The gentlemen who were prominent in inaugerating and support- ing that paper announced that it would be carried on and edited in a sphere gregtjy above that of other sheets,â€" that‘Tt would uphold the dignity of belles Zettres, and endeavor to elevate the stand- ard of the profession. That it has signally failed in achieving any of the laudable careers, may be seen on perusal of any issue yet published. Like many 1 other professions made by gentlemen in political circles connectedwith the same ‘ party, they have been broken in every possible manner. A number of Reform» ers, (not hotâ€"headed, unreasonable bigoted men,but those who are really desirous of Working for the country’s benefit,und who are convinced that their party advocate the better measures,) have informed us that they do not conâ€" ‘sider that paper as their organ,that they were astonished and disgusted at many articles which appeared therein in oppoâ€" sition to Mr \Vallace last summer; They admit that great injury was done to Mr Blain, through the abuse heaped upon his opponent by that sheet. It would be bad enough if only the person who invents and publishes such slanders , sustained the evil efl‘eets arising there- from; but the injury is not confined to the writer, it also descends upon those Who he ignorantly endeavors to assist. A malicious and barefaced misrepreâ€" sentation never yet accomplished any lasting or permanent good to the authors or those in behalf of Whom it is circu - lated, but when our contemporary learns th1s truth, and acts thereon his paper will necessarily be devoid of any political articles. - It appears that our friend is not satis- fied with the abuse he vented upon the Member for the Dominion, but must also repeat the dose on Mr Tyrrell. Surely MrPatterson’s friends or assistants do not need to resort to such untrue statements. His cause cannot be so weak, so utterly with out foundation, that it muste bol- stered up by personal abuse of his opâ€" ponent. Mr Tyrrell does not use such reprehensible weapons;â€"â€"-he has always endeavored to conduct the campaign on a better and more manly platfbrm. The issue between these two gentlemen is the Ontario finances and legislation, and there is no apparent reason why both sides cannot find therein a suflicient field for argument and discussion. At the meeting on Friday evening~ Mr Tyrrell took occasion to refer to a few of the many wild and untrue asserâ€" tions made by our contemporary, and we feel assured,if the gentleman referred to was within the sound of the speaker’s voice he must have experienced a feeling of shame and humiliation. Ifhe did not, he is deserving of deep pity and commisseration. We do not expect there will be any marked improvement in this respect observable in our contem- porary, but we can at least have the satâ€" isfaction of knowing that we pointed out the error of his way, and advised him to return to the straight course. THURSDAY. MAY 1, 1879 THE HERALD. l\1r.M urphy of Newmarket having been brought out to contest North York against Dr. Widdificld, by the more Liberal men and the Conservatives, his opponents are trying to make capital against him; and be-little his chance of success, because he is a prominent and and staunch member of' the RomanCath- olie Church. It is a great pity that the more extreme of our Reform friends cannot restrain their feelings during the excitement of election contests. They not‘only injure their own party, but degrade themselves individually, in the e yes of all honorable, iair-mlnded men, by resorting to such-dishonorable tactics MrMurphyneed not fear to encounter the most malignant efforts in that direction. It is a good sign for the person attacked when his enemies stoop to such nefarious practices. It shows that his character is unimpeachable,that he is an honorable and popular man,and that his opponents having no other means left to fight against him are compelled to use the only weapons they can secure. The Grits And Mr Murphy Only One Dollar a Year We insert Mr Boultbee’s remarksin the debate on Mr. Keeler’s Bill to do away with the Supreme Court, as wel believe the feeling is strong in the country on this subject, as indicated by our representative. One of the worst grieveiriées we now have is, that if a man brings an action for say the value of 3400, he may first go to the Queen’s Bench, then be carried to the Court of Appeal, and then to the Supreme Court. ‘This is an intolerable grievance, and ‘ we believe the whole country is in acâ€" cord with the views expressed by our representative. “Mr. Boultbee said that after all be supposed the representatives of the people were here to give expression to the views of their constituents on public questions, rather than to extend their protection to institutions with which the people were dissatisfied, The Leader of the Opposition had said that the Government. would have to answer to the people for giving thls vote. \Vell, they would easily be able to;' answer for that, but they would not be able to answer so readily were they to lend their aid in crushing this measure without discussion. \Vhether rightlyfi or wrongly astrong feeling existed in’ Ontario, that this Court is a heavy and l useless burden, and in» his Opinion any constitutional question Which this Court was supposed especially to deal with might be disposed of with equal satisâ€"x faction in a less expensive manner before ; a difierently constituted forum. Furâ€" ther than this, the people of Ontario also thought that it would be a good thing to do away with the Court of! Appeal for Ontario also, our litigation at present being far too tedious and costly. The convictions being, that in our young and poor country, and our litigation only involving small sums, we should get snfiicient before a Judge at Assize, whose decision if necessary, ‘could be reviewed by the full Court. He did not say that he should vote now to abolish the Court,but he did say,that ‘the House has a perfect right to dis-â€" ‘cuss the expediency of so doing; at same time, the people might specially instruct'their representatives to abolish this Court,and contemplating that; conâ€" tingency, there is no disrespect to the Court in discussing this question at present. He had heard little that was derogatory to the Court said in the debate, except in the illâ€"timed remarks of the Hon. Member for Shefiord. He it was who first started the idea on the present occasion, thata Court estabâ€" lished by one party was to be attacked by the other. No such feeling existed‘ in this House No such feeling had been hinted at except by the Member for Shetford, and it would be a shameâ€"â€" ful thingif any such feeling did exist. Donbtless, the Hon. member for Shef- t'ord destred to stand well with the courts, hence his excess of zeal. Memâ€" bers supporting the Government merely voted with their leaders aflirming the princip'e that courtesy demanded, that the Hon Memberintroducing it should be allowed to carry it to a. second readâ€" ing ; but a large number of the Opposiâ€" tion members in spite of the appeals of their leaders, and not actuated by the feeling of courtesy, of their opponents broke away from their ties of party alâ€" legiance, and virtuously voted for the , abolition of the Court.

LOCAL NEWS. (From our own Con'espondent) MILLIKEN opening The Campaign ! Able Speeches by the Conservatives. Reform Speakers AFRAID TO FACE HE MUSIC. According to {previous announcement the public meeting in the interest; of the three Conservative candldates 'of' York County was held on Friday, evening, in the Masonic Hall, Richmond Hill, -.nd was largely attended, >th‘e hall being crowded to- its [gr‘eatest capacity. Among those present we noticed many of the most. prominent residents of the different Ridings. The Richmond Hill Brass Band, un- der the able leadership of Mr Mortimer, of Markham, met the gentlemen from Toronto as they entered the village, and escorted them to the Hall. " Every memâ€" ber of the band had torches in their caps, which added greatly to their fine apâ€" pearance, and presented abrilliant effect. As the procession passed along the street, it . was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the large crowd which had assembled. Shortly after arrivmg at the hall, on motion of John Duncan, Esq. the chair was taken by Robert Marsh, Esq., who, it is needless to observe, performed the duties of that position satisfactorily. He was supported on the plaf'orm by Messrs Robinson and Tyrreli, Conserva- tive CandiJ‘at-es forEast and West York; Hon Alex Morris, M. RP, exâ€"Lieut.â€" Governor, of Manitoba, Mr Meredith. Leader of the Ontario Opposition, and Mr Scott, M P P. Large Meeting at Richmond Hm Previous to the opening of the meet-l ting,Mr,Badger0w,Ref0rm candidate for the East Riding,ascended the platform and enquired what arrangement had been made as to the time allowed him- self and friends to address those present. To this question the chairman replied that one hour and twenty minutes had been allotted to the candidates in the Conservative interest to Speak,and that a corresponding space of time would be given to the Reform candidates. This proposal did not meet with the approval of that. gentleman. who,after repeating that oftentimes hollow cry about“British fair play,” ieft the hall. It Was quite apparent to all present that the proposed arrangement was'ust and fair,and that MrBadgerow,who had appeared extreme ly ill at ease,was desirious of reaching the open air on the smallest'possible pre- text that would ofle: itself. Although a special invitation had been extended to the Reform candidates to be present, Mr.Badgerow was the only one who put in an appearance;and as he left the hall unattended by even one admirer,it is safe to say he' could have had the time . of the two absent candidates wherein to 1 reply to his opponent’s reply. MLWm Tyrrell was the first speaker call- ed on, He deeply regretted the absence of Mr.Patterson,the present representative of West York.as he Was drsitious iof having an opportunity of stating matters to his face‘which he would not deem it honour- able to do in his absence. He had tried several times to‘meet Mr. P.0n the public vplatformhut for some canse'or other his ‘opponent had declined the prooosnls. The ’speaker referred to a paragraph which had appeared in a local newspaper, charging him (Mr.T.) with reckless expenditure while in the township Council. This he denied and showed that instead of havmg overdrawn their account in the hankthe township had a surplus on hand. 'He point-v ed to his 27 years service in the ttmnship and 25 in the county Council as proof that those who senthim there had the utmost confidence in his mode of managing their affairs. Mr Patterson,as well as Mr.M0wat he remarked, had taken a great denlof credit to themstelves for 'the settlement of the Municipal Loan Fund questions. Mr. Tyrrell then explained at some length the action taken by him.and the force brought to bear on the Pt'eniierihefore the bill was amended, so as to allow the townships to expend the amounts received from this fund in the manner they deemed to the best interests of the Section receiving it. The charge made by t‘hetMowut Adminis- tration in the mode oftevising the Voters List,was adverted to. Itvwas the means of heaping uncalled for expe’ttse on the differ- ent municipalities. As an example of the increased cost in this"rr.atter, the speaker cited the case of his own townshipgrhere it formerly cost $20 to perform the work of revisidn;while last year over $1,000 was expended in doing the same, work. The former method had given the utmost satis- t‘actiomand as no one had asked for a change he could only account for the proceeding in one wayâ€"that under the present system of revision the Mownt Government might possibly make a couple of votes by the operation. He stated that the present jury law was too expensive, and would be in favor of reducing the number of Grand Jurors from twelve to seven. The Asses- ment. and several other laws relating to municipal matters were touched upon,the speaker pointing out desirable changes that should be made. A number of MrtPatter- sons’s vot’es,on division, were produced to show that instead of advocating the inter- ests of his contiluents.he was doing them an injury. In conclusion.he referred to the salary grab,and- the increased cost of government,uuder the Mowat regime. For the increased indemnity to members,the pre- sent Government he said, were vwhollv re- sponsible.or they,bein,r_r in a large majority would have adopted Mr. Pnrkhtll’s :tménd- meut.asking that the salaries be reduced. to which amendment Mr.Putterson had re- corded‘adissentent vote. Mr Robinson, on coming forward, was received with applause. He felt convinced that Mr Badgerow, had he waited, would have ample time to reply to any remarks that might fall from him during his twenty minutes speech. From one end of the Province to the other the greatest dissatisâ€" faction was expressedrnt the extravagance of the Mowat Government; unnecessary increase in every department had taken place since their accession to power, and would so continue unless the people would rise in their might and- return, on the 5th of June, a similar verdict to that rendered on the 17th of September last. The time her limits and crown lands. 'yone‘ of the principal revenues of the Country, were being squandered right and left. Educaâ€" tion, he said, cost more than in the time of the late John Sandfield Mucdonald. The increase in the number of pupils did not call for so large an outlayY but. the matter was explained when it. became known that a large porportion of the money v paid out under the head of educationdl'purposes was for departmental expenses. He conâ€" aided. that the present Government'th (The chaixman read a telegram from Mr.E. Murphy,(‘onservative candidate for Nerlh York,regretling his inability to be present.) acted unwisely in increasing the salaries of officials, especially during the existing de- presiion in all branches of trade. In speaking of the salary grab. he stated that $450 per session was a sufficient remunera- lion for members of the Legislature, and, if elected, would favor a reduction to that iflgure. The expenditure of so large a sum as was paid out last year for the bring- ing of emigrants into the country he characterized as scandalous. When it was considered that hundreds of those who ‘had years ago, made their homes here were unable to procure employment, the folly of the expenditure was quite apparent. In conclusion he stated that if elected, he would do his utmost to reduce the present excessive outlay of the people’s' money. When a member of the County Council he had gone among his constituents to ascer- tain their views on impending questions, and should he receive the confidence of the electors of East York on the 5th of June, he would pursue the same course. (Cheers. a, . 7., wwâ€"qâ€"i i-râ€"osu-ttuiroxuv.-â€"Vwe-â€"uwn lm"i"lé9’.nmIQCD'1EFD‘EAU‘QCDICD‘Qmuu-w Mr Meredith theti came forward and was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. J 1] After expressing the gratification it affoided ll him to appear before the electors of the County of York. he said he regretted that Mr. Badgerow, one of the gentlemen who was seeking their suffrages in one of the Ridings had not thought it prudent, or had not felt it to be is duty. to appear before them and give his views on the political issues of the day. Mr Badgerow wruld have received from the conductors of the meeting,aud from that intelligent audience. the fairest play in the world. for it had always been the policy of the Liberal Con- servative party at. all times to give their 3 Opponents fair play. (Cheers. It was cer- tainly extraordinary that Mr Badgerow. should have refused to take a seat on the platform that evening, when they were about to discuss a most important matter-â€" the performance of one of the highest duties which pertained to a free people, viz, the selection of persons who for the next four years were to take charge of the gov- ernment of the affairs of this large and wealthy Province. It was, therefore, de- sirable that on occasions like this there should be the freest discussion, so that the public might hear what would be said on both sides and so be placed in a position to judge of the relative merits ofthe different issues submitted to them. The administra- fore the people, and upon the 5th ofJune next the electors would decide whether that Government weie entitled to confidence or not,and upon their record it would be forthe people to pass judgment. In order to ascertain how far the administrations of Mr Mowat and his immediate predecessor, Mr Blake, had been true to the principles professed by them. it would be necessary'to compare their conduct during their term of office with the conduct of the G0vei'nment they had ousted t'iom office. No fair- minded person in the community would ob: ject if he thought his administration had tion of Mr Mowat were upon their trial b0" been hon eat and capable, to have its record compared this way. What was the condi- tion in which Mr Sandfield Macdonald left the affairs of this Province. 'At the it.- ception of Confederation, Mr Sandfield Macdonaid was in the position of having been a live-long Reformer and of having battled for the rights’of the people and for , responsible Government in the days when it was something to do that, and when it was more risky and difficult for a man to stand up for popular rights than it is now. Mr Sandfield Macdonald was none ol these latter-daylteformers who have net'er scented the smoke of battle, but who claim the name of Reformer-s without understanding the pl‘iltClplPS of reform. Mr Sandfield Macdoiiald fill that under the new era of things established by Confederation. the time had come when the bitter feelings of the old partiesshould pass away, and that ‘ it would be in the interests of the country if he called to his councils. in forming a Government, men who would be actuated L by a desire to serve the country faithf'ully,tio matter whether Reformers or Conservatives. and remained in power for four years. He would passto the record of Mr Saudfield Macdonald as the best proof of the wisdom of his policy. With the eye of a far-seeing statesman. be perceived in the moment of theinitiation of Confederation that it was necessary to the very existence of Confed- eration that there should be the strictest economy in the administration of public affairs, and unless this was observed the institution might be destroyed. Anyone who was acquainted with the history of past vents, and who would read the public records of the Province would see that _ he kept this in view throuzhout the whole of his career, and administered the affairs ofthe Province with economy. It was said his policy was a cheese-paring one, and not in the public interests. He, Mr Meredith, utterly denied the charge. While Mr Sandfield was careful of the money of the people. and would not have it squandered in extravagant official salaries or in any other wav,he was fully alive to the interests oftliis great and growing Province. and it was his mind. and the minds of those asâ€" into force all those great schemes which have gone on, and for which those who traduced him and drove him into his grave now take credit. Who was it but Sand- field Macdonald thatinitated the railway aid system, for which the present Adminis» tration claim credit. He foresaw that by placing a million anda balfin railways theie would be given a great impetus to Provin- cial trade and progress. and the result has shown that in this he was a furâ€"seeing statesman. rl'he Reformers pointed with pride to the public institutions scattered throughout the land, such as the lunatic asylums. agricultural college,central prison; but what brought these into existence. It was th:= scheme of Mr Saudfield Macdonaid. and to him and his Government the credit was due. Cheers After four years of office, after he had faithfully and econo- mically administered the affairs of the Pro~ vince, and had accumulated a cash surplus, represented by investments in bonds, &c.. of nearly four millions. after he had established most of the public institutions, and announced his policy in regard to the railway distribution, an appeal was made to the people, and owing to false issues being presented. he was not supported by the same majority in Parliament he had pre- vious to the elections. He was, however, supported by a majority of the people’s representatives. What did Mr Blake and the Opposition then do. At a time when certain seats were unrepresented, these men who clamoured recently for a longer dura- tion of Parliament because one member was absent, these men defeated the Gove- ment and put them out by a majority of one of what remained of the House. He, Mr Meredith, contended that Mr Sandfield Macdonald had not been defeated by a majoritv of the people’s representatives, andrthe means by which he was driven out of power, did not. redound to the credit of the Reform party. Cheers. One of the principal cries raised by the Reform party was against an alliance: between the Do- minion and Ontario Governments.
