At a meeting held in Stanley 27th February, 1891, it was moved by Dr Macneill, seconded by } a Esq., and carried unanimouely : Whereas was made by the peo} George Mackeuzie, in January, 1885, an attempt ; a » of € Of to obtain a survey and estimates for the extension of the Cape Traverse Branch Railway to Stanley bridge as a centra deep water tremiaus aad commercial cen- tre for New Lon jon, and whereas at public meeting held at Stanley Hallin said : year, it was unani: ou-ly agreed and re- solved that the buiiiing of said exteusior the Lthi pe rfance to was a qgaestion of vit ul and fi-hing inter agricultural, comme: ests of this commun: , and whereas, @ petition was then forward: Minis ter of Railways through our representative, Dr. Jenkin, setting forth, in clear terms, our demands and requiretaents in this re- u to the spect, and whereas the project of tunnelling the straits of Northumberiand is a duty incumbent upon the Dominion Govern- ment as the only feasi'jJe solution of a contract made by the said Dominien of th ene part, and Prince Eiward Island on the other part. And whereas the mitter of cost should be no barrier in the way oF the liberal fulfilment of the solemn covenant then made, the project siands solemnly before us ap unfulfilled contract ou the pari of tbe Dominion, and must sot bx regarded in any way, to interfere with th otber duties devolving upon the Govern-~ meant and iu view of the great trale to b developed by the building of the tunnel the said branch shou!d be extended to New London and Rustico at an early day.

And whereas, we are deprived of steam com-~ munication summer and winter we earnestly require that our candidates d pledze themselves to carry forward project of Railway extension at an date.

To the ion. great amusement. of the meeting, Mr. = ~ ae Ferguson read from Hansard, 1895, the MESSRS. FERGUSON AND HUNT av] speech ef Mr. Jobn Yeo on the question : CRAPAUD, of branch railways. Thinking that the Goverpment would only entertain the Belfast branch, Mr. Yeo etrongly urged the Government to build five branches, which he enumerated, without including Crapaud. Mr. Ferguson showed how, 8s On Saturday evening Jast the Hon. Mr. Ferguson and Richard Hunt, E-q., were greeted by one of the most enthusiastic meetings which ever packed the Hall at Crapaud Corner. Edward Boswall, E<xq..}.00n as Mr. Yeo concluded his President of the Liberal-Conservative | speech, Mr. Haggart announced Association, cecupied the chair. The Hall was tastefully decorated with mottoes, | such as “ Sir Charles Tupper, our L«ad- er, “Welcome to Senator Ferguson,” and “ Branch Railways.” Richard Hunt, Esq., the popular Cun- servative candidate, was the first speaker, aud was received withcheers. In a neat} and coscise speech he discussed the poli cies of both parties. He condemned the double attitude of the Liberals on the Trade and Manitoba Schools questions. He explained to the meeting the ciforts he had successfuliy made to obtain the inclu sion cf Crapaud in the branch railway policy of the Liberal-Conservative Govern- ment, and commended the action of that government in regard to the dairy indus- the plan cf building seven branches, including the Crapaud one. Whereupon Mr. Davies sprang to his feet and declared that the including so many branches was intended to kill the Belfast one. Mr. Ferguson said that Mr. Davies’ declaration wae particularly severe on Mr. Yeo, Mr. Davies was an adept at turning a eharp corner and did not cyre who he trampled on in order to gain bis party purpose, He advi ed the electors to watch how Messrs Davies and Yeo would recencile their con- tradictiona in Parliament regarding branch Railways, and thought the people of Crapaud had a right to an explanation from Mr. Yeoastowlhy be did not say a word for Crapaud when he was advocat- ing the claims for, Railway branches of Island.

Mr. Ferguson distinct'y stated that it was the settled pol'cy of the Government to build the seven branch railways, be- ginning with the Belfast and Elmira ones. He deseribed the statemeuts that the Gov- ernment could, if they chose, have passed the railway appropriation at the last ees- sion a8 audacious in the extreme, and in open defiance of truh. Everyone knew that the main estimates for 1896-7 must ave precedence over the supplementary ones for the samme year. The former were introduced ou the 24th of January and the House went into committee on the 3lat of the same month, passing one small item. Owing to the persistent obstruction of Mr. Davies and his friends the Hense was never allowed to go into committee again on them. The main estimates had to be disposed of before the supp'ementary esti- mates for 1896-7 could be allowed, It was in the latter estimates that the sum cf $250,060 towards the Belfast and Elmiva branches was placed. That item cculd not be put in the supplementary estimates for the current year, because in that case the vote would lapse on the let of July, before even surveys could be completed. Mr. Fergu on read Mr. Haggart’s letter to timself, which he declared to contain the policy of the Government, and pledged himself that if tbat letter were not made good he would nct remaina member of the Government. Amidst the cheers of the meeting Mr. Ferguson denounced the applause with which received. At the conclusion of Mr. Hunt’s speech. Oliver B. Wadman, E+q., presented the Hon. Mr. Ferguson with the following address ;— To Hon, Senator Ferguson, P. C. Oa this the occasion of your first visit to this section of the Province since your promotion to aseat inthe Cabinet, the Liberal-Conservatives of Crapaud much pleasure in extending to you a cor dial and hearty welcome, and we warim!y congratulate vou on the distinguished place you occupy in the councils of your country. We have every confidence thai the present government, led by that able, progre-sive, and experienced statesman, Sir Charles Tupper, Bart , wil) dea] fairly ani justly with every portion of the De- minion, and continue to foster and encour- age the var ous industries that tend to the development, growth and prosperity of this Canada of ours. We have abundant proof of the practical interest the govern- ment takes in all classes of its citizens ty ithe aid and encouragement it has given our farmers in the establishment of butter and cheese factories throughout the Islani. Here inthe settlement of Cra- paud we can boast of having a butter fac- tory as well asa chesse factory, both of which are doing a satisfactory and rapidly increasing business; while our sister set- tlement of Tryon also operates a successful butter factory, all as a direct result of the practical aid and as<istance of the govern- ment, through their able Dairy Commie sioner, Prof. Robertson, and his assistant, Mr. Dillon. Since your appointment to the Senate we have watched with intere-t.and could not but fee! admire your able advocacy of the Island’s| stit party for raising the Manitoba . - . ” \ 2 . rigbts and claims, and were pleased to notiee | *ChOol = — question and for keeping the qnestion alive as an issue in the Fed- eral elections. He proved, on the author- ity of Hon. David Mills, that the govern- ment was compelled by the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, not only to hear that appeal but also to grant relief. It was nota question whe- ther one set of schools or another were better, but simply the carrying out of a solemn ccntract. It was evident that Catholics and Protestants were equally convinced of the coundnese of Mr. Fergu- son’s arguments.
