The Elections in Ontario.
The elections in Ontario are re-
,
milting more favorably for the Oppo-
sition party than in our most
sanguine moments we , anticipated.
Notwithstanding the superhuman
efforts being put forth by the Gov-
ernment, Ontario now bids fair to
declare against them by a large ma-
jority. For the past two months
Ministers have been perigi inating
through the country, like wandering
Ishniaelites, harranguing the people,.
and destrib- using secret service
money. It is all in vain, however,
they have been tried in the balance
and found wanting. • The people are
alike deaf to their entreaties, and
averse to accepting their money.
Already fifteen constituencies 'which
during the last Parliament were re-
presented by subservient supporters
have been wrested from the Govern-
ment, and staunch Oppos.itionists
returned in their stead. Thus far
the Opposition have a majority of
two, and it is in every way probable
that before the 3rd of Septetnbei this
majority will be largely increased.
In the city- constituencies where the
electors are more susceptible to cor-
ruption, the Government have gain-
ed, but in the rural districts, among
the sterling farmers of the Province,
they have' lost heavily. In Qnebe,,
also, the ,Oppositionists are doing
good work, .and if they continue as
they have begun, Sir John's predic-
tion that he will be .Prime Minister
for five years to come, in spite of
Ontario, will not be ;verified.
The First Instalment.
•
At a meeting of his friends held
in the county of Perth, a. few drays
ago, Sir John A. Macdonald an-
nounced that the Queen had' been
pleased to appoint him a Privy
Councillor of Great 'Britain, and.
• that he would proceed to England
to be sworn in as soon as the elec-
tions were oyer. This is just what
we expected. These favors, as every
person knows, are granted by the
Queen upon the advice of her con-
stitutional advisers, or, in other
words, the Government of the clay
in England. This last honor con-
ferred aeon Sir John is, therefore,
the first instalnient of the reward
which he is to receive from the
British Government for sacrificing
the interests of Canada by compell-
ing the Parliament to ratify the
provisions of the Washington
relating to this country. It is a well
authentickted fact that upon the de-
cision of our Parliament rested the.
fate of the Gladstone Government
If our Plarliament had refused to
ratify the provisions of the `Wash-
ington Treaty relating to Canada,
the principal props supporting that
Treaty- would have been knocked,
from under it and the whole fabric
would have toppled over -itte ruins.
The British Government saw this.
They also knew that if they failed
to carry out that Treaty, they would
be compelled to resign their posi-
tions, as many of their suppot teis
were ready to join their opponents,'
and cause their overthrow if they
failed in the'accomplishment of this
�
object. The position was a most
critical one. The Canadian Govern-
ment, led by Sir John, bad protest-
ed against the injustice that was -
about being inflicted upon thiscoun-
try by the Treaty, and unless some Ca
means could be devised to reconcile hi
them the Treaty must fall through, Sir
and the Gladstone Government go'
to the wall. All, it will be seen,
depended upon the Canadian Gov-
ernment and Parliament. Mr. Glad-
stone,knew hie men. He kireN�• that
Sir Join - Macdonald and Cartier
had control of the Canadian Govern-
ment and Parliament, and he knew
that these gentlemen had two . cher-
ished- desires to gratify., They de-
sired -the control of sufficient}rnoney
to retain them in power, and .they
lusted for honor. Mr. Gladstone set.
the machinery in motion whereby
both might be'gratitied. He profn-
ised the Imperial guarantee- for a
sum of money with which to com-
mence the Pacific Railway -scheme,
thus throwing into the hands of the
Government a money power which,
if properly rnanipulated, will, it
hoped, secure sufficient suppoit for
the present Gover nment- to keep
theme in power for at Ieast five years.
The gratification of the second de-
sire is now being carried out as will
be Been from the above statement
made by Sir John himself. This
accounts for the sudden change of
sentiment by the Canadian Govern-
ment, and this is the Imperial- pres-
sure which has been brought to bear
upon the Government, of which we
have heard so much, to induce them
to secure the ratification of the
Treaty by Parliament. Sir John
and Sir George, to gratify their de-
sire for horror and power, have not
only themselves sacrificed—by their
own acknowledgement—the- inter-
ests of Canada, but have induced
their followers ie Parliament t� vote
to do likewise.
The Premier's Speech at Clinton.
Those who visited Clinton on Sat-
urday last for the purpose of hear-
ing from Sir John A. Macdonald an
exposition of the _public questions
of day, me v
the 1 st lave y, a come away
feeling sadly disappointed, if not
eiisgusted. It was certainly to be
expected, that a person occupying
the exalted position of Prime Min-
ister of the Dominion • of Canada
would deliver the speech of a States-
man

stump speaker. 'We publish else-

instead of dealing with the public

self -laudation and abuse of. political
opponents. Not one single question

caused the repeal. - f the tariff' on

that action served t injure him in

was to act the part of ak common bul
ly, and raise a disturbance in 'tb
crowd, thus removing. the attention
of his audience from the point. The
dodge was_gertaiuly an ingenious one,
but was, in our opinion, beneath the
dignity of a statesman.. The fact -of
the Matter is, Sir John did not go to
Clinton to defend the ac L dills Gov-
ernment, or to reply to troublesome
questions. His object was.to make
a k unconb electionbering speech, and
thereby; if possible, `•del ude the peo-
ple. That he succeeded in - the
former is generally admitted by all
who heard him, blit we very much
doubt if . the 1F tter = was Suc-

g
clap -traps m ty serve to encourage a
city snob, but the intelligent and
thinking yeomenry of the rural con-
stituencies look for. and expect some-
thing more substantial, honest, and
instructive from a gentleman occupy-
ing the position of first Minister of
the Dominion of Canada. By his
speech on Saturday, Sir John disap-
pointed his friends, -arid disgusted
his opponents, and did more to
lower himself in the estimation of
the intelli ent- and `- thinking
portion of he comuannity, than
has' all the corrupt and nefarious
measures wh ch he has championed
and carried t trough; Parliament dur-
ing the pas five years. That Sir
John may 1 ave strengthened the
interests of h•s party in this section
by. private •onversation with, and
promises of patronage, etc„ made to
leading mem ers of that party, we
do not doubt but We do very much
doubt that hi. remarks on the hust-
ings at Clin on had the effect of
even reconei ing the disaffected of
his party, nil. eh less making politi-
cal converts. The general feeling,
so far as we 1 ave been able to learn,
was one of disappointment. An
able defence of that conduct of his
Government, and the foreshadowing
of their futur policy, should they
retain power, was eXpectecl. Instead
of this his lis nets were treated to a
two hours' h: rangue, composed en-
tirely of self audatiou, unmeasured
abuse of oppo lents, an appeal to na-
tional and rel gious prejudice, spiced
by a liberal p •ofusion of slang epi-
thets and non.ensicai twaddle.

They are new busy in the agri-

have got through cutting and are
busy hauling and stacking. Some
�f the more pushing farmers have

menced harvest. A good deal of -
barley is cut and housed, or rather
stacked, because many 3laanitoba

ech, a great deal behind Ontario in that
mel- respect. With regard to the quality
said of the crops,.they are, to all -
aj
the pearances first-rate, the hay crop is
the unusually heavy, and if we are

not who are too lazy to cut hay. And
bor,
ect-
har-
some of the farmers will not only
not cut hay, but would actually be
too lazy to feed it to their stock if it
were cut for them, preferring to let
their cattle run their chances in the
woods. However, the live stock
don't do so ba c1, after all. I saw
one horse brought in last spring by
a farther., and he was fat as a seal—
but perhaps he was a good forager.
Generally, after the winter is over,
the horses and cattle look pretty
scaley, but it is marvelous to see the
rapidity with which they, recruit
when spring fairly opens.

whether Mr. Wood had a right t

member of the Local House. But O
Mr. Wood iaxplaining that the que

in which be partially reviewed the
acts of the Government since Con-
federation, and had he been permit-

full explanation of his own political
course and his present position. But
at the expiration of his half hour
some of the audience became dis-
orderly again, and Mr. Wood had
to retire. It is to be regretted that
he was not allowed time to fully ex-
press himself ; as it was, wItat would
have been the best politiceal speech
of the present etampaign in Huron;

I don't wain any of it. Pemmican
is like boarding-house hash—very
good, if you know what it is 'made
of. Another peculiarity of pem-
mican is that, there is too mtich hair
for good hash and too little for poor
mortar. 60, in the event of the
" 4,oppergrasses" devouring things,
tit+. prospect of living on penamican
is not altogether agreeable.
We are busy with the olitical
campaign, but your correspondent
d, does not bother his head much about
n_ it ; in fact, none of the candidates
man to the hackbone. Schultz and
Ieenth are milk and water men—
eadte water than milk, however.
You wc11 see by Lynch's address, in
the Libera4 that Le is running on
the old hackneyed political cry of
independence and no party, the
meaning of which you in Ontario
know ao your cost, and I guess in
Manitoba it will be ditto. Mr;
Hay, the leader of the Opposition in
the Legislatuee is out against
Schultz in Lisgan John Norguay,
our very effieient and brilliant Min-
ister of Public Works is also- after
John Christian Schultz, so that, be-
tween. them, the redoubtable Doctor
will, I think, stand a poor show.
Lynch has opposed to him in Mar-
quette Robert Cunningham, the ren-
egade Globe reporter and proprietor
of'the Ifanitoban, the Government
organ. Stewart Mulvey, editor of
the Liberal is to oppose D. A.
Smith in Selkirk, so, It they should
both he elected, the press in Mani-
toba, will, at any rate, be well rep-
resented. Out of the whole lot,
Mr. Hay is the only one who 'comes
anywhere near promising to oppose
the Dominion Government, and he
is a little shaky, so ;Iilanitoba bids
fair to send three ready tools to do
the bidding of the eorruptioniets.
I expect to go up the Saskaitche-
wan_in the fall, and will probably
pass the wihter up there, and before
returning I will likely see Fort Ed-
monton and the Rocky Mountains.
I will try to send you a description
Of the trip and of the country we
pass through. W. S.
