THE TIGNISH MEETING.

A LARGE GATHERING—SPEECHES BY PERRY, YEO, HOWATT, HACKETT, KELLY, DR. O'LEARY, ARSENAULT AND THE COL- LECTOR AT ALBERTON — PERRY AND YEO BEATEN IN THEIR OWN MEETING THE CANDIDATURE OF HOWATT AND HACKETT ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY EN- DORSED.

By printed bills, in French and English, by advertisements in the newspapers, and by the medium of his friends and ‘‘ word of mouth,” Mr. Perry called a public meeting at Tignish on Saturday, the 6th inst, at 3 o'clock. Mr, Perry must have felt highly elated when the time arrived. The activity and promptitude with which his call was answered was really remarkable. About one o'clock electors from all the surround- ing country began to come into the town ; and, by the hour of meeting, fully five hundred had assembled. When Mr. Perry went into Tignish Grammar School, it was with an air of triumph. His constituents had come together at his word. Already he heard, in anticipation, their shouts of applause as he recounted the many eloquent speeches he delivered and the many pru- dent, patriotic votes he recorded while standing as their representative in the Commons of Canada! Alas! that such high hopes should so soon have been blight- .d! Alas! that before the sun went down Mr. Perry and his brilliant colleague should have slunk from the presence of the electors of Tignish quite chopfallen !

Huvert Gavpetr, Esq., was, on Mr. Perry’s motion, appointed chairman of the meeting ; and, on Mr. Perry’s motion, too, a certain violent partizan, named John McPhee, was appointed secretary.

Mr. Perry then began his address. He expressed his very great pleasure at the evidence before him, in the crowded hall, that the people of Tignish were taking an active and intelligent interest in the affairs of the country. He also expressed his very great pleasure that the Opposition press were well represented. He said that the late Government, while in office, had added ten millions of dollars to the public debt, while the present Government had reduced it. He defended the steel rails transaction and the Kaministiquia Job. He tried to palliate the large additions undeniably made to the public expenditure; and he de- clared that, although he had not got from the Government the justice the Province and Prince County deserved,he at least had done the best for them he possibly could. He dwelt upon the trade question, and tried to impress his hearers with the belief that in some mysterious way, unknown to Davies or Stewart, the Liberal-Conservative Party intended to overwhelm the country by taxation. He said that he would like to see Reciprocity; and he quoted the prices of horses sold in the United States to show that higher prices were paid us since the Reciprocity Treaty was abrogated than were paid while the Reciprocity Treaty was in operation! Mr. Perry was attentively heard, but got no applause. He spoke in French, with the same result.

Mr. Yeo said he had done the best, as their representative, that he could. He supported the McKenzie Government be- cause the people sent him to do so; and thought the McKenzie Government had done pretty well for the Island. At all events if they had not, he could not help it. He said the Local Government had given the people a pretty good taste of taxes dur- ing the last two years; and if the present Government were removed, and those bad men who wanted to ruin the country were placed in power, the people would be more heavily burdened than before the Leasehold system was abolished. He expressed the hope that a good proportion of the Fishery Award—which, he forgot to say, was ob- tained through the diplomacy of Sir John McDonald—would be expended in this Province. Mr. Perry said a good deal, and had expressed his sentiments. If the elec- tors wanted him to go to Ottawa, he would go. If not, he would stay home. He said he would like to see reciprocity again; but he didn’t say anything about the horse trade. Mr. Yeo’s short speech was patiently listened to.

Cornetivs Howarr, Ese. then addressed the meeting. He asked his fellow-farmers how it was possible for the present Govern- ment to have reduced the Public Debt, when, year after year, deficit after deficit stared them in the face. He called to mind his well-known, life-long opposition to taxation in any form; and the fact that the McKenzie Government, like the Davies Government, had raised the taxes of the people. Mr. Yeo’s allusion to the infamous

taxes imposed by the Davies-Stewart Goy- ernment, reminded him (Mr. Howatt) that

AMINER.

now the very men who back up and support Messrs. Yeo and Perry. The Patriot, too, which insulted the whole French people, is theirorgan. For his part, he always op- posed additions to the taxes of the country; and, during the eighteen years he had sat in the Legislature, the people of this Island hardly knew what taxation was. He had been nominated as a candidate in the ap- proaching election; and, if elected, he would endeavor to have the duties imposed by the McKenzie Government removed from tea, sugar, and other articles. He be- lieved the policy laid down by Sir John McDonald was a judicious readjustment of the tariff, so that the burdens of the poor would be lightened, and the depressed trade of the country fostered. Such a readjust- ment he would support. But he wished to have it distinctly understood that he was not a ‘* Protectionist”—if Protection meant additions to the taxes ef the people, or an increase in any way of the heavy burdens imposed by the obnoxious Local Govern- ment. Mr. Howatt said that, from advices he had received from influential residents, he believed the Liberal-Conservative can- didates would poll majorities in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Districts. He left it for the electors themselves to say what they would do in the First District. Mr. Howatt was heard with evident appreciation.

Mr. Hacxerr followed, with one of the best speeches we have heard since the cam- paign began. Ue commenced with the Government's breach of faith respecting winter steam communication ; and he went on to speak of the insiduous attempt to disfranchise our young men, which Messrs. Yeo and Perry failed to oppose by either word or action ; of the dastardly manner in which the [sland had been deprived of representation in the Cabinet ; of the fail- ure of Mr. Perry to keep his promise to op- pose the Government if that great wrong were not repaired ; of the proved and unde- niable corruption which blackened the Party placed in power to introduce an era of political purity ; and of the unexampled extravagance of the ‘‘ economists” who de- nounced Hincks, Tilley and Tupper as monsters of extravagance. He showed that, after four years, Yeo und Perry had only—just before the election—succeeded in getting crowded into the supplementary estimates the small item of $4,000 to build the proposed breakwater at Miminegash ; and he denounced the Government which increased the public debt from $22 to $37 per head of the population, and raised the taxes from $3 to $5 per head. Mr. Hackett went fully into the Trade Question. He was listened to with attention, and very frequently applanded.

Mr. Perry explained that he meant to say that the present Government decreased the ‘‘ annual expenditure”—not the ‘‘Pub- lic Debt.” He objected to having his name coupled with those of Davies and Calhoun, and he declared that he had nothing what- ever to do with that miserable paper called the Patriot.

Tuomas Ketty, Esq., of Summerside, being called upon, delivered an argumenta- tive and convincing address. He confined himself almost exclusively to the hypocrisy of the Grit Party (as shown by their protestations of Purity and Economy while in Opposition, and their corrupt and extra- vagant acts, when they had obtained the reins of power) and to the Trade question. He was listened to with marked attention, and heartily applauded when he concluded his able effort.

Dr. O'LEARY, and the Sub-Collector of Customs at Alberton—Mr. James White— then tried to work upon the religious feel- ings of the people; but they were sharply rebuked by Charles McCarthy, Esq., who said he hoped that Catholic and Protestant would work together, hand in hand, to overthrow their common enemy. It is probable now that they are sorry they spoke. The audience laughed at them.

CuarLes McCarruy, Esq., moved that Mr. Howatt be nominated one of the Liberal Conservative candidates. Some one else moved that Mr. Edward Hackett be one of the candidates.

Hon. Josep O. ArsENAULT calmed the tumult raised by the lively doctor and the frothy Collector. He showed that the peo- ple of his part of the country are hearttly sick of the two-faced conspirators who now rule the country, and he believed they would unite to put out Perry and Yeo.

The Secretary moved, in amendment, a long resolution—a copy of which he re- fused to give our reporter. John J. Arsneault, Esq., moved the adoption of the following resolution :—-

Whereas| The present Dominion Govern- ment have failed to keep faith with the people of this Province in the matter of Winter Steam Communication with the Mainland; in en- deavoring to disfranchise our young men, and by unjustly depriving as of a seat in the Cab- inet ;

And Wiereas, The present Government, having promised to practise economy and re- treachment, have failed in doing so, and have, instead, squandered the public money, increas- ing the expenditure by several millions over the revenue ;

And Whereas, The trade policy and prac- tices of the present Government do not meet with the approbation of this meeting, knowing that the financial state of this Dominion re- quires a readjustment of our tariff, so as to protect and foster our industries, thereby making a home for our young men, who are fast leaving us to seek employment in the neighboring States.

And Whereas, The conduct of our late re- presentatives, in supporting the present Ad- ministration, does not meet with the approba- tion of this meeting ;

Therefore Resolved, That this meeting, |

having lost confidence in the late represen- tatives, approves of the nomination of two Liberal-Conservative Candidates who will oppose the present Administration, Some one suggested that the names of Hackett and Howatt be introduced after the word ‘‘ candidates,” and the suggestion was adopted. The Chairman then asked those who gu ported Hackett and Howatt to go to the left, and those who supported Yeo and Perry to go to the right. About two dozen went to the right, and there was a general rush for the left —the majority for Howatt and Hackett being from four to five hun- dred !

The result created great enthusiasin among all but Yeo and Perry and their few

followers, who went to a corner to hold a consultation.
