On the voter entering the polling place the presiding officer asks him his name, ocupation, residence, ete., and his answers are entered by the clerk. If no objection be offered, the voter 1s given a_ ballot of which the above is a fac-simile, except that the cross will not be on it. The presiding officer has previously initialed the ballot and numbered the counterfoil attached, the voter is then directed to enter a com- partment provided, where he will find a pencil. If he desires to vote for the Lib- eral-Conservative candidates he will make a cross X tothe right of the name as we have marked above. After marking it he will fold it up and return it to the presiding ofticer, who will look at the counterfoil to identify the ballot by it. After tearing off the counterfoil and destroying it, the presiding officer puts the ballot paper in the box. Should the voter be unable to read, he must take an oath to that effect. Then he will be accompanied by the presid- ing officer to the compartment, and in the presence of the candidates’ representatives (who are sworn to secrecy) the officer makes the cross alongside the names of the candi- dates for whom the elector desires to vote.

The Liberal-Conservative Platform

‘That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of a National Policy, which, by a judicious re- adjustment of the tariff, will benefit and foster the Agricultural, the Mining, the Manufacturing and other interests of the Dominion ; that such a policy will retain in Canada thousands of our fellow-countrymen now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of the employment denied them at home ; will restore prosperity to our strug- gling industries, now so sadly depressed ; will prevent Canada from being made a sacrifice market; will encourage and de- velop an active inter-provincial trade, and moving (as it onght to do) in the direction of a reciprocity of tariffs with our neigh- bors, so far as the varied interests of Can- ada may demand, will greatly tend to pro- cure for this country, eventually, a reci-

procity of trade.”

MR. TILLEY SAYS:

“THE POLICY OF THE OPPOSITIGN IS NOT INCREASED TAXATION, AS IT HAS BEEN STATED BY OUR OPPONENTS, BUT A READJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF AND REDUCED EXPENDITURES.”

DR. TUPPER SAYS: “Wi DO NOT REQUIRE SO MUCH MONEY AS THE HON. GENTLEMEN OPPOSITE, AS

THE PAST, AND WHICH WE ARE PREPARED TO PRACTICE IN THE FUTURE, BUT THAT THE MONEY SHALL BE LEVIED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM.”

MR. MACKENZIE SAYS:

‘“We have no idea of having a system of Free Trade.” ‘The policy of the Government is determined opposition to the Opposition.” “It is absolutely impossible to carry out a Free Trade Policy.”

SIR A. T. GALT SAYS:

“Perfect Free Trade would an- nihilate many valuable branches of industry, and necessarily cause the immediate substitution of direct taxes in lieu of Customs duties, to an extent that, in my opinion, would be unbearable.”

WE HAVE SHOWN BY OUR ECONOMY IN

SEPTEMBER 16,

The Meeting at Somerset.

AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY FOR HOWATTY AND HACKETT. OX SWOPPING, CORN SWOPPING, ETC.

held at Somerset Hall on Thursday even- ing. Notwithstanding the heavy rain there were upwards of one hundred and fifty Mr. Howatt was the first speaker. He compared the ledgers of the late and present Governments, and proved that while there was prosperity, surpluses and light taxes during the regime ot Sir John McDonald, there was deticits, depres- sion and heavy taxation during the present regime of Alexander McKenzie, the Re- former. He showed that the deficits and heavy taxation was solely due to the gross bungling of the vast number of incapables who manage our political affairs at Ottawa. Mr. Hiowatt touched several points of the Trade Question, and concluded by condemn- ing in strong terms the acts of the Davies clique in this Province. Mr. Yeo then spent three quarters of an our describing the particulars of his famous ox swap. It was followed by a coarse little recitation

‘about what somebody did and what somebody didn’t, and what some- body said and what somebody didn’t say.” It astonishes the writer

how the intelligent people of Prince County can tolerate this political sham. He ap- pears to read none, and is entirely ignor- ant of every political transaction of his party. The piece which he recites is a curiosity. It is composed of a small num- ber of stray items, which Mr. Yeo has gleaned during a breakfast conversation that he had with some arrant Grit, un- mistakably as illiterate as himself. He spoke at length on the immense profits which the farmers of Ontario make by swapping barley for corn with the Yankees. Swopping is Mr. Yeo’s forte ; and we ven- ture to say that swopping is the only busi- ness in which Mr. Yeois thoroughly posted. Reference : see an account of his Indian swap in a late number of the Progress. After Mr. Yeo finished, Mr. Hackett came forward. He dealt with the ruinous Trade Policy of McKenzie, contrasted with the bright and beneficial policy of Sir John McDonald, and showed the great good which would be derived from a proper re- adjustment of the tariff, He then pictured the white hands of McKenzie—full of pledges and promises—on his accession to power; but, behold them now black with corruption, bribery, and villany—every promise broken and every pledge violated. Mr. Hackett was loudly applauded as he went along. Mr. Pope was then called. On taking the platform he refuted a most unfaceable falsehood, which was circulated by Mr. Yeo, to the effect, that the manu- facturers of Ontario were spending large amounts to carry these elections. Mr.

Pope said that no man_ possessing the least shade of manliness, honor or truth, would utter such an = un-

He then confined

mitigated falsehood. questions that

himself to the various excite the attention of the electors. His speech lasted upwards of an hour. It was most convincing, and left a marked im, pression on the audience.

Mr. Gaffeny then asked permission to vindicate his position in Dominion and local politics. He spoke for fifteen minutes; but the audience could not see any justification for his position, and Mr. Gaffeny sat down with the little thorn of remorse picking his beguiled spirit.

The meeting then divided, and there ap- peared for Messrs. Yeo and Perry eight electors.

Three cheers were then given for Pope, and three for Hackett and Howatt, and the meeting adjourned.

Meeting at Cape Traverse.

—__—

OVERWHELMING MAJORITY HACKETT AND HOWATT.

ANOTHER FOR

Over two hundred electors assembled at the Cape Traverse schoolhouse on Friday evening. Messrs. Pope, Howatt, Holland, Yeo, Lea and Laird were present.

Mr. Howatt came forward and spoke at some length on the policy of McKenzie re- garding the Pacific Railway, the Trade Question, etc. He told the electors to be- ware of the bugaboo cry of taxation which was raised by the Grits to frighten electors. They say the policy of Sir John is oppres- sive taxation. Who raised this cry? Was it not the very men who taxed the dead, and the living almost to death—the sup- porters of the Local Government, and also the supporters of the McKenzie Govern- ment? He referred to his prospects of election, and stated that two-thirds of the meetings held in the County gave handsome majorities for Mr. Hackett and himself.

Mr. Yeo excused Mr. Perry’s absence. He then said he would explain his_politi- tical career for the last five years. This he failed to do. His career was a perfect blank. He did nothing, and therefore an explanation was idle, and impossible, as_ far as Mr. Yeo was concerned. He stated that he was a strong advocate of the Capes | Branch Railway and took the wind from | the electors by stating that a line was run) this szmmer. Every elector present knew | that this line was a perfect electioneer ng dodge, and they laughed heartily when Mr. — Yeo stated that he advocated the branch. | In fact, three lines were ran, and the elect- ors along each line were told positively | that the railway was to be built in that di-

rection. Mr. Yeo found thisdidnot takeand

‘cut hisremarks short on that point. He then

made a sorry attempt to expose the ‘ Na- tional Policy” and explain the trade policy of Mr. McKenzie. We regret that want of space will not enable us to give a full re-

cae - | port of Mr. Yeo’s remarks on this subject. An enthusiastic political meeting was

They are most amusing. ‘‘ Reinjustment,” he said, was a humbug; there was no such thing. He was ashamed to speak of cor- ruption, and witha sanctified airheattributed the whole misdoings of the McKenzie Goy- ernment to an ‘Serror in judgment.” ‘* Im- porting cattle to England,” he said, was now a flourishing trade in Canada. The ‘‘ Ne- pising” Hotel and “ Kausquawqua” land job were misrepresentations of the Opposi- tion—there was nothing in them. He said he would feel greatly disappointed if he was not elected by 900 of a majority at least. He also stated that there were no deficits.

Mr. Pope then took the platform, amid loud applause. He commenced with an ex- planation of the Pacific Railway Scandal, and went on to show the policy of Sir John for constructing that work. He dwelt on the ruinous policy which McKenzie was pursuing in having the same work carried out by a scheme of his own, and while there was millions upon millions of money spent on the road and the water stretches there was not yet a mile of it running. Two thousand miles of the road yet remain un- finished, and McKenzie, by way of an elec- tion dodge, calls for tenders to have it com- pleted, at the present day. He gave clear explanations of the numerous jobs of the McKenzie Party, and showed up their corrupt prattices in a true light. He then dealt with the National Poliey ; the present trade policy of McKenzie ; spoke at length on the branch railway to the Cape, and concluded by a brief review of his political career since the first time he asked the suffrages of the electors of that district, twenty-one years ago.

Mr. Yeo then came forward and made a number of the most untruthful and ridien- lous statements we have ever heard on a public platform.

Mr. Pope mildly explained Mr. Yeo’s delinquencies in avery pert manner, and resumed his seat amid loud cheers and laughter.

Mr. Laird then took the platform and preached the schoolroom empty. ‘Three cheers were given for Pope, Howatt and Hackett, and the meeting dispersed.

Points for Electors.

There are some points in connection with this election contest which electors in general should keep in mind, for they in- dicate the feeling of the country.

ist. The Opposition have during the four yetrs past carried some twenty-two seats held by the Government in 1874, but vacated for corruption and recovered by the National Party.

2nd. A Government which in 1873-4 had a@ majority of over EIGHTY members in the House of Commons, now dares not boast of success, and only hopes to succeed by a majority of ten! That is a downfall of which any Government might be ashamed a loss of popular support which any Gov- ernment might well fear. But it will not get even its little ten, it will be swept out of existence.

3rd. It is reported that the Op- position have carried nine seats by acclamation in the Dominion.

The Government have carried three, and vet they are actually boasting ahout it!

4th. The per centage of seats by accla- mation is about the same as the percentage of victories in the contested elections of the past four years, and even supposing we only do as we have thus, twice done, we shall sweep the Government completely away.

5th. Several of the Grit candidates are avowed Protectionists, and therefore bound to support Sir John A. McDonald's tariff propositions—witness Devlin, Archambanit, John McDonald, and others whom we have quoted.

6th. Hundreds of prominent Reformers whose names we have published, have come out against the McKenzie Government. This spectacle has been witnessed in every city and county of the Dominion.

7th. Many of the Grit candidates have been foreed to come out as Independents, thus showing how weak they feel their yovernment to be,

8th. The mercantile men of all the cities are going against the Government in great numbers. si

9h. The workingmen are going against the McKenzie Government almost in a body, and no workingmen should be so dis- posed against that Government as the workingmen of Prince Edward Island.

Keep these facts in mind, electors ! They indicate the issue of the contest. They show that the fecling of the people is against the Government. They show that the fates have decided against them. Let us decide so in this Province, too.
