RALLY MEETING LAST NIGHT

Rousing Speeches on

Questions of the Day.

-TERRCRISH ON THE RAILWAY

EXPOSED.

Where Has the $6000 Gone ?

The rally meeting of the People’s Party in the Lyceum last evening was largely attended notwithstanding the exceedingly warm weather, and the greatest enthueiasin was manifested throughout.

Tbe candidates and other speakers were greeted with cheers and applause,and their remarks were received with every mani- fectation of approval.

Mayor Pawson presided. In opening the meeting he spoke of the excellent prospect there was for the overt’ row of the Peters combination. The Leader of the government himself was so afraid of being defeated ‘n the Fort Augustus District that he was standing for Georgetown as well. Every elector who thinke for bimself and abomina.es terroriam should vote for the Opposition candidates. The Peters Government had distranchised every employe of the Domin- iou Government when the Conservatives were in power at O.tawa, but now whea it was thought the votes of these men would be helpful to the Liberals, they were re- enfranchised. Not only were these men expecied to vote for the Government can- didates, but their relatives and friends were also expected to do so.

Mr. Paton was the first speaker. He firs: spoke of the Patriot’s references to himself as anew man who did not know much about the finances of the Province, and intimated that he knew more thau the Patriot thought he did. The Patriot also admitted that there waeadebt, but de clined to state just what it amounted to. Mr. Peters claims that the Province was never better off than itis at present. If this is the case why do they not pay their workmen when they present their orders at the Provincial Building. Last Novem- ber, he (Mr. Paton) cashed several of these orders which the holders could not get paid by the government. When some time later his book-keeper took these orders over to the Provincial Building he was told by Mr. Morrison that the men holding them had beeo told not to present the:n for payment unti] January, and in the meantime they were not to give them to any one else. The object of this, Mr. Paton pointed out, was evidently to ran them intothis year’s accounts. When in 1891 Mr. Peters passed his debeature bill

for $185,000 he explained’ that he wanted $15,600 of the ameunt for repairs to the Provincial Buidd- ing. Now what did he expend? In

1891 and 1892 be did not spend anything on the Provincial Building. In 1893 he spent$305. In1894 he did not epend anything. In 1895 he spent $619.21 and in 1896, $417.61. Mr. Peters had failed to keep his promise in this matter as he bad failed to keep it in other matters, Mr. Peters promised to reduce the public expenditure. How much has he reduced it? . He had also pledged himself not to impose taxes without first consulting the people. He had violated this pledge alse. He had also protesied against the provin- cal debt, and against borrowing money. In these matters also he was not in touch with his speeches. The present canvass was a most disgraceful ove. The railway men were afraid to vote as they desired as they would lose their places. The political lash was held over them and they were treated like slaves. He hoped that the people would resent such terror— ism and send Mr. Peters and his servile followers to their homes on the 2\st. Senator Ferguson next addressed the meeting He thought the Opposition bad great reason to congratulate themselves upon the magnificent work done to-day. There was a full complement of opposition candidates in every district, and no less than six of these were supporters of Mr. Peters at the last election. These men became disgusted with the corrupt and extravagant acts of the Peters Government andare now belping the Opposition toturn them out of power. The Government had a hard time to get candidates. They had actually to put up a messenger in the House of Commons against Hon. A. J. Macdonald in Georgetown, The other candidate was Mr. Peters himself. The.e is every indication thet the people were afflicted with One Man Government. The votes in the House of Assembly and the expenditures of public money showed this. The estimates voted by the House we-e not adhered to. In 1893, the election year, this was especially true. In that year In four items alone the amount expended was $87,000 whilst the amount voted was $40,000. Prowse and Rogers were the subservient followers of Mr. Peters, and their voices were never raised in condemna- tion of such conduct. He was free to admit that it was nothing new to have the esti- mates exceeded. There wasa looseness in the law which allowed this. But the amounts expended in excess of the esti- mates in apy one year by previous Govern- ments was not lerge, and in some years it was actually less than was voted. When

“Mp. Flanagan's Dismissal—

! Mr. Peters’ promises had proved to be utterly Iu 1893 Mr. Peters said the day of taxation was far off. He said this | to deceive the people and promote his own | election. At the very time he made this ‘ statement he mast have known that there was a deficit of $120,090 on that year’s transactions. In the face of this promise Mr. Peters very soon afterwards put on

tuxes. The land tax passed by Mr. Peters placed the highest valuation at $25 an acce, apd the lowest ut $5. Last yeur he

mate a lite change in the wct, the fall, meaning Of which the people will find out

in November next. This is one of the, reasons why Mr. Peters brought on the | election now. He (Senator Ferguson) paid the highest rate on his land, and under the little change made last year his taxation will be increased 106 per cent. There is anotber matter te which he| would hike to calla teution, L[stimidation | had been exercised all over the province.

This was ilustrated in the case of Jamie- | son, the messenger who was pul up against

Hon. A. d. McDonald. The railway em- ployes Lad also been intimvidated in the | face of Hon Mr, Biair’s declaraiion at

Fredericton Junction that they were to be allowed to vote as they pleared. Hon Mr. Biair said:

“There is one point on which T am pr-- eee to announce the puliey of the siberal party. ism of the Gfficiale under the Laurier administration, but every emplove of ihe government railways will be free to vote according to his conscience.”

Like all the ether promises of the Lau- | in Prince, and almost half as much as was

rier administration, this has not been kept. The most shameful terrorism had been ré- sorted to in the railway works here. Mr. Prowse canvassed the railway men for their votes. Among the men canvassed was Mr. James Flanagan, employed in the blacksmith shop. Mr. Flanagan told Mr. Prowse that be could not vote for him. Tvu- day Mr. Flanagan received the following letter :

Mr. James FLANAGAN, Blacksmith Helper.

Dear Sin,—I am instructed by the Superintendent to inform you that your services wil! not be required by this Kail- way after July 3lst inst.

Yours truly, H. W. AnpersoN, Mechanical Foreman.

They took the right to vote from the railway employes when it suited them to do so, and now when their friende are iu power at Ottawa and it suits them to have these men vote they re-enfranchise them. They are trying to get the votes of these meo and their friends and relatives by promising continued employment, while at the same time they are promising place-hunters outside that they will make room for thet after the election! If the railway employes vote for the Government candidates they can be turned out without any compunction after the election. If an enquiry is demanded in the Senate into any «ch dismissal the Conservative majority there will be told that the dis- missed men were Grits—that they voted Grit at the last election. He asked the

electors to weigh well the = facts he bad set forth. The candidates were all good men. Blake and Paton

were good men, men of whom any city might be proud. In the interests of good government and for the good of the country he asked thet they be elected. Mr. Biake totlowed. He expressed his pleasure at being a candidate in the interests of the people and good gowern- ment. He had several political fights in Charlottetown but he never had to meet a more dishonorable convass than he did now. Intimidation had been exercised wherever possible. He could not conscien- ciously ask men to vote for bh m= when bread and butter depended upca their vos. He had gone into the railway works and canvassed the men. He found that nearly every man there would like vo vote for him but could not do so becauce of the lash that was held over them. He asked the independent electors to resent such eonduct at the polls. Mr. Prowse denied that the railway men were intimidated, but Mr. Flanagan’s dismissal showed clearly what was being done along this line. When he stated that the debt of the Province at the present time was nearly halfa million dollars he was not very far astray. The debt as set forth in the House of Ass m- bly last session was $489,415.81. There was not a debt of $135,000 -added . by the late Government, as stated by the Patriot. But admitting, for the sake of argument , that such was the case, it leaves $350,000 added by the Peters party. He thought the representatives of the city should have opposed the income tax unless the »city obtained au equivalent, and referred to the fact that Chariottetown was without a re- presentative in the executive. The state- ment of the Patriot that he was in the House and voted for the repeal of the As-~- sement Act was not true. He was not in the House at the time and therefore could pot have voted. He supported the with- drawal from capital but he did so condi- tionally. For a speech which he made io respect to this matter he was laudea to the skies by the Patriot, and in 1889 when he opposed the recurrence of deficits he was also applauded by the Patriot. He (Mr. Blake) was proud of his colleague, and proud of the reception he got. His return will be for the betterment of the people. If all united he felt sure that both Mr. Paton aud himself would be elected on the 21st. Mr. W. S. Stewart, who was the next speaker, expressed hia surprise et the let=- ter received by Mr. Flanagan. He com- pared Mr. Prowse’s conduct in this matter to that of the highwayman who puts his pistol to cne’s head and demands his money or his life. In this case it was

There will be uo terror- |

his vote or the loss _ of livelihood. Mr. Peters said that in the past the railway men had been driven to the polls and com- pelled to vote against their consciences. He therefore took the right to vote from

then. Now when he thought to ure the votes of there men he re-eufrancnised them. The manoer in which Mr. Flanagan was trea’ed showed the liberty the goyerument

“employes enjoy under the Grit govern-

meut. Mr. Stewart then took up the challenge of Hon. Mr. FParqubareon regard- ing the Hillsborough and said he would be giad to meet him at Rustico or anywhere else. Hethen explained that there were two contracts for the completion of this steamer. One was with Mr. Angus Mc- Donald of $6,500 for the hull and the other with McKinnon & McLean of $6,000 for the machinery. Mr. McDonald was paid on his contract $635350 and Mc- Kinnon & McLean were paid $5350 on their contract. These payments to Mc- Kinnon & McLean and Angus McDonald are accounted for in the report of the Com- missioner of Public Works. A further sum of $6060 90 was paid by the Govern- ment and charged tothe construction of

| the steamer but who the parties were that

received this large sum of money or what it was paid for does not appear in the report of the Commissioner of Public Works or anywhere else. The government although repeated asked in the Legislature respect- ing this payment has so far refused to give any account theres’. Under the cir- cumstances the transaction bears @ very suspicous look and justifies the opinion largely prevalent of the extensive boodling that bas been practiced with regard to this contract. Mr. Stewart alxo pointed out

that in the year 1893 there was spent by

the supervisors on roads inthe FortAugnus- tus District about $7009 in shovelling clay on the roads in the fall of the year to

promote the election of Peters and | Cummiskey, a sum almost as much as was spent in the same time i the whole county of

epent in the County of Queen’s. To prove t ie extensive nature of the boodling done on the roads in this district that year Mr. Stewart showed that almost five times as tuuch was equaodered in that year as was deemed necessary to be spent in 1894. Mr. Stewart concluded with an elequent appeal to the people to vote for Paton and Bleke and yood government.

Councillor Nicholson was the last speak- er. Heexposed the broken promises of Mr. Peters, and showed up the deception practiced by the Liberale —in respect to the _ tariff. They promised a reduction in the duty on oil and had reduced it one cent a gallon. This amounts to $2,500 a year for P. E. Island. But at the same time they put up the duty on tobacco, and in this way took $42,000 out of the pockets of our people. Councillor Nicholson, in closing, appealed to the electors to stand by the opposition in the fight and ouatth2 party of broken promises from power.

The meeting closed with rousing cheers for Blake and Paten.
