Gerrie.
The following report of the public
meeting held on Wednesday evening
of last weak, in Gerrie under the
patronage of the Conservative party,
is taken from the Gerrie Vidette :—
Henry Perkins was called to the chair.
The chairman announced that the
principal speaker, Mr. Cowan of Galt,
bad found it impossible to be present.
He then introduced T. Hayes to the
audience, which gentleman spoke a
considerable length of time on tho
benefits to be derived from the C. P.
R., of the Biel rebellion, he claimed
that the half breeds had no grievanc-
es. He said it would have been bet-
ter if the half-breeds had never been
allowed claims as they invariably die -
posed of them for next to nothing.
He expressed his belief that should
the Bleus hoist John A. that the
Conservatives would fiat two votes in
Ontario for every one they would lose
in Quebec. The speaker then dwelt
a short time on the local politica. I -Ie
discussed the law as to bribery, and
pointed out that it was almost im.
possible to unseat a :member by it,
Mee it must be proven that there
bas to be enough corruption to effect
the election.
T, farrow 11I. P. was then introduo•
ed, be spoke on the political situation.
Ho contrasted the N. P. with the one
sided legislation of the MoKenzie
government, proving conclusively
from the Blue Rooke that Sir John's
Government had during the years
1880 and 84, prohibited the importa
tion iuto Canada of American pro
ducts to the amount of $12,000,000
and compelling the Ateerieans to pay
into the Canadian treasury by chug
ing a high protective tariff, the long
sum of over $4,000,000 during those
four years. He spo'ko at length un
Pacific R. R. matters, showing that
daring five years that McKenzie was
in power he had done almost nothing
that the Conservative Government
from 1878 until 1885; lied completed
that vast undertaking et a Dost of
$34,000,000 loss than 11eHenzis's
had contemplated. lie also review-
ed the Northwest Bebellion, the ex-
ecution of Biel, and the Quebec agi•
talion, plainly ehuwing that the
]french have no cause for their re•
vongo agitation, that at the last see -
'ion the French by a unanimous vote
declared that the Meths had no griev.

.A. pansy was picked in the garden

Since that day the weather has not
been very favorable to pansy growing

A. very entbusiastio mooting of the
Reformers of the northern portion of
East and West Ridings of Huron was
held at Wingham last week. The
opening address was given by Tltos,
Gibson, M:P.P., who said that several
burning questions had arisen between
the Province of Ontario and the Do-
minion, Sir John in his earlier year's
of rule had adhered pretty well to the
spirit of the Ccnstitutiou, and up to
the accession of the Conservatives to
power in 1878, it had been respected.
Since that time the milker of inter-
fering with Provincial Rights had
been carried on, and he believed that
if the Ottawa Government had givers
ons -half the atteution to the North-
west which they Led given to harm -
sing and insultiu,c Air. Alotvat, there
would have been no rebellion. In
giving a history of the license 'Re-
plete, Mr. Gibson referred to au incl•
dent which took place on the third
reading of the AleCarthy Act. Mr.
Oaimet then moved that certain priv-
ileges which had been enjoyed by the
municipalities of Quebec should be
continued. The motion was carried,
only one member voting against ib.
Mr. Blake at once moved an amend-
ment, allowing the Ontario munici-
palities to enjoy the same privileges.
Not an Ontario Tory voted for that
amendment. Mr. Gibson then gave
au account of the Bouudary question,
and said that that question was not
settled yet, as Sir John still claimed
the right to dispose of the timber in
the disputed territory. Even sup
posing he considered himself guard-
ian of the timber, he was bound as a
trustee for the people to sell is to the
best advantage. But instead of this,
they had heard from Mr. ,Cameron
the reckless manner in which vale
able limits were disposed of. An im-
mense tract had been handed over to
the C. P. R., and they had removed
from it timber to the value of about
one milhou dollars. Hud those lands
been managed by the Ontario Gov
ernment there would probably have
been a new distribution of the sur-
plus. They recollected how Kirk.
laud wanted to deal with the timber.
He wanted the Commissioner of
Grown Lands to sell the timber lands
outright, but NIr. Pardee refused.
Mr. Pardee said that no man in Ins
position could stand. the pressure
which would be brought to bear upon
him if he had it in his power to eell
the timber lands at fifty cents an
acre. How different was Air. Par.
due's conduct from that of Sir John
Macdonald 1 The people had a great
doe! to thank Mr. Mowat for. The
late Mr. Bethune told hftn that no
one knew the anxiety of mind suffer-
ed by Mr.11iowat. For months and
mouths bo sat up night after night
till after midt.ight ransacking old
documents in order to prepare stun•
