The Exeter Advocate, 1896-6-18, Page 4i THE THE PREMIER'S (5"t" '*ctea .ei GRAND RECEPTIONI Cans. H, Sanders, Editor and Propt THURSDAY JUNE 18T1i 1896 THE MAN TO SUPPORT in considering the merits of Mr. W. Mt Hutchins, to again represent the North Riding of Middlesex, we feel it rsur duty to say a few words on his be - Neither the man, nor the great Opuseryative cause need much advo- cacy but we insist that the best inter- ests of the country will be subserved by :the return of our worthy candidate, Mr- iHutchins. A of sterling qualities, with a spotless record, public and pri- -vate, is again seeking your suffrage, and on the 23rd of June if the grand sold riding of North Middlesex does her duty as she has in the past he will be returned by an overwhelming majority. it has been said that Mr. Hutchins' re- pent vote on the Remedial Bill is some- ehing which the people of North Mid- dlesex should not tolerate, nor lose alight of when they go to the polls. Now let us view the situation and see how much Mr. Hutchins is to be condemned. in the first place if he had voted differ- ently he would have been unworthy of the suffrages of the electors of North Middlesex and of the trust reposed in him. He was elected to support the government, and he did so manly, and he took a solemn oath to uphold the constitution of his country and in this too he stood true to his pledge. For these reasons, and if for no other, he is entitled to the support of every loyal elector in the riding. Every Conserv- ative should be true to his principles and on the 23rd of June go to the polls and mark his ballot for Hutchins, the 9ld Flag, the Old Policy and the New Leader. THE DUTY OF THE HOUR. Before another issue of the ADVO- CATE, the electorate of Canada will have determined by their votes who shall conduct the affairs of this fair Dominion of ours for the ensuing term' Let us here state that the duty of every loyal man and woman throughout the length and breadth of this fair land, is to do all that lies in his or her power to defeat at the polls on the 23rd of June, the bandof Canadian traitors. Let there be no overconfidence. Let there 3e no under -estimating the strength a the enemy. That the Conservative ?Arty will win in the contest, seems as certain as that the sun will continue to to rise in the east. But that is not enough, we must not only win, but win 'ay an unmistakable and overwhelm- ing majority, such as will bury the free Trade Monster so deep that it will 'nnyer be seen or heard of again. Every voter owes it to himself and to his loyal fellow citizen; but he should use every honest and honorable means an his power to support the nominees of the Conservative party and return them with mighty majorities that trea- son will be forced to hide its diminish- ed head, and never again pollute the free Canadian air with its poison - ens breath, It is not so much a ques tion of winning—that, thank God, we helive is settled—but it is a question of making the victory of such magni- tude as to silence for ever the cry of Free Trade and show the people of other countries that the overwhelm- ing majority of Canadians are true to themselves, true to their traditions, sae to their nationality, and indig- nantly spurn the evils to which our country would be subjected were the calamity howlers and office seekers in power. The Toronto News Independent says: e" The most significant feature of the campaign at present is the confidence erf the Conservative workers and lead- ers as to the outcome of the fight_ The Globe keeps up the cry of vtctory on 'behalf of the Liberals, probably for the eterpose of encouraging the hosts who are encamped against the walls of Na- tional Policy, but the steady careful work of the members of the Govern- ment and the local leaders of the Con- servatives throughout the constituenc- d s has not been without effect. Never did a more confident feeling prevail in The ranks of the party on the eve of the voting than exists to -day.

MONTA- GUE AND SIR JOHN CARLING. Probably the largest crowd ever before in Exeter. The greeting of Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues, Dr. Montague and Sir John Curling, on Friday last was a magnificent success and characterised with unbounded enthusiasm. Never before in the history of the town was there a larger crowd witnessed on our streets and when it is considered that the announcement of their coming was so very short the success that followed was most phenominal, Long before the arrival of the distinguished speak- ers the whole neighborhood of the sta- tion was densely crowded, and when the train pulled in and the Premier made his appearance an outburst of cheers followed, hats went up in the air, handkerchiefs wayed in all direc- tions and in4other] ways the immense crowd manifested their great delight. For some time Sir Charles was kept bowing in response to the plaudit of the populace. The procession from the train to the Driving Park was made up of a large number of carriages, two bands, thousands of people on foot, with some twenty militia men under the di- rection of Capt. Howard and Thos. Prior. Sir Charles rode in a carriage, accom panted by Dr. Montague, Sir John Car- ting, Mr. W. II. Hutchins, the Liberal Conservative candidate; Dr, Rollins, and L H. Dickson, followed by the Re- ception Committee:—Messrs. E. Spack- man, D. Mills, L Hardy, T. H. McCal- lum, B. S. O'Neil, Miller White, editor of the Times; C. H. Sanders, editor of Advocate; and T. Coughlin, Members of the Town Council were also iu line, including Reeve Bawden, Deputy Reeve T. B. Carling; Councillors, John Taylor, Chas. Snell, W. Treble; S. San- ders, Treasurer; and M. Eacrett Clerk. Mr. Wm. Pridham, Liberal Conserve tive candidate for South Perth, and Mr. John Fox. of Lucan, president of the North Middlesex Conservative Associa- tion, occupied a foremost place in the procession. Sir Charles' carriage was escorted by a body guard, consisting of Dr. Hyndman and Messrs Isaac Carling, L, Bishop, and Herbert Elliott. The speaking began at the band stand in the Driving Park, shortly af- ter 10 o'clock, and was finished at about 12.30. Dr. Rollins presided, and little Dolly Dickson and Irene O'Neil with bouquets paid their respects to the Premier, who, after kissing them opened the meeting with a short speech.y e,He was received with great applau e�. The incessant and enormous demands on his toil a pow- ers, the Premier said, prevent him go- ing into anything like a long explana- tion of his program. So he was brief. The ovation tendered him was indica• tive of the pro -Conservative temper of the audience. Mr. Hutchins, the can- didate, who spoke next, ventured the information that Mr. Laurier's demon- stration at Ailsa Craig was not to be compared to the ovation now tendered to Sir Charles Tupper. Following Mr. Pridham, the Conserv- ative candidate in South Perth, Sir John Carling made a long and able speech dealing with the trade question fully, and also touching upon the general party issues. Sir John is well known in the Middlesexs, and he has been for almost forty years connected with mat- ters political thereabouts. His remarks carried weight, if the demeanor of the crowd indicate anything. To an interrupter, who declared that Canada was as prosperous in 1873-78 as at present, Sir John read the cele brated statement of the late Thomas Workman, of Montreal, delivered in the House of Commons. He contrasted the Liberal and Conservative trade pol- icies, and while he admired Mr. Laurier personally he would say that he was not the man to be put at the head of the affairs of a country. On the con- trary, said Sir John, the Premier, Sir Charles Tupper, was a man of determ- ination, who "would face a lion," and if he conceived his policy to be right, would carry it or die. (Cheers.) The Senator from London also enter- ed upon a general defence of the Gov- ernment in connection with the scand- als alleged against it. He, too, defend ed Sir Charles personally from the al legations that have been charged against the Premier. After the elec- tions of 1874 and 1891, Sir John point- ed out, a large number of Liberals had been unseated for corrupt acts, some of them disqualified. Charges of corrup- tion came from these, people with bad grace. Had not Hon. Alex. Macken- zie written a letter while Premier that revealed a position of affairs in conse- quence of which the Liberal Premier was obliged to keep the closest watch on the Government's strong box. Hon. Dr. Montague, who followed, dealt with the school case. He handled it well, too, from the Government stand- point. In an appeal to the attentive audience the Doctor asked that they ap- pioach the matter in a spirit of corn promise, toleration, determined to give 100D OOYERN I and take, This spirit had been neves- sate, to lay the foundation stone of Con- federation and was just as essential now. The case in point was not aques- tion of separate schools, but of carrying out the constitution. It was not a ques-tion of p }�ppt� 11(tglt�g} slap �1 �{ man Catholics wd hich they were es for tnothe en• e- Phe L�UUIU�'ColitlOI FULl1UO U�1 titled to and against which treatment in Ontario Mr. Meredith had carried on his campaign to overthrow the Mowat Government. The Goyernment at Ot- tawa was called upon to sacredly keep an agreement. - Dr. Montague cited his proofs that theintention was to guarantee separ• ate schools to Manitoba at the time of union. In 1875, said: the Minister of Agriculture, the Proyince of Manitoba had asked financial assistance from the Dominion Government, which was granted on condition that the Provin- cial Legislative Council be abolished There was an objection on account of the guarantee of separate schools on the part of some of the Legislative Councillors, who, however, were assur- ed by the Protestant members of the Lower House that the guarantee re separate schools would be kept iu-vio late That was.the understanding, but it remained for Mr. Greenway, the Liber- al Premier, to abolish these separate schools. The whole question was one to keep the Liberals in power, in Mani- toba, and now was being fomented to Mr. Laurier's advantage. With regard to the Remedial Bill, Dr. Montague asserted that not one dollar of public money would be granted for the support of separate schools, The measure amounted to this: That the Roman Catholics of Manitoba might be relieved from paying taxes towards the support of the ordinary schools. This payment was to be diverted to the edu- cation of their children in separate schools, provided the institutions were as good as the other schools. If they were not then they would be closed, in any event, not a single dollar from Manitoba or any other province was provided for in the remedial bill, What was intended was to give the Roman Catholic people of Manitoba the right of paying taxes to have their children educated as they thought best. Furth er, there was no question of putting back the "old, rotten" schools, The schools must be up to the standard and Che Government of Manitoba would have control of the schools, would close them up if they were not up to the. standard. Was it true? asked Dr. Mont- ague, that the remedial bill was, as al- leged by G. W. Ross, the harsh utter ance he represented it to be? The strongest clause in that document was word for word as the order came from the Privy Council with the substitution of "Lieutenant Governor" for "Gover- nor General of Canada. Citing the New Brunswick school matter, the Minister of Agriculture showed how the Federal Parliament had no reason for interfering because the Roman Catholics .of that province never had the separator schools' rights' to have them taken away. ,Parliament however, voted on a petition to memor- ialize the Queen to ask the New Bruns wick Legislature to give the case its best consideration, with a view of re- moving the grievances under which the Catholics labored, and one member who had voted for that was Hon, Thomas Greenway, the Premier of Manitoba. Dr. Montague drew attention to the analogous cases of the Quebec Protest- ants and the Manitoba Roman Catholics. He closed with an eloquent appeal to the electors of Ontario,the leading i n g province in matters of industrial and agricultural progress, to lead the way also in broadness of views. SURE TO WIN.

Mlrrnits, Asses- sor. to Carry the Electioi. 1 The Liberals in Even Worse Shape Than at the Opening of the Cam- paign—Laurier to Retire. The progress of the campaign has shown the country that the Liberals are the same ole party of vilifiers, of chop- pers and changers, and of polieyless pol- iticians. Their forte is abuse. Their lead- ers assail the personal character of their opponents, their followers spppd their evenings in trying to break up Conslirva- live meetings. Nothing could go further towards influencing unbiassed electors to vote for the Administration' than the manner in which the Opposition hood- lums in Ottawa, in Kingston ,and In other places have deollned to give decent treatment tg the Mintetere Vas addresagd them. In King"ston the audienou, being enraged at the action of the l:eoro of Grit partisans who wore making the air vocal with eat-ealle, rose and expelled the in- terrupters. The unfortunates who wS$ ejected were in bard .husk. They had been paid their dollar apiece to Tote a disturbance, but they had not eZ,eoted any such condign punishment. Campaign Lies, as Usual. There has been no diminution in the stock of Grit campaign lies, but, with- out the assistance of some of the mere prominent Notion mongers, like Erastus Wiman, there is little originality in them, and they fall to the ground. The truth is, that the Grits have their hands full iu defending, or trying to defend, themselves from the true charges that are made against them. It has been proved beyond peradventure that the sweet -scented Edward Ferrer, the writer of the annexationist pamphlets, and the close friend of Annexationist Wimauu has negotiated an alliance between the Grits, the Patrons and the MoOartii rtes. Now, Ferrer was paid one hhudrea dol- lars for putting the "deal" through, and when it became known that the eilianoe against the Government had been con- summated, a Toronto reporter asked D'Altun McCarthy for the details of the scheme. Mr. McCarthy had no oompuno- tion in giving them, "We have," said he, "decided that we shall not make any fight against each other. Mr. Laurier knows that in two or three constituen- cies in Ontario I cannot get my men out of the way, for they won't go. Still, Laurier and I are not going to cut each other's throat. He understands that," So much for McCarthy. What did Laurier say? He is on record as having said to a reporter of La Petrie"I know of no alliance between the Liberals, Mr. McCarthy and the Patrons. I unhesitatingly tell you that there is no such alliance." Alexander Smith, the Liberal organ- izer in Ontario, who was interviewed on the same day, said, "I know there is an agreement." Who is lying? Smith, Laurier, or Mc- Carthy? The "Loyal" Grits. - A man is known by the company he keeps. Laurier for years has been the trusted friend of Farrar and other trait- ors. Sir Richard Cartwright has been dined at Boston, and has smiled with joy when be was referred to as "the Sen- ator from Ontario." And yet the Grits have the audacity to olaim to be Ioyal. Down in the French Canadian constitu- ency of Vercheres the other day E. Car - liner De Martigny of the Banque du Peuple, who was stumping for the Grit candidate Geeffrion, brought up the dead and gone Riel question, and trotted out the race and revenge plank. He said he had left the Conservatives when the Government brought a patriot to the scaffold, and that Sir Charles Tupper's allusion to Hon. Mr. Laurier's attitude on the Riel issue was an insult to every French-Canadian in the province of Que- bec. He condemned the purchase of arms, and said that the English-speak- ing people of Canada might be interested in the volunteer movement, but the French were not. A nice loyalist this! How his flesh would have quivered had Sir Charles Tupper been there to scarify him! But a loyal French-Canadian, a Conservative, of course, was there to take this leader's place. it was Hon. L. O. Taillon, the Postmaster -General, who replied. He said that such language was disgraceful and unpatriotic. "Do you mean to tell mo," he said, "that if an American in- vasion of Canada were to take place, as the result of trouble with the Dominion or Great Britain, our people would fold their arms and allow our homes and our country to be devastsited by the foe? No, a hundred times no. Our people would respond to the country's call, as they have done before." Truly, it has been said: "All Grits are not Annexationists, but all Annexa- tionists are Grits." The Leader's Triumphal Tour. The sturdy old war horse who is at the head of the Administration has all the vim and energy of a man in his fourth decade. Everywhere he has ap- peared ho has been welcomed, by tre- mendous crowds. His campaign in the Maritime provinces, and latterly in On- tario, has been productive of much good. The overwhelmingly Conservative sen- timent of the country has solidified, and Laurier's chances, of success are abso- lutely nil. So disgusted with his col- leagues is Sir Richard. Cartwright that he has made not a single speech outside his own constituency. Blue. Ruin Cart- wright knows right well that he has his. work cut out for him in his own riding. He knows, too, that the Liberal cause is. irretrievably lost. Therefore he hustles for himself and lets his hapless party - mates look after themselves. Laurier Knows It. None knows better, than Laurier that lie has no chanceof success. Hehas told his private friends sin Montreal that after the election—and his party's defeat —he will retire, and that the Liberal party, or what there is left of it, will split up into various groups. There is no unity amongst the hungry Opposition- ists except in their desire, for office. Victory Certain. Victory is certain for the Liberal Con- servative :,Government. On the night of. June 25 the country will resound with acclamations' and shouts of joy. And, on the day of June 28, let every patriot do his duty and vote for the Old Flag and the Old Policy. BINDER + TWINE!
