of the Government having any cognizance
of this kind of work being done, although

a man of Hon, Mr. Hardy's standing and
leads people to believe the old addage

we hope it will have a wholesome effect
on the electorate.
IT is really too bad that the Herald
Editor was not pleased with the speech
making at Dr. Macdonald's meeting in
town. It was, perhaps, an oversight that
he was not interviewed previously and
asked for an outline program or his con.
sent to hold the meeting and discuss the
public questions, It it too late now, how
ever, to nada the neglect. The audience
was too small; in the first place ; then
there wasn't enthusiaeim enough by
either speakers or auditors ; he didn't
like Mr. Blair's speech because it was
mild enough to suit both or either politi.
cal parties ; Mr. Hi31op was of "rather a
mild type" ; W. H. Kerr was too enlogis•
tio of Premier Laurier in the statement
that he filled the bill as a statesman, viz.,
"that he was a politician who had broad
and sagacious views and distinguished
ability in dealing with the questions
arising in public affairs." It will be a
long time before the compiler of a
dictionary can use the same words con-
cerning the leader of the Opposition, if
the Toronto Mail's opinion is worth any-
thing. Dr. Macdonald's address was dis.
conuted by either giving the oredit of the
work done to the former Government, or
the telliug of half truths. We are pleased
to notice that the quartette suited him so
that the meeting was not altogether in
vain
Sia WILI•'nm LAURIER has his critics
p)sibive, comparative and superlative, and
a public man who does his duty will never
be without these but much of the so °all.
ed criticism is mere pique or bigotry and
does not to any broad extent mar the
good opinion of the public when ,the ob.
ject of the critics is considered. The un•
biassed judgment of outsiders should
have some weight, however, and here is
what the Detroit Evening News has to
say of Premier Laurier :—The speech
that created the greatest enthusiasm at
the Chicago day banquet last evening was
not made by the President of the United
States. Neither was it made by the elo•
gent toastmaster, the Mayor of the oily,
the Governor of the state, nor the senior
Senator from Illinois. It came from the
lips of the Premier of Canada, and one
might say of it that few men who have
said so little ever said it more gracefully.
It is hardly fair to apply the ordinary
tests of oratory to an after dinner speech
unless we apply the sole test of Demos•
thenas—delivery. Men who have dined
well de not care for great erudition or
profound argument. They are incliffer.
enc to logic, and on the whole prefer to
be flattered rather than "lectured at,"
The Premier of Canada, a Frenchman
fortuitously placed at the head of a great
English colony, combined business and
pleasure as adroitly as any man could be
expected to do it upon an occasion of the
kind, Obviously Canada has more to
gain through friendly relations with the
United States than the United States
have to gain through friendly relations
with Canada, and without snrrendering
any of his self•respeat or seeking to fawn
upon the greater power,Sir Wilfrid accept.
ed as his task the duty of furthering these
friendly relations so far as the thing
could be done in a half-hour speech.
How far he succeeded with his audience
is shown by the great applause with
which his speech was greeted. It is
an interesting feet that the man
who described so eloquently the ties that
unite the United States and England,
who glorified the common race, the nom.
mon language, the common literature
and the oommon institutions, is a British
subject only by the ao°ident of birth.
There is not a drop of the muoh•vannted
"Anglo•Sason" blood in bis veins. Even
the oommon language, whiob he glori•
Iles and which he speaks se eloquently, is
a foreign tongue to him. The bonde
that unite both him and big own people
to England are not those of language,
°peach, customs or religion. Even the
ties that bind the oolony to the mother
o0nntry are so loose that there is no
provocation for severing them, But for
all that, nobody can object to his trading,
in the interests of a new nation that bag
grown up to the North of tie, upon the
friendship that has brought England and
the United States closer together than
they over were before, The hands may
be the hands of Croat Britain, lett the
voice is the votes of Canada ; anti if Sir
Wilfrid Zeit/tier does 1101 6e00re to hie

A ROUSING GATHERING,
GOOD SPEECHES,
This is a growing 11010 for Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's meetings as well its for Canada's
trade. As the Premier progresses on his
tour the enthusiasm at each successive
meeting and the numbere in attendance
exceed those of the previews gathering.
Bowmanville opened the tour with a
splendid gathering. It was eclipsed by
Paisley with its great open ate meeting.
New comes Wiughsm with an audience
which meet have approached nearly 5,000
persons. The gathering was hold is the

contrivance was adopted in order to give

modation. Many scores of persons were
left outside. and several of these repaired
to the Town Hall under the impression
that an overflow meeting would be held.
In this, however, they were disappointed.
Looping down from the platform at the )
sea of faces which confronted them and
listening to the ringing cheers which
answered their paints, the speakers must
have been altogether devoid of feeling if
they had not been deeply stirred, The 1
hags meeting was d grett tribute to the 1
personal popularity of Bir Wilfrid, and to
the successful administration of (the af• 1
fairs of the country by his Government.
Tliis was Sir Wilfrid'sfirst visit to Wing•
ham, and be has good rename to feel sobs
Pied with the reception accorded him.

The meeting was preceded by a pre.
cession through the gaily decorated and
motto adorned streets of W,ngham. Ib
started from the house of Dr. Macdonald,
where Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hen. Mr,
Fielding were guests, and ended at the
meeting hall. In the long triumphal line
were over nue hundred mounted horse-
men in tricoloredsashes, and somas of
buggies. Each horse's head was sdorneu
with a miniature Union Jack, and the
horsemen and occupants of carriages
carried similar tokens of welcome, The
mottoes over hanging the streets were as
follows :—"Welcome to Our Premier,"
"The Growing Time," "Cheap Transpor•
talion" and •'Imperial Penny Postage."
AT THE SEATING ,,INE.
The chair was ocoupied by Geo, Me•
Kenzie, and on the platform besides the
distinguished visitors were : Messrs.
Robert Holmes, M. P. ; John McMillan,
31' P. ; James McMullen, ll. P. ; Thomas

Messrs. Hall, Belgrave ; Holmes, Brus•
eels ; Penhall, Blyth, and McRae,

the singing of the National Anthem,
in which the audience joined, producing a
grand volume of sound. William Clegg,
Mayor of Wingham, who is a Conserve,
Live, then read an address of welcome to
Sir Wilfrid Laurier from the municipal
Couuoil of the town. The address con-
gratulated the Premier on the prosperity
of the town and of the couutry al large.
It was signed by the Mayor and by the
Town Clerk, J. B. Ferguson.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S REPLY,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier in reply expressed
the thanks of Mr. Fielding and hiln0e f
at the presentation of such an address.
They were there to present a certain side
of the politics] questions winch at this
moment divided the people of Canada,
Ld it was 50 unexpected pleasure to him
a on au occasion of this kiud the
municipal authorities should sink politi•
mal proclivities and remember that they
were all Canadians. (Cheers.) "Per-
haps," said Sir Wilfrid "if we were to
discuss certain gestations, you and I, Mr.
Mayor, would not agree upon everything,
but if we oannot agree upon everthing, we
can at levet agree to disagree. (Cheers.)
I can respect your convictions jest as you
have given evidence that you can re•
enact mine, and, however strong our eon-
vlotions, at all events we can agree in
this, that we are working for the advance-
ment of the prosperity and happiness of
the people," (Cheers )
James McMullen, M. P., was given a
cordial reception. He said every man in
the country would admit that there was a
great improvement in the condition of
things today compered with that which
prevailed three years ago. A new era
had dawned for Canada ; industries were
thriving, and the people generally were
happy and prosperous, Mr. Foster had
invited the people to read the history of
the Conservative party and its leaders,
and they would then oome to a favorable
decisioo in regard to them. Mr. M°Mul.
len aocapbes the invitation and reviewed
the scandals which, he said, had ocourred
under the Conservative Administration,
He began with the McGreevyConnolly
scandal, which had resulted in forcing
Sir Hector Langevin out of the Oabinet
and out of the House, so that lie was now
wandering about like a stray gander upon
a common. (Laughter.) Next Mr.
McMullen dilated upon Sir Charles
Tupper's connection with a railway from
Oxford to New Glasgow, N. S., and the
Onderdonk Railway, which had involved
the country in large and extravagant
expenditure. Finally, the member for
North Wellington criticized in seething
terms the diversion of railway subsidies
into campaign funds in Quebec, with
which Sir Adolphe Caron's name was
aesociated. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the
other hand, had been identified with
politics for 2.5 years and no stigma or sus.
pinion of disgrace attached to his name.
He was not suspected of being hand in
glove with contractors, drawing money
either for the purpose of benefitting him.
self or carrying constituencies, (Cheers.)
"There be sits," exclaimed the speaker,
"a man Whom we delight to honor, and
in whom our trust is wall placed, and we
believe will do big best to advance the
future of the country." (Cheers.)

He was grateful to the people Inc sending

ing Liberal principles held that, no
matter what the country's position was
at present, it could always be improved.
Although the Government haddouemu°h
they did not pretend to have done the
last thing, wad should do a good deal
more yet, (Cheers.) The Conservatives
had always been opposed to reform ;they
had fought respon-ible government, the
adoption of municipal system, the clergy
reserves bill, representation by population
and other measures. They were oppos-
ing today measures that were in the
interests of the country. A duty to
which the Government was committed
was the consolidation of all races and
creeds. They wanted to create a bond of
affection between the people so that all
should be proud to call themselves Can-
adians. (Cheers.) Proceeding to explain
what the Government had done in regard
to the tariff, the Premier said they bad
aimed at meeting the views of consumers
and producers, The result was endorsed
by the whole people, and the reformed
tariff had done more for the country in
three years than any other policy that
was ever enforced. Even Sir Charles
Tupper was obliged to admit that the
country was prosperous, lint he attriba-
ed it to the Meeting of the Conservative
clothes by the Liberals, That idea Sir
Wilfrid repudiated.
OMAROE OF E0''RAVAOAOCE.
The charge was made that the Govern.
ment was extravagant, The Conserve.
Lives had become very economical eine°

press estimated the Government's ex•
penditure at $00,000,000, but Mr. Foster
fixed it at 550,000,000. Mr. Fielding
would knock off a few thousand more in
his speech that afternoon. Be that as it
may, however, the Conservatives, out of
the total vote asked for, attacked only
three items, amounting to about 530,000.
(Laughter and aura) It was said that
the Government had bean corrupt and
extravagant, but the Premier asked if his
hearers had heard of any Quebec graving
dook or any Curran bridge or any Tay
Canal scandals during the Last three
years 7 The charge of corruption had
been abandoned in connection with the
Drummond Comity Railway extension,
and the charge of fraud had not been
sustained in connection with the West
Huron election. The Government be-
lieved in pure ballots, and by that they
would stand to the end. Sir Charles
Tupper, Mr. Foster and the whole of
thein would like nothing better than to
paint the Liberate as black as they had
been painted, and say, "See, they are as
bud as us." (Cheers and laughter.) The
Government, however, would conduct al•
fairs according to the clean, honest
methods of Alex. Mackenzie, (Renewed
cheers,)

BOIL W. S. Fielding spoke at length,
ho and dealt with every pima of the lisoel
question, heating Conservative crlbioisms
its i in regard to the pnblle expenditure, the
d
es su, le(atte lttitntltarilT reform, lie to Sie °Merles Tupper's
ler tenet that he had bean en anti•Confeder•
n• ' ate, pointing out that the Conservative
ho
ul leader hod not scrupled to melee Gavot•

re anti (',nitederates. The speaker lead
to been au anti -Confederate of the Liberal
ur stripe, and if his present hearers had
nl been in Nova Scotia they would have
held the same views es he did, Mr.
Fielding begged to toll Sir Charles Top•
per that the latter was entitled to very
little credit for bringing about Confeder•
ation, for, so far as the Province of Nova
Scotia was concerned, Sir Charles was the
biggest enemy that Confederation over
had. A man of the brunet statesmanship
and who understood the people would
have gone about Confederation in Nova
Scotia in another way. But Sir Charles
tried in Nova Scotia the same policy that
he tried hi Manitoba, and the result was
the same. Had he gone about it in the
s• way Sir Leonard Tilley did in New
Y Brunswick, and recognized that the pen
1t' pre had a right to determine the matt r
u for themselves, he would have achieved
d senses, and at the same time have caused
1- no discontent in the publia mind. When
fr ' the history of Confederation came to be
written, Sir Charles would be recognized
Y as the enemy, not the friend, of the
e movement. (Cheers ) In his remarks
e upon the public debt, Mr. Fisldirg point•
ed oat that from 1878 to 1,801 the total
increase of the debt by the Conservatives
was $118,135,000 or an average of $G,-
500,0(10 per annum. During the three
of Liberal rule, from 1800 to 1800, the
total increase of debt, notwithstanding
the great works which had been carried
out, was 57,775,000, or only about 52,501,-
000 per annum. As for the expenditure,
it teas last year 57 41 per head lower than
at any year during the lest ten years, ex.
ceps in 11108, when it was exceptional in
character. (Cheers )
Sir Wilfrid dealt at length with the
prohibition question. He was inducted to
do so by the receipt of a commnuication
from several local temperance men, and
also in consequence of a representation
made to him that morning by a deputa-
tion from the Women's Christian Tem-
perance Union, His remarks were sub.
stantially the same as those delivered at
Bowmanville, or, in other words, that
looking at the total vote east in favor of
prohibition, which was less than 23 per
cent„ the Government did not feel jnsli.
lied in introducing a national prohibitory
law. Those who had made represents -
tions bo him, Sir Wilfrid said, bad nob
indicated what kind of legislation they
wanted, When they dict so the Govern.
went svonld take it into consideration,
and do what was best in the interests of
their common country. Neither in this
nor in other matters, however, could any
man expect to carry out to the fullest ex-
tent his conception of what he believed
to be his rights, The Premier olosed
with an eloquent peroration, in whicll he
appealed to the mon of Huron to stand
by the Government and to act in such a
manner as to pause their children to feel
voila that their fathom wore Canadians,
.10150 11'0051,Ax,
John McMillan, the popular member
fee Smith Huron, kept the aciie ee in-
terested for half an hour while the dis-
cussed po•itical questions from the fare
niers' abandpoine. IIe showed that the
preferential tariff had greatly benefited
the farmers, and pointed out that the re•
moval of the quarantine regulations upon
cattle going to the United States had re.
salted in an increase of from 55 to 510
per head in the price of such live stools.
In the manner in which they had handled
the tariff the Government had fulfilled
every pledge they made. There had been
no promise made to wipe out every
vestige of protection, but were the Gov
cement to continue as they had begun
there would not be a vestige of protection
left at the and of ten years. In consider-
ing the tariff changes, the faot must not
be overlooked that the Government had
eliminated that most abominable feature,
specific deities, (Loud oheers.) The
favorable impression created by Sir Wit.
frid Laurier in Loudon, and the preferen-
tial tariff, had contributed in a great de-
gree to the prosperity which now prevail-
ed in Canada.
The meeting concluded with cheers for
the Queen, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr.
Fielding and Dr. Macdonald.
