Henry Landerkin bas been nominâ€"| ated as opposition canmiilate in Noith | Duifferin, Manitoba. He is a brother of seemed to take the view that since Sir John had been to all the tronble of gerry umandering the constiinency, it was the theight of impudenee for uny one but a tory to attemnt to curry the sent. So ever since Mr. Langford announced his candidature he has been subject to ull sorts of illâ€"treat ment. . Mobs have marched past his house shonting «t bim, aud nsing abusive lanâ€" goage. Heand his Lumily haye been aysâ€" tematically insulted on the streets, and even as they passed in and ont of eharch. To snch a leugth did this proceed that Jr. Laugford had at last to withdraw from the ehuich of which be was a member, and to join another. Not coutent with abusing hius personally, his enemies even went the leogth of disfigwring his horses. These little people of London townahip are showâ€" ing the true old Tory spirit, but we tha bope that such a capacity to display conâ€" temmptible meanuess had ubuut died out in ‘ Those few Canadians who are still under the delusion that they live in a free counâ€" $ry will be pained to hear of the treatâ€" ment which has been accorded by his neighbore to Mr. Isaae Langford, of Eat Middlesez. That gentleman had the audâ€" acity to put himself forward at the last eleo tion as an Independent candidate for the House of Commous. His doing so deeply offended the Couservative population with which be is surrounded. His neighbors their coustitueuts next year. On the whole it is not to be wondered at that, now it is decided the seâ€"sion shall be an early en*, the prospect of meeting should have lost all theuttractivenoss it possessed beâ€" fore the bye siections came off, aa interesting oneoâ€"a fightins sessonâ€" that is, if the Opposition has any fight l«ft in it. There will be a xrnu‘r opportunity for every Conservative member to put himâ€" self on record as a traitor to his Province and as in thorough disaccord with the inâ€"> tion upon the Boundary Question for whch he yoted two years ago. Every one of them can signify his hearty consent to the degradation of his native province. Every one of them can express the sctisfuction with which he regards the institation of Bleu domination over Outario‘s private af fairs. Every one of them can magnaniâ€" mously relinguish the Province‘s rights to| the vast miuveral, agricultural, and I'nre»tl weulth of the Debatable Land. Every | one of them can exprese his preat and holy | joy concerning the N. P. and the price nf! wheat. It will indeed be an inspiring i sight to see these gentlemen creating for themselves a record on which to appeal to | Baxoarms in new fruit at Purker‘s Drug â€"â€"In regard to the next meeting of the Outario Legislatore the Glob« says :â€"The session, being the last one before the genâ€" eral election, will, it is to be presumed, be i1deal than being a hewer of wood and drawer of water, must have a good acâ€" quaintance with in these times in which we live, _ It is requested that the names of those who purpose attending these classes wnll be given to the librarian, Mr. Miller, ou Friday evening. \ ideal than being a â€"We are glad to learn, that, among the many goud things which the Directors of the Mechanica‘ Institute bave in contem pl:tion for tie people of Durham, evening elasses for young men have a place.

In fuet to be brief, what little | authority there was verted in the binds ‘ of the people has been centralized in a |Cnbiufl consisting of 5 lawyers out of 6 mdividuals." Is this so? _ According to | the dootrine of the Tory Chieftain, Sir ’J »lm A.

It would be quite rght to muke more druukenness on Saturday night, if Sir John says so. The electors can see throngh this double dealing and will no donbt sns tain the present member in his seat whan the time comes for a new election. It is a very sati<factory state of affairs when the only dnrpulnsma-mmponry brings | egaingt the yresent Goverement of Oviar." The second sentence is "The Sohool Law amendments have disgusted everyâ€" one? Is this a trathfal statement, or is there some mistake about it? Whieh is it ? â€" There wore seven byeâ€"elections a week or two ago, and the people must have been baully disgusted with the School Jaw amendâ€" ments, and the Mowat Government generâ€" ally when they returned siz supporters of Mr. Mowats Government, out of the seven memvers elected, by lurge majorities, being a gain by the Liberai party of two memâ€" bers. best exertions in secnuring a bonus from \the Ontario Government to help to lighten the trxes of the people, so that on this head he should be returned ny a larger majority than ever before. But how does this tally with the course pursued by the Conservative â€" Governmentâ€"in power in the Dominionâ€"which has been endorsed and upheld by the Chroxicle, and which it atill upholdsâ€"in the monstrons Canadian Pueisfic Railway Monopoly in Manitobnand 11‘.0 North West, where the poople, almost as a whele, Liberal and Conservative, are driven to the point of rebellion on accounnt of the way they aro ground down by the exhorbitant freights, and other charges, i [culy ancther mode of taxing) imposed hy‘ this lhmge inonopoly, and the determina ‘ tion of Sir Jir Jolin A.

But let us analyze it a little and see whethâ€" er there is any truth in these three stateâ€" ments : 1stâ€"*"The railway %niu have gained every advantage over the peopleand the latter are burdenea with heayy taxes." Who are the companies? First we will say is the Georgian Bay & Wellington Railway Company. This company was organized and asked for a charter, wlhich very properly was granted, lo build a road from Palmerston to Durham for the first part, and to be continued on to some point on the Georgian Bay for the seceond part. _ *""The present member has represented this constitnency for a number of years, and what is the resalt ? The railway comâ€" panies have gained every advantage over the people and the latter are burdened with heavy tazes. The school law amendments have diegr«ted everyone; the in=pection and regulation of the liquor trafie have heen mude more intmcite and expensive. In fies, to be brief, what little authority there was vested in the Lands of the people hbas been centralized in a Calinet conâ€" -i~ltin¢ of five lawyers out of siz indnâ€"id-l nale«," ’ The Chronicle publishes im its isame of the 16th instant a leading article nnder the [hud of "A Reminisence." Oun perusing iit we find a larger portion of the article in what purports to be a letter from Archbishâ€" op Lyuch some years ago, and repullished in the Mail.
