The Conservatives now claim that Sir John was always favor of submitting the boouudary awa cue to the Privy Council. Such w not the case. It is quite true Sir Johu was in favor of having the question re- referred to the Privy Council in 1872,and that on that occasion Hon. Mr. Mowat objected to do soo, on the ground that the large mass of evidence would ha to be procured on this side of t Atlantic, and such being the case would be in the interest of all parti concerned to have the case settled arbitrator& in 1878 arbri:raturs w •pppointed soul made the award, but aI Macaenzie left power before the House , could ratify the award, and Sir John ' Macdonald refused to ratify it.

A. M. Rom to address the elec- tors. The honorable gentleman, on mien- ing forward, was luudl 'applauded. He said he was glad of the opportunity of meetiig the electors of Ashfield ou this 000ssiou. It had been said that par- liamentarians rarely visited their con- stituents except at election tunes. This was true to a considerable extent, and it was with the oSject of freeing himself loom that imputation that he was now bolding a series of meetings in the nding which he represented in the legislature. lis former jean when be was • private member of the Meuse, and when he was engaged in business at the tenuity town. and could be seen at any time by his constituents. he had not deemed it a necessity- to Dome amongst them in the years that intervened be- tween elections, but now when he had accepted a cabinet position, assumed new responsibilities, and was away from home a large portion of the time, he believed it was incumbent upon him to specially visit Isis constituents uccasionally, and render an account of his stewardship. If on the uccasion for no other reason, he wished to thank the electors of Ashfield for the table way they had stood by him in past contests, and for the handsome majority of 109 which the township had given him when he last went t.) the poll. The farmers should take a greater in- terest in the politics of the country than they did ; they were numerically larger than any other class, and 'in comparison were a great deal wealthier, and contri- buted more than all other classes to the material prosperity of the coun- try. During last year nut of the total exports of the country, for which .noney or its equivalent was returned, 14:3,000,- 000 was from the product of the fano, milting the case to them ; fouling that he and only 13,50(1,000 was from the manu- suggesteol the reference of the question factories of the Land, and sent to foretrn to Rude English judge -and named Lord countries from the manufacturers' work • Cairns as a fitting commissioner.

That township had stood up bravely for him, and had practically given hint the majority by which he had been elected. Hear, hear.)
