, the knowledge that the Sullivan Gevernment has obtained monies, comes upon the Opposition like a thunder clap. The opponents of the Government talk about a

get that the Davies Government spent thousands of dollars nacadamizing roads
Could he take the time the evening, to fully unfold the financial statements of the Davies Government to their gazg, they, poulkt come to no other conclusion than that the accounts were terribly and lamentabiy cooked. The present Govern- ment had tried in every way at all compat. ble with efticiency to retrench expenses, and actually spent $60,000 a year less than their predecessors, though on education alone they had spent $40,000 a year more than the Davies Goverament. but no mat- ter what the present Government did, they received no credit for it from the unserupu- lous partizans of the Opposition, and they could come to no other conclusion but that all the Opposition cared for was to get into power theinseives. As regards the terms of Union, we all felt that the Northern Light did not fulfil them, though the opinion of leading Grits was that the Do- minion Gove rnment had done very well by the isiand. However, present Local Government thought quite differently, and they tock up the case of the Island on the] questiou of the terms, and Prince Edwar(| Island demands her rights from the Do- minion Government with every prospect, he believed, of a successful issue. Not- withstanding this, there is a perpetual howl kept up against us, and the solitary organ Charlottetown,

the Pati wt,

on this question the Udward Island are nearest to our hearts, ! and we care not what party may be in
power in the Dominion Parliament so long as the Local Government is in existence, of vhich he had the honor to bea member, and of wiich he was a supporter asa chosen representative of the people ; that govern- ment would maintain our rights, and by every legitimate means press justice on the terms of union (cheers). This question was one of serious and vital importance to this Province, Their task was no easy one in taking the position of Jelegates tothe foot of the throne. But their mission had not been altogether fruitless. They were re- ceived as favorably as was the delegation froin
British Columbia. The despatches, upon our demands, from Earl Granville, were almost identical, in spirit and langu: Ze,
with the message to British Cx lumbia by a former Colonial Secretary. The message
to British Columbia gave no more hope to
that Province than the message, regarding our affairs, gives to us. Yet, what are the
facts ? ‘The Terms of Union have been ful- filled with British Colayghia, by the British Government, rendering’eur case, most cer- tainly, not hopeless. We have every rea- son to expect the fullest measure of justice possible from the present Dominion Goy- ernment ; and he could assure them that the present Local Government will be sat- ised with nothing less. Steps had been taken already to test the feasibility of the tunnel system, by the Gulnare surveying the proposed route, which would give us complete railway communication. Of course, it is all nothing in the eyes of the Opposition, no matter what the present Government has done, can do, or may do ; but we have given the people something more than empty promises, and we ask to
be judged by our performances. What has the Opposition got to give you? We know their performances in the past, and
we have not a single proof that ‘they will improve. They talk about their policy. Where is it? Their candidate to-night hi: not told us what it is. They have
policy. Is there any question upon which they can touch, whether about reve ue, piers, taxation, the subway, or winter com- munication—upon which they can offer anything better, or do anything more than the Sullivan Government? That Govern-
iS
ment has a policy which they are not ashamed of. It is a policy of retrench- ment. It is a policy which, by every means possible, is just to the interests of the Province ; which openly declares that direct taxation must be kept away as long
as possible. It is a policy which will seek to collect from the Dominion of Canada every cent of the monies which by right are ours. It is a policy which, whether friend or foe holds the reins of Govern-!| ment at Ottawa, will demand the fulfil- ment of the Terms of Confederation by the Dominion of Canada. (Cheers.) The con- fidence of the people is not shaken in us. It was given to the Government eleven years ago, it was renewed four years ago,
all the rumors and forebodings to-day ? Why, they said, we would never get the pier" money—-you know that—-but we got it, and if their unpatriotic clap-trap means anything, it means, the more woe press the Island’s rights the more we gather of the debts which - can justly claim; or, in other words, tho more money we get with- out taxing the people, t! greacer our sins. (Cheers.) He had nothing to say person- ally against the Opposition candidates.

He at once declared that he knew he would be welcome. He was tired listening to all the talk about the Davies Government. It was Davies, Davies, all the time, though that Government was composed of five Tories and four Liberals. They must have been in existence a hundred years, there was so much said about them. But they were such a shoit time in, people had not a chance of trying them. It was | just like this: When they went into office they found that they had a stable to clean,
ut something went wrong, and before the st able was cleaned, they gotkicked out. They must be careful about Mr. Ferguson. What he said was all « cock and bull story, all imagination, mixed up with rougery and deceit. Of course, he was smart. At the last general election between Walsh and Jenkins, you know he went around the country and tore his shirt off trying to i him out. (A voice: ‘well he did it.’) right. Yes, Jenkins got in, but, do you see, there was any amount of fishery bounty paid, and the way the people were pulling down brick ‘was a caution. Roars laughter.) Now he tells you, ‘Oh, trust us, we have vot the ear of the Colonial Secretary on the Wmter Communication. Terms of Union Question, but we want the money, and if we can’t get that, we must give them boots. They, said they would look after our just rights. Well, he would say, if we got our just rights we could live without taxation, but he couldn’t see where the money was going to come from, aux there was no doubt of it, that with our in- creased school expenses, and the constant requirements of our roads aud bridges, we will be compelled to resort to taxes. After advocating the election of the two COpposi- tion candidates, he fe't, thathe must ac- knowledge that the present Sullivan- Government, had saved him, during the last four or five years, one ie dred dollars a year from taxation, and he hoped they would remain keeping off the taxes, for it was so much saved td him, and he felt the good of it; at the same time he would tell them plainly he would rather pay taxes than run in debt. (Mr. Walsh’s speech made the evening quite lively ; the audience were amused to their hearts content and showed it. He received a hearty cheer on retiring.)
John P, Tanton, Esq., made a lengthy speech in reference to topics handled by the previous speakers. He spoke more on the independent line than any other, and the audience acknowledged his very fluent and graceful address by frequent applause.
The Hon. D. Ferguson and A. Martin, Esq., again, shortly, addressed the meeting,
‘VOL. 19.

in reply to some remarks imace by one or two vf the previous speakers. John Grant, Esq., was called to the
chair, and the motion of Hon. D. Ferguson, seconded by Alex. Martin, Esq., a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the chairman, Hon. James Nicholeon.
Cheers for the candidates, and three cheers for the Queen, wound up- the pro- ceedings, after the meeting had lasted nearly four hours.
The meeting wos a very large one, the hali was crowded, and order and good humor prevailed. The whole affair was highly creditable to Belfast District. At the conclusion of the meeting the majority
of the people remained for a while busily discussing the situation, and if
the general opinion meant anything it meant that the Government would be suc- cessful, and come out of the contest with a good majority. The people were evidently satisfied.
Serious Resuits of : a , Joke.
Since last Jenuary. a young man named Lyons has been kept in solitary confine- ment in the county jail at Dedham, Mass, awaiting trial on the inne of murder. In the same institution, though allowed great-
er liberty, is a young fellow uamed Kirby, upon whose testimony Lyons was arrested
and charged with the crime. The murder was one of the most brutal ever recorded ia Massachusetts. Last Christmas an old lady living alone in Foxboro was chopped to pieces inorder to get atan old pocket book under her dress, supposed to contain $10. Suspicion at once rested upon a young woman who worked for her. ‘Svon after the murder Kirby told the police that Lyons had confessed the deed to him. It now turns out that he thought it would be a good joke to scare his friend Lyonsa little. He manufactured the yarn, but he told such a straightforward story at the preliminary hearin: that Lyons was at once held for the grand jury. Kirby says he
wanted to tell the truth when he appeared before the grand jury, but he became frightened, and did not dure to do it Then he became so excited that he did not know what } hedidsay. This»story iz told by a prisoner who was discharged from the jail 2 ae days ago. This man says that Kirby has suffered a great deal since he has been in jail. Kirby told ~~ if he really theught anything wi happen to
rons he would shoot himself. The police have no evidence against Lyons except that furnished by Kirby. Under those cireur stances he will doubtless -be released at once.’
