WI- [From the Fenelon Falls Gazette] The campaign is being vigorously prose- cuted, and from all parts of the riding come the most cheering assurances of a large majority for Mr. John A. Barron, who has proved to be the most active and useful representative North Victoria has ever had. Wherever he goes his good humor and urbanlty as well as his argu- ments increase his already greatpopularity, while Sam Hughes is making a fool of imself, as usual, by his slanderous attacks upon his opponents, his irritability and splenetic utterances. At Baisever, the other evening, Mr. Jonathan Foliiotte, a ‘ well-known and respected resident of the vicinity, and a local preacher, asked Mr. Hughes what he would do about the pro- hibition petition now in circulation. Sam tried to avoid giving a direct answer by saying that he had not made up his mind as to what he would do; but, upon being pressed by Mr. Foiliotte, at last said:â€" “Show me the petition. and I’ll tell you in ten seconds what_I’ll do.” As Mr. Folliotte had not got the petition and could not show it, the matter dropped; but next day at Kirkfield it was spoken of, and Mr. Hughes coolly remarked, with his usual disregard for consequences. that Mr. Folli- otte was “slippery Methodist and a dâ€"d hypocrite!” Anywhere and everywhere, in print and out of it, Mr. Barron's self- constituted opponent is the same old unsavory Sam, heaping insult and abuse on all who in any way offend him. The Watchman’s article, from which we quoted last week, has done the “Conservative nominee for North Victoria’ a great deal of harm. We heard long ago that Mr. Hughes. when he came to Lindsay, tried to buy THE POST, and finding it was not for sale, but that the Warder was, pur. chased the latter and turned tory; and it now turns out that what we heard was perfectly true. According to the Watch- man, Sam had some compunctions about flopping over so suddenly; but “it was a question of of money with him.” he said, and he flopped. We are inclined to think that he is not the stud‘ successful candi- datesare made of. Other men have changed sides in politics. either conscientiously or for “money," and have got into parliament; but they have not studionsiy and wantonly insulted Catholics, Methodists and Fresh!- teriane, and have not “stood alone in the distribution of filth,” as Sam Hughes has. Possibly he simply wishes to become a defeated candidate, as it will give him a certain claim on the Dominion government. If so, he is almost certain to have his wish. But suppose the Dominion government be defeated, tool Mr. J. L. Hughes of Toronto came down from Toronto to the relief of his brother and spoke at Woodville and Fenelon Falls. but by his violence and personalities made a. very unfavorable im ression. Dr. Mc Alpine also made an “e oquent" appeal to the electors at Fenelon Falls to support the “family compact.” An absurd and ridiculous attempt has been made by Mr. Hughes to show that Mr. Barron is unwilling to meet him in joint public discussion, and, of course, there is the customary misrepresentazion in the Warder. Mr. Barron Iold Mr. Hughes at Coboconk on the morning of the 13th that his meetings had been arranged for ri ht up to the end of the campaign,and that e could not re arrange meetings to please Mr. Hughes without neglectin to go to important portions of the ri in included in his program. Mr. Barron coul not of course make arrangements until he was formally nominated. and could not pay any atvention to letters that had no date or that were ante-dated. Mr. Barron stated to Mr. Hughes that if the latter wished to come to Mr. Barron’s meetings he would not only have ample time and fair play but at some meetings where he wished he could have the re ly to Mr. Barron. Nothing could have en fairer had Mr. Hughes been sincere in his desire to secure joint meetings, especially as his own meetings had not then been arranged. Hr.

In the north riding Mr. Barron has been carrying on a vigorous and successful campaign in the way of public meetings and organization, and the prospects are excellent, but he has a reckless and un- scrupulous opponent, who will hesitate at nothing to secure a vote or traduce Mr. Barron. He is bound in desperation to overcome if possible the personal popular ity of Mr. Barron and the general and cordial appreciation of his personal worth and of the material services he has render ed to the riding.

All the Dominion ministers are fighting for their political lives. Mr. Carlin is likely to be beaten in London. and Sir ohn Mac- donald’s chances in Kin ton are very slim.

Though the government’s Toronto cam- paign sheet is beating tom toms at a tremendous rate. and publishing lists of bogus “converts” there is a striking lack of confidence and enthusiasm among the Ontario conservatives. They do not like the idea of having a public servant ‘ like Tupper brought here to bulldoze them. and the feeling among the farmers is such that many predict a “landslide” such as that which buried the republicans and combinesters of the United States in N ovember; 7 It la 3 nylon; reduction 01’ tho lute mu It is considered most extraordinary that Sir John Macdonald can find nobody to take the stump for him in Ontario but the head and founder of the greedy Tupper familyâ€"the man who draws $15,000 ayear from the Dominion treasury for acting the part of olitical heeler.

In South Victoria the proceedings were merely formal. There was no public meeting. â€" _-â€"_ iiiâ€"all filoâ€"537W“ The election of Hon. J. M. Gibson on Tuesday by the surprising and tremen- dous majority of 715 or more, is a most significant sign of the times, and a fore- runner of the great “Land-slide” to be ex- pected on the 5th of March. This tre- 'mendous triumph of the reform party will give a big boom to the prospects of the liberal candidates in the Dominion elec- tionsâ€"not only in Hamilton. but through- . outthe province. Nothing succeeds like success, and the moral power of a victory like Hamilton will give new courage to workers, decide the wavering and solidify the ranks of liberals, who will be greatly cheered by the prestige of the present as the omen of future success. Let liber- als everywhere gird on their amour afresh, and put forth every nerve from now. The time for argument will soon be over, and the hour for hard work is at hand. No vote is good unless it is polled. See that it is polled, and polled early. A vote polled for reciprocity and reform at ten o’clock can’t be “mesmerized” at three in the afternoon.

After what we have seen on the streets of Toronto during the last few weeks. when large bodies or men clamouring for work agpealed to the mayor to do something for t em to enable them to stave off the pangs of hunger that their wives and little ones were enduring. and after what I know is the case in nearly all of the rural sections of the province. tha‘ hundreds of our small farmers and settlers are scarcely able to ‘eke out a miserable existence In conse quence of the absolute impossibilit of selling any of the natural products 0 the farm or field owing to the effect of the McKinley bi l, I cannot understand why the government of the day is now endea- voring by raising side issues (which have nothing in them) to turn the attention of the people from the real question of the hour, namely, who are most likely to be able to obtain for us at the earliest possible date a market to sell our produce in at reasonable rates and the capital we require to employ our surplus labor, which would most probably be expended in developing the enormous natural resources that we hale at our verv doors. W. H. Locmum: Gannon. Toronto, Feb 20 A few days ago I addressed a letter to the Mail newspaper asking the leader of each party to let me know what their real policy was on this important question. and although since then several addresses have been made by prominent members of the conservative party. and we had ~he great honor of receiving in Toronto and hearing ‘ the great chief himself and his right hand man, the hub commissioner from Eng land. who must both be fully posted upon all the negotiations that are going on be ween the governments of Eng and. Canada, and the United States, I cannot find one sentence in any of these addresses which shows me that these gentlemen are anxious to bring about a satisfactory commercial arrange- ment with the Uni ed States; on the contrary. were i' not for the reasons given out by the right hon. gentleman at the head of the government for the present dissolution. one would think from their addresses that it was the liberal party who were anxious to make an arrangement with the United States, and that the elections had been called on to enable the government to show what an utterly wicked, treasonable and disloyal thing even the smallest increase of trade in that direction would be. __ _._- ----__ __V,-,V__r_, Up to the present time I have always been a faithful supporter of Sir John Macdonald. never having given a vote against him during the twenty years I have resided in Canada. but as the ques- tion now before the public is one of vital importance to this country. and. in fact. I believe Canada remaining a part of the British empire will greatly depend upon whether we now return to parliament men who are really anxious to make a reason- able commercial arrangement with the United States. I think that it is incumbem on all the loyal people of this Dominion to support on] those whom we believe are in earnest in t is matter. _ Although I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance, yet as I have the strongest opinion that unless some com- mercial arrangement is mode with the United States on a. broad and solid basis at an early da‘e we shall be forced by the general depression, and in order to stop the exodus from our coun=ry that is now gain? on. to accept almost any terms the peop e of the Uni ed States {nay see fit to offer us.

[TotheEditor oi Tm: Poet] 518,â€"A good many hone-st. law-abiding. church-going and God-tearing people in this constituency have been hoping that some other candidate than Mr. Hughes would have been brought out by the conservatives. I do not say anything as to Mr. Bughes’s attacks on the Roman Catholics, though I think them uncalled tor, and especially his disgusting state- ments about Catholic women, and his alanders about the priests. The Catholics can take care of themselves. and it there are any of them going to vote for Mr. Hughes why let them. That is more than any Protestant would do it similar attacks were made on us and our wives. or mothers, and our cie men were slander- ed in a similar way. at we Protestants cannot lcok without alarm upon Mr. ‘ Hughes’s assaults upon religion of any kind and every kind. He has frequently declared in his paper and otherwise that “he did not care a dâ€"m (or the religious side or the bloody thing" and he upholds and giorifles Buddhism, Mahommedanism and ether isms as equal to it not better than our Christianity. I happened to be in a leading Protestant church in Lindsay some time ago and was surprised to hear the elcquent young minister declare that that it he had a family there was one paper in town (meaning the Wards!) that he would not allow into the house. (I was surprised at the minister's courage. because he may expect a bitter personal attack from the Warder some of these ‘ days.) How can we vote for a man who is constantly running down the Christian religion? As an Orangeman he ought to uphold religion; but we know he is a new- made member-and one for revenue only. His remark some days ago in the presence of several respected citizens that a citizen of excellent character, a God-tearing and just man. was “a slippery Methodist and a dâ€"d hypocrite." because he did not happen to chime in with the tune‘ he (Mr. Hughes) wasjust then playing. shows his true color and what he would do. But his violent assaults upon our respected Brother Dewey showed his recklessness and malice. We should be on our guard against such a man.

[To the Editor of Tan 9051.] Sunâ€"When a man knows his business and hasagoodcause he will uphold it by sound arguments. That Sir John A. Macdonald knows his business no one doubts. It therefore in his manifestoto the Dominion and csmpaign ad- dresses Sir John employs arguments that are not sound. we may justly conclude that his cause is not good. and that he knowsit. Noone has a more thorough grasp of the political tenets of the day than the Dominion premier. and no one in fair debate can plead more clearly and more convincingly than the old chieftain. But at this juncture the old gentlemen forgets his llferecoidof courtesy. and calls hard names. very hard names: therefore he thereby admits thathis position is bad. and that his defences are useless. The issues before the country are surely very serious. ailecting perhaps forever the welioheing and future destinies of our coun- try. and upon these issues the Canadian elector- ate is called upon in a few days to pronounce a iinal verdict. Now then. if ever. it is the duty ofail true patriots. regardless of mere party consideration. to enlighten the electors by candid and dispamionate statements. and it is wicked for anyone to try and bemuddle their better judgment by dangerous appeals. That men clever and true may honestly difl'er about pre- sent issues I will readily admit. butiftrue to themselves and our common country they will have due regard for the convictions of fellow- citizens as_good_as themselves: they will not get The farmers ere not so eesiiy united, and s are» msny vote with their party and sacrifice their interests.
