To The Electors of the East
Hiolne. of Huron County.
Gentlemen :—

to elect a representative to look after
your interests in the Federal Parliament.
As you are aware I am the candidate in
the interest of the Liberal party. I take
this opportunity to reepentfully solicit
yourvotes and influence. I hope to be
able to address the most of you from the
platform, when I shall gate my views
upon the pubho questions of the day.
I ask any friends to be active till the last
vote will be eoIled on the 22nd sox. If
this is done there is no doubt but Liberal
prinoiplee will be sustained and Ettst
Huron redeemed.
neve the honor to be, Gentlemen.
Your Humble Servant,

The impression Lis p.;ained ground
that the prospects of the Dominion
Government were-iulproving in
Quebec, bet the Absence of any op
poehtion to Merciel's (Jaime!' :loos
not corroborate this view.
Inn result of nomination ,lav
was very satisfactory to the Bream
party. :one of the Ontario eou:,ti•
tuences returned a member byi stet
ale/nation, but in Quebec live • sup•
porters of Hon. Edward Blake were
e) otod, and in two constituencoe in
Ontario two Reformers are running
inetead of a Oonservttive. In the
election of 1882 the result was very
different, as 8O Conservatives were
elected by acclamation and only one
Reformer. This is tale n ae a fore-
runner of a great victory on the
22nd, and it is believed that Hon.
Edward Blake and his supporters
will hold the Government ruins for
the cirt term of office
TRH time for talking in connec-
tion with the election in East Hort
on is about past and the result next
Tuesday depends very largely on
the faithful, enorgbtic and individ-
ual effort of every Reformer. It is
quite currently reported that several
Reformers, who are not very out
spoken as to their convictions, have
been approaebed by the agents of
a boodler, who is known, who have
endeavored to influence their votes.
Dr. Macdonald can be elected if
every Reformer stands by /tie prin-
ciples and if every elector who tee.
girds economical Government will
vote aecortlieg to hie honest convic-
tions. The light is not ao mach '
between the respective Otintiidates

extreme, and whenever he thought he

unbearably insulting. He respected the
position of no chairman, and violated
every compact that Was made. Many of
Porter's friends were disgusted with him.
and I heard more than one shrewd Con-
servative mildly remark that they be-
lieved the importation of Brown was an-
other 'auto trick of M. O. Cameron to de-
feat the Tory party in Nest Huron by au
increased majority. I don't know wheth-
er John Brown will remain in the eounty
or not, but I believe if Cameron can pos.
eibly prevail upon him to stay in the.rid-

this was pointed out the friends of hu-
manity had another regret to register.'
e a egos at In o f er eaten the In -
diens were deprived of the pittance as-
signed to them, or it was given to them
as if they ware dogs 1 They were too
often deceived. At the risk of creating
great surprise I affirm that the metameres
were not committed without previous pro.
vocation.' Ihereinvoke the testimony of
one of the victims himself. The Rev.
Father Fafard said, in conversation with
another missionary, who, in turn, related
it to me :—'Such a one (naming an ()Ma-
id) sats with shameful brutality towards
the Indians. He will be killed some day.'
The person alluded to was killed, and two
devoted missionaries inereased the num-
ber of victims they were striving to pro-
tect. A gentleman whose voracity I can.
not question assured mo that some In-
dians had told him in 1884 that an indi-
vidual, whom he mentioned, 'treated
them like doge,' and the same individual
was killed by the Indians Nebo had lodged
the complaint against him,"
Rev. John Magian, Methodist mission-
ary to the Blood Indiana, says :—
"Tho causes of the present discontent
among the Indians aro legion. Some of
the men employed by the Department on
the reservations have boon granted their
positions through political influence, even
though they have been utterly incompet-
ent for the reepoativc duties of their of-
fice, They receive good salaries, and yet
the Indians derive very little benefit from
their sorviees. Promiseshave been made
to the Indiana by Government officials
that have never boon kept. The Depart-
ment has professed to give thoee people
food enough to sustain them, yet at dif-
ferent times their rations have . been ant
down. Theyhave been told that they
were to remain on their reservations, but
it was impossible for thein to do so on
their daily allowance. About a million
dollars a year is now granted by the Do.r•
minion Parliament for the Indian se
vice, bub a high official in the Northwest
has stated that not ono -fourth of this
sural, or the equivalent of one-fourth, ever
roaches the Indians. The money is Alt.end through the hands of jobbers, sup.
ply men, agents, and other speculators,
until the Indians' share is reduced to
very littlo indeed."
Rev. Mr, MacDougall again says :--
"Veey little rebellion in these mon ten
ex Oboe, years ago, and had the conduct
of Government of bctels of every depart -
/limit sent into this country been such as
to commuted the respect of the natives,
there would have been no rebellion on
