LETTE ARs 4

SIR, ime e has appeared in late issues of the Patriot two literary productions, purport- ing to . reports of a series of meetings so

lin the interests of the Liberal-Conservative

The first of those brillant reports | have not before me at present, but it does not

require a great stretch of memory to remember l] it contained.

The whole report, including the names of the ofiicers elected, was purely fabulous, and ‘it dees not take much astuteness to detect

_and there are certain charges of money

-on account of these charges being made, ahd. hearing as I have heard that they are belféved

The second report I have now before me, being

offered in this division to buy votes, and it is

by some that I take any notice of the’ matter at all, and here I migit say that & positively deny those charges,as well as others contained in the report, although the same Party pelled live more votes here’ than. they did at the local election.

Now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor, the writer of those articles ‘and his accomplices are not unknown to me, and in the words of Herbert Spencer 1 might say ‘‘ you need not expect giden conduct from leaden instincts,” and wherever those articles were Written, whether in the smoky atmosphere of a kiln, or at the famous four-mile inn, amidst the wreck of

i that could hardly

be expected, but with the |

'certainty that a good working majority will be ¢ arrayed on its side when the house meets. The causes of this are not far to seek.

The Conservative Party has been essentially the National Party. Its trade policy and its railway policy have been ide ntified with the

prosperity of the pe ople. It has had to main- tain its principles in the face of persistent and violent opposition, and though at the last moment the Liberal leader made a speech which his followers interpreted as an abandon- ment of the principles he had upheld for years, : people had deelared their want of confi-

GRIT BITTERNESS.

The Gazette continues:

The campaign has been fought by the Lib- erals with fiercest bitterness. tegard for truth and honor and the attributes of gentle- men were abandoned. Lies were deliberately concocted, slanders the most malignant dis- on every hand, appeals addressed

ninated

cel to the worst passions of the people, attempts made to array race against race and creed

A LARGE MAJORITY. The Montreal Witness (Independent Grit) says: “The result of the electien held over nearly

the whole Dominion on the 22nd ult., is that the Government has been sustained and that by a large majority. Their majority has been

reduced considerably, but not as greatly as the more reasonable among the prominent men of the party expected, including Sir John Macdonald himself. Some of them, indeed, expected nothing less than defeat. The Lib- erals were confident of victory. The cam- paign seemed to be all in their tavor. They were most active and determined. It was ‘Now or never’ with them. To-day, how- ever, though they acknowledge defeat, they do not accept the alternative of their ‘now.’”

STORMS AHEAD.

The Toronto Mail says: “To the question, Can the Covernment keep itself in power? no intelligent answer

can, of course, be returned at the present

time. In other days a majority ot five-and- twenty would have been sutfiicient, but just now, when great uneasiness is abroad, the

Premier will undoubtedly have a delicate task before him. It is clear, however, that should he fall, the Opposition would find itself in at least an equally difficult position; and we are therefore driyen to the conclusion that a stormy and unsettled period is in store for the country,’ LITTLE REASON TO BE CAST DOWN.

The Toronto Globe says :

‘‘ With the prospect of Sir Charles Tupper’s accession to the Rremiership at an early day it is quite within probability that the country will be delivered trom corruptionist rule long before the expiry of the term of the new Par- liament. We say to the Liberals of Canada that there is little reason to be cast down when we consider how much better is the position of the party than in the last Parliament, and how much improved its powers to work,for the public good.”
