DISCUSSES THE' REDISTRIEUr

Pr•,To:m i1TAeno+,:tr,o (Beat 13urnni,-•I rias to

feelings of regret and ploasure—of regret

rived end WO are now in a positlen to re-

iniquitous Acts ever passed by the Perlin -

country did beoome 71100e proaper0u0 in
1880 and 1881. But on the eve of the elec.
Cons, which were to take place in 1883, that
very party whieh Waited so ninth of the
National Polley, was afraid to meet the oleo -
tors of this country on the 'merits and vir-
tues of that policy, They met to 8nfanln
conclave, with their leader at their head—
the able loader that they had at that time—
and they dev180d a Redistribution or Gerry -

Conservative party to legislate into the
Ranee supporters of the Government of
that day. Wo were told yesterday thnt the
Minister of Customs had two men assisting
him to get up the Bill now before the
lienee, There was no need of assistance
because the principles underlying tide Bill
are quite plain. We are jest doing what we
said we would do when power came foto
our hands. We opposed the principle of
h, enkillg nn the counties in 1887. Wo oppos-
ed it in 1877. and Sir Sohn Dlaodonald and
the whole °auscultative party agreed with
the Liberal party in that year, that the
bloaking up of the county boundaries was
contrary to sound principle in reference to
that matter. Sir John Macdonald, in a
speech he made on the introduction of the
Redistribution Bili of 1872, pointed this out

arguments in favour of the position he took
011 that 00eae1011, Bvery Cooservativo who
supported Sir John Macdonald at that time,
and who expressed himself, declared in
favour of hie leader's views upon this sub-
ject. And Hon. Edward Blake, speaking for
the Liberal party at that time, expressed
his oououlreooe with the views put forth by
81r John Macdonald in reference to this
point, Both parties agreed that even oou-
0tderations of population were a secondary
matter, cad that, as far as possible, comityboundaries should. be maintained, Now, in
1881, when the Conservative party had Slade
uv it0 mind to gerrymander the onnstituen-
Cie%, the principles advocated in 1878 were
egregiously violater). The leader of the
party was the same man as 11, 1870, and
many of the mime men were behind him.
And there had been no change in the prin-
ciple. If it was a good principle in 1873, it
was not less a goon principle in 1881. Now,
in 1880 the Liberals fought that gerrymat-
der with all the ability and all the energy
characteristic of them in every war for
goad laws, They declare,t that if they ever
Pet the onnortutity, if the people of this
country roturued them to power, they
would make it a point to repeal that law
and to nude that wrong, as far as lay in
their power. In every election since 1881

Is that correct reasoning ? Won1d a sub-

There were 193 v0tee taken away fret
South Porth to assist Mr. Oliver to carr
that constituency at the next goner
election. There were 3011 votes no
taken from North Perth and given t
Thomas. Oliver, which gave him 00

give them to Mr. McMullen in the fort
of the township of Wallace, The
Wallace was taken away from the Nort
of Pettit and added to North Wellington
and at thr next general election gave 11
against Mr. dfallnllen, the present mem
her for North Wellington. Now was i
the 110 votes that enabled Mr. McMulle
to carry the North riding? Was *it b
reason of the gerrymander, or in epics o
the gerrymander ? Everybody know
that in spite of the gerrymander Mr. Mo
Mullen parried North Wellington.
Now, in regard to population, did the
equalize nepulation ? Did any Conserve
five ever hear any argument in favor o
the gerrymander of 1882 other than i
would equalize population ? Nob a sing)
argument has ever been adduoe8, no
even the hon. member for West York ha
adduced any argument in favor of aha
gerrymander other than it was suppose
to equalize the population of the differen
electoral divisions. I challenge any ton
gentleman opposite to give a single argil
meet in favor of breakiug up the 60 dif

attaining that object. well, was th
object attained ? Let me give you a fel

DOMINION ALLIANCE.
The Council of the Dominion Alliance
held its anunal meeting in Richmond
Hall, Toronto, July 13th, and adopted
as the expression of opinion of the nation•
al orgeutzation the series of resolutions
on the plebiscite which were passed by
the Ontario branch of the Alliance at its
meeting on Tnesday, July 11011. Dr. J,
J. Maclaren presided over the meeting i0
the absence of President Vidal.
1)0311NI0X 0111.1N121270V,
J. R. Dougall offered his project for
the organization of the temperance work -
ere throughout the Dominion, and briefly
outlined his plan, suggested the appoint-
ment of a general organizer, who would
be a paid official of the Alliance, who
would be provided with sufficient means
to travel front one end of the country to
the other, and during a session of paella
ment to spend all his time in the lobbies
of the house. He thought that this
organizer also should have funds to visit
every comity d1ri
ng bye el
eotious and
assist in gaining victories for the temper -
once cause. When no eleotions or no
parliament required lois attention, the
organizer could organize the temperance
people all across the country, from the
Klondike to Cape Breton, He considered
this the speediest Ivey j1, which thorough
provincial organization could be secured.
Mr. Dongall's' recommendations were
forwarded to the business Committee,
The Committee reported that it "con-
sidered it desirable that the Alliance
should have a general Dominion organiz•
oe and parliamentary agent, and let this
be an instruction to the exeootive to
inquire into the possibility of employing
such an agent, and, if possible, make
arrangements to that end. "
T'nE PLE1/010 CANDIDATES,
The Committee on resolutions reported
as follows :
In view of the importance of having
elected ab the next Dominion Parliament
candidates pledged to vote for and support
Dominion prohibitory Iegislation, and
it is of great importance to organize the
constituencies for this purpose at a date
preceding the nomination of candidates
by the existing 'politioal parties ; bhere-
fore, we recommend that the exeotltfveof
each province take steps towards scouring
candidates pledged to represent the views
of the temperance people on the question
of legal prohibition of the liquor trafiio,"
The Alliance adopted the reports mud
also resolutions declaring in favor of the
enforcement of regulations regarding
canteens at volunteer Damps and the
extension of the suffrage to women,
