THE CAMPAIGN.

King’s County—The Candidates. ( Austin C, MeDonatn, Esq. /

+ Dr. Murrart. j Toe Damy EXAMINER, eae JUNE 29, 1878. s

An Important Matter.

WE again direct the attention of those electors who have not yet paid their poll- tax to the importance of doing so without delay. Every man who does not pay his poll-tax before the eighth of July will lose his right to vote in the coming elections ; and his name will inevitably be scored off the list of voters unless he goes before the Judge of the County Court and shows that he has paid it. Then let every man pay his poll-tax at the Provincial Treasurer's oftice at once ; and, when the Court meets, let him take his receipt and go before Judge Alley, and show that he has paid it. We advise all who wish to keep their right of voting to see that their names are on the revised voters’ lists.

Let it be remembered that payment of the polltax may be put off, but it cannot be avoided. The tax must be paid. We believe that the Government is just waiting till the time passes by during which electors may secure their right to yote. When the time is past, and the vote is lost beyond recovery, then the unfortu- nate elector will be served with a summons, and cempelled to pay—not only the tax— but the law expenses also. Then, let the tax be paid right away, in order to save money, and preserve the invaluable right of the franchise.

QUEEN’S COUNTY.

—_—_—

General Meeting of Liberal-Con- servatives, to Nominate Candi- dates—Every Polling Division in the County to have an Equal Representation.

At a City meeting of Liberal-Conserva- tives, held last evening, it was decided not to nominate Candidates until every polling division throughout the County had a fair opportunity of sending delegates to a Con- vention at which the two candidates shall be selected and by whom the Party will stand united. This action is, perhaps, a little late. But that is a reason for greater activity. And,‘it is, by all odds the fairest and the best wajintellicont Covy . dates for a large and © tnecagene county like Queen’s. We feel confident that the electors of country polling divisions will cordially aid in carrying the .plan to a successful issue. The way to do it is plain enough. The General Meeting of Dele- gates is fixed for Fripay, the 19th July. Between the present time and that date, let the leading men of the Party in each polling division call a meeting of the Liberal Conservative electors of the division, and decide upon their choice of candidates for the House of Commons; and then let them appoint two delegates to represent their views at the general meeting. By this means the views of all parts of the County will be known and represented at the general meeting; and those candidates will be selected who share, to the greatest ex- tent, the confidence of the electors of the County at large.

The time given for carrying this plan into effect is long enough, if only measures be promptly taken. It is to be hoped that no time will be lost. Charlottetown has, we are pleased note, already moved in this important matter. A public meeting will be held on Tuesday evening next for the purpose of naming delegates to the general

meeting. ee

The Situation in Ontario.

Senator McPuexrson is one of the many prominent independent politicians who favored the Grit Party when it attained to power, but have since turned from it in disgust at its incapacity and hypocrisy. Senator McPherson is now one of the most prominent men in Opposition. Recently he visited several localities in Ontario. His progress was a perfect ovation. The people | of Ontario, like Senator McPherson, have turned from the Organized Hypocrisy in sheer disgust; and they were delighted to greet a prominent politician who shared in and sympathized with their feelings.

On the arrival of the train at Palmerston, Senator Macpherson was met by a large crowd, headed by the Palmerston brass band, at the station, and presented with the following address by Mr. A. Campbell, President of the Liberal-Conservative As- sociation of Palmerston :—

**Srr,—-On behalf of the Liberal-Conserva- tive Association of Palmerston, I beg leave to tender you the congratulations of that body. We have watched the exertions made by you for many years in your capacity as Senator for the well-being of our beloved country. We have noticed the fearless manner in which you

as _ NC

so-called Reform Government at Ottawa, and have been pleased to find that your labor has not been in vain. We have no doubt you will yourself see the result of much of your work, when the coming elections are over, 1 the re turn to power of that party which hasever been the true friend of every interest in the Do- minion. ‘That you may be spared to work for our country many years, is the earnest prayer of every member of the Liberal-Conservative Association of Palmerston.”

And here is one of Senator McPherson’s replies :-—

“The honor you have done me is altogether unexpected. {had no other idea than that I should be allowed to pass through to visit my old constituency in ae. and I was quite surprised to have been welcomed at Palmers- ton, as Lam here at Listowel. It is gratify- ing to see the people of the country becoming awake to the necessity of taking an active part in the coming election. The extravagance of the present Government is so great that unless the people prove equal to it and take the remedy in their own hands of displacing them, | know not what is to become of us, The cry is universal throughout the country of distress; want of employment, and, what you ought to feel most, increased taxation which these gen- tlemen by means of their policy, or want of policy, are imposing upon the Dominion. Their extravagance I have done what | could to expose, and I have merely indicated what remains to be disclosed. A great deal of it never will be exposed, but everyone must feel that the prosperity of the country is being sapped. I, as Senator, have taken a non partizan view of public affairs i the Senate, There we are not mixed up in politics as gen- tlemen are in the other House, and my study has been to do what I considered, and what I believe the people will recognize, as the best in the interests of the people. I again thank thank you for the honor you have done me. It is most gratifying to me, and will do much to stimulate me to further exertions in the in- terests of the country.” (Applause. )

As the train moved off, it was followed with hearty cheers.

KINGS COLLEGE, WINDSOR.

Meeting of the Alumni.

Winpsor, June 26th.

A meeting of the Alumni of King’s Col- lege was held in the Hall to-day. Dr. T. Aikins and J. C. Haliburton were elected Governors of the University,and Dr. Cowie, Vice-President of the Alumni. Among the names of the new :nembers were those of two ladies, the first who have ever become members of the Alumni.

The match for the Cogswell Cricket Prize was played between the ‘‘ Three Elms” club of the College, and the officers of the Halifax Garrison—the latter winning. The bat was presented to Lieut. Cummings, who made a score of thirty-seven in the two in- ning. The fielding on both sides was good.

The conversazione given by the students in the evening, was a great success,

The Enccenia.

(From the Halifax Chronicle, June 28.)

Dteeeaccomia of. King’s College, Windsor, was held on WédTT@iert ot tieerttay.

The President opened his address with a touching allusion to those friends of the University who had passed away since the last Enceenia. He referred to the loss the University had sustained by the death of the late E. Binney. The College chapel and the tower of the library remain as tes- timonies to his interest in educational insti- tions. It was a strange fact that he receiv- ed notice of the completion of the building only the night before he died.. He had several times expressed a fear that he would not live to attend the first service held in it.

Mr. V. E. Harris delivered the valedic- tory address, in which he drew attention to the vicissitudes {through which _ the in- stitution had passed since he first entered its walls, and congratulated himself and the friends of the college upon the fact that King’s was now regaining that public confidence which, it was feared, for a short time,she had lost. He concluded by expres- sing, on behalf of the graduating class, feel- ings of gratitude to the members of the faculty.

When Mr. Harris had concluded his ex- cellent valedictory, which, by the way, was afterwards alluded to in complimentary terms by His Excellency the General, the President stated that he was about to read some lines written by an old and distin- guished alumnus of the College, who, on a late visit to England, had paid a visit to Stratford-on-Avon, and while sitting in one of the rooms in the house in which Shakes- peare was born, had suggested to him cer- tain thoughts. We need hardly say that the writer was Hon. Mr. Justice Wilkins, and that the poetry was of that high order which might be expected from one of his matured ability and high culture. these admirable lines will, we presume, be published, we will venture to say nothing more about them. When the public see them they will appreciate them.

The degree of D. D. was conferred upon the Rev. Canon Maynard, M. A., amid im- mense enthusiasm.

The degree of M. A. was conferred upon Professor A. DeFourmentier, at the men- tion of whose name the students gave vent t» vociferous cheering, testifying to the good feeling that exists between the Professor and his pupils.

Admiral Inglefield was then requested by the President to deliver an address, which he did in a hearty and offective style that won the hearts of the large assembly. Re- ferring to the fact that his grandfather held, many years ago, the oftice of Com- missioner in H. M. Dockyard, he drew an admirable lesson for the young men who were listening to him from a well known tale of thrilling interest in naval life, in which his gallant ancestor played a con- spicuous part, saving himself and his com- panions by his knowledge of astronomy.

General McDougall, who was then called upon by the President,cheerfully responded. Like the admiral, his speech was character- istic and to the point. Three distinct les- sons he inculcated ; Whatsover thy hand

have exposed the wrong-doings of the present

findeth to do, do it with thy might ;

But as]

igion; and love your Alma

never scoff at rel Mater. His remarks on genius and industry their combination and their separation, were 0 the greatest value, and forcibly illustrated by the career of Stephenson, the great en- gineer, and Fawcett, the blind member of Parliament, and the Professor of Political Economy at Oxford. Chancellor Hill being called upon said a few words. Professor Wilson moved a vote of thanks to the learned preacher of the morning, which was passed, and the Enccenmia closed.

Governor Tilley in the Field.

Tue Moncton ‘‘Times” says: ‘‘There are thousands in New Brunswick who will hail with pleasure the announcement in yester- day’s Telegraph that Governor Tilley has accepted the nomination of the citizens of St. John for the House of Commons, that he will presently resign the office of Gover- nor and will, at an early day, address the citizens of St. John on the questions of the hour. In every constituency in New Bruns- wick, Governor Tilley, has hosts of friends; indeed, the remark is true of every consti- tuency in Canada; and all who have ever known him him or have watched his poli- tical career, will gladly welcome his return to active political life.
