William Paterson, M. P,
Mr. William Paterson, M. P., of Brant,
who is to speak at the Liberal meeting to
be held in Winglia,m, on Thursday evening
next, 14th instant, is one of the most
eloquent men in Canada. In a sketch
which appeared a short time ago in the
Globe it was said of him : He has always
shown a genuine and unselfish concern for
the interests of his country. The senti-
ments of patriotism permeate allhis public
utterances and in bis private iutercourse
there is the same high-minded regard for
the public welfare. Elis private character
is no doubt largely accountable for the
marked influence which he exerts through-
out Ontario. He is regarded by everyone
who knows him as the soul of generosity
and fairness. His ability both upon the
platform and the floor of parliament is of
the highest order. Few speakers have
such a flashy pithy style and none can With
more.force reach the convictions of his
hearers. A warm, sunny humor pervades
many of his speeches and those who have
heard him dissipate an opponent's argu-
ment with ridicule know how effective his
talent is in that direction. In all his po-
litical dealings he is punctiliously fair and
never a .trace of malice or anything ap-
proaching it enters into his utterances.
We believe we would be justified in saying
ho has not the illwill of any member with
"whom he has ever sat in. parliament. He
observes carefully the distinction between
personal and public questions so that al-
though the arraignments of conservative
policy are always direct and forceful, they
attract rather than antagonize, There has
been no more effective heard in the Con-
federate Parliament than when the power-
ful voice of the member for Snuth Brant
raised in indignation has filled the chamber
'with fervid vehemence or flashing sareaem.
Ile is one of the most companionable of
men, a staunch friend, an honorable op-
ponent, a. general favorite in parliament, a
clear-headed counsellor, a man of deep
religious as well as political convictions and
liberal in every thought. Few men in
political life in our country have possessed
so many popular qualities and none has
deserved more of popular respect and con-
fidence than the man of whem,if his friends
have any wish of a fault-finding nature, it
is that he might have more inclination for I
the honors which, his brilliant and leader -
like talents as well as his personal quail,
ties would bring to him if he would devote
himself more wholly to politica.
