THE CAMPAIGN.

King’s County—The Candidates: ( Avusrin C. McDonatp, Esq. ) ) Ds. Murrarr. \

Our friends in King’s have acted in an eminently judicious manner. They have met together. ‘They have taken counsel of one another in a meeting at which all sec- tions of the County were represented. They have acted deliberately and prompily. They have come out boldly, firmly ,and in time They have nonunated their candidates and taken preliminary measures to secure the election. Their men are now in the field and the ball is rolling. they have begun; if they work together harmoniously and carry out, in a business-

If they go on as

Certainly they have cause for extreme watchfulness The unscruptlous character of their distracted opponents has been fully Means fair and means most foul they are now sure will be taken to These they will have

thwart their efforts. t» sedulously guard against. They must be ever united, watchful, constant and active ia the support of the candidates of their choice.

The wen they are called upon to rally round are most worthy of such a support. By education, position, talents and knowl- edge of the people, the wants and the inter- ests of the County, *‘McDonald and Mut- tart” are both fitted for the high and hon- orable oflice of representing them in the Parliament of Canada.

Mr. McDonald is one of a family highly true -and just in all

old Highland

King and

esteemed as ever -a good,

to Religion,

their dealings - family, faithful Country. He is a man upon whom the elec- tors of King’s are confident they may rely. They have tried him, and they know him ; and they know that the sacred trust they intend to hand over to him on election day will, ai the end of five years, be rend- ered up unimpared. They are certain, at least, that Mr. McDonald will not act the bully on the stump and the truckler in the House of Commons.

Dr. Muttart, Mr. McDonald's chosen col- league, is also well known.’ He stands high in his profession. He has taken an active part in the good movements, whether political or moral, which have been made in the direction of progress and reform within King’s County. He isa man of in- dependent mind; and the last thing he would think of doing would be to carry his ends by the force of whiskey and tap- room loafers. He is less popular politically than Mr. McDonald, only because he has been a short time before the public.

When it is remembered that, with both Dr. McIntyre and Mr. Davies against him, Mr. McDonald was, in the last contest,only rejected by thirty-three votes, the election of Mr. McDonald and Dr. Muttart, in the coming contest, hardly admits of a doubt. Dr. McIntyre has not yet obtained a col- legue, though, it is said, he has even asked Mr. Roderick Munroe out with him !! ;

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, Patrick Hughes was fined $4, or 20 days, for being drunk and “‘smuggling’”’ liquor to a prisoner at the police station ; Colin R. Livingston, drunk and incapable, was fined $1 and costs, or 4 days, for being drunk and incapable ; J. Treanor, for the same offense, was fined $3 and costs, or 14 days; John Goodman, drunk and inca- pable, admitted the charge and was fined $3 and costs, or 14 days; Mary Malone, James Croak, Frank Trainor, Widow Cay- anagh, John Gormley, John Percival and Robert Turnbull were each fined 5 cents and costs for allowing a nuisance to to exist on their premises ; Widew Thompson, John Cameron, Edmund Williams and John Haliday were each fined $2 and costs for the same offense, said fine to be collected if a certificate is not given on Wednesday next that the nuisance is abated.

THE Supreme Court closed its session at Summerside on Saturday. The Progress says the docket was the heaviest that ever engaged the attention of the Court. A large number of cases stand over until October next. The prisoners received sentence on Friday evening. John Reeves, for assault- ing and resisting the Sheriff's officers, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. David Reeves, for a similar offence, received fourteen days, and James Palmer, for steal- ing a quantity of oats, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment with hard labor. All the appeal cases stand over till next term.

OFFICIALS

The meeting at Souris on Saturday was called upon the following notice :

PUBLIC MEETING of the Liberal Con- LAservatives of King’s county will be held at the Agricultural Hall, in Souris, on Saturday, the 22d day of June, instant, at the hour of 12 o'clock, noon, to nominate a candidate to run in conjunction with Austin C. McDonald, Esq., for the representation of King’s County at the approaching Dominion election.

VERNON H. KNIGHT, See’y of Committee.

It was rumored on Saturday morning that a ‘“‘whole and corner” meeting of Government officials had been held the pre- vious evening at a tavern kept by a some- what notorious petty official in the pay of the Dominion Government and under the control of Dr. Mcintyre ; and that, as a result, an attempt to pack the Liberal Conservative meeting with Grits, and pre- vent the proposed nominations, might be expected. Little or no attention was paid to the rumor, because it, was thought that Dr. McIntyre was too much of a_ politician

if not too much of a gentlemen—to coun- tenance a proceeding which savored so much of the bully and the pot house, and which would certainly recoil with damaging effect upon its promoters. Therefore, no attempt was made to counteract it. And when, shortly after the hour fixed for the meeting, a few Liberal-Conservatives enter- ed the hail they had hired, and found it occupied by about sixty of the political friends of Dr. Melntyre, some four or five Civil (2) servants to officer them, and Dr. McIntyre, himself, in supreme command at the head of the gang, their surprise may be more easily imagined than described. Still the meeting was a public one for Liberal Conservatives. No one was to be excluded. And who knew but the report that Dr. Mc- {ntyre—seeing all hope of getting a collegue gone, and every prospect of winning in a contest dissipated—was present there with his men to propose a compromise, under which he should be permitted to retain his seat, if he changed his coat just a little! Who knew ?

Before half of the Liberal-Conservatives on the ground had entered the Hall, Jas. McDonald, Esq., rose and moved that Mr. James McQuaid be Chairman of the meet- ing. ‘* The words had scarcely escaped his lips—the motion could not be seconaed—be- fore a hard-looking ticket named ‘‘Michael’”’ er ‘* Mick” jumped up, and moved that ‘Donald H.” be Chairman. Without waiting for a seconder, he put the question; and, while he was taking the ‘* ayes” and ‘‘nays,” the sub-Collector of Customs for Souris cried out I second the motion.” ‘‘ Donald H.” was immediately declared Chairman, and asked to come forward. James McDonald, Esq., in moderate but firm language, protested against this action as insulting to the people of Souris, and to Mr. McQuaid in pariicular. Besides, it was outrageously dishonest and unfair, be- cause the Hall had been hired to Liberal Conservatives. It was, for the time being, their Hall; and the opposite party, had no more right to take charge of it than a body fof tramps would have to go in and take charge of a man’s house. Dr McIntyre then began to speak; and his re- tainers began to shout; and on this all present became excited; and many swore; and some tried to reason the question; and “Donald H.” seized a stick which looked

like the leg of a defunct table; and while the sub-Collector raved and Dr. McIntyre stormed and faced his adversaries like an angry prize fighter; and while ‘‘ Michael” shook his fists and ‘‘Stephen” swore, and some tried to explain the situation, ‘‘Don- ald H.” pounded the table in front of him and shouted ‘‘order,” ‘‘order,” and—he swore, too. Finding that it was quite imw- possible to keep the rowdies quiet, and that, though by this time largely in a majority, they would be unable to proceed with the business of the meeting, the Liberal-Con- servatives left the Hall; and to the chagrin of the tap-room plotters who hoped to pre- vent the nominations, adjourned to the Schoolhouse. Dr. McIntyre, it is said, tried to address his followers after the grand manner in which Satan is reported to have addressed the fallen angels. But he could not succeed. His mind was agitated and his thoughts, whatever they were, were un- utterable in language which could be under- stood. We have no doubt his thoughts were bitter. For many even of his friends were disgusted with the scene, and were heard to say that he should never more be a representative of theirs. He must have seen that he acted a foolish and highly im- politic part. We have heard of misguided partizans making such a disturbance as that which took place at Souris on Saturday; but never before have we heard that such a disgraceful, dis- reputable plot was countenanced or carried out under the leadership of a Candidate for the suffrages of a respectable people. If this is to be the mode of political warfare—in the very beginning of a contest—politics will be become so degraded as to be unbearable. We sincerely pity the men who invented and carried out the ‘‘ Tap Room Plot.” It is, particularly, sadly surprising that a man who has sat for five years at the feet of McKenze, should have so far fallen from the elevated standard of Party and Reform, as to take the lead in a proceeding so dis- graceful,

The schoolhouse to which the Liberal Conservatives adjourned was too small. The room was over crowded, and many could not

obtain admission. About a hundred and

Presentation.

Tue Reverend J. Herbert Read, previous to his departure from the Island, was waited upon by a Committee from St. John’s Lodge and presented with the fol- lowing address, to which the reverend gentlemen made a suitable reply :—

To the Reverend J. Herbert Read, d&e., &e., &e.

Dear Sir AND Broruer,—The undersigned having been appointed a Committee from Saint John’s Lodge A. F. & A. M., at their last Regular Communication, for the purpose of presenting you with an address on the eve of your departure from amongst us, beg leave to submit the following. 3

As Uhaplain of our Lodge for the past eight years, and of the Grand Lodge of Prince Ed- ward Island since its organization, you have discharged the duties of that sacred office with zeal and fidelity, and, by an exemplary life, forcibly impressed upon our minds those Di- vine truths which you have so frequently en- joined upon us, both in our Lodge-room and at our annual festivals and celebrations. The principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Trath, together with the cardinal virtues, you have not failed to bring most prominently before us, a3 well as the noble virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, which constitute the foundation of our Ancient Institution.

Your punctual attendance at our stated meetings had often stimulated us to renewed action, under seeming difficulties, and your ad- vice has tended to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection, which unites, strengthens, and binds more firmly the breth- ren of the Mystic Tie.

We express the sentiments of Saint John’s Lodge, as well as the Masonic Fraternity of P. E. Island, when we state that, as a Mason, your loss (even for a time) will be severely felt by us. We will miss your pleasant counten- ance, the kindly voice, the brotherly and Christian admonition and counsel, which has so distinguished your character amongst us, and endeared you to our hearts.

In taking our leave of you, we would desire to express our best wishes for your welfare, with the hope that, in the wisdom of a kind Providence, you may be spared to return again amongst us, with renewed health and vigor, to discharge the duties of your sacred office, and that the choicest blessing of the G. A. O. T. W. may follow and protect you (and your amiable partner); and, if not permitted to mect again on the level here, may we meet in the Grand Lodge above,—that building not made with hands,—eternal in the Heavens.

iraternally yours, J.G. J. WrEtpon, P. M. Simon W. Crappr, P. M. DonaLp McKenziz, 8S. W. ‘harlottetown, 17th June, A. L. 5878.

Enjoy Life. What a truly beautiful world we live in

Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for

this feeling, as every sufierer can easily ob-'

tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.
