“In his reply to the address, the bishop soundly résented the insult offered by the Tories here in saying that he was a supporter of Sir Jolin Macdonald.”
In reply to this, Father E. J. Walsh, the parish priest at to the Globe °

Rowdyism Triumphaat.
Ture Patriot evidently rejoices in the fact that Sir Charles Tupper was pr vented by Grit rowdies from replying to the speech of Mr. Jones. the Drill Shed at Halifax on Friday night ;
Rowdyism was triumphant in
but will it be triumphant throughout Nova We All
respectable persons who love fair play and

Accord.
as follows :
‘* The scenes at the Tupper-Jones meeting last evening were unprecedented in this or any other Canadian city, but the trouble was ot unexpected. Indeed, it had been officially in timated that Tupper would not be heard in Hutifax. A regular brigade of Heelers, led by a yany of Grit ‘boodlers on the platform, had be-n organized to disturb the meeting, and if i prevent the Liberal-Conservative Chiettain from’ being heard. * The jam of people was immense ; every available position was taken up, and wherever a foot hold could be obtained it was occupied. There wasa large majority of Conservatives present. They were mostly on the south side ot the building. From half-past seven to eight o'clock it was a perfect babel otf confusion. When Tupper amd Jones stepped upon the platform they were vociferousiy cheered and hissed by their respective friends and opponents. The Grit heelers had beea organized and let loose, and afcer that commander-in-chief Jones himself could not control them, notwithstanding his e.torts to dvso. The heelers were there to prevent Tupper from being heard, and right royally did they do their work. Finally, Sin Charles’ voice rose above the Surore, and he made it understood that if order was not ob- tuined there would be no meeting, and that he wou.d leave. Mr. Joues reiterated what Sir Caarles had said, and added that he would leave with the Finance Minister. A -lull was thus obtained, and ‘Sir Charles commenced his address, but had only delivered a few sentences when the hubbub began again. While Grits hissed the Conservatives cheered and vice versa, But Sir Charles stood his ground, and made a point by remarking that it Mr. Jones’ friends had confidence in him they would not prevent him (Tupper) from dissecting Jones’ record, speech and policy. Sir Charles procceded with his speech amid interruptions renewed again and again. Sir Charles took up Jones’ lyceum speech, answer- ed personal attacks on himself, and his sons, and on Lady Macdonald, in a masterly man- ner, and brushed away the cobwebs spun by Mr. Jones, which, Sir Charles remarked, how- ever useful on the outside to catch flies, could

ruptions and shouts of ‘*Your time is up,’ ete., Mr. Jones rose to speak but could not be heard For some time the Conservatives were 80 ex- asperated at the treatment accorded Tupper that they naturally retallated in kind. The result was that the greatest disorder prevailed during Jones’ speech, which was delivered amid similar secnes of cheers, hisses and dis- turbances as Tupper had experienced. At its ‘lose the howling Grit mob absolutely refused to allow Tupper to reply, which, as Sir Char- les remarked, was the only protection Jones’ friends could give him from receiving a severe castigation at his (Tupper's) hands. After a youd deal of further wrangling and noise the meeting broke up.” With characteristic deceit the dear souls

Tus Grits claim that Sir Joht has abused the superannuation of members of the Civil | Service. By areturn made to Parliament we find that, on
an average, each man superannuated by Mr. McKenzie has drawn out of the Government $5,083, and paid in $137, being $37 to $100; whilst in Sir} John’s administration the average drawn

Ler the people remember that when Sir John came into power in 1878, Canada had only 6,484 miles of railway, while now we have nearly 12,000 miles, and the burden of the debt per head has not increased, and the credit of the country has increased from 6 below par on 4 per cent. bends to 7 above par on the same bonds.

A meeting was held in Orwell Cove Schoolhouse, on Wednesday, 27th Janyary, 1887, for the purpose of organization. After appointing Wm. Smith to the chair, the tollowing officers were electted :-—

MEETING AT PEAKES.
A large meeting was held at Peakes Station on Friday, which was addressed by the King’s County candidates and by Hon. S. Prowse and D. A. Macdonald, Esq. The Grits made a very poor impression on the audience by their cry of increased tax- ation and ruin. The people know they buy everything they require cheaper then- ever before. The Grit candidates begin to find they are steadily losing ground and_ that they have an up-hill fight against the in-
telligence of the peuple, and grow daily more reckless in their statements. Like
the drowning man grasping at a straw, they cling to every exploded story with the ten- acity begot of dispair. Messrs. Macdonald and Muttart are meeting with great success in their canvass, ant certain victory is the word all along the line.
MEETING AT HUNTER RIVER,
A meeting of the Liberal Conservative electors of the Hunter River Polling ‘Di- vision was held in the Hunter River Hall, | on Tuesday evening, the Ist inst., for the purpose of organization. The following of- ficers were elected :—President, Peter Mc- Grath; Vice-President, Richard E. Bagnall; Secretary and Treasurer, George H. Mc- Guigan; with an Executive Committee con- sisting of Richard Bagnall, William C. Smith, John Thos. Oxenham, Angus Camp- bell. John Meikle, John Andrews Ed- ward Proctor, Richard E. Bagnall, Archi- bald D. McPherson, Alexander McKay and Robert Stead After some very interesting remarks by Mr. Phillips, of the County, As- sociation, Charlottetown, Donald E. Camp- bell, John Meikle, Richard E. Bagnall and Alexander McKay, the President brought the meeting to a close, to meet again on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst.
We pay our taxes when we pay for our goods; goods are now cheaper than ever; con- sequently the burden of tax- ation is now practically lighter than ever.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Millner’s Prize Ash Sifter.
Srr,—You intimated, at the appropria- tion of this Sifter, that a short report would be in order when it was well tested. Sir, several weeks have now passed-—the Sifter having been in constant use, and from its first trial up to the present hour, it has more than accomplished all it laid claim to do. The disagreeable operation hitherto of sifting ashes was the only alternative to prevent a great waste of coal—now, in the use of this Sifter the horns of the dilemma are so reconciled that the desired saving is effected and the operation rather pleasing than otherwise. It grows in tavor every day it is used. It fills a want that nothing but itself can fill. I believe, sir, that there is nothing called Sifter that can equal it. It saves from every point of view. It saves dust. labor and coal. It gives more than entire satisfaction.
Yours truly, Epwarp C. McCatiro.

How is It?
S1rr,— How is it that we are not to have! any more letters from the versatile pen of Hon. D. Davies on Annexation until after the election? It seems to me that the time is appropriate to discuss this subject. Probably Mr. L. H. Davies has put his foot
down, for fear that his uncle Daniel’s dis-
loyal and pro-Yankee proclivities might |
prejudice his chances of election. ELxctor. Belfast, Feb. 4, 1887.
