of Catholics and Frenchmen by Mr.

the address of' the flame orator, while
canvassing the French Catholics of the,
eastern townships, in the campaign of
1886. Yours respectfully, ,

in Glengarry Cdunty, in the campaign

Canadian :—"The leader of the op-

done gallant work for the preservation
of British rule in this country, and
they are factors in moulding the des-

platform Mr. Meredith was escorted
to a cal -liege in waiting for him, and
headed by the brass band of the Fire
Brigade, was driven to the residence -
of Dr. Tennant, the Conservative nom
inee for the South Riding of Bruce,
followed by a large nuid)er of car

meeting the large new Town Hall was
packed„to the doors with an intelligent
audience, including many ladies

the meeting was opened on a moti
of Mr. J. C. Grundy, and .secorded by
Mr. 'J. A. Denning, that Mr. Robert
Purvis, ex -Reeve of ltinlOsS, occupy
the chair. Mr. Purvis, on corning to
the 'platform, thanked the audience
for electinghum to that position, and
in a.few words introduced Dr. Tennant
to address the meeting. '
The Doctor was received wit
cheers. He said he had adopted
atform upon which he intended to
and or fall on the. 5th of June, and
elected he would support any party
at would carry out the views con-
ined in it. He believed in all tax
emptions, .save on State property
ne, and that English should be the
guage of 'instruction • in • all the,
blit schools in Ontario. He con-
mned the Goverument for its.
nagement of the French schools in
Eastern Provinces, and strongly
vocated the appointment of a non
ideal head for the ,Educational
De-
tment. Referring' to the SeParate
iools he thought the time was ripe
the people of this Province to de-
nd their abolition. • We were told
t it was against the constitution of
.country to interfere with them,
they should not forget that it was
art of the constitution of the
ited States that slavery should .be
rated in certain States, .and
t was the result ? The people of
t country said no, and mullions of
ars and thousands of of lives were
liked to. bring about the Change in
constitutipn. He charged . the
ernment with creating a monopoly
he school books and said that dur-
the last four years the eountry had
thousands of dollars ,by this
opoly. The Government, he said,
wasted our resources, and declared
no sale of timber limits or mining
s should be disposed of without
consent of the Legislature. In
ng with the liquor question, he
the power of granting , licenses
appointing of commissioners should
ken out of the hands of the Gov-
ent and placed in the hands Of
County Councils, and that all
nes arising from them should be
to the municipalities in which
are collected. The Doctor' spoke

. Mr. Meredith thanked the members
of the Association for the kind words
contained in the addregs, and expressed
the ' great pleasure he felt at . the
hearty reception given to him by the
peeple on this his first visit to the
village of Lucknow. He was pleased
to see such a large number of ladies
present, although -he was•not one who.
(wished to extend to them the 'allot in
a contests of this kind, as he believed it
was not in the interests of the . ladies
themselves or the country, that they
should mix up in party' pelitics. He
•raid we had already top much party
feeling in this country, and he would
• judge by the applause that greeted Dr
Tennant.. when he Adeclared that Mr.
Mowat was right in selling the timber
by auction, that there were a number.
of Reformers present, but he hoped
they would give him a fair hearing,.
and then judge. his .platiorm on its
.rnerits, and not from a party stand-
point. He did not come ,here to abuse
any party ,Or to say an unkind word
against . any member of the Govern-
ment, but.he would judge them. alone
upon their public . acts, and in
referring the financial affairs
of ,the Government he compared the
management of the resources of the
Province under the rule of Mr. Mowat
with the prudent husbanding of its
assets that had characterized his. pre-
decessor, and delt on the manner in
which our • great assets in timber had
been squandered and depreciated.
Speaking of the oft-repeatedanswer_.
• givenin to charges of this
.nature, that the' policy is the same as
that which prevails at Ottawa, he
said he was not here to defend the
Ottawa authorities, and if they clid
wrong it was no reason why the
Ontario Government should follow in
their footsteps. Ile next.spoke of the
plea of the Government supporters
• that they had passed a numberi of good
laws, but he claimed that a large share
of that credit is due to the opposition,
and read. from the records of the
House, number ,of resolutions that
had been proposed by himself and
colleagues, but which were always
voted down • by the Government
majority. Ile spoke against the
centeraliting policy of Mr. Mowat and

depended on it for their positiotv ited
salaries. He attacked the Malin& in-'
'which the hotel keepers were' pieced, •
through the commissioners, at the
mercy of the Government, and said•'
their appointments should be left to
the people. This, he said, was• a,'
method less calculated to make the'
liquor traffic a powerfulpelitical-facter,
such as it is at the present tirne.,. In
speaking of the educational interests
of the Province, he said it was a great
mistake to have committed it to a
political head. No matter how pure
politics might be, and he would not
say one word against politicians or
their_rnethods, dangerous to
bring into the arena in which they are
struggling the education of the children -
of this country, and for this 'cause lie
favored a system with a head, who

the charges made by Mr. Craig in the
Legishature, andhow he had alleged
that the French language was being
taught in the schools in the counties
of Prescott and Russel, and that text
books of an unauthorized and tindesir-
able character were in use, and how
the Minister of Education had given
the.charges a clear denial, and at first
refused the demand for an inyestigiv• ,
tion, This commission was finally •
appointed and 'notwithstanding the
denial of - Mr. Ross, that Com
missioner had found that the charges
were fully borne out by the facts sub-
mitted to it as evidence. He reiterated
the stand he had taken on the Separate
School question. He felt it to have
been a great pity that it should ever
have been thought necessary to have
Separate Schools, for the existence of
which he could see no good reason.
But their existence being guaranteed
by the constitution, it -Was inanifestiy
the duty of all good citizens, until a
radical change can be affected„ to see
that the interpretation put on the •
Separate School law is that, which it ,
as intended it should bear, and not'
e interpretation the hierarchy seek

tters and pastorates from 'Bishop
'Connor and Archbishop Cleary to
ow how the hierarchy looked on
ese..schools •as subjezt. to to their
solute rule in all particulars, and •
though it was supposed there was
Ontario an entire separation of •
