IN BRIEF.

Tre meeting beld in the rink last even ing was one of the greatest ever held representa~

in

Charlottetown. It was fully

ence of Prince Edward Island. The

speeches of Sir Charles Tupper and Mr

Foster

erpment overwhelming.

We publish today a large part of the

shortbuod report ofthe epeech of Charles Tupper, and will, as the copy comes '0, and those who followed him. Although their treatment of the case was elaborate and the arguments of the oraiors were simple and clear, Sir,Charles Tupper called upon the electors of the country to note that, as between the two

politic. parties,the course of the Liberal-

Conserv acives had been proved right, and that of the men whocallthemselyes Lib- era's wroog. This was admitted in reepecti to the consolidation of Canada, which the Libera!-Conservatives brought about in epite of ibe contrary efforts of the Liberals ip respect to the Canadian Pacific Rail. way, wh ch the Lberal-Conservative pro- moted ard the Libersis opposed; in re- pect to the National Policy,whigh the Lib- yals.Ccneervatives carried in the face of the moct determined opposition of the Liberals.

electors of Canada are asked to give their confidence once more to the Liberal-Conservative party. The

Libera!s in otfice have admittediy failed to fulfil their promises to reduce public ex- penditares, debt and taxation; they are admittedly guilty of breaking their pre~ election premises to the people ; they are admitiedly guilty of having tried to force thrcugh rar|iament a measure for the pur- chase of the Drummond County Railway, ucder which the country would have lost a million cf dollars—subsequently saved ae ares” !! of the action of the Senate; ther aré aduittedly guilty of having tried to effcct a deal in which McKerzie and Mann would Lave obtained nearly 4,000,000 acre: of the public domain, including some of the beet uriferous acres in the world, in r 150 miles of tramways; ther are admitieciy gully of jobbery and coirap- tion e Yukon,~ coseequently they are ucwe.thy of the vontinued euppori of a mejor.ty of the Canadian people, who to themselves and ito th

Sir Louis Davies-—I will not say your res presentative, because [ think he is mis representing vou, I shall have occasijn to reterto Sir Louis Davies in rather strong and unquelified terms, I regret this very much, for personally be is a very charming man, and Lenjoy a quiet chat with him. I would very much prefer not being compelled to refer to apy public man in terms thet would be felt to be un- kind by his relatives, friends or neighbors, but public questions require to be dealt with ona bigher plane; and therefore I shall be obliged totell you that one of the greatest sinners Of them all, and the man who does not deserve the name Liberal bus the asme Obstructionist, is Sir Louts Davies. Mr, Mackenzie deciared on the floor of parliament that all the resources ot the Empire could not construct the Cavadian Pacific Railway injten years. Mr. Blake, another eminent Liberal, moved a reecluuon to prevent any attempt to pierce the Rocky Mounitsins. He declared that British Columbia was a sea of mountains ; towt it was a@ barren, worthless country, and (hat any money spent in attempting to Open that country was wasted. They de. clared that baakruptcy would bs brought upon Canada, {Sir Louis Davies put on re- cord as & public man that the contract for the construction of the Canadian Pacific kailway, made by Sir Johu Mucdonald, the Hon. Joho Henry Pop and mayeelf, in London, in October, 1880, was fraught

with such ruin and desiruction to Canada that it would land us in annexation with the United States,

He said that there wae nothing for Canada but bankruptcy, that we were sure to fall into the Jap of Our neighbor to the south of us, and that under existing circum - etauces ,+ would be impossible to maintain our nationa: ¢xistencee Now, Iam not blamingtheee gCutlemen, for I assume that they were hones, i their opinione. Is they really believed whac ‘hey said,they had the right to pursue thar cv."7ee- But that dos not prevent intelligens ™©

whether L'berals or Conservatives, fron

judging between right and wrong; and if

one party show true aiatesmanship on their aide, they (the electors) will follaw that party. The people atthe last geu- eral election were led to support a party who obstructed the gré&t public works carried out by the Liberal-Conservative party: but today they are compelled to ad- mit thatthe Liberals were wrovg. and that we were right.

Under these circumstances, our task is an easy one. You bave only to read Csnadian history to fiod that the Liberal- Conservative party bas had the courage ‘o grapple with the great public questions in a statesmanlike masner, and to solve theu, while the other party has not,

It ‘a beyond dispu’e that through the efturis of .he Liberal-Conservative parly Our country has been rai:ed to the magni- ficent status which it occupies today. (Cheers ) The Government talk bout the magpificent ex- pacely of trade, the gocd times, and the -enera! progress and prosperity which ex- iste 1p Canadatoday. Well, we all rejuice thai cuch is the ¢c:se; but we deny that ‘ig ,rosperity Could bave existed, if their juetructiveness wa'le in Opposition, had ad. beer breken down. esd paralysed.

verfcctly familiar with the facis, Yet ie, today, boasting of praod position to which Canada has attained! They well koow that scome- thing which conduced to this prosperity, was doue in spite of their most persisteni opposition, atd that iftbey had bad their way, we wouldte in no euch position 10» day. Ibey assertthac we bad not been found capable of governing this country in sucha way as to make lt prosper- ous, altnougo no Jess than about 14,000 miles of railway had been built during our term of cflice. All this was done ir the face of their most strenudus Opposi- tion. We must not forget to remember, just here, that on cne occasion, their present Finance Minister, Hoo. Mr. Fielding, twenty years after Contederation was accomplished, went to the people of Nova Scotia, at a yeneral provincial election, and declared thac if tney would yive him & majority at the polis be would break up and destroy confederation. He obtained that majority, but was un- able to carry out his threat. At the sub- sequent Dominion election for that pro~ vince, | went down, assisted the Conserva- tives during the campaign, and returced to Ottawa with 15 «urof 25 members pledged to oppose Mr. Fielding, and to support us. (Loud cheers.) Now, am I rigkt}or am I wrovg when I say that Mr. Fiellirg isa bold, rath man when he tells th? people

intell'gent roan—immense possibilities , and which, after the election, he pre- vented,— wus Sir Charles Tupper’s argu- mentin | '

Mr. Foster appealed to the honest and indepeudeot Liberals who at the last and previous elections supported, Sir Lous aod hic friends fin the faith that they would do certaintbings which they have failed ‘o do. The men who were the accusers in 1896 are now the accused , the men who-vere profuse in'their promises ia LE96 ace now to_beltried in the light of their performances; and in that light what have t!eir boneet ard independent sup poriers « d canvarsers to say about them? They p1: mised reduction of debt,reduction of tsxution, reduction of expenditures—ail of whics hey declared to be extravagant- ly heevy ; and they have increaseg all by millions upon millions of doilar-. Honest Liberals who worked for ihe ta ard voted for tkem in 126. 1» the belief that their statements were uru-,and in the expectation that

the:r p:omiees would be fulfilled, where are you now at? They promised recipro- city 01 uede with the United States and the atoluion of Protective duties, In r2:pect to the former they have received nuibing bata snub; in respect to the lat.

of Canada that he has the right to claim credit for the great progress and pro‘perily of this country? Take the coa! and iron industries of Nova Scoria. We kuew | ibat there was a g-eat field in that prov- ince to maintain and develop thore great industries. Looking at all these facts the members of the present Government must nct presume too much or take to themselves credit for the developemect of

ing too much. The history of this country and of their own their etatemenk.

(To be continued.)

At the conclusion of his speech Sir Charles wos loudly applauded and cheered.

Hoo. Mr. Foster, who speke after Sir Charles had concluded, was also received with applause aod cheers. He spoke for upwards of an hour, closing about 11.20. He held the close attention of the immense audience thronghout, and when he con- cluded was vigorously applau ed and given three hearty cheers,

Mesere. Stewart and Martin, in response to repeated calle, made short and telling addresses, which were enthusiastically received, Then the meeting closed.

PUBLIC SERVICE PROSTITUTED BY PARTY,

Dear Examiner,—I have not seen any notice by the press of the receot dismis- sal from office, withont cause, of Mr Wil- liam McGrath, the efficient keeper of the ligbt at St Peter’s Harbor, King’s Co.

Efforts have been made on different oce casions to deprive Mr McGrath of his office. Mr Commissioner Palmer was asked to investigate in hopes that some cause might be fouad on which to make an excuse for his dismissal, but the com-~ miseioner failed to find any. Now that an election is at hand pressure has been brought to bear on the Minister of Ma- ine and Fisheries, and the political exig- encies of the party are such that poor McGrath is forced to make way for the friend of a political heeler, after about thirty years of faithful service. Such tactics cannot long survive, and there is o0 doubt but an iadignant electorate will take the earliest opportunity to hurl trom power a party who have proved recreant
