IBERAL CONSERVATIVE

Tue Liberal-Conservative Conference of this year was, we think, decidedly the satisfactory ever held in this

Many deiegates attended,

some of our leading and men of business and of the Province were well re#

A spirit of uaanimity and coufidence prevailed throughout, and the proceedings were conducted upon business principles. Officers were first vlected provision made for the organization of the party throughout the country. To theend that prompt and successful aetion may be taken in the event ofan election, it is hoped that all persons whe are in favor of progress and reform, and all opponents of the extra- vagent and g¢orrupt combinations now mismansging public affairs and heaping up debt, will heartily co-eperate with the convepers in their respective districts. As the Leader of the Opposition remarked at the elose of the conference, we koow not how soon a provincial election may take place; but we do know that there must, in any case, be an appeal to the country ere many months have passed. It is not to be supposed that Mr. Fred Peters, Q. C., will again come all the way from British Columbia to save his friends ; and, if not, itis hard to see how the Farquharson Administration can con- tinue to hold office after the meeting of the Legislature. Therefore, let the Op- position, in the country as well as in the Legislature, be ready.

The resolutions passed by the confer- ence bore, for the most part, upon ques~ tioos in which the progress and prosperity of the country are bound up,—though we are pleased to note the fitting recognition of the cervices of Sir Charles Tupper, and the Hon. Daniel Gordon and his support- ers and the Legislature, as well as the tribute that was paid—on motion of bis many-years neighbor and friend, Mr. W. | E. Daweon,—to the memory of the Jate Malcolm McLecd, Esquire, Q.C,

There was @ strong and wholesome ex- pression Of Opinion concerning the politica] immorality of those who make promises before an election and break them after- wards. Those who protest tothe electors that they will be more ecenomical than their predeceseors and prove to be more extravagant, who eay that they will, in any case, make ends meet and goon to heap up agreat burden of debt, who lay down ae line of policy and follow enother, de- serve the ceverest reprobatien of the de- ceived electors. There is a elear and Simple methed of precedure, described by the words “‘yote them down” aod “turn them out;” and it is the duty of every honest and independent man, who desires to see his country well and econemically governed te adopt it.

The resolutions paseed concerning means af transport between thie province andthe Mainland, together with ‘‘cold storage,” railway rates and winter com- munication, are all of the highest import ance, and will, we feel sure, be agreed with by all progressive men who have the interests of this province at heart.

THE LIBERAL CON- SENVATIVE CONFERENCE.

Yesterday's Afternoon Meeting-Im

portant Resolutions Passed.

At the afternoon session the newlye elected president, Mr. Alexander Martin, M. P., wok the chair. He thanked the confereace for the honor that had been done him and expressed his intention of deing everyth'sg ia hie power to promote the interests of the Liberal—Conservative party.

Mr. Wm. Cempbeli, M. L. A., Hon. Daniel Gordon, leader of the opposition in this province, and Mr. J. T. Meliish; then delivered short addresses, expressing their appreciation of the valuable serviees ren~ dered the party by the retiring presi-

dent, Hon. Senator Ferguson, and expressing their confideace in his successor in office. Mr. Mellieh

moved that the thanks of the conference be tendered Senator Ferguson for his able conduct as President.

The resolution was seconded and unani- mouely adepted.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson made a fitting ac~ knowledgement.

Moved by Hon. Senator Ferguson, and seconded by J. T. Mellish, Keq,—

Reselved, That we the members of the Liberal Conservative Conference of Prince Edward Island desire to recerd our hearty appreciation of the ‘magnificent services rendered to Canada by Sir Charles Tup- per, Bart., during an already prolonged public life all of which bas beer un- sparingly devoted te the promotioa of the best intereste of our common country, and we rejoice in the fact that Divine Providence continues to youchsafe to bim so fu!l a measure of health and strength as to justify the confident kope that his great experience, thoroughly tried honesty and unrivalled ability will beavailable at an early day for the position of first Minister ef Can- ada.

Moved by Hon. Daniel Gordon,seconded by Hon. Senator McDonald,—

Resolved, That in the opipion of the members of this couference the action of the colonies in volunteering aseistance to Great Britain in repelling the invasion of British territory in South Africa and in maintaining the righte of British eubjects in territories withio the spbere of Brit sh influence is a matter of congratulation; but we regret that this step was not taken by the Government of Canada with the tame alacrity and cordiality. asin tue other self-governing colonies of the Em- pire.

Moved by Cyrus Shaw, M.L. A. and seconded by Gilbert DesRoche, M.L.A.—

Resolved, That inthe opioion of the Liberel Conservative Conference of Prince Eiward Island,this day assembled, it is the manifest duty of the Government of the Dominion of Canada not only tu defray the expences of all supplies, armaments and transportation of troops furnished by Canada for active service in the war in South Africa, but also to provide for the payment ofall officers, men and atten- dants that may be deemed necessary to be furnished by Canada for the defence and maintenance of the British Empire.

Moved by John McLean, Erq., eeconded by C. C. Gardiner, E-q.,—

Resolved, That the proposition of the present Government to ehange the con- titution of Parliament by providing for a joint vote of both houses on measures regarding which a disagreement may arise would swamp the influenceof the emalier proviuces and imperil the con- stitutional right of the eleciorate to be ap- p-aled to regarding any new and impori- ant question.

Moved by Murdock McKinnon, M. L. A., seconded by John McQuaid,—

Reselved, That the attempt made by the present Federal Government daring last session to disturb the beundaries of par- jiamentary conetitueacies with the avowed purpose of promoting the interest of the dominant party notwithstanding the constitutional requirement that a redis- tribution based on the result of the census shall be made in less than two years, cal!s for our strongest reprobation, especially as the proposed changes in this Province were in violation of the principle of representation by population and were in other reepects detrimental to the proper representation of the people in Parlia- ment.
