The Greatest Victory Yet.

As the returns are more fully made known, the Government majority enlarges ; and, as remarked by the Toronto Mai, ‘thers is probably no oceasion on record on Which a Government has, after four years of active administration, secured s

nearly its full majority as did the Govern- |

ment of Sir John Macdonald on Tuesday last.

There is no desire on the part of the Liberal-Conservative party to exult unduly over the splendid triumph it has achieved. We expected losses, because the popular mind, as public men know in Eng- land and on the Continent, is somewhat prone to change in matters of party pre ference.

Mr. Biake.

Tue St. John Sun says ‘‘ Mr. Blake played all his best cards and lost every- thing. Those ‘ wonderful speeches’ of his —ineluding his ‘great Irish speech’ went for nothing. Those ‘ masterly feats of oratory,’ consisting of special pleadings lasting for a day at a time, might as well have been spoken to the empty air. As another result of the election of Tuesday, itis seen that Mr. Blake’s leadership has proved as great a failure as Mr. Mackenzie’s. Of first-class generalship he has given no evidence. He could attack a single Can- adian factory—take Mr. Parks’ as an in- stance—with great vehemence and a wealth of rhetoric, but he could not carry his poli- tical party to assured victory. He conld prove plainly, from his own standpoint, that the abolition of duties on Tea and Coffee was a wrong to the people of Can- ada, but he could not turn a Grit minority in Parliament into a Grit majority. He could give his followers any number of polished sentences, but he could not satisfy their craving for offices, salaries, and other emoluments. He could not secure for them the government of Canada, which their souls longed for. In fact, the things they cared nothing for he offered them in abundance, but the goods they coveted he was not able to provide forthem. They **swapped” Mr. Mackenzie for Mr. Blake, and broke their old leader’s heart, only to find that the new leader is, if anything, a greater blunderer than the old. Mr. Blake goes down with the wreckage of the Party.”

Prince Edward Island Hlections.

OPINIONS OF THE PRES;,

(Toronto Mail.)

The Opposition have secured a majority of representatives from Prince Edward Island. It is not, however, due to the personal magnetism of the late Lieutenant- Governor of the Northwest Territory, who entered the arena to meet with unexpected defeat, Lut to wilful misrepresentation of the operation of the National Policy, that this success was obtained. In one of the appeals made by the Pioneer, an Opposition organ, we find the following :

** Will you vote to support a Governmert that causes you to lose 30 per cent. on every horse, cow, or sheep that you export to the United States? Wall farmers vote themselves out of 15 cents un every bushel of potatoes they sell ?”

Thus the people were led to believe that the N. P. had something todo with the imposition of those duties which, of course, are imposed by the United States, not by the Dominion Government. The large trade done between the Island and Boston is un- doubtedly an important factor in the pros- perity of the Islanders, and they are natur ally anxious to preserve and, if possible, develop it. Reciprocal trade with the United States is what the Island wants; but at the cluse of Mr. Mackenzie's tenure of office, and after five years of free trade, & reciprocity treaty was as far off as before he obtained pewer.

The supporters of the Government laboured n»t only under the disadvantage of having the National Policy persistently misinterpreted to the farmers, but they were deprived of the services of their for- mer active leader, Hon. J. C. Pope, by illness. This, of itself, is sufficient to ac- count for the Opposition gains,

It remains to be seen how these ultra- free-traders will co-operate with Messrs. Paterson, Carlton, Laurier, and other ad- vocates of moderate protection, with Mr. Blake, who emphatically declared in his

manifesto : ~‘‘ Free trade is for us impos- sible.”

(St. John News.)

The Grit gains in P. E. Island are pro- bably to a large extent to be accounted for by the disablement ef Mr. J. C. Pope. Mr. Siento tor years the chief man of his

A gratifying feature is that such a large number of constituencies send to Parlia- ment Conservative members with majorities larger than those won by their predecessors. Here are some instances :

These increases in Ministerial Majorities far more that counterbalance the decreases which have oceurred in some other places. The secret caucus where Mr. Mackenzie was deposed without a hearing was the first step in the utter destruction of Gritism. Every month, nay, every hour since, the faction has been going to the dogs.

Out of the ruins of the Blake leadership and from the ashes of his Party shall grow the stately fabric of National Prosperity. The country, fortunately, has been saved from the paralyzing influence of Grit re- action. The desperate attempt to stay the onward march of the National Policy having ended in the political ruin of the would-be revolutionists, the country is assured of a long stride in the direction of prosperity. With absolute security for their investments guaranteed, capitalists may be expected to push forward various enterprises whose initiation has been pre. vented by the uncertainty in connexion with the continuance of the National Policy. Manufactures will continue to be established, providing employment not only for those mechanics now in the country, but for many Canadians who will return to it. The development of the Canadian North West; by means of railways and Colonization societies, will proceed apace, thus ensuring large additions to the popu- lation from other countries and a larger market for our Eastern manufactures.

** What we deem misfortunes are oft blessings in disguise.” So it may be to the people of Dorchester. The r: cent defeat of Sir Albert at the polls will now leave him at leisure to devote his energies to the speedy completion of the ‘$150,000 boot and shoe factory,” projected by him during the late campaign. We learn that the people of that neighborhood are looking eagerly forward forthe promised empl: y- ment, as the surest means to prevent the lamented exodus.— Sun.

It is said that Sir A. T. Galt will be the Ministerial candidate in Carleton, Sir John Macdonald having decided to sit for Lennox.

From the moment when Mr. George Brown was unhappily laid upon the bed of death, the Grit party went to its doom. It is not for usto extennate the Sénator’s faults or extol the merits he unquestionably possessed, but this we may be privileged to

say, that had he lived the Grit party would never have been ied so dastardly to utter ruin. He, at all

events, would have stood manfully upon a stont platform and edhere to it to the last. With his death the faction went to ruin.

The smoke of the battle has cleared away and we fihd the following Grits among the slain :

Sir Albert J. Smith, ex-Minister 1882, 442.

Hon. Timothy Warren Anglin, ex- Speaker, elected by acclamation in 1878, defeated in 1882, by an overwhelming majority, with two Liberal-Conservatives iu the field. :

Sir Richard John Cartwright, ex-Mixer and Muddler (or ¢x-Finance Minister), elected in 1878 by 401 majority ; defeated in 1882 by 150 or thc reabouts.

Hon. Lucius Seth Huntington, the ori- ginator of t! e l’acitic Railway Scandal, ex: President of the Privy Council and ex-Post- master-General, defeated in 1882 by M Ayer, who poiled only 272 votes in 1878 against 1414 for Mr. Huntington.

The Scott Act. Ww.

LETTER FROM REY. G. HODGSON,

To the Editor of the sJeaminer.

Sir,—The position of the friends of the Seott Act has, during the past few months, been a diflicult and a painfulone, They saw the law which they had been instru- mental in bringiog into foree, flagrantly violated, and they knew that they were powerless to have it enforced. On every side the cry was raised, ** The Scott Act ia no way stops drinking.” Those who thus spoke quite forgot that the law had prac- tically been suspended-—that our difh- culty was, that no one knew whether the Act was law or not. In that state of things we could do nothiog. If a convic- tion were procured, the convicted party would refuse to pay the penalty; nor could we expect magistrates and constables to incur the serious consequences that might result to them from enforcing penalties without the sanction of law. There was

But all this is now changed. Thehighest tribunai in the British Empire for such causes as this, has declared the law cousti- tutional. From this judgment there can be no appeal.

The battle ly now beginning. hat has been re was merely a preliminary skirwish, not a de- cisive conflict. That is now to come.
