Adopted by, ab0 National Liberal Conceit -
sten, Ottawa, June, 1893.
We, the Liberal party of Canada, in
convention aesembled, declare :
1.—FREE TRADE—000000D TAXATION.
lit.—PURITY OF ADMINISTRATION — COEDS IN
CORRUPTION.
That the Convention deplores the groom
corruption in the management and ex-
penditure of public .moneys whiob for
years past has exiated under the rule of
the Coneervativ'e party, and the revel.
atlone of which by the different parka.
mentary committees of inquiry have
brought disgrace upon the fair name of
Canada. The Government, wbich pro-
fited politioally by these expenditures of
public moneys of which the people have
been defrauded, and which, nevertheless,
have never punished the guilty parties,
must be held responsible for the wrong.
doing. We arraign the Government for
retaining in office a Minister of the Grown
proved to have aooepted very large con-
tributions of money for election purpoeee
from the funds of a railway company,
which, while paying the politioal contra
botions to him, a member of the Govern-
ment, with one hand, was receiving Gov-
ernment eubsidee with the other. The
conduct of the Minister and the approval
of hie colleagues after the proof became
known to them are calculated to degrade
Canada in the estimation of the world
and deserve the severe condemnation of
the people.

4.—uaDIAND STRICTEST ECONOMY—DEGREASED
EXPENDITURE.
We cannot but view with alermthe
large increase of the public debt and of
the controllable annual expenditure of
the Dominion and the consequent nndus
taxation of the people under the Govern -
menta that have been continuously in
power sinus 1878, and we demand the
strictest eoonomy in the administration
Of the government of the country.
5.—FOE RESPONSIBLE 00VERNMENT—IIfDE-
PENDENOE OF PARLIAMENT.
That the Convention regrets that by
the action of Ministers and their support.
ere in Parliament, in one ease in whiob
serious charges of misconduct in' office
against Ministers of the Crown, investi•
gation was altogether refused, while in
another .,case the chargee preferred were
altered and then referred to a commission
appointed upon the advice of the Ministry,
contrary to the well settled practise of
Parliamentary affairs; and this Conven-
tion affirms :—That it is the'anaient and
undoubted right of the House of Commons
to inquire into all matters of public ex.
penditnre, and into all eharges of mis-
conduct in office against Ministers of the
Crown, and the reference of snob matters
to royal commissions oreated upon the
advice of the accused is at varianoe with
the due responaibillty of Ministers to the
House of Commons, and Made to weaken
the authority of the House over the
Executive Government, and this Oonven.
tion affirms that the powers of the people's
representatives in this regard should on
all fitting occasions be upheld.
6.—TIIH LAND FOB TIIE SETTLER—NOT FOR
TRE MP000050OR.
That in the opinion of this Convention
the Bales of public lands of the Dominion
abonld be to notual settlers only, and
not'to epeoul'atore, upon reads noble term',
of settlement, and in such as can be
reasonably oocupiad and cultivated by the
settler.
7.—OPPOSE THE DOMINION FRANCIIISE ACT --
FAVOR TEE PROVINCIAL FEANO0ISE.
That the Franchise Ant siuoe its intro-
daotion hoe Dost the Dominion Treasury
over a million donors, besides entailing
a heavy expenditure to both political
parties ; that each revision involves an
additional expenditure of a further quarter
of a million ; that this expenditure has
prevented an annual revision, as origin-
ally intended, in the absence of which
young voters entitled to the franobise
have, In numerous instances, been pre-
vented from exercising their natural
riebte ; that it has failed to secure mil.
formity, , which was the principal reason
assigned for its introduction ; that it bae
produced gross abuses by partizan revis-
ing barristers appointed by the Govern-
ment of the day ; that its provisions are
lees liberal than those already existing in
many Provinces of the Dominion, end
that in the opinion of this Convention
the Aot should be repealed, and weahould
revert to the Provincial Franchise.
That the customs tariff of the Domin.
len should be based, not as it is now,
upon the protective principle, but upon,
the requirements of the publio service ;
That the existing tariff, founded upon an
unsound principle, and used, as it has
been by the Government, as a oorrnpting
agenoy wherewith to keep themselves in
office, has developed monopolise, trusts
and combinations ; it has decreased the
value of farm and other landed property ;
it has opposed the masses to the enrich.
molt of a few ; it has cheoked immigra-
tion ; it bee caused great loss of popula-
tion ; it bas impeded commerce ; it has
discriminated against Great Britain. In
these and in many other ways it has oc-
casioned great public and private injury,
all of which evile must continue to grow
in intensity as long as the present tariff
system rematne in force. That the high•
est interests of Canada demand a removal
of this obstacle to our country's progress,
by the adoption of a sound fiscal policy,
which, while not doing injustice to any
class, will promote domestic and foreign
trade, and hasten the return of prosperity
to our people ; that to the end, the tariff
should be reduced to the needs of honest,
economical and effioient government
that it should be so adjusted as to make
free, or to bear LS lightly as possible
upon, 'the necessaries of life, and should
be so arranged as to promote freer trade
with the whole world, more particularly
with Great Britain and the United
States. We believe that the results of
the protective ayetem have grievously
disappointed thousands of persona who
honestly supported it, and that the coun-
try, inthe light of experience, is slow pre•
weltered to declare for a sound fiscal
policy, The issue between the two poli-
tical parties on this question isnow clear-
ly defined. The Government tbemeelvee'
admit the failure of their fiscal polioy,
and now profess their willingness to make
some changes; but they say that suoh
changes must be baeod.oniy on the prin-
ciple of protection. We denounce the
, principle of protection as radically un-
sound, and unjust to the tnaseee of the
people, and we declare our oonviotien
that any tariff changes based on that
. principle must fail to afford any substan-
tial relief from the burdens under which
the oountry labors. This issue we un-
hesitatingly aooept, and upon it we await
with the fullest confidence the verdiob of
the electors of Canada.
2.—ENLAu0E0 menti es—RE0I01000Pr0.

At Jueob's opera house. Syracuse, N.

ence the would-be champion of the world,
Robert Fitzsimmons, Oon, Riordan, Fitz-
stmmone's sparring partner, was struck
by Fitzsimmons, and the result of the
blow was death. Rtordan,it de claimed,
had been drinking heavily.He gave
evidence of the condition as he walked
on to the stage, but despite this he was
allowed to eater the bout. There were a
few exchanges, and then Fitzsimmons,
with a qutotl pass, landed on Riorden's
jaw with his right. There are differences
of opinion as to the force of the blow, but
it was eutlialent. Riordan reeled and
fell to his knees ; then he toppled over
like a dead man. The audience was
worked up to furore of excitement; boye
and men stood up in their seats and
shouted. Back in the wing the unoon
eoious man lay in his ring costume, with
two physicians vainly endeavoring to
bring him back to oonsoionsness. Rior-
dan remained nnooneeions despite every
effort to revive him. The probable fatal
results were announced after midnight
by Dr. Tetouan, and Fitzsimmons was
promptly placed under arrest, The in-
jured man breathed hie last at 8;80 o'•

8.—AGAINST THE GERRYMANDER -- COUNTY
000NDA0IES SHOULD= TRESEEVED.
That by 'the Gerrymander Ants, the
electoral divisions for the return of mein•
bars to the House of Commons have been
so made as to prevent a fair expression of
the opinion of the country at the general
elections, and to seems to the party now
in power a strength out of all proportion
greater than the number of electors sup-
porting them would warrant. To put an
end to this abuse, to snake the House of
Commons a fair exponent of public;
opinion, and to preserve the bistonlo con-
tinuity of counties, it is clesiroble that in
the formation of electoral divisions,
county boundaries should be preserved,
and that in no ease parts of different
eannti05 should be put in one electoral
division.

ants, so very small their step and so crooked their
way ; excitable little creatures that with all their
flurry never seem to get anywhere in particular,
and whose *whole interest seems to be that of turn-
ing aside from obstacles. Others again, iu the
great length of their stride, remind one of the
mighty jump of the kangaroo. 'llhey are evidently
getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to
the observer that these must be the tracks of those
