Tur Patriot seems to be satisfied that the Local Premier acted a gentlemanly and courteous part in denying to Mr. Brecken the privilege of addressing the assembled electors for five minutes from the platform erected at his expense! The Patriot is, no doubt, an authority in matters of taste and The Putriot insists upon the pri- H. Davies and his courtesy. vate right of Mr. L. friends to have a one-sided meeting in the Drill Shed, because they had rostrum therein. The doubt, a nice one. Still, a majority of the electors present, by invita- tion of the Grits, were of opinion that the concession asked by Mr. Brecken was not wnreasonable—in view of the fact that the Ministers were present to secure, if possible, Mr. Brecken’s discomfiture and defeat in what should be a fair and square contest. Invited guests surely have some privileges. What host would be so rude as to refuse the reasonable request of a majority of per- sons he had invited to nis house? The Peo- ple (with a big P.) surely have some right to consideration at a public mecting. The People (or at least four-fifths of them) de- sired to hear Mr. Brecken for five minutes- The men who invited them refused to ac- ceed to the request. Would they not have done better; would they not have shown more respect for the desires of their invited guests; would they not have acted with greater courtesy if they had acceeded to the Who is there so rude as will say erected a question is, no very decided request / no”? — 0 -- e— —————- The Ministers at Moncton. Or the Ministers’ arrival at Moncton the Times says:—‘‘Here a magnificent spectacle met their delighted gaze—a spectacle that the military eye of the lamented Vail would have rejoiced to look upon. Arrayed in orderly disorder upon the platform were a score or more of officials, whose arduous duties had been suspended for the oecasion, and not less than half adozen of the in- dependent electors of Westmoreland. This immense concourse was all the more com- plimentary to the Grit missionaries from the fact that only one of the six electors be- longed to their church, the other five being heretics and followers of one John A. Mac- donald. Mr. Cartwright was escorted to the platform by the Premier, and Mr. Mac- kenzie by the Minister of Finance, and thence, gnided by the “‘predatory instincts of the Higlandman,” the procession moved toward the restaurant, where haggis was served in a style so satisfactory to the Premier that he at once determined that Mr. Sangster should have charge of the Government Hotel at Neebing as soon as the slabs which have blown off the roof can be replaced. The Sun has the following on their arrival n St. John :— ‘The special train arrived, and Messrs. McKenzie, Cartwright and Brydges, the Unpopular, arrived with it. But there was no ‘* crowd” to meet the distinguished visit- ors. There were not twenty persons at the Station when they arrived, including Messrs. Burpee, DeVeber and other leading Grits. ‘The Liberals of the ‘Town of Port- land were principally conspicuous by their absence, and whatever in the form of a de- monstration was expected at their hands was unfortunately missing when it was most wanted.” *—_—om + - McKenzie and Cartwright. ae A GENTLEMAN who was present at the meeting at Summerside on Tuesday after- noon, says that, being in a prominent place, he counted the number of people, and that he had to include the speakers and the bandsmen to make up three hundred; that there was absolutely no enthusiasm ; that at seven (7) o’clock there was acry for Pope, which showed that ten (10) to one (1) were in his favor. But, to prevent his being heard, the Grits adjourned the meeting, which, however, did not prevent their giv ing three rousing cheers for Sir John. The band and a number of boys escorted the Grit Ministers and their followers to te Clifton House, whence they were to. | a@:company them to the boat in the morn- ing. But, when the band arrived at the hotel in the morning as arranged, it was / party, =) ee found that the party had sneaked off during the night, a good deal disgusted with their prospects in Prince Edward island. ea rem Grit Ingenuity. Wren the affairs of Canada were man- aved by Sir John A. MeDonald and his ater} .

The following, from the Herald, will ex- plain the contrivance : ‘© On Friday evening last some thirty-two more men were ‘‘ dismissed” from the Rail- way Department at Halifax. While in the Department these men had no votes. Of course not being any longer in the tailway Department their electoral privileges re- The arrangement is a very simple vive. one. The men are ‘« dismissed’’—for a month. They will get no salary—for a month. They will not be taken back—for a month. They are therefore placed in a position to swear that they are not in Gov- ernment employ; that they have not re- ceived any pay, and so on. It is a very In- genious arrangement. It is a very corrupt arrangement. It is an arrangement which reflects intense discredit on Mr. McKenzie, with whose knowledge it must have been done, and upon Mr. Jones, who must have advised it. Itshows the public what des- perate attempts these men will make at their last ditch.” Can Grit raseality go any further / _—.-- —_—— City Council.

Carried. Arthur O’ Neill was re appointed inspector of bread.

It was ordered to be laid on the table un- til the report of the Finance Committee is received.

John Robertson and others. On the School Question I voted for these gentlemen, and did my _ ut- most io —sihave them returned; but to-day 1 find that these men are acting like political demagogues and be-; traying the trust which myself and other Liberal-Conservatives have placed in them. o-morrow morning 1 would use my influ- ence to have them driven from office, not for what they have done to-day, but because of their incompetency. They unjustly taxed the country. They have disregarded every wish of the electors. They burdened the [sland with a huge Lunatic Asylum far too large and costly for this Colony ; and have altogether mismanaged the affairs of the country. Never has such an incompetent set of men ruled as those whom I have inentioned. The Minister of Public Works was in this meeting to-night and I care not if he here now.

Had the steamboat trains, which arrived at Summerside at 9 a. m., returned with the mail, we should be in receipt of it at noon. Our citizens, owing to the negligence of some of our offi- ciais, were compelled to remain four and a half hours longer than necessary.
