Sin,— When a prominent man chang his political opinions and withdraws his 81 ap-| port from a political party, it is prope r | that he should inform the public of his| reasons for so doing. It is well known in| this Province that continuously since Con- | federation and for years previously to that | event, | have been a consistent and some- oe at leading supporter of what is termed | e Liberal or Reform. party. Te justice to myself I beg to sretate| this recantation by stating that | am not} a disappointed office seeker. I never sought} office or political preferment of any kind ; nor would [ now except either. I have a good and profitable business of my own which require all my attention. With your permission I shall now, Mr. Editor, proceed briefiy to state a few of the reasons which have constrained me to peremptorily secede from the Liberal party. First, the imbecility and hypocrisy dis- played by the Liberals in reference to the Pacific Railway, commencing with the letter stealing, the Fort Francis Locke, and the Neebing Hotel. The terms upon which they invited capita ists to build the road. The bogus syndicate got up with a view cf thwarting the present syndicate, and finaliy their want of patriot-| ism when the contract was let to Messrs. | Stephens, McIntyre, and other Canadians, upon terms fully twenty per cent better than those offered by themselves; in slan- dering the Company, belittling the country, charging the Government with fraud and corruption, representing that the work over the easy part of the road was being built in aflimsy, unworkmanlike and scan- dalous manner ; that the syndicate would draw their full mileage pay on this easy part of the job but would never attempt to complete the heavy work in the mountains —iu fact they said that the whole. reverine of Great. Britain would be found inade- quate to the task. What do we find now ! That the road is virtually completed and we have no less a personage than the Hon. Alexander McKenzie, who made a personal inspection of the track, that the work is well and faithfully performed. Taking the information from the leaders of my party, | regret to say that I have myself given currency to these scandals. Nothing would now give me greater satis- faction than to meet this syndicate in my office and apologize to them personally for the abuse that 1 have heaped upon them, and say to them that I believe them to be enterprizing hongst, men that they have faithfully fulfilled théirengagements, that they are a credit to any country, and that as a Canadian I am proud of them. Again, in the matter of the trade policy of the country,the Liberals are undoubtedly in the wrong; and as financiers they are in fact mere bunglers. Compare the loans effected by the great mixer and muddler with those made by the Conservative party! Nothing fappears to be too absurd for the Grits as a party cry. Since 1878 until the present years,ihe Liberal Conservatives have annually announced a surplus of receipts over expenditure. The cry was then, and the changes rung upon it in every con- ceivable way, that the country was going to ruin with surplus. Now, owing mainly to the Northwest Rebelliou, (which I regret to say was urged on and encouraged by a portion of the Liberal press, as well as by leading members of that party) a deficit is shown in the public accounts. The tune is changed forthwith, and the country is to be ruined by deficits. I watched the course of the rebellion with more than ordinary solicitude. I had friends residing inthe Northwest. I could net hs But no intelligent man could fail to commend the cooiness, ability and dignity with which Sir John Macdonald treated that unfortunate uprising, surrounded as he was with so many difficulties, having to contend with traitors, murderers and savage 1 — debauchees in the Northwest, and traitors nearer home. He met the difficulty equarely, and with the sympathies and sup- port of all right-thinking men he put down the rebellion and hanged the leading traitor, Riel, than whom no man ever more justly merited his fate. This man who murdered Scott, incite! and caused | the murder of clergymen, and encouraged ignorant half-breeds and painted sayagesa to commit rapine and murder upon the inno- cent and unprotected! Does the Libe ral | party commend this execution, this righte- ous act of justice? No! Basely hoping | through it to attain place and power, they| form an unholy alliance with a misguide | section of the Conservative party to defeat | the Government. Had Riel not been! hanged, it is well known to prominent men | Jof the Grit party that they would have been} as loud in their denunciations against the Government for not doi Dg the very thing | that has been done. Thiag ia a well known | fact, and of itself should be suflicient to} alienate from them the support of every in- dependent man. I would like, Mr. Editor, to deal with this question in a broad and | statesmanlike manner, buat I cannot resist taking a look nearer home; and | ask what has the Island to expect from the Liberal Party? A few years ago when the question of building a Branch Railway | to Cape Traverse was before the House, the Hon. Alexander McKenzie, the then lead- er, opposed it, stating that “* the Dominion | had done very well for the Island.’ On! another occasion, the present leader, the Hon. Edward Blake, was loud in his com. plainta of the Island costing more than it was worth. Thesmailer fry of the party miss no opportunity of expressing them- selves in the same manner. On the other hand, the Conservative Party attend to our demands with ordinary courtesy, and I verily believe that whatever chance there may be of having our terms of Oonfedera- tion fulfilled, and of obtaining steam com- munication winter and summer, it is by re- taining in power Sir John A. McDonald and his great Li®tral-Conservative party. Hoping that this change of opinion will Sinerze Cortes Two CENrTs, VOL. 18---NO, 104 not cause any difference in the social or , business relations between myself and those with whom I have hitherto acted, I beg to | subscribe myself a supporter of the Liberal- Conservative party in Dominion politics. Your obedient Servant, JOHN McK Summerside, 24th March, 1886. BNZIE, Notes from Souris. The southerly wind of the past few days has filled Souris harbor with ice which had been previously as clear as it would be in jmid-eummer. The snow is fast loaving us, and the roads in this section are breaking up and will soon be unfit for | travelling. There are sounds of activity in the air. The lobster packers are busy preparing for the season’s work, and the fishermen are overhauling their nets. Capt. Thomas Kickham has a v@&sel on the stocks, and Capt. Joseph Campbell will soon have out a frame. Our genial friend, Mr. Frederick Morrow, has sold his property on Lobster Point to Capt. Wm. McDonald, and will llve in part of the Bay View Hotel until he builds next sommer. Messrs. Stewart Bros. have purchased a lot on Main Street and intend erecting a store upon it. It is also reported that our ‘respected townsman, Mr. Geo. B. Me- EKachern, intends building the coming sum- mer. Mr. Owen Cennolly’s large trade sale which was postponed last week, was resum- ed to-day. It is largely at ttended by the farmers and small traders, many of whom “ate obtained good bargains in special ines. The Rev. Job Shenton lectuced on Moa- day evening to a fair audience in the Meth. odist Church on ‘‘ Wanted,’—The most wanted thing in Souris is a building for a Post Office and Custom House. None would ever imagine that the Custom House was kept in the building used at present for that purpose. If it stands till summer I think it will be found to contain more cobwebs and black beetles than Pip saw in the room where Miss Havisham’s weeding breakfast was laid. It has one advantage, however, and that is, every man over five feet six who enters is obliged to salute the officer on duty. Mr. Foley can, therefore, when seated at his desk, earily guess the height of his clients by the curvatare of their spines. The Post Office is a little better than the Custom Houce, but certain- ly not what it should be in a village as large as Souris. There has been a Debaiing Club and Literary Society in full operation here dur- ing the past winter, and last night the members decided by a large majority that the franchise should be extended to women. Politicians may, therefore, read the signs of the times, and govern themselves acoor- dingly. Yours truly, RAMBLER. Souris East, March 24th, 1886. Killed in a Steam Saw Mill. SUDDEN DEATH TO A MAN WHO WAS TO BE MARRIED IN A FORTNIGHT, Asad accident took place in J. E, Taylor & Co.’s steam saw mill, Witten- burg, Lower Stewiacke, N. 8., on Friday afternoon, which resulted fatally. Daniel Mitchell, aged about 40, belonging to Bridgewater, was engaged at the circular saw, passing through a maple stick about twelve fest long. It caught on. the back of the saw, was whizzed back with yreat force and struck Mitcheli a violent blow in the abdomen. He was removed to his board- ing house, where Dr. Morris was imme- diately in attendance. But he became worse, suffered great agony on Saturday, and Dr. McLean was summoned. He arrived just as the pocr fellow died. Mitchell had been working at and for the mill since the first of the year. He was an industrious, sober man and highly respected, but said very little about him- self. However, it was found out that he was to be married to a Bridgewater lady in about two weeks, and a despatch was sent her saying Mitchell had been injured. She wired back that she would immediately come on to nurse him. A subsequent des- patch was sent saying he was dead. All arrangements had been made for the fun- eral, anda number of persons assembled. But she telegraphed that she would come on, and out of respect to her the funeral was postponed till her arrival. -_ + Special Notices.
