GEORGE MOATZ A Sure Thing —0— o— FOR PURE PARIS GREEN FOR GENUINE HELLIBORE FOR No. 1 INSECT POWDER BROWNING'S —IS— TRE SPOT what from the fierce heat of last week, Dur- ing the forenoon .there was a continuous influx of Orangemen and their female friends into the town, and by noon the neighbor- hood of the hotels was covered with yehioles. Four trains from east, north and South. were crowded, and rolled thirty-nine carloads of people into the station. At one o'clock the brethren assembled on the cricket grounds and moved off in the following order :- W. Bro. E. Floody, County Master, South Huron. Orange Young Britons County of Middlesex. County of of North Perth. County of South Perth. District of Kincardine. District of Kinloss. District of Wawanosla. County of South Huron Grand officers and others in carriages -R. W Bro. W. Fitzgerald, R. W. Bro. Maj. White, R. W. Bro. Dr, Oronhyatekha, W. Bro, Jas. Thompson, W. Bro. F. W. Johnston, W, Bro. W. O'Con- nor, W. Bro. W. H. Birney. The route of march " was along Trafalgar street to North street, along north street to Square, around the Square to West street and thence to the park. About 70 lodges, cantaining perhaps 5,000 mon with numer- ous bands were in line. A large number of handsome silk bonners wero carried. When the procession leached the park the line opened out and the graud officers passed through the line to the front and took places on the platform with the leadirg local breth- ren. M. W. Bro. N. Clarke Wallace, 11I. P•, Grand Master and Sovereign of British America, who had intended being present, was unavoidably detained. A gathering of perhaps 10,000 people wore present to hear the sddresr,es. W. Bro. E. Floddy, County MasterZof South Huron, took the chair, and opening the proceedings, said he had great pleasure in seeing such a large gathering. If there opponents, some of whom were pre- sent, imagined that Orangeism was dying out they would come to the conclusion that it was flourishing, and in a prosperous con- dition- In the County of Huron alone the order was flourishing and growing rapidly, some of the lodges having doubled their number of members. Ten throughout the Dominion and the North-west Territories and Manitoba the Orange Association was growing rapidly. He bid all heartily welcome to the oeleb titin_ ..Ho then celled 'upon 'the mayor of the town. Mayor Seager was warmly received. He said it was his p,easaut duty ou behalf of his townspeople to extend to the visiting Orange- men a hearty welcome to the town. Right Worshipful Brother W. W. Fitz- gerald, of London, Grand Master of Ontario West, who was then introduced, was receiv- ed with cheers. .He said he had great plea- sure in appearing among them, as it was al- ways a pleasure to him to be with his brethren on the 12th of July tc celebrate that day. They were not there to say harsh things of those who differed with them. Their constitution forbade them doing any- thing of that kind. 'They had no right, and they had no desire, to say anything harsh of those who differed from them or failed to worship as they did. The grand principle of the Orange Association was equal rights, equal liberties, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech for all men, whatever their creed, nationality or religion, so long as they were loyal to Weir Queen and coun- try. In that broad principle they welcomed all anon to their ranks, whether Grits or Tories, Presbyterians or Methodists, so loug as they espouse the Protestant religion and wore loyal and tree to their country. If all men would only read the declaration of Orange principles he was sure they wuuld boon range themselves under the Orange banner and celebrate the 12th of July like those present. He gave all such a cordial invitation to join them. It was sometimes said that Orangemen were banded together for improper purposes, and people found fault with them because they were a secret society. Every family lead ite secrets, which they preserved sacredly, and if they did not preserve there there would boon be trouble The Orangemen, as a largo family,f.vere de- sirous of knowing their brethren, and where - ever they met a man who gave the proper grips and passwords they knew that men was a loyal British subject, a true Protestant and a man whom they could trust. Then it was said that they had too much p ilitics in their aseooiation. There never Was a fouler charge made against their order. It was true of course that the were all politicians. notman in the whol comm n - There was a o a it who was, not olitieian more or rr less. Y P , He had a right to use ]iia franchise and to learn for himself OA which side of politics he should cast his vette. So far members of the association were politicians ; but no word was said in the lodges at to how members should cast their ballots. They had to do as they pleased, and the rieh't wascfreely grouted. It was ono of their firet principles that every man should have the right to wor- ship Gocl as he pleased. There was nothing in the order to load a man one way or anoth- er, but the principle was inculcated that every man should be a loyal s ibjnet and vote as he thought best in the interests of the Country. Beyond that there was no politics in the Orange Order. thorn was, however lesson they had to learn. The fouud a Y Y o- P liticai parties milting with cleaicalists and forming assoolations offensive and defensive, and those parties than found it to their in- teiest to abuse Orangemon told said Orange - mon were opposed to thein, and that for that reason they were opposed to Orahgemen. The lesson they had to learn was not to lose their identity a8 Orangemen in any political association, nor to bo led astray by any false issues or doctrine#.

ORNING, JULY 14th,1887, stole til country. It was not quite that, howover4 brit the red men gave a part of it to; the white men, and the white men took the rest. Thegreatness of tlio English people, ue went-ou, was due to, the Protestant 13ihle auto Vie, ' ``:ty that was given every sub- ject ahim,provided that to � pleased e 'cot ( � 1 \P, ,4i P. what he`did, was right. He waited to let them into a floret of the Orange Order. When they -saw it man walking uprightly and honestlyiaud void of offence to God or man they might know that. that man was an Orangeman. Fits opinion was that there was a great deal of politics in the order, be- cause every member ought. to vote for .those candidates that would do the;country the most. good. The lodges are full of such polities, and he trusted always would be full cf it. (Cheers and ,laughter.) He represen- ted the ludian race: and was glad he was an Indian, Ent ,did not know that there was anything for which he was more thankful to the Great. Spirit than that He had sent him into thisWorld an Indian instead of a white man or. Corse than a white man. When people t •ought tbomselyes better than all creation •;That was all a mistime, due to their ignOtauoe of Indians. He would give them a few reasons why they thoutztet them- selves better than white mon. In the first plane, Indians were always total abstainers till white men Dame among them. None of the Indians got drunk till the white men came, aud if the white man bad not come the Indians clever would of got drunk. One of the principles of the Orange institution was temperance. In late years it was notice- able that Orangemen went home after the celebration, as sober as they were at' the be ginning of the day, and he trusted that white people would get more civilized and world get more like Indians, till it would be as rare to see a drunken man wearing Orange colors on the Twelfth as to nee a thief wear- ing colors. He had another reasons In English there was a little word commencing with "d" and ending with "n." They !knew what he meant, they could not curse and sweat in the Indian language. To nurse and swear` one must learn English. When a certain bill was being put through the House of Commons a little while ago they heard a good deal about the Indians. They heard extraordinary opinions. They heard some able man, representatives of intelligent men, some of them representatives of the white men of that section -and he was sure there could not be any more intelligent men in the Dominion thau those of Heron -saying' ,10 the House of Commons some curious things of Indians. One learned and honorable gentleman said that 'adieus knew no more about polities than a jackass knew about navigation. In process of time the hill passed intent*, aud gave the Indians votes they ought to have had cue hundred years ago. What was the result? In one short year the eleotione came ou, and those same men then told the Indians what grand and noble men they were, and that they always kne.ty it. If the Franchise had not done any thing'inore for the Indians it and done this -it had converted those people to the true view of Indians, that they were a noble people, an intelligeut people. That this was true was shown by the fact that when they tor its if were osme exercise the F aunt i o lea Conservatives and half were Grits. Loyalty was another foundation principle of the Orange iustitntion. Some journals sneered at the Orange institution and its professions of loyalty, but when volunteers were called upon to detend tllo homes of their wives and children Orangemen came to the front. No one felt like sneering then at the luyalty of Orangemen. Orangemen were loyal to the Queen and loyal to the Empire, because they believed that civil and religious liberty would be carried to the four corners of the globe by Britain, with Orangemen carrying the British flag. He trusted the time will be far distant when Orangemen will be less loyal than they are now, especially when we have such a gond and noble sovereign as Queen Victoria on the throne of Great Britain. He trusted that in t'me white people will become as enlightened as his people becaii a just now it was only Orange- men who were up to them that they will be loyal to the Queen and fear God and do good in all things. (Cheers.) Major B:. A. L, White, of St, Marys, Past Grand baster of Ontario West, the next speak er,began bystating ti that h was quite urea• pct gdly caled on to address etgathering. He nod much pleasure in listening to the ad• dress of his red brother, the doctor, who, by his own state'nent, had much the advantage of us, e,t least itt Orangeiscn, tor, according to his claims.he was born that way while we ba 1 to be made. While expressing his own pleas- ure at being present, he could not but regi -et the absence of the Id W Grand Master. They were oelobrating that day one of the grandest events in all history, the 1091h anniversary of that battle which had seoured for ns civil and religious liberty. Had the cause of James tri- umphed on that day iha pall of Popery would have settle j,upon the world and the civilization and freedomlwe are enjoying in America to -day would not ha ve been ours. It was often aaiu that Orimeeism may have been necessary in the Old world, may be necessary even yet, but that there was no need of bringing it and its fences here. But the knew what the Church of Ronne has done and the power it is now ex- orcising in this province.

This a s us question for evory man and woman. They must now say to the inen iu power th ,t this in- vasion must stop. They must say iu this pro- /Vince, at least ,civil andreligious libet'ty must prevail. The cardinal principle of the Orange `Order as we have just been told, was freedom Ito all. The battle cd. tle Bayne did net bring freedom to Protestants alone ;. it si ruck off tin: shackles from roman Uatholics es wen, and to day iu all parts of the Empire, except in the Province of Quebec, they enjoyed a liberty won in that battle. But tbry wore bound that 110 other body should enjoy privileges watch they had not, and that ',tobody should set foot ou our necks.
