Souris, Feb. 19. The Grits here have given up Robertson. They canvass now by circular and _ other- wise for Mcintyre and Muttart: but Con- servative electors will t be caught by urre
ho such mea: dodges; they will go the sq ticket for McDonald and Muttart.
The Souris telegram in last night’s Patri about the circujar isan infamous lie. No circular is current here, except one got up by the Grits. Macdonald and Muttart’s friends will vote the square ticket.
A large and influential meeting was held last evening, at Priest Pond schoolhouse. The Conservative candidates were present and addressed the electors at considerable length. The Grit candidates were repre- sented by James R. McLean and A. Currie. J.McLean,M.P.P. ,madeone of mosteffective speeches of the campaign in favor of Government policy. iis arguments were simply uniswerable, The Grits are quite despondent and much annoyed at Blake's having abandoned the Free Trade cry and swallowed the N. P. with one guiph. The Free Trade cry might have deluded some if Blake had not compromised his followers here by declaring his firm belief in the National Policy.
Orrawa, Feb. 19.
The campaign is virtually over, and vic- tory perches on the Government banners. On Tuesday next the great majority of the electors of Canada will vote for four more years of progress and prosperity. The hur- ricane of abuse and falsehood, with which the Grits have deluged the country, is
reaching its end, and hundreds of life-long but honest Liberals are leaving them in disgust.
When the Grits were overwhelmed in 1878 they blamed dl. pression, and
when a worse catastrophe overtook them four years ago they said it was ‘* gerry- mander.”” On next Wednesday they will probably explain that they didn’t know the new vote was loaded.
The Grits are stooping able means, but they are ing can save them. UHali the seats held by them in the last Pariiament were won by majorities of less than one hundred and fifty; twenty seats were secured by majori- ties below one hundred. The Grits said the new franchise would keep Sir John in power twenty years.
According to their own statements, therefore, tlie Government stands ready to capture most of their seats where they had majorities below two hundred besides hold- ing their own.

The result in Quebec Province is now eyond peradverture. Every day for three weeks past the situation has steadily im- proved. The Party is ably led, thoroughly organized, and represented in every con- stituency by men of personal popularity and ability. Two Montreal seats are safe, and itis only a question of majority with Curran and Smith, the mass of electors being determined to maintain the National Policy in its entirety,
Looking over the Province in the light of personal information, the following con- stituencies are recorded as safe for the Government: Beauce, Chambly, Chi- coutimi, Dorchester, Jacques Jartier, Ka:no- wraska, L’ Aassomption, Maskinonge, Chainp- lain, Montmorency, Montreai Cenire, Ottawa, Quebec West, Richmond, Wolle, St. Maurice, Shefford, Stanstead, ‘Terre- bonne, Two Mountains, Bonaventure, Argenteuib, Compton, Gaspe, Joliette, Laprairie, Laval, Megantic, Monteali,
Temiscouita, Three Rivers, Vandreuil.
Government supporters have already been elected in Bagot, Montreal East and Rouville. The counties enumerated may be reckoned as safe.
There are others in which the Conserva- tives have more than a fighting chance, but which are not included because of the bare doubt. a majority of 16 for the Government sure.

A Washington correspondent inadespatch the other day, stated that it was the opin-
ion on the other side of the border that if the Liberals get in, the Americans will
make a bold strike to capture our fisheries without giving our people any privileges in return, and wil] probably demand heavy damages. But if the present Government is retained with an emphatic majority, the Americans will see that the Canadians are | firm in defence of their rights, and the re- i sult will probably be a reciprocity treaty on | fair terms.
A firm stand by the people of Canada in the approching cuntest will show the 'American people the folly of their foolish ‘opposition to fair reciprocity, if the people
go back on the Liberal-Conservative Govern- ‘ment, reciprocity can only be secuaed at a great sacrifice.
