5, LIBERALS NOW SCARED

, After naming some half dozen or more rewl or imaginary possible Uittlliltialcs for nomination at the coming Conservative nominating Convention, the Patriot declares "lt is a splendid tribute to the Dib- cral party to soc so many political aspirants in the ‘Conservative t: mp" l

llctice forward according to this n-ttuonltit: any out; who fl-nils him- pursuer with a club inhis hand may ro- garti the stilt-ndid tribute! This beats

kicked down stairs, declared it was no matter. as he was coming down anyway! q .lt is qiiito true that there are many (‘tinscrvatlvrvs who are pre- pared to go after the King Govern- mt-nt with a club. Tho party is ex- ceptionally rich in capable men and tho fact that so many of them are prepared to take up the cudgels at present is conclusive proof that there never was a more opportune time titan now to win the seats held by Liberal representatives. tr iltcrq were any doubts about the ri-stilt of the coming election thore would be fewer aspirants in the Conservative iranks. The fact is that the wiitiiv-‘country. including iunny former Liberals, is determin- ed that the lQlng Government must be driven mil/bug and baggage. lluncn the number of Conservative tnndidates who are ready to do the trick. . it is. of course, regrettable that, according to thelimiftitlons of our constttutlonu-onlyitwo men can be given the opportunltyof getting into the House of Commons from this county land the two will be duly

REV. PRINCIPAL FRASER FRO- TESTS.

Sir.—-May I halter my protest against being labelled “Modernlst" by many ardent Church Unionists. l have seen myself so characterised in newspapers from Prince Edward island to British Columbia. The fact that l am put in excellent com- pany only slightly mitigates the offence. l am fundamentalist and moder- nist when these _words are nct spelt with Capital letters; but am not a "Fundamentalist" or a “Modernit-it" in the sense in which these terms are being bandied about in the present acrimonious debate; and l hope, that those who have broughlt. my name into thadisl cussion will accept this caveat in the spirit in which it is offered. If during this distressing controversy they continue to classify me as “Modernist? they will be applying to me a label with a sinister dogm- atic signlftcnnce which I repudiate, and l shall regard them as guilty of an unjust and unbrotherly act. l am.

Mr. Christie of Alberton in which he states that the Pres- byterian Church in Canada from the first has bepn head“! for Union. (He docs not say "organic," though!) in support of his state- mcnt he gives an extract from a apt-sch delivered by the first moder- ator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, Dr. Cook, on June 15th. 1875, and reported in the Toronto Globe on 16th. June, 1875. Tluit is an unwarrantablc assump. tion in the present case. Dr. Cook was only expressing a persnnnl opinion on an important occasion. He was not expressing the consid- ered, resolved, official opinion of the -Church on "Organic" Union with other denominations.
