defeats which, the party sustainedfn
Cardwell,Monttreal Centre and Jacques
Cartier led to dessensions in the
Cabinet, which had been mole or less
suppressed before, and Messrs Haggart
and Montague personally waited on
Premier Bowell and asked for his resig
nation. Imagine the impudence of
two subordinates in a Cabinet, going
to the head thereof and asking for
his resignation. Mr. Bowell refused
to resign unless a caucus of the party
desired his resignation. If the party
desired it he would resign, not other-
wise.
This did not end the crinis. It only
precipitated matters, and seven minis-
ters handed in their resignations.
These were Messrs Tupper, Foster,
Haggart, Montague, Wood, Ives and
Dickey. Their reasons were that they
could not work with Mr. Bowell our
the school question. On the general
policy of the Conservative party they
were.unanimous. They evidently ex-
pected this 'action would force Mr.
Bowell out, and take Sir Charles
Tupper in, but he calmly accepted the
whole seven resignations, and these
men are no longer members of the
ministry. His opinion of his former
ministers was expressed in these
words: "You may say that it is the
blackest piece of political treachery on
record." He therefore determined to
try and do without the Tuppers and
their co-conspirators.
Little else has been talked about in
political circles. The papers are filled
with political surmises. At one time
it was thuHousewould be
-dF•.ysolved. QOtht the her reports said the
Governor-General would call upon Mr.
Laurier to form a ;Government.
The matter is still unsettled and is
tersely su mused up by the Globe's Otta-
wa correspondent as follows, in his let-
ter of Wednesday.
"Premier Bowell is still holding the
fort and has considerable barking, but
the split in his Cabinet is wider than
even and cannot be healed. It is war
to the knife apparently between the
Tupper -Foster conspiracy and the
Premier. Sir Mackenzie Bowell would
be more that human if he did not
•sharply resent the way he was
trampled on by his late colleagues in
the statement read by Mr. Foster. A
more cold -brooded, cruel and heartless
statement never was penned by a
public man. and a more shameless
confessi:.•n of duplicity and hypocricy
was -.never made to a deliberative
assembly. The statement is more,
much more; it is degrading to the
whole Canadian people, irrespective of
party. It is demoralizing in the sense
pf honor, fair play and manhood of the
Canadian citizen."
In the House of Commons Sir
Adolphe Caron, for the Government,
announced the resignation of seven
members of the Cabinet and asked for
an ajdournment for two weeks to
give the Government time to shape its
course. Mr.Laurier refused to consent
and Mr. Foster presented an explana-
tion of the reasons which ied to the
resignation, stating that it was not a
difference in policy, but dissatisfaction
with the Premier. Sir Mackenzie
Bowell, that impelled the action of
himself and the other ex -ministers.
Emphatic at any Rate
The Conservative papers have been
charging Mesflikton, Attroney-General
of Manta, with making a compact
wifli4fr Laurier in regard to the school
question. This is what Mr Sifton says
about it, which is emphatic and ex-
plicit at any rate:—
"Ihere is no compact,• understand-
ir g, agrement, arrangement, or in-
•tetition, trent or indirect, expressed or
implied, ,istwuen the Government of
;Manitoba d the Dominion Govern-
•nient, Mr L °prier, the Roman Catholic

poration, in Canada or elsewhere, in

meeting was organized, with R.

chair.
Ant' CAMERON 8 semis,
The ftret speaker was Mt M. 0. Cam-
eron, who was received with great ap-
plause._ He briefly. referred to the his-
tory of the Liberal party in the riding.
and proceeded to deal with the record
of the.Government, taking up the Mc-
Gheevy-Langevin conspiracy, the Tay
Canal, the Curran bridge and other'
like transactions, of which their name
is legion. He concluded his" speech
brief, but pointed, by a declaration of
his stand on the Manitoba school
question, and which 'declaration was
published in the Globe on Saturday
last. Mr Cameron was greeted with
frequent applause during his address,
and as he resumed his seat the cheers
were loud and prolonged.
The next epeaner was Mr McLellan,
of St. Catharines. The Conservatives
have at their meetings been announc-
ing that the candidature of Mr New-
man was a Grit conspiracy to draw
away Tory votes, but this speaker had
to change his tune, and took the line
that the fact of Mr Newman not being
a candidate was a Grit conspiracy.
He charged that Mr Newman had vis-
ited Mr Cameron's residence. Mr Mc-
Lellan assailed Mr D'Alton McCarthy,
and concluded his speech by a critic-
ism of Mr Laurier and asking the elec-
tors to stand by the old party.
THE GOVERNMENT CANDIDATE.
Mr Weismiller upon rising to speak,
proceeded to deal with the personal
matters referred to by Mr Newman,
and he read a letter which, he said,
had been written to him by Hon. N.
Clarke Wallace on Dec. 24th, 1895.
This letter warmly congratulates Mr
Weismiller upon his selection as the
Conservative candidate, and Mr Wal-
lace hopes that he (Mr Weismiller)
will continue in the principles he
maintained in 1894, being the year in
which he ran as a Meredith candidate.
The best thing in his speech was his
opposition to the Superannuation sys-
tem: Mt Weismiller referred to the
Liberal trade policy, but had no de-
fense for the wrong -doings of the
government; admitted that there was
a family trouble between the members
ofj the Cabinet, but believed ;the Con-
servatives would survive it all. He
was non -committal on the school ques-
tion, arid, as he could not say any-
thing in favor of the Government, he
concluded his address by a strong ap-
peal to the Orangemen.
MR PEDLEY'S SPEECH.
MrsErank Pedley was the last speak-
er, acrd, after paying his respects to
the shattered Government at Ottawa,
he took up the school question to be
interrupted by the Conservative can-
didate, who had neither interruptions
nor anything else to offer when Mr
Pedley read extracts from the reme-
dial order and asked him if he agreed
with the Government in that. The
request to speak was made' two or
three times, but Mr Weismiller was
even anonymously dumb. The trade
policy of the Government was next
taken up, and at each point the speak-
er was applauded. When dealing with
the Australian trade, a Mr McLean,'
butcher, interrupted, but must now
regret that he did so. The farmers in
the audience did not approve of the
Government's policy of givingto a line
of steamships a subsidy of $125,000 a
year to bring products here to under-
sell them. At this part of his address
a coercionist cried out "Scab mutton,"
and Mr Pedley retorted: "Well if that
Is so, then the Government is worthy
of the greatest condemnation." (Loud
cheers.) After dealing with a few of
the scandals, Mr Pedley concluded an
able speech of over an hour's duration
by a c pital arraingment of the Gov-
ernment tottering to decay and an ap-
peal to the electors to support Liberal
principles and Hon. Wilfred Laurier.
(Loud applause.) The meeting closed
with the usual cheers.
Mr R. O. Newman, ofToronto, the P.
P. A. representative, was the next
speaker. He said he regretted the in-
formality in his nomination papers,
for he desired to . -be a candidate.—
Dealing with the pte@vious speakers'
charges, he denied eabphatically ever
having been at Mr Camerons resid-
ence, and Mr Cameron also denied the
charge. Mr Newman then referred to
correspondence between Hon. N.
Clark nd Mr Weismiller of
recent date. Wallace',A 'stormy scene occured
here, but the speaker was soon able to
proceed. He said messages had been
sent by Conservatives in the riding to
Toronto requesting for God's sake, to
have Newman withdrawn. He could
not recall' all the names, but mention-
ed'•Dr. Tenant, of Lucknow, and Mr A.
M. Todd{ of Clinton, He intimated
that Mr Wallace was not in sympathy
with the Conservative candidate in
this contest. tfe knew Mr. Wallace
b sent a•message ,to Victoria, B, O.
advising Conservatives to vote against
a Government, candidate. After con-
fronting Mr McLellan with some
lodgeresolutione, Mr Newman resum '
ed his seat. • °' '

the first ti"tne that there was no hope
forhim•and all they could do was to
devote themselves to making his pass-'
ing away as painless as possible, which
they affectionately did, ,
Mr McDonald was born at Nairn, In-
vernes shire, Scotland, in1828,and when
two years old came with his parents to
Oanada, settling at Pictou, N.S. After
a residence there of fifteen years they
removed to the township of Tooker -
smith, Huron 0o. Mr McDonald then
budding into manhood,,. took a course
at a commercial college in Toronto,
and afterwards entered the employ-
ment of the firm of Glasgow; McPher-
son 8c Co. dt Fingal, and remained
there seven years. He was then trans-
ferred to Clinton to manage another
foundry owned by the firm at that
point. From there he carne with his
brother .James and Mr Geo, McPher-
son to Stratford, where they started
the .nanufacture of threshing ma-
chines under the firm natne:of McDon-
ald, McPherson & Co. Mr McDonald
retired in 1886, and Mr J. P. McDonald
in 1892 to take the management of the
N. American Mill Building Co„ leaving
the business in the hands of Mr James
McDonald.
He was in his prime a very indus-
trious, clear headed, business man and
early in life secured a competence. He
served the city as alderman in 1892, and
was one of , the best representatives
Shakespeare ward sent to the council
in recent years. He was also promin-
ent in Knox church affairs,having been
a member of the management commit-
tee for over twelve years. In politics
he was a Liberal, and though a manu-
facturer, a strong advocate of a low
tariff. He was a very torcible political
speaker. and rendered good service to
his party on many a platform. He
was, in fact, a citizen of the highest
worth, one whom any place could ill
afford to lose.
He leaves a widow, two sons and
three daughters. The eldest son, A. T.
McDonald, is aty editor of the Times,
Denver, Col.; Fergus resides in the
same city, and John has his home in
Detroit. The daughters are Mrs W.A.
Rutherford, of Toronto, and MiseLaura
who resides at home. A more kind-
hearted and indulgent father no fami-
ly ever had. ' Besides his brotherJames
in this city, he has three others, one
of whom is Dr McDonald ,M. P. Wing -
ham, and one sister, Mrs Elgie, of Hen -
sail.
During the past session West Huron
was practically unrepresented in the
House. Be the present session long or
short a resident of the constituency
should be its representative, and Mr.
Cameron is the only candidate in the
field who resides in the riding. Cast a
ballot for him on Tuesday next.
