Is it true that ‘ta solid Liberal contingent ” was sent to Ot- tawa from this Province for the reason that ‘in Prince Edward Island ” it is ‘* impos- sible to spend public money except on a fow wharves and lighthouses?’ We all know that not one of these statements is true. Hqually false are the other statements of this traitor on whose behalf our Patriot (save the mark !) has entered so many false pleas.

Hou. Alex. Mackenzie, who says he is op- posed to a Zollverein and customs dis. crimination against Great Britain.

Hon. Wm. Macdpngall, whose U. E. blood revolts against the degrading policy of his purty.

Mr. Silas Alward, M.L.A., of St. John, who openly supports the policy of hia old opponents.

Mr. 2. G. Smith, of Northumberland, an old supporter of Hon, Mr. Mitchell,

Mr. J. P. Tanton, of Charlottetown, who ahjects te the position taken by the Opposi- tion respecting the trade question.

Me. Edgar Jadge, of Montreal, who regards hie party's policy ag unwise and unpatriotic.

Mr. Gordon Brown, of Toronto, former manager of the Globe.

iix-Ald Stephen, of Halifax, former presi- dent of the Reform Association.

Mr. A. A, Stockton, M.L.A., of St. Jon.

lion. Mr. Pugasley, solicitor-general of New Lrunswick, who appears on Mr. Foster’a platiorm.

The Huntington Gleaner, which says Cart- wrigst and Laurier do not represent the Liberal party.

The Chatham, N. B., Advance, which re- fuses to support Hon. Mr. Mitchell on his commercial union platform.

And the returns are not all in yet ! Queen's County. Yue candidates for Qneens have

throughout the past week, been busily em- ployed in the Belfast district. Gentlemen belonging to the district inform Tr Ex- AMINBR that both the Liberal-Conservative candidates created a decidedly favorable impression. Mr. Biake, though not yet free (rom indisposition, put the points in the issue clearly and vigorously, and by his gentlemanly bearing, won the good-will of even his opponents. Mr. Ferguson was, it is generally admitted, very effective in his replies to Mr. Davies. The latter is wel! enough when he has a good case and an op- ponent who doesn't know as much as he does. But all his ability as a special plead- er can not avail to cover up the essential weakness of Unrestricted Reciprocity or the carelessness of his conduct respecting the tunnel, while his glib talk and rhetorical flourishes are as mere wind when compared with the plait ixcts and strong Saxon Eng- lish of Mr. Ferguson. As a Belfaster re- marked a few years ago, ** Donald floors him every time.’ The Conservatives of Belfast are not now under the disadvantage of having a voters’ list from which many of their names are omitted ; and we believe that-they will have a good many accessions rom the ranks of the Opposition.

Notes and Comments. -~The editor of the Patriot addressed the meeting at Keningston, and never said a word about thetunnel' Fact.

—The Toronto Globe, received yester- day, says, under the heading of *‘Govern- ment Boodle”: ** Tha Ottawa Government has taken hold of the Prince Edward Island tunnel scheme for the purpose of the elec- tion.”

—The Patriot has not yet uttered a word on the John Y. Ellis matter. Does our contemporary bolieve, with its grit con- frere, the Telegraph, that ‘‘nothing but de- feat awaits the party which does not ‘‘dis- own John V. Ellis 7”

Excellent Prospects.

A meeting was held at Wood Islands on Wednesday afternoon. H. C. MeMil- in the chair. There was 4 large attendance of electors, and the best oi order was maintained throughout. The meeting was addressed by Messrs Ferguson, Blake, Davies and Welsh, all of whom were given % good hearing. Judging from the tone of this meeting, the prospects tor Fereuson and Blake are excellent.

Rousing Meeting Brookfield,

Bright Prospects for the Conservatives,

a

at

The meeting at Krookfield last night wae a big one anc “gome rattling speeches were made, The feeling in favor of the Liberal-' Conservative candidates was very pronounced, and augurs for theic sncce ss atthut piace on election day. Mr Murdock MeLeod occupied the chair.

Donald MeKay, 4. P. P., was the speaker, bor hali an hour he dealt with the questions of the day ably and weil,

Donald Fargubarsop, M. P.P., telowes, speaking for three quarters of an hour,

Hon. David Laird, who cine next, went out of his way to inform the electors that Mr. J. P: Tanton, of Charlottetown, had gone over to the Iaheral-Conservative party because he feared tliat unrestricted reciprocity would kill the j ork trade; and then went on to try to prove that pork was free anyway under the reciprocity treaty of 1954!

Mr. Tanton, who was present, then took the platform to reply to Mv. Laird, This move atruck consternation into the grits, and a cowardly and deliberate atiempt was made to shut off discussion.

Mr. Farquharson, who had himael! taken up the time of the meeting forthree quar- ters of an hour, moved that Mr. Tanton be allowed ten minutes to explain.

Hon. B. Balderston did notagree exact- jy with Mr. Parquharson’s motion and moved in amendment that Mr, Tanton have fifteen minutes,

Mr. McKay moved in amendment that Mr. Tanton be allowed half an hour.

Mr. McKay’s motion was strongly op- posed by Mr. Farquharson and the other Grits present, but the motion on being put was carried by the Conservatives. _

Mr. Tanton then preceeded with his speech, paying special attention to Mr. Laird, giving that gentleman one of the severest castigations he ever received, ex- posing the fallacy of his proposition that they were going to make up their deficit by additional duties upon silks and satins. He challenged Mr. Laird or any luminary of the Grit party to a fair discussion of the trade question. He said he respected Mr, Farquharson a3 a shipper and a business man, but the last thing Mr. Laird was qualified for was to deal with trade matters,

r. Laird was well paid for all the services he rendered to the country, but in deal- ing with matters of trade he wes altogether at sea, If time per- mitted he could produce figures upon the trade question sufficient to bury Mr. Laird together with Farrar, Wiman, and the Globe and all the rest of the arch-traitors, at whose beck and nod Mr, Laird is bound to bend the knee.

Mr. Tanton challenged Mr. Laird to pro- duce the treaty of 1854, showing that pork was free. Mr. Laird could not produce the document.

Mr. Tanton concluded by eloquently ap- ss to the loyal people of Brookfield to stand by their country and save it from the hands of traitors.

A. B. McKenzie, M. L. C., followed.

A. A. MeLean then recalled to Mr, Laird’s mind some statements which he made at Hunter River.

Mr. Laird replied with such Billingsgate as ‘Your a liar,” etc.

‘The meeting closed Sir John!

SUMMERSIDE, Eeb. 21.

One of the laagest meetings ever held in Centreville was addressed yesterday for over three hours and a half—tirst by Hunt and then by Howlan. They were listened to with great attention and earnestness. When, at the close of Howlan's address, he appealed to them for their decision as to whether he should go further, or cease his agitation for the tunnel, he told them to stand up and show him, they rose as one man and cheered lustily, seying, **Go on, and we will support you to the end !”

Three rousing cheers were given for the tunnel, Sir John Macdonald, Howlan and Hunt, and three for the Queen.

The meeting then broke up with a vote of thanks to t!.e Hon, Stewart Burnis, the chairman.

This meeting ends the series of meet- ings held in the eastern end of the county, and the candidates go west to-day with the full assurance of the support from a eastern end such as has never been given since before the time of Confederation. The meetings for the western end open at Tignish on Monday.

Oa January lth, Donald Matheson came |

to my store and purchased from one of my

saying he wanted it for « bad pain in his eheat. After obtaining it he went away, and | it seema drank the greater part of it, and in | consequence, became helplesaly intoxicated Some of the anti-temperance party took up the matter, and, actuated by no praiseworthy motives, laid information against me with the City Marshal, who summoned me to snawer the charge of committing a breach of the C, T. Act.

According to the Act, I, as a! legally qualified chemist and draggist, am authorized to sell aléohol ef full strength fo medicinal, pharmaceutical, chemical and, mechanical uses, but the Act requires that each sele shall be accorded iu a book kept for the purpose, a requireiment of which Lwas a'to.- gether unaware, Forasmuch as such record wes not made in this case, | waa fined, not for the a«tual sale of the alcohol, which as far as it went was quite legal, bat simply because this requirement was not fulfilled. The Msg- istrat , in viving hie decision said *t Though | give his judgment without any doubt in my own mind as to its correctness, 1 regret its necessity, as from the evidence it appears that this isa violation of the letter of the Act, not its spirit, and that other druggis's in thie city, not knowing the law, though also tisking bona-fide sales for medicinal purposea, have not taken the precaution of | making a record of their sales and have thus} rendered themselves liable to prosecution.

As itis well known who were the active | moversin this prosecution, it is clearly seen why I was picked out from among the other dinggista of the city. Indeed, although the Act has been in force in different parts of the | Dominion for the past twelve yeara, this is} the first case on record where a druggist has been lined for the sale of this drug.
