i 28.—During Buller’s

The weather conditions yesterday were bighly favorable for the Whelan Demon- stration, and the managing committee pie- pared an excellent literary and athletic programme,—but the attendance did not come up to expectation. Those who were fortunate enough to be present passed a pleaeant afternoon and horoughly ap-

preciated the programme provided for their delectation.

The speech of Mr McInerney wes a masterpiece of oratory, and was followed w th the closest attention throughout and trequently pucctuated ty applause. The

, eynopsie of it which we are able to publish today gives only a slight idea of ite worth. Able speeches were aleo made by Senator Ferguron, Mr S Stewart, Mr Martin and others.

The speeches were delivered trom a apc. 2) etand erected for tne purpose, On the stand, in addi:ion to the speakers, and others was seated Mrs. Whelan ,the widow of the statesman to perpetuate whose memorv the demonstration was held.

It was about three o’clock when ex Goyv- ernor Howlan opened the proceedings in a short speech. He expressed the great pleasure it afforded him to be chairman of such a mesting, and regretted that his bealth would not admit of his speaking at more length in reference to the late la- mented Edward Whelan. When he was a boy he first knew Whelan. He*a!so krew bim in hia more advanced years. Whelan bad many rare gifts. He was an able writer and an eloquent speaker. In- deed, he never listened to a more polished speaker. If Whelan had gone to Ottawa he would te second only to D’Arcy Mce Gee. Whelan had done much for the Island Province, aud it was fitting that tbe people whom he had benefited, and their descendants, should perpetuate bis memory in enduring marble. He welcomed ai! 10 the gatbering, end conc.uded be luirosun- ing Mr. Geo. V. Mcloerney, M. P., wiv kindly came over trom New Bruuswick to speak on this occation.

MR, McINERNEY, M. P.

Mr. Mcluerney, on coming forward, was received with applause. At the outset he asked permission to tender his heartfelt thanks to the committee having charge of the celebration for she cordial invitation and tbe admirable opporcunity afforded him of being privileged to say » few words on this memorable occasion. lt wax, be admitted, with some feeling of sacrifice that when the tocsin of political strife was eounding he agreed to quit the glorious field of battle in his Own ,county and accepted the call to come here and take part in this vastly different but mucb more pleasurable reuvioo. The chief consideration that weighed upoo him was

that he was here {to enjoy with the people whom he saw about him the glorious privilege of inaug- urating a movement having for ite

object the raising of a monument to one of Ganda’ greatest men. His visit had been amply repaid by the hospitality extended to him since he came, He found th2 peo- ple prosperous and happy. Itis about twenty years since he Iset visited the Is- land province —and he was pleased to ob- serve (bat great changes had taken place —that it had gone ahead by ‘eaps and bounds.

Edward Whelan was one of the greatest men that ever trod the soi! of your fair,pro- vince, eaid Mr. McInerney, and when the Canadian Zpantheon sball have been raised Whelan’s place will be second to none, You might plough your city streets, sow your fields with salt ana tumble your public buildings into the

‘| Northumberland Straits and you would

still be rich in the memories of the great

men you have produced on this Island.

duties he found time to deliver several | lectures, hie lectures on “ Shakespeare” | and ‘Eloquence a¢ an Art” ranking with |

the best efforta in that line. Whelan’-- speeches in Parliament were not numer ous; bus when he did speak he exhibited a breadth of intellect anda grasp of sub- ject that was remarkable. His speeches on responsible government,free education, the franchise, the land questicn, the pat riotic fund and other burning questions were models of strength and eloquence. His speech on the patriotic fund, in 1854, was, perhaps, the best of his efforte. Whelan was a most ardent advocate of the principles of Confederation. But many of his ce-religionists were opposed to Con- tederation, and Whelan was defeated: His last speech in Parliament was made on the 8th May, 1866, and was in,favor of Confederation. At that time he said that within five years the provinces would be
