Political Meeting at Rona.

Pursuant to notice, the electors of Rona aud adjacent settlements met in the Rona schoolhouse to-day to meet their late re-' presentatives — D. Montgomery and J... Nicholson, Esquiyes. Accordingly, at the | appointed hour the meeting was organized | by appointing Mr. Norman McKenzie, | chairman, and the undersigned to act as! secretary.

D. Montgomery, Esq., on being called for, came forward and eloquently addressed the electors. He reviewed his actions while representative of this District : First, that he opposed the late Government with the view of breaking it up ; and, secondly, that he approved of an appeal to the elec- tors at the polls. After thanking the elec- tors for the support they gave him a few months ago, he took his seat amidst the applause of the meeting.

J. Nicholson, Esq., was then called upon. He said that, as this was the first time he appeared before the electors, many of them were strangers to him. However, on be- coming their representative, he was guided by their votes at the previous election, which unquestionably indicated that a ma- jority of the electors in the Belfast District were opposed to the actions and policy of the late Government ; and, inasmuch as their views and his own were in unison, he consequently opposed the late Government, and now appeared before the electors to hand over the trust to them.

The meeting was then addressed by Messrs. D. Crawford, A. W. Cook, Alex. Martin, Maleolm McMillan and Malcolm Martin, in the interests of the people and the present Gevernment ; and by Messrs. Neil McKinnon and Wm. McKenzie in the interests of the late Government—more, I believe, with the view of eliciting informa- tion, as their opposition was very moderate.

The following resolution were then car- ried unanimously :—

That the candidates be pledged te carry out the following reforms :

1. Amend the School Act and abolish the supplementary clause.

2. Abelish the Legislative Council.

3. Repeal the Domestic Animals’ Act of 1877.

4. Curtail the running expenses of the Government and institute a general reform in the salaries of officials.

5. Amend the Assessment Act, with the view of reducing taxation.

D. Montgomery, Esq., was then pro- posed by John McPhee, and seconded by Angus D, McLeod, as a tit and proper person to represent this District.—-Carried unani- mously. .

J. Nicholson, Esq., was proposed by Jonathan A. Morrison, and seconded by John McPhee.—Carried unanimously.

The chair was then vacated, and, on mo- tion of A. W. Cook, Esq., D. Montgomery, Esq., was called thereto, when the thanks of the meeting were tendered to the Chairman for his able and impartial conduct:

Meeting at Wheatley River.

According to announcement, a meeting of the electors of this section of the Second Electoral District was held in the Wheatley River Sshool House, on Saturday, the 22nd inst. The meeting was organized by ap- pointing Themas Chandler, Esq, to the Chair, and the undersigned to act as Secre- tary.

D. McKay, Esq., late representative, was the first to address the meeting. Aftera few introductory remarks, he proceeded to elucidate on the legislation of the late Gov- ernment. In referring to the School Act, he said the unsectarian principle was sound; but the Act, as a whole, did not give gen- eral satisfaction, and that amendments were required, proposing that the manner of issuing Assessment Lists be improved. He upheld that the Teacher should be paid in full from the General Treasury, and that resident householders, without children within age, should not contribute towards the working of the schools. He also de- nounced t!:> mode of asssessment specified by the Act (i. e. on the basis of local valua- tion) and that it was not workable in any manner. He held a document in his pos- session to the effect that Mr. Sullivan would not interfere with the unsectarian principle of the Act. The principle of the Assessment Act was sound; but it should be carried out more economical. It was the cause of putting the towns and country at variance; and he would support a bill te have towns and country taxed alike. He believed the Prince of Wales College to be an expensive institution with- out giving a fair return. He would support its amalgamation with the Normal School. To abolish imprisonment for Debt, and also the abolition of the Legislative Council were a part of the policy of the Government. He contended that the Registeration Act should be so amended that electors could, at any time, register their votes.

Hon. D. Farquharson spoke, and said the Government were not justified in put- ting the country to the unnecessary expense and turmoil of a general election; but that Mr. Sullivian took advantage of the excite- ment of the moment to extend his lease of

was an inevitable piece of legislation, as the country wason the verge of bankruptcy when Mr. Davies got the reins of power.

‘During the passage of the Act, he asked what amendments were proposed by Mr.

McKay, and asked if the late Opposition proposed, as an amendment te the Ballot Act, that electors could, at any time, regis- ter their votes. (No response). Referring to the Lunatic Asylum, he said that he op- posed the building of it ata cost of $100,- 000; but that it was supported by the then Opposition, and that they were more re- sponsible, inasmuch that if it wefe not re- quired, they should have strenuously op- posed it, as they have an eye to the work- ing of the Government. He spoke of the reforms the late Government brought abeut, mentioning a saving of $5,000 effected by letting the Queen’s Printing by tender; and that further retrenchment was contem- plated, such as a reduction in the salaries of departments and in the members’ pay. He supported the motion to reduce the members’ pay, but was voted down by the late Opposition and others. As regards the abolitien of the Legislative Council, he believed that prop- erty-holders should have a stronger voice in the legislation of the country than the franchise voters, and would therefore sup- port an amalgamation ef the two Houses. He thought it unfair that householders having no children should contribute to- wards the running expense of district schools; but that the Act worked well was universally agreed to; and was the means of dragging a great many children into our Public Schools, who would otherwise be neglected. He spoke of the antagonism in the present Government, and fully account- ed for the money spent by the late Govern: ment since the commencement of the New Year.

A. McMillan, Esq., nominated William Laird, Esq., as a suitable person to repre- sent us in Parliament. D. McDonald, Esq., seconded the nomination.

Mr. Laird then spoke, and defined Mr. McKay as a member on all sides of topics, spoke of the legislation of Mr. Davies, and the honor due him for the Education Act. He said the policy of the present Gevern- ment was similar to the late, and that they differed more in person than in policy. The Government did not intend to do away with the Assessment Act, and tha: if the towns were taxed they would, as a matter of course, expect more out of the general revenue.

Messrs. J. K. McInnis, D. E. Campbeli and Geo, Smith spoke in favor of the pres- ent Administration. A. McMillan, Esq., defended the late Government.

James Wares, Esq., moved the following resolution, and it was seconded by George Smith, Esg., —

Whereas, Donald McKay, Esq., has proven true to the trust reposed in him by the electors of this District at the late general election;

Therefore Resolved, That we show our ap- preciation of his efforts in our behalf by going to the polls and recording our votes in his favor at the ensuing election.

John McRae, Esq., nominated Donald Farquharson, Esq., as a suitable person to represent us in the House of Assembly ; Mr. McMillan seconded the nomination.

A division was taken between Mr. Mc- Kay and Mr. Laird, which resulted in a majority for McKay.

On motion, it was resolved that the minutes of the meeting be sent to the Ex- AMINER Office fer publication, and that other city papers would please copy.

After three hearty cheers were given to each of the candidates, the meeting broke up at a seasonable hour,

The amount per annum to be paid to bondholders will be fixed after a careful examination of the revenue and expenditures.
