Deceased was, as is well known,
of Highland Scottish parentage.
He was born in Glasgow Jan. 1 lth,
1815 and with his parents came to
Canada in 1820. They settled on
the Qninte Bay, near Adolphustowu.
John Alexander received his aehoul-
ing in Kingston. In hie his axe
teenth year he commeuced the study
of law. Passed as barrister at, twerem
ty-one and at ouce commenced the
practice of law in Kingston. He
married Isabella, daughter of the
late Alexander Clark. of Dalnavert,
Invernesshire, Scotland. She hied
in 1856. Hie second wife, whom
he married in 1867, was* Susan Ag
nes, daughter of the late Hon. T. J.
Barnard, a member of her Majesty's
Privy Council of the island of Jama-
ica. Lady Macdonald, a son Hugh
J. Macdonald, M.P. for Winuipeg,
and an invalid daughter, both
children by his first wife, survive
him. His first important case was
his defence of Shoultz and others
in 1838 for. invading Canada and
assisting the rebels. But the guil
of the accused was so clear that .no
human skill could save thein and
they were executed at Kingstout Dec.
8, 1838. The present Lieut. Gov-
ernor of Ontario, Sir Alex. Camp•
bell, and Premier Mowat studied
law in his office. In 1843 he was
first elected to Parliament, for King-
ston, as a moderate Coneervative,
and a Liberal Conservative he died

Mr. DAVIN. I have listened
with interest to the remarks of, my
bon. friend, whom, if he w II not
think it importinent on my part, I
weloome back to the Parliament o
Canadn, though I should have pre -
'erred, of course, to see in his place
my friend Mr. Porter. My hon.
friend the member for Huron illus
tratea the principle of abstention, iii
which he and I believe. He had Lodi
much porter, and he could not come
up to time. The Porter was remov
ed from his locality, and there he is,
and I am very glad to see him. As
•we had to have a Reformer, there is
nobody I should prefer seeing here
than my hon. friend Now, the
peech of my hon. friend, to which we
have just listened, divides itself into
three parts. The first part dealt
with what might be called the
figurative language of Sir Charles
Tupper. The next part dealt with
the career ot Sir Charles Tupper he.
• ore he became High Commissioner,
and a small portion of the close of
the speech dealt with him as High
Commissioner, Now, for middle-
aged men and some past mtddle-age,
t seems to me very extraordinary
that we should be so sensitive to a
phrase—that it should irk the soul o
tbo hon. member for Huron that he
and hie fellow leaders of the Reform
party should be called "ruined
r amesters." What did Stit Charles
Tupper mean by that expressien?
He could net have meant,. that, any
hon. friend the member for Huron is
given to paying the seductive game
of poker and loses heavily. He
could not have meant that any of the
other leaders, take, for instance the
hon. member. for Bothwell (Mr. Mills),
were given to that interesting game
and lost heavily at it. It is evident
ty a figurative phrase applied to
them as politicians. What could it
mean ? It could only mean that
they had bet un a certain policy and
had lost—that they bad bet on ute-
restricted reciprocity and commercial
union and had lost. And what, then
were they but ruined gamesters?
But, Sir, still more extraordinary is
it that gentlemen Bo sensitive about
a figurative phrase should, in the
very breath in which they complain
of that phrase, have used also figura-
tive language ; tor the hon. member
for Huron, in the very sentence in
which he complained of the phrese
4ruined gamesters," called Sir Charles
nipper a political bulldozer. Now
really there is not mnoh difference.
If you were to take a pair of scales
nd weigh the two phrases— if you
would put the phrase "ruined
gamester" in the one scale and
"political bulldozer" in the other, 1
venture to say they would balance
each other almost as nicely as a pair
of apothecary scales weighing some
in fin itesimal prescription. Not only
that. My hon. friend left the figura-
tive; he departed from the imagina-
tive field and came to -plain language,
and he declared that for twenty-five
years the career of Sir Charles Tupper
had been one of plunder. Well,
that is a strong phrase especially
coming from gentlemen who are so
sensitive about, being called "ruined
gamesters ;" and then my hon. friend
cited a quotation from a speech of Mr
McLean, made in 1876, in the Nova
Scotia Parliament, in which be spoke
very harshly, and also in a figurative:e
manner, of Sir Charles Tupper. But,.
Sir, in this very House—I was her,'
at the time—Mr. McLean, who, I
think, was then Finance Minister or
Postmaster General, got up and re
pudiated all those phrases whim:it-se-
have been read out with so much"
unction by the hon. member for
Eluron. My hon. friend complained
of Sir Charles Tupper's enthusiasm
over the Canadian Pacific Railway
and. the North West. Sir, I doubt
if I should be standing here to -day
troubling the House,i1 it were not
for what Sir Charles 1,upper has done
for the North-West. There is no
man in Canada, not even his illus-
trious leader, to whom the North-
West is more indebted than to Sir
Charles Tupper. He al waya believed
in the North-West; and, Mr.
Speaker, indeed at that, time, which
was a time of doubt and despondency
—and we know very well that
amongst Reformers despondency
is a disease more common than
with Conservativea—we needed
an enthuaiastio man, a man
of eager, burning character like
Charles Tupper to give enthusiasm to

SIR CHARLES TUPPER
SUSTAINED.
Parliament has sustained High
Commissioner Sir. Charles Tupper,
and the Government by a majority
f 32 on Mr. Edgar's Franchise
Amendment.
The motion of Hon. Mr. Laurier
wee that
"The conduct and language of Sir
Charles Tupper, High Commissioner
of Canada in England, in interfering
in the recent elections and in im-
puting treasonable and disloyal mo-
tives to a large proportion of the peo
ple of this Dominion etc., etc., ia a
breach of the duties of the office
which he fills' etc.
.Now what Sir. Charles actually
did eay is contained in the words :—
"I bave shown that Sir Henry
Tyler, like Artemus Ward, who was
ready to sacrifice all his wife's retie -
tions to the war, having by his fatuous
mismanagement reduced his corn,
pany to the greatest straits, turned
his back upon the Government which,
according to his own lettter, h.d
saved the Grand Trunk Company,
and united with Messrs. Wisnan an4
Farrer, who were suggesting to the
United States the means of reducing the
Grand Trunk Company to bankruptcy,
in an attempt to subvert British institu-
tions in Canada. Fortunately for
Canada atulfor. the Empire to which it
belongs this last throw of ruined games,.

If the Minister of Justine dairies
that that Sir Charles Tupper has
rendered great service to Canoeist
the building of that railway 18 nut
the least he has doue io the interest
of Canada. Theo, it is said he spoke
of the Grand Trunk Railway as being
giuen up tojubbery, corruption and
extravagance. I know nothin
about the jobbery, 1 know nothing
about the corruption, hut I do know,
that the last contest illustrated the
extravagance, and, I think, also the
eorrruption of that company. The
hon. member for South Oxford (Sir
Richard Cartwright) complained the
miter night, that the Canadian Paci
fin Railway had given some assistance
to this Government in the late con -
teat. I do not know whether it did
or not, but I do know, that
throughout one whole division in my
constituency—though 1 arn aware
sinoe that date that it was without
the knowledge or -consent of Mr.
VanHorne—the whole influence of,
he Canadian Pacific Railway was
used againat me. If so, we have
here again a specimen of con-
sistency. My hon. friend from
Huron (Mr. Catneron) complains of
ir Charles Tupper's figurative lane
guaga, calls him a bulldozer, and yet,
thee gentlemen, who hold up their
bands in holy horror at the actiou of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, had un
objection to accept the assistance of
the Grand Trunk.
'When Sir Charles Tupper declares
that the course pursued by the
Liberal party was a disloyal course,
and was calculated tolead to annexe.
tion, we have to suppose that lie be
lieved it. In fact we have Mr. Blake
expressing the tome opinion. He is
no ilonger sitting m this House.
Why ? Because he Came to time con
elusion, so far as I could gather from
hat letter of his, that somehow or
other, that part of the policy of the
Liberal party to which he belonged,
would lead to annexation. However,
we have nothing to do with that, it is
merely by the way. We have to
take Sir Charles Tupper's words as to
what his belief was. Now, suppose
he is an ordinary civil servant with-
out any political record. It is known
that, he is a man of vent power on
the platform, and the head of the
Government he serves sends word
to lin: "Come over. You are a
man of great political power on the
platform—come over and help us.
According to the hon. member for
North Wellington (Mr. McMullen),
you have luxurious chambers, but
till, come over here, we want you to
helpu5. You know what these peo-
ple, our opponents, are fighting for
'hey have raised a disloyal cry, and
we want you to beat it down.'
What would be thought of him if he
did not obey that call, even supposs
ing he had no political record what-
ever, once he was told by the head
of the Government that he could
render his country a service? And
if he were a patriotic Canadian, and
were honest in his belief, what would
be thought ot him if he hesitated?
I will go further than that, and I
will say this The man is not in
that position at all ; he is a man w1111
a political record, he is an ex -Minis-
ter of the Crown. It is only the
other day that he was sitting tiller_
where the Finance Minister is now
itting• There is hardly an item of
expenditure that has been incurred
by this government during 14
years for which he is not. re-
sponsible. He is responsible for
the policy which is the main
plank in the platform of the Govern-
ment at this hour. He fousht for it
in 1878, be fought for it session after
ession. tie is a Privy Councillor;
le is sworn to do all he can, there.
tore, to secure loyalty to Her Majesty,
and so far as he is able, he is bound
to preserve the allegiance ofithis coun •
try to Her Majesty. WeUSir, this man
ia told that the country is in danger,
that the colleagues who sat by his
side are in danger, and are fighting
tor their lives, that the country is in
the balance and at stake, and he is
asked by the Prime Minister to come
over here and fight in the bat le that
is impending. What would be
thought of him, let we ask you, if he
looked round on those luxurious
Thambere of which the member for
North Wellington sp aks so eloquen t
ly and ao fondly, and thought
to himself: "How can I leave
this? How can I leave the
luxury of London ? How cant leave
rubbing .elbows with Dukes and
Ducheeees, and go over to the rough-
and-tuinble fight of a Canadian elec-
tion 2" If he had any touch of
baseness in him you could fancy him
hesitating; but I need hardly tell
you that that is not the character of
the man. I believe he has often
been called the war -house of Cumber-
land ; he is like the war-horse in Job,
be "sniffs the battle from afar.'
And you mny be perfectly certain
that when Ile was summoned to come
over here to fight in the elections,
he did not hesitate for one moment,
but he put on his armour, and he
took down his sword; and if I may
quote the words that indicatea situa-
tion not at all unlike, the words

The County Council of Bruce
reached Goderich between four and
five o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
A largo number of carriages were in
the procession, which was headed
by the Lucknow band. .It drove
around the square and stopped at
the south side, when the members
proceeded to to the Court House
where they wore cordially welcomed
by Huron's chosen yeomen. After
introductions and a short fraternal
chat, the Councillors of the united
counties of Hurou and Bruce, head-
ed by the Wardens marched two
shrew to the harbor and inspected
the water works, the Big Mill and
other lower town industries. It is
said that shortly after the return to
the Court House a banquet was ten-
dered the visitors, but whether such
necessary courtesy was really ex-
tended we personally do not know.
When the report first reached
Goderich that Sir John was dying,
big tear drops were seen falling from
the eyes of a well known young
lately, and a leading Conservative,
one who loved Sir John greatly,
fairly sobbed when spoken to on the
subject. When the news reached
town on Saturday of death's victory,
Sir John's friends spoke in low
whispers, as though the power of
speech had almost left them, but
even then with the country's loss
plainly before them, they nnanun-
ottelr reechoed Faith Fenton's
words : "And while our eyes are
lifted skyward in one passionate pe-
ition that he may returia to ue, yet,
if that return should mean a shadow --
ed life, our eyes drop earthward,
our hands unfold, and amid a na-
tion's weeping we let him go—to
meet the God of nations and of
men."
