THE CITY'S CANDIDATES HON. NEIL McsLEOD
—AND—
PATRICK BLAKE, ESQUIRE.
Tus Darty EXAMINER.
APRIL 19, i882.
The City Candidates.
Tue candidates for the representation of Charlottetown are all in the field. Two of them have already, in other elections, solicited the suffrages of the electors. The other two are ‘‘ new men.”
As a member of the City Council, Thomas Morris, Esq., has been neither ornamental nor useful; and in the last election, he was atthe foot of the poll. He is aot fitted, either by nature or train- ing, for a representative of the people; and it is not likely that the people’s sense of the fitness of things will erer permit them to elect him to the Legislature. To com- pare him with the Hon. Neil McLeod is a
ather invidious task, Politics, it has been
said, ‘‘make strange bedicllows.” They also afford strange contrasts. Here we have the Hon. Neil McLeod pitted against a gentleman whom, by courtesy, we call ** Thomas Morris, Esq., C. C.;” and elect- ors are compelled to ask themselves which of the two they will vote for !
Than Mr. MeLeod there is notin this city one who is, taken for all in all, more highly regarded. Successful as a student, successful in his profession, successful as a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow- citizens—he was at the head of the poll in the last election—taking a quiet but ardent and practical interest in the advancement of the country, Mr. McLeod is a fitting representative of the chief town of the Province; and, having done well during the past four sessiens, he has the best of claims to re-election.
Frederick Peters, Esj., and Patrick Blake, Esq.—we give their names in the order in which their nominations were made—are the ‘‘new men.” It iw very pleasing to see the young talent of the country utilized in the service of the coun- try. But it is very wonderful to think that the talent of Mr. Frederick Peters hos been offered for this honorable service— especially while there is no immediate pros- pect of a fee. Mr. Peters has hitherto been known as ‘‘ a very select young man.” There is no evidence that he is not ‘as chaste as ice, as pure as snow ’—and as cold, He has never heretofore taken the slightest interest in the affairs of the com: munity. It is not known that he ever voted. His name is not connected with any public movement. He has not, so far as is known, a single interest or sympathy in common with the people of Chartotte- town and the Island—except to obtain the **costs” which pertain to suits before the Courts. Asa candidate for popular favor end votes, he will be regarded by the elect- ors in much the same way as a new born babe is regarded by the family. In this character he will,indeed,be an interest- ing study. There must, however, ba some suspicion as to the extraordinary desire of Mr. Peters’ to enter the Legislature. We have had, in the recent past, some cause of complaint concerning the overpowerfu] coneeaenian of Peters & Peters & Peters—
‘eters at the Bar te expound the law, Peters on the Bench to judge according to the law, and Peters in the Judges Chambers to tax the cost of suits at law. But, if this candidature of Mr. Frederick Peters be successful, we shall also have Peters in the Logistature to make the law ;and this is a} point to be considered.

Retirement of Mr. DeBlois. Tue life of a politician has never been according to the taste of Mr. DeBlois; and though repeatedly pressed by his friends to nominate for re-election to the Legis- lature, he has announced his decision not to be avain a candidate No man has served the interests of his country and his party more honestly and zealously than Mr. DeBlois; and, in retiring he declares that he is an ardent supporter of the Government, and will do everything he can to secure the return of the candi- dates nominated on its behaif.

Liberal-Conservative Meeting.
THE CITY CANDIDATES—HON, NEIL MACLEOD, AND PATRICK BLAKE, ESQ.
A MEETING of Liberal-Conservatives was held in the Athenseum on the evening of the 18th instant, John T. Jenkins, M. D., in the chair, the undersigned Secretary. After a few opening remarks by the Chair- man, the How. G. W. DeBlois warmly thanked the party who, for several elections chose him as their representative. As he had other duties which demanded his atten- tion and wished now to see others come forward and take up the onerous duties of representative. of Charlottetown, he said he would decline further nomination; but would use all his influence to support the present party of economy and retrench- inent
Tue Hon. Netz McLeop was then pre- yosed by Mr. Paul Lea and seconded by Dr. Creanier, which nomination was unani- mously aceepied.
Patrick Brakes, Esg., was proposed by Mr. Adam Murray, seconded by CU. C. Gardiner, Esq. Motion carried unani- mously.
After speeches by the Hon. G. W. DeBleis, D. Ferguson, Neil McLeod, and W. W. Sullivan, the meeting adjourned tili the 19th inst., at 8 o'clock, p. m., in the Athenzeum.
Three cheers for the candidates were then proposed, and were heartily responded io.

The Cpposition Meeting.
NO PLATFORM: OPPOSITION BY THE OPPO- SITION— NOTHING MORE.
Tue Oppositionists of this City, with e number of their country friends, met last night in a room above the office of Messrs. Warburton and Conroy. Thomas W. Dodd, Esq., M.L.C., oceupied the chair. About eighty porsons were present including ex- Governor Laird, Hon. D. Davies, William Welsh, Esa., Dr. Beer, R. Sloggett, Eaq., and a posse of disappointed office hunters.
The Chairman, with a few short remarks introduced Mr. Morris, who delivered him- self of a speech which fer eloquence and information, surpassed all his efforta during a decade of experience in the City Council. it however contained nothing definite about the course which he would (if elected) pursue. It did not teuch on any reform which he would make in local matiers; it did not disapprove of one act of the present Government ; in fact it proved conclusively the chief object of Mr. Morris in entering the contest is to secure the appendix M.P.P. Nothing more. His speech, it is, needless to say, was disappointing, aud fell flat on an audience which was inclined to be horridly enthusiastic.
Mr. Morris has, in some respects, an equal in his colleague. Mr. Peters is a young man, he said, who has no political experience, and he therefore thought that the Grit party conferred a great compliment by asking him to become their candidate. He admitted that he knew liitls about politics (which was evi- dent from his speech); but, in the same breath, asserted there was one thing evi- dent — ‘‘the present Government raoust go!” His reasons fer forming this resolu- tion were not explained; but are easily understood. He has accepted the nomina- tion of an iniquitous party and must therefore perform its wicked work. Thus he declares war without koowing anything about the cause for which he has to fight, or withont the faintest knowledge of his enemy's power. Who, then, will not pre- dict disaster ?
Hon. Daniel Davies was the next speaker. He said when he entered polit- ical life, he was like unto Mr. Peters.
long to any
He had no policy nor did*he be political party. He felt sure that the can- didates selected would meet the support of the party and, therefore, be successful. The reflection that Mr. Peters is beginning political life as did the Hon. Daniel Davies, is a sad one. We hope for Mr. Peters’ welfare, he will not continue in this course. Mr. Davies has had a more than ordinarily checkered career. Two-
thirds of his politieal life has been spent in
defeats were inglorious. Let Mr. Peters reflect on this, and steer clear of the

A. B. Warburton, Esq., thought the dis-
cussion of frivolous matters like the ‘‘policy of the Opposition” unealled
for. He therefore moved that the meeting proceed with the election of canvassing This was done, after Hon. D. Davies had cautioned the candidates, to be careful “not to commit themseives in forming a policy. ‘‘Make your platform- ing” said he ‘‘in general terms, in a loose kind of way.” Some one adds *‘ that’a the way the ex-Commissioner of Public Works, W. D. Stewart, comstructed bridges.” The motion to appoint Committees to canvass Wards was passed, but these Com- mittees could not be secured, as Ward 1 was among those not represented at the meeting. It was, therefore, decided to appoint a General Committee, and this Committee was appointed with a venge- ance. We daresay every one who attended the meeting was accepted as a Committee-man, and the names of many outsiders were added to the list. The Chairman of this formidable compact is David Lawson, Esq.
The Committees being appointed Ex- Governor Laird was called upon. He addressed the faithful in his own familiar style. His remarks were general and applied more forcibly to the scts of the Davies Government than to the acts of the present Administration.
Mr. James Carruthers, of Kensington, and James Laird, of New Glasgow, also spoke. Among other things, they stated that they remained in the city over night to attend the meeting, for the purpose of obtaining information regarding the policy of the Opposition ; but they were very much surprised to find the party without a platform. They expressed the hope that the policy with which they intended to test the country would be immediately drawn up (if such were pessible) and published, in order that the public might not be kept in the dark.
After a few remarks from Malcolm Me- Fadyen, Esq., Murray Harbor, and others, the meeting adjourned until Thursday night.

Te the Electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty.
GENTLEMEN,—I take this, !the earliest opportunity since information reached me that Writs for a General Election had been issued, to thank you publicly for the honor you have conferred on me, by returning me a3 one of yeur representatives in the House of Assembly, in three contested elections.
Asmany of you know, I did not covet a seat in the Assembly at any time,
and only accepted a nomination thereto at each of the last Gen- eral Elections because as a citizen I
felt that I ought not to allow political questions, of very great moment in my opinion, to be in the smallest degree im- perilled for want of candidates in the field touphold them. I am happy to think that this state of things does mot at present exist, and therefore it is not my intention again to seek your suffrages but to hold myself as an elector ready and willing to aid and support in every right and proper way any Candidates—my Honorable col-. leasue Mr. McLeod first amongst the number—who may off:r themselves at the coming election as supporters of the present Government. Again thanking you, I have the honor tn he, Your obedient Servant. G. W. DeBuots.
