FRIDAY, 031mm 13,, 1895 Mr Pedley, too. was nlOst cordially remixed by the supporters of Mr. Gillespie. who, too, with quite numer‘ ous. He began with a criticism of the . FinanCe Minister for failing to say a single word in explanation of the rea- son why the Government is asking the people of North Ontario to elect a sup- porter for a. sixth session. The reason was that it was proposed to deal with the Manitoba school question. The one thing that was important in choosing a representative for the sixth session was to find where the candidates of the Government stands on this question. ‘When the leader of the Government in the House of Commons asked the people of North Ontario to sup- port Mr. McGillivx-ay he must have somt understanding whereby Mr. Mc- Gillivray should support the legislation to be propsed by the Government. Mr. Gillespie was the only candidate who had come out definitely upon the point. He had declared that it he were elect- ed he would vote against remedial legislation. Mr. Pedley made a most en’ective speech in reply to the Min. later of Finance. exposed the econo- mic erros uDOn which the Govern- ment's policy is based. and laid bare the blemishes or its administration. He‘was givena rousing oheerst the conclusion. , ' ‘. memt. It the people did not- eloct Hr. -Ionivm they would be giving a. certificate 0! ohm “be“! ’8"?.n$n it?“ the Patron turned it ”muted - t monsoon-arias! «Nathan» um. a.» . ' ‘I “ ”‘uih‘fi‘cfim mutoon thst hum into maimply‘ (lemme. He had need a scodmnnyLibenlowho wenuhunâ€" ed of their policy. but Mr. Peale: we. so uhuned of hi: tint he had not mentioned it. It the people did not elect Mr. VMcGillimy they would be giving a. certificate of W to the Liberal policy. Dr. Montague now turned his nttention to the Peg-9n Mr. Wilson was givenamost hearty reception by his Patron friends, who were out in force. He said, alluding to Mr. Foster's carload 0t mutton table, that the Minister must think him a. whale, whereas he was only a farmer boy. But The Globe had not said that he had eaten a car-load of mutton. It all Mr. Foster’s statements were like this the people would have to take them with a grain of. salt. Mr. Wilson repeated his assertion that Australian mutton'was sent as far east as Mont- real. and amid tremendous applause he held aloft a tin of this article of food, which had Just arrived from that city, obedient to his order. "This is gospel truth,” he cried in triumph. “This is no statement about The Globe saying that I had eaten a carload of mutton.” Mr. Wilson contrasted the treatment meted out by the Govern- ment to the farmer with that accorded the manufacturer, showing that while the former is taxed up to the hilt upon the commodities that constitute his raw material, the latter is allowed free raw material. and reaps the advantage of a high tariff on his products. After the incident which has been alluded to, and which resulted in a Ministerial defeat, Mr. Foster pro- ceeded with his speech. He stated very frankly that he would not at- tempt to convert any Grits who might be present. He directed his remarks to the Conservative Patrons, whom he sought to reclaim. “As the Grit can- didate is not supposed to be in it. I’ll reserve my remarks for the Patron.” he said. Then he went on to present the Conservative policy and to reply to the c‘r‘ificisms which had been level- ed against it. by Patron speakers. He pointed out to the Conservative Paa- trons that while their candidate. it elected, would not exert any appreci- able influence upon legislation, there might be great danger of. smashing the Conservative party and putting the Grit party in power, Mr. Thomas Treleaven, Reeve of Bea.- verton, presided at the meeting here toâ€"night, which was large and suffi- ciently well mixed to be exceedingly interesting. - Mr. Pedley said that it was the first time he had ever been asked to open an opponent's meeting. On the plat- form were two of the abiest speak- ers in Canada. and he considered it only fair that one of them should be- gin by stating the policy of the Gov- ernment,the other being given the pri- vilege of winding up the meeting. This suggestion was greeted with the ap- plaus of approval, but still the Minis- ters would not yield. The chairman introduced Mr. Wilson, who character- ized it as the most peculiar proceeding that had_been indulged in since the campaign began. He insisted that one o! the Ministers should open the meet- ing. There was another outburst of applause, whereat the Ministers yield-- ed with as good a' grace as possible. and Mr. Foster consented to proceed. An incident occurred at the outset. By invitation of the promoters, Mr. Frank Pedley was present on behalf 01' Mr. Gillespie, and Mr .J. hckie Wilson on behalf of Mr. Brandon. The Ministers insisted that these gentle- men should first address the meeting for half an hour. The representatives of the Opposition candidate would not consent to this. whereupon the chair- man called upon Mr. Pedley to speak._ 7 , _ - By far the most interesting meeting was that held in Beaverton to-nlght, when the Ministers confronted spirited opposition upon the platform and in the audience. The meeting in the after-non at Sun- dreland. a Conservative stronghold, was satisfactory from the point of view or the Ministerial candidate. The audience was for the most part sym- pathetic. though there was a restraint to its enthusiasm. Hon. George E. Foster and Hon. Dr. Montague came out by the Midland Railway into the constituency. At Blackwater Junction the Ministers sep- arated, Mr. Foster bringing up at Sun- derland and Dr. Montague at Scott, at each of which places they addressed meetings. They reunited in the evning at Sunderland and came to Beaverton together. The Liberals are conducting a vigor- ous campaign. Mr. Gillespie's plat- form, both on the trade and school questions, has met with a gratifying degree of popular favor, and the an- omaly of Major McGilivray's position upon the latter is a source or strength for the Liberal candidate. The Patrons are sanguine, out they are not suffer- ing from an over-confidence that would cause them to relax their efforts to elect Mr. Robert C. Brandon. Beaverton. Dec. 9.â€"There never was a constltueuncy more thoroughly “worked" than North Ontario has been. ls being. and will continue to be until the poll closes. That the Government has a full realization of the signifi- cance of the contest has been made abundantly plain by the desperate et- tort it is putting forth to retain the seat. It has placed in the field in battle array an army of pilitical work- ers. at the head at which there have been four Cabinet Ministers and two Controllers.

A more practical measure is the new British scheme for subsidizing a 20- knot mail service with Canada. Sir Charles Tupper. who is one of Mr. Chamberlain's advisers on colonial questions. goes to Canada at once to arrange this subsidy business. The free ship advocates in America should make a note of it and also of Sir John Tenniel's cartoon in Punch. which de- picts a British shipbuilder in the act of locking up his yard and a work- man standing idle around the corner. while indignant Britannia asks whe- ther her fleet is to be built in Germany.

Lord James having be- come chairman of the Committee of Conference. New York. Dec. 8.-â€"Mr. Isaac N. Ford cables from London to The Tri- bune : The only public man who comâ€" mands attention is Mr. Chamberlain on colonial questions. His circular to the Governors of the Colonies asking how and why British exports are under-sold and displaced. and what products can be advantageously dis- posed of in the English Imperial mar- kets. has been discussed with much sclemnity as the beginning of an im- perial federation. It is hardly so im- D01 tant a movement as is represented. Less ambitious colonial omcials have been impressed with the expediency of securing as large a share as possible of mutual trade between the United Kingdom and the colonies. The pre- sent secretary will make up a fine blue book. but so long as England has no tariff he will not be able to form a British Zollverein or bring about an imperial federation. A vigorous protest. I hear. will be made by the agents of the Dominion Government. but so far no similar action seems to be contemplated by the Government of the United States. My information is that the Salisbury Cabi- net is determined to enforce the order. vilzatever may be the foreign opposi- t on. . The export at live stock from the L'nlted States to Britain is. I believe. constderable. An exhaustive govermental lnquiry was made recently regarding the scab disease but experts retuSe to certiry that it is contagious or infectious.
