The increased expenditures of to-day are due. in part, to the increased interest on $45,000,006 added to the public debt by Sir Richaid Cartwright, and, in part. to

}the working of 410 miles more railway,

to the establishment of hundreds of new post offices in the North West and the older Provinces, to the handseme grants which have been made to open up and de- v-lop the whole country, ete., and increase its revenues.

Unanimity of Feeling and Action

AN enthusiastic meeting of the Junior Liberal-Conservative Club of this city was held last evening. It was largely attended and after the transaction of rontine busi- nes was wddressed by E. J. Hodgson, E-q., Q. ‘:, and Senator Carvell.

Mr. Hodgson’s addcess was excellent He first dealt with the ohj:ct of the club, showing its wembers in a clear and forcible manner that they were net only working for the purpose of electing Liberal Conser- vative candidates in Queen’s County, but for the vinsication w#nd approval cf the wigerons end suecessful administration of the great Liveral-Coiservative Party of Canada. The fight will be a glorious one; ind he felt as sure the Liberal-Conserva- tive Porty woul tbe r turned to power with t large majority, as he was sure the svn would rise to-morrow. He thn reviewed the success of the Government in construct- ing that great highway. the Pacific Railway and corrying out the National Policy. He clearly showed the ability of the present Administration to grapple with these grea! questions, and contrasted their oppon: nts inability to deal successfully with these or other great questions, Then 1e- terhing to the candidates in the field, he asked the young men of the Province to be mindful ot the dastardly attempt made by Laird, McIutyre and Yeo, to steal away their rights as freemen, avd reduce them tu the position of Southern slaves before they were emancipated by Abraham Lincoln. This matter was not, he said, a dead issue ; bot was frech in the minds of every one, and wou'd nut easily be forgotten. Aftef a brief enlogium of the public career of Hon. J. ©, Pope, and a tonching reference to his present illness, Mr. Hodgson resumed his seat, amidst enthusiastic applanse,

SENATOR CaRvELL wes well received, and delivered a brief and well pointed adoress. He first showed up the flimsivess of the *xcuses made by the McKenzie Govern- ment to keep the Island ont of representa- non in the Cabinet, afrer it had been deserted by Hon. David Laird. “ If you elect a proper man,” said McKenzie, ‘* we will give him a seat.” This, to say the leasi, was not very complimentary to Senator Haythrne, who had previously led a G vernment, composed of Laird, Davies and others. ly wasasirong hint th«t Me- Kenzie believed he was not fit to take the seat. After disposing of this matter, he alluded to the course pursued by McKen- zie aud his friends, with reference to tle Cape Traverse Railway. It has been stated

of that Railway was an eiection dodge. He was in a position to say that the statement was false ; the Railway will be constructed. During the last session, when the amount for its consiruction was placed in the esti-

RADE IS FOR US IMPOSSIBLE,” it must not moment that Mr. Brecken has the slightest confidence in Mr. Blake as a politician. Like Mr. L. Hi. Davies, his follower, Mr. Blake 1s a fine

Vho Did the Most?

Tae Patriot asks what Mr. Brecken has dove for his. constituents during the last four years? Mr, Brecken has done a good deal for Queen's County. He got $27,000 for improvements at Rustico Harbour, a large sum fur Wood Islands and New Lon- don breakwaters, a subsidy for a steamer between hereand Hurope, and many other improvements and advaniages for the County.

Bat what did Mr. Laird ard his friends do for the Couaty, during the five years they were in power? Their time seems to have been taken up with the attempt to disfranchise the young men of P. E. Island, aud extinguish the gas lamps in tront ef the Post Office. We ask the Matrivt to pomt to “ne si gle good thing Mr. Laird did for his constituents to earn the $65,000 he re ceived of their money.

An Unpl.asing Record.

Tue facets of Mr. Laird’s record, and Mr. Davies’ political career, are not pleasing even to the editors of the Grit papers. To reca'l these facts is, they say, in THE EXAMINER, Shameful. But they cannot eved» the force of the facts. They can not deny that Mr, Laird deceived Belfast. for if tiey did every man in Belfast would cry ont in protest egainst them They cannot get rid cf the fact that Mr. Laird played fast and loose, to suit his vwno selfish purposes, with the school question,” for the records of the country establish it. They cannot, with all their unserupulous sophistry, escape apy of the charges in which, as politicians, Messrs. baitd and Davies are implicated by Tau Examiner. We challenge them to do so if they can But they cannot do soe, because the charges are true, and because tle facts are fresh in the memories of a large proportion of our peuple.

Complimentary addresses. such as those of which Mr. Laird was the recipient, are easily obtained.
