copate, which shoull put the quietus on every Grit maligner of Sir John Macdonald on this subject :-—

‘*) have the honor to be well acquainted with Sir John A. Macdonald, Premier of the Dominion, and we have frequently exchanged courtesies by friendly visits to each other. Ayainst him or his Government I shall not say one word. He has never, to my knowledge, been an enemy tw the Catholics. He has often spoken well of us, and done good services to us ; and in the present ‘No Popery’ crusade he has openly and publicly, again and again, repudiated the leading organ of the policy of atrocious slander and legal perseeution of the Catholic religion. Understand me, therefore, in having no reference in this pastoral to Sir John’s Government or the elections for the Dominion Parliament.”

Who then is to speak for the Catholics of Ontario—Mr. Blake or Bishop Cleary / Which will carry most weight with the Catholics of P. E. Island, the unscrupulous member for Queen’s, or the learned Bishop of the diocese of Kingston ?

A ST

THE CAMPAIGN.

FORT AUGUSTUS.

We learn that the meeting held at Fort Augustus, on Saturday afternoon was decidedly stormy. Mr. L. H. Davies, it is said, so far forgot himself as to call Mr.

Ferguson a liar, and Mr. Welsh said that Mr. Ferguson bore the mark of Cain. When = gentlemen, practised parristers and experienced

campaigners, make use of the language of fishwives, we are safe in concluding that the battle is against them—they are getting the worst of the argument!

Suppose that Mr. Ferguson had made a statement not strictly correct, how easy it would have been to demonstrate the fact to intelligent electors of Fort Augustus, and how faverable would have been the impres- sion conveyed by Mr. Davies. Mr. Davies is not wanting in power of expression ; why didn’t he demonstrate Mr. Ferguson's mendacity? He could not do so; and herefore he resorted to bad language.

SUMMERSIDE. A correspondent atSummerside writes :—

Politics is the standing order here just now. Since Pope’s palmy days we have had no such enthusiasm and unanimity im the Liberal-Conservative Party. It is well organized throughout the County. Lefurgey and Hackett will hold a series of meetings commencing at Tignish on Tuesday next. They will meet with a splendid reception everywhere. The people want to hear them. They give them facts, and easily prove that no political party ever went to the country with a better record, while not one of the predictions made by the Grits at the last election has come to pass. They then told the people that the National Policy would create monopolies, and pre- vent outside competition; that the cost of all the necessaries of life would be increas- ed, and placed beyond the means of the poorer classes, that mowing machines and agricultural implements would cost one third more; that the C. P. R., could not be built, or if it was, it would ruin the coun- try.

THE PEOPLE JUDGE FOR THEMSELVES. They know that goods of all descriptions, including agricultural implements, were never as cheap, and that the building of the C. P. R. has increased the value of the country one hundred times more than the cost, while, owing to the judicious manage- ment of the Liberal-Conservative Party it has not added one dollar to the people's taxes ; and in addition to this, Mr. McKen- zie contended, whan the Cape Traverse Branch Railway was in discussion before Parliament,that the Dominion had previous to that, done all that could be done to fulfill the terms in reference to winter communication, and that they had done very well by the Island and Mr. Blake subsequently complained that the Island was costing millions of dollars more than it contributed. The electors knew that the Sir John Macdonald Government has since built the Cape Traverse Branch Railway,

assisted the Cape Tormentine and Sackville Railway, and made _ im- provements in the means of

crossing at Cape Traverse satisfactory to the people at the Cape, the travelling com- munity, and those interested in the mails everywhere, besides spending a large umount of money in piers, breakwaters, public buildings and other works; and it is weil known that the addition to the subsi- dies which the Local Government has se- cured {rom year to year has been the means of preventing the tax gatherer from resum- ing his rounds. Yes. The people study their owa interests to well to think of abandoning the Conservative party who have used them well, for the unreliable proniises of the Grit candidates? Vote for Hackett and Lefurgey. KING'S COUNTY.

Advices concerning the campaign in King’s County indicate that there will be a grand rally of voters in favor of Sir John Macdonald and the Liberal-Conservative vandidates. Large meetings have been held at Souris, North Lake and Glencoradale, at which stirring speeches were delivered by Macdonald and Muttart, and John McLean, Esq.

KING'S COUNTY LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE SOCIATION.

A special meeting of the Liberal- Conservative Association of King’s County, was held in the old court house in George- town, on Friday, the 21st inst., for the purpose of furthering the interests of the Liberal-Conservative party in this County. The president having taken the chair, and after stating, in a few well chosen remarks, the object of the meeting, proceeded to read letters from Dr. Muttart, A. C. Macdonald and Hon. Samuel Prowse, in which those gentlemen explained their imability to attend the meeting of the Association.

Hon. W. W. Sullivan, being present, was called upon to address the meeting. Mr. Sullivan, on rising, said that owing to his identification with a portion of King’s County for a considerable time in public life, he deemed it his duty to attend this meeting of the Association, and render Whate:e: assistance he was able to the Conservative cause at the ensuing election, which he considered to be the most important period of the history of this Province. He referred to the progress made by the Dominion Government in carrying out the terms of Union in regard to winter communication,“the building of the bratich railway to Cape Traverse, at a

Government if returned as were those of | British Columbia by the construction of the | C. P. Railway. He referred to the fiscal | policy of the Government and the course ir vursued regarding the execution of Riel, in | which he declared that it was his opinion— founded on the evidence at his trial—that | if ever a man wasdeserving of death that man | was Riel. He spoke on reciprocity, the fisheries and the other great questions that are engaging the public mind of the Domir- | ion, and urged the delegates present, and through them the electors of their respect- | ive districts to exert all their energies, and | stand as a solid phalanx in support of; the Conservative candidates at the ensuing | contest. Mr. Sullivan’s eloquent and in structive address, which occupied upwards of an hour, was listened to with marked astention, and on resuming his seat he was loudly cheered.

Messrs. McKay and Cowan, from Mur- ray Harbor, wished to know Mr. Sullivan’s reason for declining to accept the nomm- ation for King’s County on the 16th Dee. In reply Mr. Sullivan stated that at the time of tle convention, Mr. Ferguson and he were in Ottawa pleading the cause of this Province before the Cabinet of the Deminion, and as_ those claims had not at the time of the convention been

a ljusted, he would consider himself recreant to the trust which the electors of this Pro- vinee had reposed in him had he at that stage of their mission allowed himself to be placed in nomination, not knowing at the time of the Convention the successful result of the delegation. Having taken that course in the intsrest of the Local Admin- istration and the people who, for so long a time, had placed such implicit confidence in him, he was prepared to render all the assistance which lay in his power to the Conservative candidate.

Dr. McIntosh, Murray River, considered it the duty of Liberal-Conservatives to sink all minor differences—if any did exist —and stand shoulder to shoulder in behalf of the nominees of the party. He believed the past course of the Government clearly indi- eateu that inthe return of the Liberal- Conservative party depends the progress and prosperity of the Dominion of Canada.

Messrs. G. F. Owen, Robert Livingstone, Mooney, French, Edmonds, Munn and othors addressed the meeting, and it was moved by the Secretary, second- ed by John French and _ carried unanimously, that the Hon. W. W. Sullivan and Samuel Prowse be requested to attend the public meetings during the ensuing campaign.

Moved by Dr. MelIntosh, seconded by Samuel Macdonald, Esq., Dundas, and carried unanimously, that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to Mr. Sullivan for his attendance at the meeting.

Mr. Sullivan,in acknowledging the thanks of the Association,said he considered it to be his duty to attend and render what assist- ance he could to the party in this County.

The President, having expressed his pleasure at such a large number of electors assembling at his call, thanked them for the honor thus conferred on him, and an- ticipated a happy result of the coming con- test. This brought the meeting to a close.

The Civic Election.

A Crry correspondent writes: The elec- tion on Wednesday next will, we trust, be conducted in the best interests of the city, regardless of party or faction of any kind. The question of water works by city owner- ship and not by private company is now settled; nothing, therefore, remains but to elect practical men to the Council Board, who will give effect to the well exjressed ; wishes of citizens generally.

The resignation of W. E. Dawson, Esq., as candidate for the oftice of Mayor in favor of the Hon. Mr. Haviland, is, on the part of Mr. Dowson, a graceful act, which reflects much credit on that gentleman, showing as it does, that he is actuated solely by the best possible motives,—the securing for the people of this city the inestimable boon of a water supply, regardless of ail other issues,
