Liberal-Conservative Meeting at Summerside.
FREE TRADE-—-AND WAY TO OBTAIN IT.
RECIPROCAL THE RIGHT
un. POPE'S ** COURSE AND cCoNpDUcT”’ ENDORSED.
\ LARGE number of representative men uitended the meeting held at Summerside One of the first Cornelius How-
on Friday evening. farmers in Prince County att, Esq., occupied the chair; aud among those on the platform and in the body of the Drill Shed, were the Hon. Mr. Strong, flon. Mr. Arseneaux, Isaac Schurman, Esq., Thomas Kelly, Esq., A. E. ©. Hol- land, Esq., Robert Mc. Stavert, Esq., of the Summerside Bank, John Gaffney, Esq. , Stephen MeNeill, Esq., David Rogers, Exq., and many other influential men— from various parts of Prince County. The meeting was not, however, so largely attended as some expected. But a popular lecturer was discoursing in another part of the town, and farmers are now very busily engaged in planting and sowing, so that a crowded house—such as we had im Char- could hardly be reasonably ‘The number present is various- tive hun-
lottetown hoped fox ly estimated at from three to dred.
Mr. Gorman, of the Progress, was Secre- tury of the meeting ; and we will not anti- cipate his report. Mr, Pope’s exposition was clear, and evidently satisfactory to the vreat majority of the audience. All--or nearly all—-were, of course, agreed that opposition to the ‘‘Organized Hypocrisy”’ is the duty of the people of the Maritime Provinces, and, indeed, of the whole Do- minion ; and, we think, Mr. Pope succeeded in convineing the reasonable, fair-minded portion of the audience that the policy he upholds will tend towards Recrprociry oF Trape with THE Unirsep Srares—which man — in
every farmer — which every
Prinee Edward Island is _ interested in obtaining. Mr. Pope showed that teciprocity in the first instance was the result of an independent policy
fearlessly pursued, and he called to mind the prosperity the Province enjoyed under the Reciprocity so obtained. He contended that the same policy, judiciously carried out now, would produce the same beneficial re- sults ; and he showed that, by taking taxes off articles imported from other countries, and placing them upon articles imported from the United States, the same policy could be carried out and the same beneficial results obtained without adding to the bur- dens of the country. He illustrated and enforced the argument in a variety of ways ; and made it so clear that many, if not all, doubts that this is the proper policy to pur- sue in the present juncture, in order to ob- tain Reciprocity, were removed. The fol- lowing resolution passed with applause :—
Whereas, This meeting, having heard the Hon. J. C. Pope’s exposition of his views and position in regard to the political and commer- cial questions now engaging the attention of the people of the Dominion, and believing the policy which Mr. Pope holds and has pursued in his place in Parliament upon these great questions would conduce to the general pros- perity, this meeting hereby fully endorses Mr. Pope's course and conduct as a representative from this Province, and pledges itself to co- operate with the Liberal-Conservatives at the approaching General Election.
And further Resolved, That Mr. Pope be requested to allow himself to be nominated as a representative for Prince County in the coming election.
Thomas Kelly, Esq., who proposed the resolution, delivered a short but very judi- cious and timely speech. He deprecated any attempt at a revival of old, stale, settled issues, or personal or political quar- rels; and advised all to work together harmoniously with a wiil to get back Reci- procity—-which, once obtained, will, in the future, as in the past, preve a -blessing to every Islander.
Finlay McNeill, Esg., came forward in response to a call, and gave the meeting the benefit of his ideas upon the questions
ofthe day. Hon. Mr. Arsneaux said he was not an extremist; and he _ was ready to admit that both parties
contain good men. But he believes—with the majority of electors—that the McKenzie Party has neglected this Island—has neg- lected Prince County—has neglected Sun- merside. The odium resulting from this neglect, the Government now try to dissi- pate with new promises. Why have they been so tardy in {performance and so pro- fuse in promises ! Because they have not the good of this part of the country at heart! Mr. Arseneaux said he always has thought that Sir John McDonald and his friends are the men most inclined to look after the interests of the Maritime Proy- inces ; and, with the five years’ record of McKenzie before him, he sees no reason to change his opinions. From the present as- pect of affairs, he judges that the Liberal
en ent Dhaene Ala a a Ate —
Cotiservatives will soon again have control of public affairs ; and, he hoped this Prov- inee will be well represented in that party so that she may be able to obtain a fair share of public benefits. With respect to Mr. Pope’s policy, he thought it the rea- sonable and the right policy to pursue un- der present circumstances. This was also the opinion expressed by Mr. Robert McC.
lcide. Mr. Stavert said he thinks there is
‘thinks, too, that Mr. Pope, who has repre-
Stavert, Cashier of the Bank of Summer-
‘*a great deal of wisdom” in the policy Mr. Pope unfolded to the meeting. Mr. Stav- ert’s opinion on this policy is valuable, be- cause he is a thoroughly independent thinker on political questions, and because he has special means of knowing the bad effects of the existing fiscal arrangements up- on the pockets of business men and farm- ers. Mr. Stavert believes that the McKen- zie Government is too open to Ontario in- fluences to be just to the Maritime Prov- inces , and he thinks the Liberal-Conserva- tive Party——the party of Reciprocity——more favorable to the Maritime Provinces. Con- sequently he thinks the latver party are the party which should be supported by the electors of Prince Edward Island. He sented this Province fearlessly and success- fully in the past—is the man the people should support in the coming elections. Mr. Stavert argued very clearly and con- clusively upon the question of the day— viz : ** Reciprocity,” and his remarks were received—as they deserved to be—with sa- tisfaction and applause. On the recommen- dation of Mr. Pope, a committee was ap- pointed. The following gentleman com- prise the Committee to prepare for the contest in Prince County :
Messrs. Robert McStavert, Thomas Kelly, Finlay MeNeill, C. B. Sauuders, John Gaffhey, David Rogers, Thomas Gorman, Cornelius Howatt, Thomas Brehaut, D. H. McDonald, Stephen MeNeill, and Ronald MeDonald.
The temper of the meeting was excel- lent ; and we hope and believe that such measures will be taken by the Comunittee as will ensure the return of two Liberal- Conservative candidates for Prince County.

The Quebec Election.
Tur Chicoutimi election, which came off on Monday, resulted in the election of Price, the Conservative candidate. The Morning Chronicle of Halifax says, ‘‘ Price is elected for Chicoutimi. He is a Conser- vative, but will likely give Joly a fair sup- port.” This is the way the Grits reckon their majority in the Quebee House of As- sembly.
The House now stands— thirty-four Con- servatives and thirty-one Liberals. The Quebec Grit organs count upon the support of four of ,the Conservatives. This, how- ever, is only for effect in the coming Domin- ion Elections. To show that they really know the situation to be different from the figures they give, we have only to refer to Rouville. The Grits claim the member for Rouville ; and yet, at their demonstration after the election, they had on their banners in flying colors, © Rowville will be Re- deemed.”

A petition was read from the residents of Upper Cumberland street, asking for the removal of a nuisance which existed in that vicinity, and is caused by the accumulation of stagnant water in a vacant lot. The matter was referred to the City Marshal to report upon.
A petition was read from a committee of the Sons of Temperance, asking permission to hold a temperance demonstration in Vic- toria Park on the ist of July. The request was granted on condition that the assembly be subject to the rules of the Park-keeper.
His Worship stated that the seat of the junior Councillor for Ward 4 was vacant and that notice was given for the election on Monday of a person to fill the vacancy.
A letter was read from the Secretary of the City School Board, stating that the amount estimated for school purposes in this city, from the Ist of Juiy, 1878, to Ist of July, 1879, was $9,455, and asking that the same amount be assessed for.

Councillors, Peake, Morris, Harris and Hearts spoke in favor of purchasing carts ; and a motion was carried, that tenders be called for the construction of a water cart of 400 gallons capacity—each tender to be accompanied by a plan of the same.
The Mayor called the attention of the Council to the present disgraceful state of the streets. He said that different parts of
of repairing was not carried on in a very energetic manner. He thought that a larger force of men should be employed. A short discussion followed; but no action was taken in the matter. ee, aS ae Russians in America. WHY TIE CIMBRIA HAS BEEN WAITING ON THE MAINE COAST.
ee
(Ry Telegraph to the N. Y. Herald.)
3ALTIMORE, May 4, 1878.
The following extremely impor tant infor- mation comes from an authority which can scarcely be questioned. ‘T'wo special agents of the Russian Government arrived in this country yesterday, bearing authority from the Emperor to select immediately fast; steam vessels suitable for privateering pur-! poses. These agents arrived at New York on the steamship ‘*‘ Germanic,” from Liver- | pool which came in yesterday, and their, names appear on the passenger list as A. Croppenberg, and H, W. Hunt.
The former is a brother of the comman- der of the steamer ‘* Cimbria,” now lying on the Maine coast. He is a Finn and is an officer in the Russian navy, said to be of high rank.
The other gentleman is a resident of Bos- ton. He has been four months in Russia, and comes back to America accredited with | powers to assist in examing and select steam- | ers to be fitted out as privateers. The two | officials were met at the steamer’s wharf by a well-known American shipbuilder, who recently made a quiet tour to Russia, and who is well-known to serve the Govern- mentof the Czar by giving the benefit of his knowledge of American ships, which, may be purchased suitable for the designs of Russia.
The three gentlemen proceeded as unos- tentatiously as possible to the Everett House, aud the shipbuilder registered him- self ‘‘and two friends””
The Russian Minister was sought, and when it was found that he had returned to Washington the two agents, at eight o’clock, - the hotel to proceed at once to the eap- ital.
—_—
MORE COMING.
lam informed that some ten other Rus- sian naval officers are to come to this coun- try, singly and on different steamers, and that with the assistance of the two Ameri- can gentlemen referred to they aro to desig- nate about fifty fast ships to be purchased and fitted out as privateers in the event of war with England.
The crews will be drafted partly from the men brought over by the “Cimbria,” and will be completed by men enlisted in this country.
i am also informed that these two agents are really the first that have arrived in this country with power to act, and that the other are to follow at onee.
_One of the gentlemen, who was in New York yesterday, has a list of people having fast steamers for sale. Among those at the metropolis are the Clydes, Mr. Mr. Quin- tard, Charles Hi. Mallory, and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
The ‘* Cimbria” will leave her present position in a day or more, subject to orders of these agents, whose arrival she has been awaiting. The two officials are now in Washington.
