Mr. Farrow strongly coxidemned the Pas

Retu Ding Officer called for the nomina-

Dr Holmes, of Brussels, proposed,

onde Mr. Thornes Farrow.

A emend was made for the qualifica-

hand (I. in to the Returning Officer.l.
Mr Fraser, of Ashfield, entered repro -

re being no other candidates pro-
pose( the Returning Officer announced
that n account of the weather being so
cold he had determined to limit the
spea Mg of the movers and seconders to
five Mutes, and the candidates to half
an 1 Lir. and called upon the movers
and econders to address the electors.
Dr. flolmee, as the nerainator of Mr.
Farrow, said that he had had the pka-
sure la little over a year ago of nominat-
ing ! r. Farrow as a tit and proper per -
so. o represent North Huron in the
Cotn,nons of the Dominion. . That nomi-
nation had then been endorsed by a
lar ke majority of the electors of North
Hr4n. In performing a similar duty
forl r. Farrow on the present occasion
he f t he couldehonescly say that that

weighed in the balance and was not
wanting. He has proved true to
principles he professed ,when 'first

fit sure that a large majority of the

sch ming and plotting to keep them-
selVes in power: In all their schemes
an, in all their plots against the inter-
est of this country Mr. Farrow, since he
pied a position in ParliaMent, had.
n them a helping hand. He had.
inated. as a representative a man of
abi ty, and a man of independence, who
wo Id serve them faithfully, but who
wo id not be a slave to any Govern -
mei t. He had known Mr, Leckie for
yea s, and he knew of no man better
qn lified than he to represent North
Hu on in the , Dominion Parliament.
Th Reform party had fought in opposi-
tio for twenty years, and he was proud
to, ay that the principles they contend-
ed. or during that time, while in opposi-
tioi , they now pledged themselves to
y Out in power. The policy of the
• eht Government was one which
id be beneficial to the interests of
• country, and he advised the electors
Torth Huron to send to Parliament a
resentative who would support the
ernment in carrying out that .pelicy.
Pacific Scandal was the onlyp policy
John everhad which he could justly
his own, and he was defegted on
in this policy Mr. Farrow had
ported him, but he felt sure the in-
igent electors of North Hifron would
endorse his conduct in so doing. •
Ir. Leet thought Mr. Farrow had
e something to which exception could
taken. • Had. not a charter been sold,
re would not now be any necessity
an election. It was the fault of the
Government, which Mr. Farrow
ported, that We were now put to the
ense of a general election. The poi -
of the present Government is such
t no true Canadian can object to it,
n Mr. Farrow can only find objec-
tions to one portion of that policy, and
yet, if elected, he will vote against the
men who have propounded the policy of
which he in the main approves. The
stion now to be decided is a questidn
of morality and not of politics. If the
el tors of North Huron approve of the
sale of alarge public contract to a publie
tractor for money with which to keep
Government in power, then, they
uld vote for Mr. Fatrow. But if
y do not approve of such conduct,
th y cannot consistently vote tor him,
bult must vote for Mr. Leckie.
Mr. . Farrow regretted the occasion
ich brought them together to -day.
regret was not caused by a fear of
eting his constituents, as he had
hing to hide -nothing to cloak, from
m, but on account of the gross out -
e which had been committed on the
ple of this country. Ho. considered
dissolution of the House an outrage.

n dollars, and, in addition to this,
k at the other innumerable expenses,

seem account of it. Look at it in a
ra1; social or financial point of view,
it is an outrage. But what do these
n who are now at the head of affairs
care how much evil, loss and misery
y inflict upon the country, if they
by any means advance their own
ash ends. Mr. Mackenzie did not

of the House and showed conclusively
that a necessity existed:for the dissolu-
tion and that the action of the Govern-
ment in this respectwas quite justifiable.
It was acknowledged that a number of
the representatives had.: gained their seats
in that House by coirrUpt to.eaus, and if
this were the case, 0 even ten men had
so gained. their seats, then were the -Gov-
ernment justified in causing a general
telection, in order that these ten men who
had. obtained their meats dishonestly
might be sent fronithe House or elected
honestly as the representatiyes of their
constituents . lf, in dissolving Parlia-
ment the Government have done wroog,
the people have an epportimity of punish-
ing them for having so acted. If the
Government have done wrong it submit-
ting the gnestiona before the country
to the great tribunal pf. the people for
its cleciAsion, that tribunal had now
an opportunity Of deciding against them.
But he Volleyed. that]they had not done
wrong, and that their 'course would be
sustained. With regard. to the question
of Protection about vthich Mr. Farrow
says so much, he beloved in fostering
and encouraging our infant manufac-
tures, but he did rest believe it would be
for the interests Of the .people of this
country or fpr the farmers of ° North
Huron to impose,' a protective tariff
whieh would encourage monopoly. This
was the view which the present Govern-
ment took of this ;question, and he be-
lieved it to be the cerrect view, and the
view which would be endorsed by a large
majority of the intelligent electors of
Canada. The present -Government ,dicl
not propose -and. he .defiecl Mi. Farrow
cto'show that they did -to remove the
incidental protection we now enjoyed,
but they did not pfapose to_increase it,
and had Mr. Farrow's friends remained.
in power they would not have dared. to
increase it This Mr. Farrow well knew,
and his present howl for protection was
put forth for effect and nothing more.
With regard. to the 'biiilding of the Pa-
cifie Railway, he said that it ill became
Mr. Farrow or his friends to complain. of
the policy of the .present Government on
this question. He (Mr. Leckie) believed
that the Canadian = Pacific Railway
should be built, and he would support
no Government that- would refuse to
build it. The present Government
promised to build_ it as soon as the re- .
sources of the eogfitry would permit,
and this was the beat any Government
could. do. But, in the meantime, the
present Government proposed to give the
people of the Northwest and British Co-
lumbia, an outlet What did the Govern-
ment which. kr. :Farrow supported do
in this question'?- 'They pledged the good
name Of the country that that road
would be commended. within two years
from. the date of the completion of nego-
tiations, and to have it completed within
ten years. Now, had Mr. Farrow's Gov-
ernment carried' out- this agreement ?
Two years and a half of the time had al-
ready passed, and. not one spadeful has
yet been turned, and the road has not
even been located. It would. be seen,
therefore, that it was the late Govern-
ment and not the present Government,
as Mr. Farrow would like to make them
believe, which. broke faith with the
British Columbia*. Again Mr. Farrow
stated that all the, money which would.
be expended on the roads win& the
Goverronent propesed. to construct as
pioneer roads would, be thrown away
when the trunk Pacific road was built.
It would seem that Mr. Farrobiv's stu-
pidity was only equalled. by his incon-
sistency. hi one breath he seicl that
the Goverzunent had. abandoned the
main line of the Pa,cific Railway,
and condemned. them because they
had done so,and in the very
next he adnitted that' the road.
would be built, but that the money
expended. on the shorter lines built to
connect the water communication would
be thrown away when the Governraent
built the trunk line. For Mr. Farrow's in-

would not be thro n away. He:believ-
ed that when tha country. was thoOugh-

and we in this s ction would have no

ment of Mr. Farr w that the Canadia.n
Pacific should. be • uilt in as short a time
as the American nion Pacific, he would
reinind Mr. Fa ow that the Union
Pacific was backe up and built by 40
million people, herea.s the Canadian
Pacific would. hav to built by four mil-
lion of people. H trusted Mr. 'Farrow
would bea ile to Perceive that there was
a slight difference lin this respect. His
opponent stated that Mr. Mackenzie and.
Mr. Brown. owned land. at P-embina, and
that this was the reason they intended
to construct the c nriecting link- of rail-
way batmen Win iipeg and that point.
He did. not know whether this story was
correct or not, but he did know that Mr.
Mackenzie had p blicly stated that he
did not own one f t of land any place
near where the Go -eminent proposed to
construct their lin and he thought the
word of Mr. Mack nzie would. be believ-
ed by those whom e addressed in pref-
erence to a flying =LOT. But evhether -

Farrow or any oth r man dare to say that,
Mackenzie and'Br wn conld control the
destinies of this co ritry. No, the peo-
ple of Canada held the destinies of Ca-.
nada in their own ands, and he felt sure
that they would-. not allow Mr. Mae-
kenzie or Mr. -Br° or even Sir John
A. Macdonald to legislate away those
interests in order hat they might effect
*personal gain. In reply to the charge'
of Mr. Farrow that the Government had
'stolen their policy from Sir John, Mr.
Leckie said it was a strange thing if the
measures which the present Govern-
ment now proposed had. been stolen frora
Sir John, that gentleman during the
20 years he had 'held. office, had never
taken the opportunity of introducing to
Parliament one of thein. Mr. Leckie ,
concluded. an ableland eloquent speech
by expressing full • confidence in the
honesty and integrity of the present
Govermnerrt, and his belief in their in-

NEWS OF THE WEEK. -
GMAT 'BRITAIN.
DISSOLUTION ,01)
meat is dissolved le Royal decree. Mr.
Gladstone has issu4d an address to his
constituents at Greenwich, asking for
re-election, and announcing that the
Queen has been pleased to accept the ad-
vice of her Ministexis to dissolve the pres-
ent Parliament ininediately, and sum-
mon a new one to neet on the 5th day
of March, 1874. In. his address Mr.
Gladstone gives a a reason for this
measure th-at sine the defeat of the
Government upon i4ie Irish higher edu-
cation question;by jhe concurrent efforts
of the leader of he Opposition and.
Catholic preldey of ITieland, the Govern-
ment has not been possessed. of sufficient
authority to carry out legislative mea-
sures. Its experience during the recess
of Parliament has not indicated that any
improvement in its position was probable.
The chief of the Opposition having re-
fused to accept office on the defeat of
the Government, and the Cabinet, feel-
ing that they ha-ve not that support
which every Ministry ought to enjoy, an
appeal to the people is the proper remedy
for such things. The advantage of a
solution at the present moment is that
the estimates are so far advanced that
the Government is able to promise a
surplus of five millions sterling, with
which it intends to 'abolish the income
tax, ana to relieve local taxation Among
matters likely to come before Parliament
are the readjustment of the Educational
act, improvement of the local Govern-
ment, and of the land, game and liquor
laws. The address promises a large
measure of relief from the duties °a
articles entering iiito general consumpT
tion, and expresses the hope for a speedy
assimilation of county With borough
franchise.
THE ASRANTER WAR: -A London dis-
patph says it is rumored that the King
of the Ashantees sent an embassy to
Gen. Wolseley suing for peace and offer-
ing indemnity.
