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 is 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 resence 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.

IN THE ABSTRACT, SIR JOHN]?

MACDONALD IS AS MUCH A FREE TRADER AS I AM.—Hon. Alexander McKenzie. Tue Ministeral policy is as follows :— ‘Toronto, Aug. 15, 1872. “Jon. John Simpson, President Ontario Bank,

“My Dear Srr,—The fight goes bravely on. We have expended our strength in aiding outlying counties and helping our city candi- dates. But a Bia pusH has to be made on Saturday and Monday for the East and West divisions. We, therefore, make our GRAND STAND on Saturday. There are but a half- dozen people that can COME DOWN HAND- SOMELY, and we have done all we possibly can do, and we have to ask a few outsiders to help us. Witt you be one? TI have been urged to write you, and comply accordingly. Things look well all over the Province. Things look bright in Quebec !

‘Faithfully yours, ‘GEORGE BROWN.” |

HON. J. C. POPE, HON. F. DE ST. CROIX BRECKEN.

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 restcre 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-previncial trade, and moving (as it ought to do) in the direction of a reciprocity of tarifis 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 OPPOSITION IS NOT INCREASED TAXATION, AS IT HAS BEEN STATED BY OUR OPPONENTS, BUT A READJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF AND REDUCED EXPENDITURES.” |

DR. TUPPER SAYS:

“WE DO NOT REQUIRE SO MUCH MONEY AS THE HON. CENTLEMEN OPPOSITE, AS WE HAVE SHOWN BY OUR ECONOMY IN 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.”

Meeting at Summerville, Lot 66.

MACDONALD AND MUTTART AHEAD AGAIN!

This meeting took place, according to ad- vertisement, at Edmonds’, on Thursday, the 12th inst. About 100 electors were resent. P. J, D. Edmonds, Esq., was called to the Chair, after which the meet- ing was addressed by the several candi- dates, and Cyrus Shaw, Esy., and Mr. Monoah Rowe. All parties received a fair and impartial hearing. After the candi- dates had been proposed, a division was considered unnecessary, as the ‘*Yeas” for McDonald and Muttart were 10 to lin their favor. A great deal of boasting and blowing was indulged in during the first of the campaign by the Grit candidates as to the majorities they carried at Souris and St. Peter's; but by this time, afier a series of meetings held in different parts of the County deciding almost unanimously in favor of the Liberal-Conservatives can- didates, it must be evident to the most ardent admirer of the McKenzie Govern- ment that King’s County will elect, on the 17th, the people’s candidates, Messrs. Me- Donald and Muttart, while the two as- pirants brought forward by the McKenzie- Davies compact, will be returned to the bosoms of their families-

Lord Dufferin’s Last Speech.

The joint address of the municipal cor- porations of Ontario to His Excellency the Governor-General was lately presented. Lord Dufferin, after thanking the delegates for the honor conferred upon him, proceed- ed to refer to his successor, saying :—

It has been my good fortune to be con- nected all my life long with his family by ties of the closest personal friendship. Himself I have known, I may say, almost from his boyhood, and a more conscientious, high-minded or better qualified Viceroy could not have been selected. (Great ap- plause.) Brought up. under exceptionally fortunate conditions, it is needless to say he has profited to the utmost by the advan- tages placed within his reach, many of which will have fitted him in an especial de- gree for his present post. His public school and college education, his experience in the House of Commons, his large person- al acyuaintance with the representatives of ali that is most distinguished in the intel- lectua! world of the United States, his lit- erary and artistic tastes, his foreign travel, will all combine to render him intelligently sympathetic with every phase and aspect of your national life. (Great applause.) Above all he comes of a good Whig stock, that is to say, of a family whose promin- ence in history is founded upon the sac- rifices they have made in the cause of con- stitutional liberty. (Cheers.) When a couple of a man’s ancestors have perished on the scaffold as martyrs to the cause of political and religious freedom, you may be sure there is little likelihood of their descendants seeking to en- croach, when acting as the representative of the Crown, upon the privileges of Parliament or the independence of the peo-

le. (Loud cheers.) As for your future Tinos it would not become me to enlarge upon her merits —she will soon be amongst you, taking all hearts by storm, by the grace, the sauvity, the sweet simplicity of her manners, life and conversation. (Tre- mendous applause.) Gentlemen, if ever there was a lady who in her earliest youth had formed a high ideal of what a noble life should be—if ever there was a human being who tried to make the most of the opportunities within her reach, and to create for herself, in spite of every possible trammel and impediment, a useful career and occasions of benefitting her fellow- creatures, it is the Princess Louise, whose unpretending exertions in a hundred differ- ent directions to be of service to her coun- try and generation, have already won for her an extraordinary amount of popularity at home. (Applause.) When to this you add an artistic genius of the highest order, and innumerable other personal gifts and accomplishments, combined with manners and an address so gentle, so unpretending as to put every one who comes within reach of her influence at perfect ease, you cannot fail to understand that England is not merely sending youa Royal Prin- cess of majestic lineage, but a good and noble woman in whom the humblest settler or ;mechanic in Canada will find an intelligent and sypathetic friend. (Cheers.) So that, gentlemen, | hard- ly know which pleases me most, the thought that the superintendence of your destinies is to be confided to persons so worthy of the trust or that so dear a friend

| of my own as Lord Lorne, and a personage

for whom I entertain so much respectful admiration as I do for the Princess Louise, should commence their future labors in the midst of a community so indulgent, so friendly, 20 ready to take the will for the deed, so generous in their recognition of any effort to serve them, as you jhave proved yourself to be. And yet, alas ! gen- tlemen, pleasant and agreeable as is the prospect for you and them—we must ac- knowledge there is one drawback to the picture. Lord Lorne has, as I have stated, a multitude of merits, but even spots will be discovered on the sun, and unfortunate- ly an irreparable, and as I may call ita congenital defect attaches to this appoint- ment. Lord Lorne is not an Irishman ? (Great laughter). It is not his fault—he did the best he could for himself—(Renew- ed laughter)—he came as near the right thing as possible by being born a Celtic Highlander. (Continued laughter.) There is no doubt the world is best administered by Irishmen. (Hear, hear.) Things never went better with us either at home or abroad than when Lord Palmerston ruled Great Britain-(cheers)—Lord Monck directed the destinies of Canada—({cheers)—and the Robinsons, the Kennedys, the Laffans, the Callaghans, the Gores, the Hennesseys, administered the affairs of our Australian colonies and West Indian possessions, (Loud applause.) Have not even the French at last made the same discovery in the person of MacMahon. (Laughter and applause.) But still we must be generous, and it is right Scotchmen should havea turn. (Laughter.) After all, Scotland only got her name because she was con- quered by the Irish (laughter) ; and, if the real truth were known, it is probable the House of Inverary owes most of its glo

to an Irish origin. (Applause ) Nay, { will go a step further—I would even let the poor Englishman take an occasional turn at the helm (great laughter), if for no better

better we manage the business. (Renewed laughter.) But you have not come to that yet, and though you have been a little spoiled by having been given three Irish Governor-Generals in succession, I am sure that you will find your new Viceroy’s per- sonal and acquired qualifications will more than counterbalance his ethnological disad- vantages.

In conclusion the Governor-General said he should never forget the kindness of the people of Canada, and that as long as he should live it would be one of his chief ambitions to render them faithful and effectual service.

Goldwin Smith Speaks Out.

Professor Goldwin Smith, in 1873, struek

regard to the Pacific Scandal. Probably Professor Smith contributed more than most men tothe defeat of Sir John Me- Donald and the elevation of Mr. McKenzie to power.

Four years have elapsed since Mr. Me. kenzie’s advent to office; Professor Goldwin Smith has had every opportunity to study Mr. McKenzie’s policy; and the conclusion he comes to is that the hope of this county consists in the return of Sir John A. Me- Donald to oftice again. In the words ot the Greek poet, we shall know the difference wheu he is back again.

Professor Smith is one of the foremost Liberals. His is a master mind in the dis- cussion of public questions. And the above is his solemnly delivered opinion on the eve of a general election.

Professor Smith is not alone in his views; these, too, are the views of Senator Mac- Pherson, who was a McKenzie man, and of a whole host of less known, but stil] influ- ential, gentlemen, who were McKenzie men in 1873-4, but who, from an independent standpoint, have watched Mr. McKenzie’s career, at first with hope; then with fear; then with disappointment; and who now see him tottering to the end of his tether with every promise broken and every hope unfulfilled. Let not Nova Scotia return even one man pledged to support him. To do so, will be to fly in the face of Prosper- ity and Progress.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm. ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all
