Electors, in the country, do not pay any attention to, the wiles of the enemy. Poll your votes for Pope and Breecken. Tur paragraph in Tuesday’s issue, in reference to Mr. R. T. Tolman, we find on inquiry is slightly inacenrate. The rooms of the Grit committee are not in Mr. Hol- man’s warehouse, but in the house immedi- ately opposite. The two buildings are, it is suid, joined together by a hemp rope, bearing the mottoes which we mentioned, painted on flags suspended from it. We regret the insertion of the paragraph. A corresponpent at Mount Stewart —_whose able letter we regret that we can- not publish in full to-day—says that “‘ the prospects of the Liberai-Conservatives in both King’s and Queen’s County, are most encouraging.” He gives this bis of good advice to electors: ‘‘ Go manfully to the polls on the 17th, and vote for the Liberal- Conservatives who, depend upon it, are your true friends.” Me. Anciin said that Prince Edward Island owes to Mr. Pope and his associate delegates a debt of ** undying gratitude” for obtaining for its people $25,000 a year in addition to the first terms of Confeder- ation. An opportunity of paying that debt will be atforded on Tuesday next. Then, send Pope up to Ottawa with five suppor- ters at his back. —<_--- The Party of Purity. The Toronto Globe, with sublime efiront- ery, says that the Reform Party has strug- gled, out of oftice and in office, for pure elections, and it was chiefly owing to their efforts that the Judges were entrusted with te task of trying contested cases. The fol- lowing are the Judges’ decisions as to some of the Reformers whose cases they tried :— Name. Constituency. Penalty. Walker......- Egmdon......-->- Disqualified.

Ch'town, Sept. 7, 1878. - _—-_om se! To the Liter of the Hramimer. Sir,—In this morning’s issue of the Patriot an anonymous correspondent attempts to ques- tion the accuracy of your paragraph in yester- day’s issue in reference to the remarks made by Hon. D. Davies. I think that if you were inaccurate, the editor ofthe Patriot, who was present, could himself have made the denial, and not require the services of an unknown scribbler. { may say that your report was quite correct, and this the Patriot well knows. Yours, traly, ANOTHER WIlO0 WAS PRESEN’, Ch’town, Sept. 12, 1575. o> To the Editor of the Examiner: Dear Str,—Unserupulous Grit office holcd- ers and would-be statesmen when on their canvassing excursions, assert in the most em phatic manner and apparently without fear of contradiction, that if Nir John is returned to power at the coming election, those obliged to buy flour will have to pay from one to two alinrs per barrel more for that article than they at present do—that they will have to pay from twenty-tive to thirty-five cents on every dollar's worth of dutiable goods imported into the Dominion; and all, as they say, *‘for the benefit of a few Ontario manufacturers.” Now, Mr. Editor, any man of ordinary intelligence can see that the above arguments are, to use a mild expression, nothing but unmitigated nonsense, and are used for the sole purpose of frightening the electors, and, if possible, to gain votes. The policy of Sir John and his followers, from British Columbia to P. E. Is- land, is most undoubtedly in favor of the poor man. ‘Their policy is to place the poor man on an equality with the rich—to distribute the burdens of taxation in such a way tha these Maritime Provinces will pay no more than their reasonable share —to foster, as far as practible, our struggling industries, which are in imminent danger of being completely ruined by our American friends—to promote Inter-provincial trade, and thus umite the different Provinces of our Dominion coimimer- cially, a8 well as politically—in short, a policy that, while it will raise sufficient revenue, to carry on =the Government of the country, will give fairplay to all parts of the Dominion and favor to none. ‘Chis, Mr. Editor, is the policy of the Liberal-Conservatives from one end of the Dominion to the other, and is the policy which every elector shonl i vote in favor of on the 17th. Yours, &e., ANT? Garner, Meeting at Springton. To the Editor of the Examiner :-— Srr,—As a farmer elector and re ident of Lot 67, and being present at Springton ineet- | ing on Monday night last, | beg leave to send | you the true statement of the meeting. It was | as follows (and not as the foul reporter No. 2 of the Puiriot would have people believe), viz. | A very large number of electors were present. The meeting was opeued by appointing M. Lamont, Esq., to the chair. The formality of | appointing a Secretary was dispensed with, so that we here in Springton would have an | opportunity of testing Mr. Lawson No, 2 of the Patriot in reference to his honesty, etc., giving a report of the meeting. Mr. Brecken | was first to speak, as Mr. Sinclair declined leading. Mr. Brecken spoke very clearly and | most powerfully. He preferred the strongest ! charges of mismanagement against Mr. Mc- | Kenzie’s Government. His speech took well. He was often cheered during his speech, which was listened to with great attention. In al- luding to Mr. Cartwright’s slander on our peo- le, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. MeGill, Donald Me- Kenzie, Esq., and Alex. McPherson, a school | teacher from Brookfield, seemed to get scare’, | In fact, they all at once got wrathy and inter- rupted the speaker by saying that GC. W. How- lan slurred the people of Rona, Uigg and. Rasa in this Island on a former occasion. But’! what had Mr. Brecken to do with that ? his best speeches on the defensive. He was | attentively listened to, but miserably failed to | clear up any of the charges so clearly preferred | against his obseqvions legis‘ation, Ke. Mr. Pope was loudly and wildly called for. | He spoke two hours and a half—and to the) point. He fully exposed the incapacity of the McKenzie Government. He dealt sore blows to our Island Representatives. He read copies of letters from and to Lieut. Governor Robin- son in regard to confederation, which has, without any doubt, placed him, in our estima- | tion, a statesmen of the highest standing. He was most enthusiastically cheered throughout | his long speech by, at least, two-thirds of the meeting; and,he will be supported in that pro- portion by us on election day, without split- ing our votes, as we first intended. We are ‘now convinced, and will give the square vote ‘for Pope and Brecken; and, our reason is, that ‘they are, by far, the ablest and best men; and, | what’s more, they have a policy laid down | well calculated to benetit this country. The next speaker on the scene was the! gallant Colonel, who acted the part of a half- | ‘trained comedian, aad brought forth some | side splitting laughter from all without dis- | ‘tinetion. He would, at times, as if by magic’) ‘dash up the coat sleeves and say ‘‘Yes, eh, ‘what !” and cut up other fantastic shines by | ‘heaving his glesses (to use his 0 vn phrase) | down on the desk—and, without any reason | ‘and for no purpose whatever, tirn around and ipick them up, and sling them back at least a distance of fifteen inches; whijst he would shoot (every time) them squarely in their proper place, which clear] an expert in the science of /edgerdemain, Dur LL ST re eer sone tann nda aee Mr. Sinclair next spoke, and made one of | = eae | Advertisements under this heading, i space ‘Jarge horns, with tops sawed oif, a AES a Oa a one looked glad, bei: free to all. He wa purpose of having ban greater length. He was iregucr' ed by some person calling out, ‘* Tuy of War. His political remarks were few indeed, and, from a political standpoint, went to support the Opposition—every one of them. In taking farew ell of the Colonel, we hope he may en- joy good health, and always be able to amuse us in like way and manner as he did on Mon- day night, and not be transported to Ottawa or any other foreign clime—as we wish to re- tain his valiant services here on our own Island. Mr. Lawson (No, 2), of the Patriot, says the speakers were Brecken, Sinclair, Pope, McGill, Cameron, A. B. McKenzie, Tanton and Moore, in the order above written; but such is not the case. Mr. Creorge Howatt, Crapaud, pleased us very much by telling us which way he felt. He spoke very calmly for only a short time, when he began to tind out that he would not be heard on any ground. Now that Mr. Howatt knows who reduced the duty on coal oil, he must be satisfied and remain at home—or jump Jim Crow again. Howatt can’t come it here. Messrs. Cameron, Tanton and A. B. Me- Kenzie spoke well—each supporting their cause like ‘* Willies.” Messrs. Pope and Brecken left at a late hour, with three rousing cheers and the full assurance of a majority vote in Springton, from the loyal, patriotic descendants of fair Scotia, on the 17th. ‘The meeting was a great victory for Pope and Brecken, and shows plainly that the National Policy is in the interest of the Island people generally.
