They are, with Liberal Conservative eandidates al] over the country, emphatically jn favor of adopting euch reasonable and practicable measures of the he as will reanlt in the of restoration of the railway men’s franchise restoration financial balance the Province, ¢ rights, the repeal of the gerrymander, the abatement of the boodling, and the annihilation of the party enacting and carrying out these seandalous measures.

On the platform we noticed Senators Howlan, Macdonald and Pergu- on; Dr. Jenkins, M. P. P., Charlottetown, und Donald McKay, Esq., M. P. P., Oyster Bed Bridge; Hon. William Richards, Bide- ford; Hon. L. C. Owen, M. P. Hogan, Exq., €. C., R. R. Fitzgerald, Esg., Q. C., and Thomas Handrahan and W. 8. Stew- art, Lisqs P. Blake, Esq., oceupied the chair, and H. Melnnis, of Tae Examiner, was secretary of the meeting The Chairman, in opening the meeting, thanked the electors of Charlottetown for the generous manner in which they had he sought their suf- T y i done him Three times they had done hin ting him to the Heuse of frages. when he was a candidate at the Dominion | election, they had given him a larger vote than was recorded for Mr. Davies. About tendered a norm- of twelve weeks ago he was Third District wham he had twice defeated in Charlotte- town, which he had accepted, and he eouki now make the pleasing announce ment that the prospects were that he world send his opponent back to Char- lottetown to the seclusion of private life. The prospects for the return of his col- leagne, Mr. Stewart, were also excellent, The candidates selected to contest Char- lottetown and Royalty, Messrs, Owen and Fitzgerald, were both able men. Mr. Owen had been in public life for seventeen or eighteen years, for four of which he was Premier, and had always served his coun- try faithfully and well. Now, after being in private life for a number of years, he was called out again, and he had accepted the call be- heving that it was in the best interests of the country that he should do se. For years Mr. Owen had been identified with the business and shipping interests of the country, and when we find him now, at his time of life, responding to the call of | duty with such alacrity, he thought it spoke volumes for the warm interest he takes in the welfare of the Province and its people. All present knew the other candidate, Mr. Fitzgerald. For about twenty years past he has occupied a jud- icial position, and has always discharged his duty fairly and well. He is an able and eloquent man,and he felt sure that the people of Charlottetown would be pleased to have him for their representa- tive. Mr. Blake then reviewed the policy of the Peters Government, pointing out its unbusiness-like, unsatisfactory and ty- rannical character. Each year, said he, they have rolled up a deficit, and to-day the debt of the Province ja not jess than 4 $300,000. When a man hie ex- penditure to exceed his revenue each year he soon becomes deeply involved, and in the end becomes bankrupt. What is true of individuals is equally trne of cor- porations and governments, The _poliey pursned by the Peters Administration can have but one result; and a better policy must be inaugurated — one that will make both ends meet. In 1880, when the citi- zens of Charlottetown suddenly woke up to the fact that the city was verging on bankruptcy because of the manner in which civic affairs had been managed, a | number of them met together, and after consultation decided to choose men who would act ecouncillora and use their best efforts to bring the city ont of the slongh into which it bad fallen, He (Mr. Blake) had the honor of being one of the |} mon 20 chosen, and as a result of the pol- icy pursued by himeelf and his colleagues | at the Board the financial affsire of the | city underwenta change for the better, allows as }and deficits at the end of each year i became a thing = of the past. The City Council since that time | hes invariably had a surplus at *ye end of the year instead of a deficit, ae was formerly the case, ang 63 result of this wise policy the credit of the city | stands very high. The city debentures | now sell at 106} per cent., while Provincial | Government debentures sell at 96 per | cent. four below pay, J{a believed that | if the system pursued by the Betera (ov- | ernment were continued for the next four | years the debentyres would not sell at all! He (Mr. Blake), if eleoted, promised to be ‘one of those who would asaisi in the passing of a measure that would make revenue and expenditure meet. He thonght that this was the duty of every man in- j terested in the welfgre of his country. The reign of deficits was ahont over; | revenue and expenditure myst he made tg meet. There was another act of the Peters Government that could not be too | severely condemned, and that was the | taking away of the right to vote from the railway men and the Dominion officials. | Although many of these men were large property hoideve 3nd were deeply interested in the good government of the Province, ithe right to vote for membgra of the Provingig!] Legislature was taken away from them, ‘ke reason for this tyranical act was not far to seek, When Mr. Peters contested the city and was defeated the majority of the Dominion officials voted | against him, and he never forgaye them for so doing, When he (Mr, Blake) got back to the House he would do all in his power to have this right—this privilege whieh eyery freeborn man shonld enjoy— restored to these wronged officials. . The Premier gqlso gerrymandered King’s County in a most shameful way, gnd practically disfranchised a number of the electors in ordey that he might obtain a seat for his brother that he felt sure could be obtained in no other way, The | Government also took away one vote from } the young men, and they would take the remaining one from them if they had the candidates in re- | Spect to speaking ability, and he has a ; chance.

He had not been asked to resiga, but bad done so of his own free will, ie fete sure of victory not alone m Cha rlottetown but all along the line, ‘Today he received a unanimous necuination to con test West River in opposition to the Hon Mr. Farquharson, which, he accepwed with a great deal of pleacnre because by % joing he was in a pusitien to heip the party. Notwithstanding the fect that his opponent was a wealthy men and a men- ver of the Government, he (Dr. Jenkins) felt that he uot only had a fair fighting chance, bat there was a good prospect of snecess. He strongly comdemned the policy of taking away the right to vote from, the employes of the Dominion Government and the young men. It was neither a Liberal or a just policy; it was simply iniquitous. The present govern- ment had adopted no financial policy, Each year there was a deficit, and there seemed to be no prospect of getting ont of the financial muddle. Something must be done to keep the country out of debt, or the people would be dragged down. He thanked the electors for the hand- some support they had given him in the past, and hoped they would rally round the candidates the same as they had-done for himself. The nomination of Hon. Mr. O'ven was then put to the meeting and earrisd un- animously, amid great applause. Hon. Mr. Owen, after the nomination was tendered him by the chairman, came forward, and in a brief speech thanked ioe electors for the honor conferred. He was an old man now, and had been ont of pol- ities for seventeen or eighteen years, but, if elected, he promised to use his best ef- forts to promote a policy that would make revenue and expenditure meet, and to sup- port such legielation as was in the best in- terests of the people and the country. Alexander Mr. R. R. Fitzgerald as a fit and proper person for Assemblymaa.. He was pleas- ed at having the honor of doing so. He felt sure that Mr. Fitzgerald would be elected, and that he would reflect credit upon the constituency that returned him. Thomas Handrahan, Esq., seconded the motion. Mr. Fitzgerald was a man of the highest honor and integrity, and he felt sure that he would be returned by a hand- some majority. The motion nominating Mr. Fitzgerald was then put to the meeting and enthus- iastically and unanimously carried. R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., thanked the elec- tors for the nomination. This was the roudest position he had ever occupied. fe was exceedingly well pleased with the enthusiasin with which he had been re- ceived and the readiness with which the electors promised bim their support. For eighteen years he had been out of polities by reason of his judicial position, and during all that time he bad never uttered or penned a word on political matters. He had been about town a good deal dur- ing the day and met a great many people, and judging by the hearty way in which he was received he felt that his elec- tion was as safe and sure as the fact of his standing on the platform tonight, Men upon whom he had placed the iron hand of the law, had taken him by the hand and promised him their support. In his judicial capacity he had ever tried to do his duty to the best of his ability, The rich man and the peor man were alike to him, and he had always tried to mete out evenhanded justice. He then proceeded to briefly reyiew the political situation. | He agreed with what had heen egid by the chairman with refereyce to the financial policy of the Government, and thongist it were high time that the policy of annual deficits was pnt an end to. The eredjt of the City of Charlottetown stands high taday by reason of the fact that there has not been 9 deficit of adollar during the past thirteen years, City de- bentures now gell at 64 percent. premium, and they are eagerly snapped up, while the Provincia) debentnres sell at 96 per cent,, and lave to be hawked about from door to dgor, As the credit of the Prox vince decreases jn value, the palue of pro- perty also diminishes, and in the end there will be an avalanche of taxation that will carry everything before it. Can it be trae, as he read in Tue Examiner, that the deltt ef the Province had been incregsed by some $2} .000 during the past few weeks. It was not neceseary that we should puton heavy taxes now, but only such a: are necessary to lift the burden of debt and keep us alive and not hare the whole thingcome on us later and kill us. He said we had heen urged to go into con- federation because we were projnised better communication with the mainland and good times generally. While he would not advocate our retiring from confeder- ation and returning to the measure of Hoime Ryle we previously enjoyed, he would say that we had not got our just recognition from the Dominion Government, and he would do all in his power, if elected, to secure our rights. He was pleased that he had the Hon. L, C, Owen fora colleague, and he said when he heand such was the case that it meant more than one hundred votes. With reference to the railway vote, he said he had looked into the law bearing upon the case, and he had given an opinion on the matter, which he thought would be sustained by the courts. In the country it had been told an elector who was seeking information on the subject, that it was proposed to redeem tiie fHro- vincial debentures by a sinking fund! He thought, however that what we wanted was a raising fund and we shall get it. His first vote would be given towgrds doing something in the matter of relieying the eguytry from the incubus of debt. In the legislatiye halls he would do the best he could. for the people. If he proved recreant to the trust reposed in him he would be the first Irishman that ever did sa. W, 8, Stewart, Esq., pleasure it gave him to be meeting was a good one, and augured well for success throughont the Province. “He thought we would be able on election night to congratulate ourselves on having routed the Peters Government, horse, foot and artillery. The Peters Government have given the mechanics and laborers of Charlottetown scant courtesy. They had attempted to disfranchise 200 or 300 men in the city, although they had no more right to do so than the Gity Council had to take away the right to vote at Civie elections from Bocal and Dominion Goy- eyament officials, Theonly excuse they expressed the —— The offered for their tyrann was that Dominion officigls did not yote in other grit provinces. But they did not wholly succeed in their nefarious work, There was no question now but the majority of these men had the right to vote; every man in the railway employ who was temporarily employed by the day hadthe right to vote and could vote conscientiously.

Mr. Blake was going;to anuihilate the Premier*in the Fort Angustus,District,and he (Peters)will come back to Charlottetowa with the Same ven- geance in his heart that he had when he eft Charlottetown for Fort Augustus, The Peters Government were a ret of hy po- crites. When in opposition they declaiun- ed against deficits, but when they were re- turned they went on piling up de- ficits year after year. In the first year of the Peters administration their deficit was $30,000, although their receipts from the nd Office amounted to $72,- 000; in the second year the deficit was 3,000; and this year at the very least the McKinnon, Esq., proposed | } He} } THE HONEYMOON 27th, at 11 o’clock a —— | en sition they tabled resolutions providing for a reduction in the Executive Council, but they continued the old number after they were clected. They also claimed that money could be saved by having the Attorney-General manage the Public Lands Department, but the old order of things continued. They are now drifting aimlessly along and plunging the country deeper and deeper with debt each year. They are also violating the law in the matter of Jetting public works and seck- ing to induce wavering Conservatives to sipport them. He did not think the ek ctors of Charlottetown would support the: Peters Government in their reckless- nes 3, and he fell sure that Owen and Fitz, zerald would be elected.

He was pleased with the seleetion of cavdidates for the city, and felt sure of their election. Both ‘are men of talents «and respectability, and will make good representatives. Previous to taking his seat he wished to place a few figures before «the tne@ting: In the Canada Gazette cach month there is astatement showing the transactions ab the banks, and according tO” this ‘state- ment the amount owing to the Merchant# Bank of P. E. Island by the Goverment of this Province on the 3ist of August last was $28,397.00; and on the lst of October it was $49,057.00—an addition of $21,000.00 in three months. In this eon- nection, said he, it is well. toremember Rc ; “air Mar, that the Government keep the account of the Prblic Works, in which the road boodling has been going on, in the Merchants’ Bank of Halifax; and it is ex- ceedingly significant that the sum set down by this bank under the heading “Loans ta Provincial Government,” has lately been ewelled to $146,000.00! During the 12 years of the Sullivan-MeLeod administration they had done their best for the country. The Opposition said they had been doing wrong, sand strong y censured them. But since their advent to power they bave used up the revenue of the Land Office and ave drawing from the banks at the present time. Senator Maedonald said the candidates had his most hearty approval, It would be difficult to find two men nore eligible than the two chosen to contest the city, Mr, Fitzgerald’s conduet as Stipendiary Magistrate had been above reproach, and he would reflect credit upon us in the Legislative halls, Mr. Owen is well known and deservedly respected, and if elected, he would make a most excellent representative. He asked that the elec- tors raliy to their support and elect them, Hon. William Richards was also well pleased with the selection of candidates, and hoped they would be elected, Donald McKay, E-q., M. P. P., Oyster Bed Bridge, thought the team chosen for the city an excellent one, and felt sure they would be returned, His prospects of election in the West River district were most excellent, notwithstanding the great amount of road boodling going on there at the present time, and his colleague, Dr. Jenkins, had a splendid chance of defeat- ing Mr. Farquharson P. McCourt, Esq., thought that every- one was well pleased with the candidates chosen for thecity. Both were men of ability and high character, and he felt sure they wou!d be elected.
