The party that Hackett and Lefurgey sup- port is th x¢ party that adopted the ‘No Popery Cry,” and defeated the Catholic ebureh, and excluded Catholics from any part in Parliament. The party that Hackett and Lefurgey support is a grain of the same party that cou‘lucted affairs when our ancestors were expatriated from the time of Acadia; a grain of the same party which, having decided to pillage the houses and animals of our fathers, filled up eight vessels with men and sent them to sea and drowned them. ar party that Hackett and Lefurgey support the party led by Sir John, whose organ t said that the palace of the Pope is the only place on the earth where murder is publicly glorified —that Archbishop Lynch is ready to sell the Catholic vcte; the y that admits that the Catholic C hurch is Pal of mjuries towards the country, and that Catholic influence in the legislature and in matters of education ought to be absolutely abolished. The party which Haékett ‘and | Leiurgy support is the same which has sliown | its disposition to wipe out the French— the ey which has said that the fecundity of mch Canadians and their intolerance are obstacles to British supremacy. The party that Hackett and Lefurgy support to-day is that party which, by its maladministration | and criminal negligence has provoked, caused | and excited the ee which range demand that has sacrificed Riel on the! seailo.d of Regma to please the Orange ‘‘Mo- | och,” because he was a Canadian of extraction and a Catholic.

Ferguson & Campbell in Capital Form ee AND CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. SHORT ADDRESSES BY Messrs. Stewart, into, Mellish, Haviland, WeNetll Carvell, McKay and Doyle. Cheers for the Candidates, W. E. Dawson, Ese., presided at the meeting held in the Lyceum last evening. On the platform were the people's candi- dates, Messrs. Ferguson and Campbell, Hon. lr. H. Haviland, Mayor of the City; Hen. Senator Carvell; Hon. Neil Patrick Blake, Esq., M. P. P;; of Stanley Bridge and Mr. Charles Minto, of Montreal. The cauJdiJates were in high spirits and | in capital form. It was remarked that Messrs. Ferguson & Campbell were both in | better trim than when they began the cam- paign—an evident and convincing proof | that they have been well received by the | people of Queen’s County and that they have obtained assurance of the popularity | and success of their candidature. The chairman explained, at the outset, that the committe had hoped that the same courtesy which had been extended by, Messrs. Ferguson & Campbell to the Op- | position candidates would have been ex-! tended by the Oppvusition candidates to Messrs. Ferguson & Campbell. But ne- | gotiation to that end had failed. the following letters :- Liberal-C mservative Committee Rooms, Charlottetown, 12th February, 1887, | | | H. C.

We are, Yours truly, P. BLAKE. G, D LONGWoRTH. Charlottetown, tith February, 1887. Messrs. P. Blake and G. D. Longworth. GENTLEMEN,—In reply to your letter of Satur- day evening, I am instructe to siate an answer | cannot be given until the return of the Ca. di- dates this evening. Yours truly, H. C. MACDONALD, Secretary ILicform Association, Mr. FERGUSON was received | with applause. He said he would have infinitely preferred to have again met his oppouents for the pur- puse of discussing the questions at issue before the electors of Charlottetown. While in the country he had heard that ar- rangements were being made to that end, bat that Mr. Davies objected to speaking before him. His reply was that he was quite willing to. speak before Mr. Davies or after him, or at any time to suit Mr. Davies’ convenience. He was prepared to discuss the _ issue with Mr. Davies on any terms. Mr. Ferguson then referred to some of the s}questions raised by Messrs. Davies and Welsh, and disposed of them in a vigorous and effective manner. The charge that the Government had broken its promise in the matter of representation in the Cabinet, he met by pointing out the fact that this Pro- vince was represented in Sir John Macdon- ald’s Administration by the late Hon. J. C. Pope, and the promise was not renewed at thé election of 1882; and he retorted upon M?. Davies with crushing effect by calling to mind the bogus telegram from Mr. Mac- kenzie, read by Mr. Davies during the cam- paign of 1877--in which it was promised that the Island should have representation Northwest Rebellion ; the | ignored all to consent to the| in the Cabinet if only the right man (i. ¢., Mr. William Welsh) were elected. Mr. Ferguson read the following quotation from Hansard, which ee for itself :— 1 Mr. Pope. (Queen's, P. E1L,) °° . ‘Soon after Mr. Cara. ‘was iattented, to the bi eutenant-Governor-hip of the North-West and ion previous to the election to fllihe place thus ftLvacant, it was rumored in Pripee bdward 1 ts lan‘ that the seat was notto be given to au) me mber irom Prince Edwerd Island, and conse- quently there was a yood deal of dissatisfac ion there Joallay that, the Dominion law age: | = iblicly stated there that it was not the intention fthe present administration to deprive Prince ea tward Ls! and of its seat in the Cabinet, bu’ that on the other hand if the e!ecturs of Queen’ 3 Coun ty would retuen a good man to support the Gov- ernment and fiil that position, the seat in the Cabinet would still be given to that Province. Aday or two after this stacement was made, the | seat in the Cabinet was filled by the present Win ister of tbe interior, A few days Jater another: vacaney ccurred inthe Cabinet by the retire- ment of Mr. Ge ff-ion. and the law azeut agvi: made a statement to the evect thai there “was anather vacancy in the Cabinet, aud ifthey woul Wition, that scat would be given to Prince Ed w ara L lend.” ** Mr. M: swckeazie said that it was nota oonve- niet tine to di-cuss the question whether it Wao nb cessary Gial every Province should have a re” p cseniacve in the Cabinet or net. It was toc lite in theday foran hon. gentleman to com orward, three years after the general elect 1. and disen-s proceedings cons quent upon th action of the é Vernmeut in 1873. It was. 10 sa’ the least, onuenal in that quarterof Canada whatever it i ight be inthe Province in which the hon. member resided. He had merely to say with regard to the hon. mentber’s observations :- First, that the Governmeat bas no legal azent ir Prince Edward I land, and, seeond, that no am! te ruin and <k was it | Davies would exert himself more earnestly ; both SS Ne et nee _—e THE DAILY EXAMINER, | 8 ee ee arene Ww E DNESDA Xs He cave the statement a flet contradiction ; nor naiieian Sayings of Grit Leadert. did it oceur with any gentleman of an Prov ince ia the Dominion. He would scorn to bea party to such a transaction as the hon, eentioman in- sinuated: and he was amazed that the hon. gen tieman had such alow opinion of public men as to think any of thein would be guilty of it. The hon, gentleman had said that Mr. Laird was & man of no opens and soif he had sold himself | the price should be be paid. That hon, wmonieer might gt his own price when he sold himself Let him leave other people alone. Such had, no | doubt, been his practice when selling himself.” Mr. Ferguson then dealt with Blake's backdown on the N. P., and his attempt to ride into power on the policy of the Gov- ernment—and in direct opposition to the views expressed throughout this country by | Mr. Davies. The sugar question, as pre- sented by Mr. Welsh, was disposed of by referring to the facts and figures set forth in the blue books. Mr. Ferguson, pointed out that less tax was collected from sugar in 1885 than in 1878—though the consump- tion of sugar has of necessity largely increased,—that of the 95,000,000 pounds of sugar imported in 1878 only 12, 600, 000 came direct from the places of production, while in 1885, of 194,000,000 of sugar im- ported no less than 176, 000,000 caine direct from the sugar producing countries. Mr. Ferguson refuted the charges of corruption preferred against the Government, proved that the Mackenzie Government was the great sipner in respect to timber limits, etc.; and defied the Opposition candidates to prove that any Conservative had obtain- ed land grants or complying with the rules and regulations by which every applicant is bound. Mr. Ferguson said that never before had Liberal Conservatives obtained a reception so cor- dial and hearty as had been accorded to himself and his colleague; and while ap- pealing to the electors of Charlottetown to stand by the party of union and progress, which is bound to triumph throughout Canada, he expressed bis confidence that the decision of Queen's County would be favorable, Mr. Campnect followed with a stirring and enthusiastic speech. He expressed his regret that the Opposition had shown the white feather, and referred to Mr. Davies’ ideep-set objection to having Mr. Ferguson i follow him mn the course of discussion. He | po nted out the inconsistencies of the Op- McLeod; ! Dr. McNeil! | position candidates and their leader, and contrasted some of the Grit predictions of ‘spair with the results as shown to-day. From his canvass of the County, he was convinced that every district in it would poll a majority for himself and his colleague. It was hoped by the Grits ‘that the Railw: Ly officials would not support he asked, that Mr. Mr. Fergusor and himself ; but, reasonable to suppose or successfully in behalf of the workingmen than Mr. Ferguson and himself, who are workingmen. He appealed to the clectors to stand shoulder to shoulder in support of Sir John Macdonald and the | Party of Union and Progress, from whom ‘only they could expect to obtain the Sub- | way or any other great ;ublic improvement. JAMES STeWAk?T, Esg., of Point Prim was He read | ¢a)le | upon,and in a brief address expressed his belief, from what he knew of Belfast, that the Liberal-Conservative candidates would carry a majority out of that district. In estimating the result of furmer elections ‘he had net been far from the inark, and he felt sure that his words would be borne out , by the result on the 22nd. Mr. Cuaries Minto (from Montreal) was present, and in response to the invi- tation of the Chairman, came forward and stated the result of his observations in Nova Scotia to be that the so-called Repeal Pro- vince would return fourteen or tifteen men to support Sir John Macdonald. Mr. Minto went over the counties in detail. Proressor MELusH delivered a_ short pointed speech in which he dealt for the most part with the trade question ; and ap- pealed to the electors to support the Party | whose fixed and determined policy is to promote the development of this great new country. Hon. T. H. Haviranp then came for- ward and delivered a rousing speech. It is needless now, he contended, to discuss the question of Free Trade vs. Protection, for Mr. Blake has hauled down his Free Trade colors. Rather, he thought, we should sympathize with Mr. Davies, who, so far as that question is concerned, has been left in the lurch by his leader. Who was so likely as Sir John to settle satisfactorily the Fisheries difficulty. It was he to whom the country was indebted for the Washington Treaty which the Grit party had opposed tooth and nail. And it is he on whom the hopes of the future are centred for the settlement of the vexed question which has arisen as a result of the abrogation of the Fishery clauses of that Treaty by the Government of the Un ted States. Mr. Haviland referred to the wonderful success of the Government's Canadian Pacific Railway Policy by which a great trans-continental railway had been built, while the burden of taxation is precisely the same to-day as it was in 1279, viz: $1.59 per head—and the credit of the ccuntry is higher than ever, and prices uf imported goods are cheaper than ever. He appealed to the electors to stand shoulder to shoulder in support of the party of union and progress. P. E. Island, he said, expects every man to do his duty. Dr. MecNeirti followed with a short speech, in which he showed that in the in- terests of both capital and labor, it is neces- sary for the electors to uphold the Govern- ment of Sir John McDonald; and he calied upon the eleetors of Queen’s ‘County to do their duty at this crisis. Senator CaRvELt followed with a brief review of the snake like conturtions of Mr. Blake respecting the National Policy, and graphic description of the dastardly tac- tica resorted to by the Opposition to injure the grand old chief of the Liberal Conser- vative party, whuim they can not defeat by fair means. Dovatp MokKay, Ese., of Oyster Bed Bridge, reported that the second district of Queen's County would give a good account of itself. Tromas Doruz, bsg., of Rustico, review- ed the conduct of Mr. L. H. Davies in timber limits, without” Zarliament, pointing out the folly of voting | ora man who had failed to redeem his. vledged word that he would bring the claim of this Province to a share of the Fishery \ward toa vote in Parliament, and con- rasting his conduct in Parliament with hat of the late Hon, J. C. Pope, while he vas in Opposition, The meeting broke up at a late hour, } Ts Undersigned would beg to inform the citi- vith ringing cheers for Ferguson and Camp- | yell and for the Queen. poy FORGET THE SU co ais |W AW PU re Borat pl What Blake says :— “ Ontsrio is rebbed for the benefit of the Smaller and Poor- er Provinces.” What Sir Richard says : “ And it will be further seen that the bulk of the expendi- ‘dure, I may say every shilling of the expenditure on _ the Northwest and on the Pacitie Railway is contributed by the Province of Ontario, from which I have the honor to come.” What M. C. Cameron says :— “ We have in Ontario to build our own railroads, and are tax- ed for building roads in the Eastern Provinces. If we lived in those provinces, our railroads would be built out of the public funds. In 1884 the Govern- ment local railroads in the East- ern Provinces eost $8,000,000. He protested. Sir Richard again : “In short, but for the unfor- tunate mistake committed in 1875 by our assumption of the Provincial debts, and some other pieces of extravagance ofa like character, which you will do me the justice to remember I op- posed to the very utmost of my power, I would feel very little fear of any considerable defal- vation in our income in any event,” Electors of Prinee Edward Island, what think you of the tone and spirit and ver- acity of these Grit Leaders?
