..... Near-e greatly disappointed in Dr Mc- Connell; Although difiering in politics, we wished to i001: upon the Doctor as a man who would endeavor to do the ‘fair and square thing as often as he couldâ€" at any rateâ€"if not on every occasion. ltut his recent actions in connection with the meetings held in this village on Tuesday last, to discuss the Pacific Rail- Way Contract, show him to he ' greatly lacking in those finer feelings and sensi- bilities which prevem men from being so deeply influenced byparty prejudices and bigotry as to openly, willfully and knowingly take part in anything unfair, unmanly and dishonorable. We are assured upou good and reliable authorâ€" ity that Doctor McConnell gave permis- sion to use his name in calllng a meetâ€" ing at the Grand Central Hall. After the bills had been posted for this purpose some of the Doctor’s friends seemed: to have persuaded him that he was not acting right, and the‘ result was the Doctor called another meeting in the Lorne Hall, at the same hour, on the same day as the previous one, The Doctor also wrote a letter to the opposiâ€" tion paper, published in this village, wherein he denied that he had got the bills printed for the Grand Central meet- ing, or had given any one authority to do so,but he did not deny that he had given authority to use his name in calling the meeting. The letter was deceptive. It was calculated to lead the readers to believe that some one had used the Doc tor’s name without his knowledge or con- sent, and that he Was somewhat abused and insulted tuereby. but. it did not plainly state this. Therefore the letter was not a manly one. The principal reasons given for the second meeting being called so suddenly appears to be that the first bills were printed at the It ERALD Officeand the Doctor’s friends in this village objected to thisâ€"thought they should be printed at the Opposition olfice, also that his friends were afraid to meet the speakers expected on behalf of the Government. ; The speakers and audience at the, Grand CentralHall adjourned to face the antiâ€"Syndicates in the Lorne Hall, where they thoroughly touted the Docâ€" tor’s friends, as will be seen by a report in another column. When the vote on the resolution was taken, it was clearly shown that the meeting was two to one in favor of the Syndicate, but the Doc- tor, as chairman, decided that the vote was against the Syndicate. This does not look honorable on his part, to say the least. We would like to hear his excuse for such conduct. Many of his friends say that he acted wrong, and public opinion is decidedly strongly against him, in' this matter. Those friends who advised him to pursue the course he did, have also been covered with confusion by the overwhelming de- feat they sustained at the meetinrr. It would be much better for the Dootorto come out manfully, acknowledge his error, and give his reason for his strange actions. The public would then know how much blame should be attached to others, and whether he was misled him- self, to any extent, by his oiliciuus friends. I It is certainly nice language to be applied to men like Messrs J. Brown, J Elliott, S Proctor, D Hopkins, W Long, T Palmer; J Arnold, F McConaghy, W Powell. sr, Joseph Powell, J Switzer, W Poguc, J McCaguc and many others “of the leading ratepayers in this village and neighborhood Amongst these. are 'men who have resided here for twenty years and more, with unblemished re- putations, who are eminently respected, and whose opinions are considered of weight and influence on public questions and yet this Editor, this man of, yester- day, with the reputation he possesses, with the character of snivelling, canting hypocrisy which, to all appearances, has become second nature to him, dares to call such men roughs and rowdies. Pro- bably however, the man is weak-minded; if so, his friends should look after him, and not allow him to attempt to insult men who are as far above him in every degree of respectability as daylight is different from dark. The Editor of the Opposition paper I'disgraced the profession he has crawled into, on Friday night at the Syndicate meeting. When he clearly saw that the vote was against his ideas, he shouted ‘out something to the effect that the voters were roughs or rowdies. This is nice language to come from a man who is always in favor of “elevating the lone vfpublic discussion,” you know ; and keeping up the good morals of the com- munity in general. mum HILL POST UPPER m. 32: It is not a brake down of the Reform party that is meant, but a complete afid ridiculous collapse of the would-be local leaders in this village and neighborhood.

Jum' considered that it would be far preferable for the Government to build , the road itself, if built at all, But why I should the road be built at once? Why should the faith be kept to the minute with iBritish Columbia. which had not kept faith iwith us in the matter of the fifteen millions of good land promised by that province in aid ofthe railway. The road should be , built in sections. built so as to keep abreast iofthe wants of the country. and in the ! meantime Mr. Blake’s scheme would meet 'all requirements. If the road was to cost one hundred millions and to absorb eight ; millions more annually, then let it. not be ,huilt, for it would swallow up the money i which properly should be left afloat to sup- 5port. and benetit the workingmen of the lcountry. The road, built under the syndic- iate conditions would be a. monopoly, and iwould be a monopoly for ever, with its exemptions from taxations and numberless t privileges. "M r. Edward Meek, of Toronto, followed He pointed out the necessity of considering the question from a national and not from a party point of view and after disposing of some of the proposrtions of the prevrous (\pposition speakers went on to dissect Mr. Blake’s proceedings. Mr. Blake was a very good man to tear a proposition to pieces. There was no one more effective than he at that sort of work. But he had put forward no alternative of his own; he could destroy, but he could not replace. Hi: old leader, M r. Mackenzie, had been a ‘diii'ereut sort of titan, {or he was at all _events atrue Canadian. But Mr. Blake E was not imbued with the true spirit of patriotism, entering public life as he had done subsequent to Confederation . He did not understand that Canada was a great , country. It had never occurred to him , that we were a. people and not a depend- ency. "Let the portion ofthe line passing i north of Lake Superior go,” he said in cf. ,fect. " and with it British Columbia,” was the practical corollary. Was there a man before him that night who would say tbet same thing? Who was willing to see; British Columbia break away from us? I Not one. But Mr. Blake was. Mr. Blake’s theory was that the United States I lines should be utilized, that all traffic} should bethrough American territory, that! so a. sympathy should grow up with the States, and Canadian people naturally take to them, Ultlll flnally the sections ofthe Dominion drifted apart altogether. The ‘ tt‘ue patriot was he who asked for the building ofa Canadian road. lt was not; “ utter madness ” to undertake that road. In the construction of such a road it was1 not the numbers of a people that were to be looked to, but their resourcesâ€"not the “ four millions, " but the vast heritage We . had been given a couutry from which we could carve out a great nation. The moâ€", meat the road was built, the value ofthe i millions of acres in the illimitahle west; would be doubled and trebled. and with the returns from the sales of these lands the ,1 treasury of the Dominion would be filled to overflowing and the people enriched. I It would pav us to build the road â€"- to ' build it as quickly as possibleâ€"and to ' build it. on Canadian soil. (Cheers) l Mr. Phipps summed up the discussion. ! Mr. hlctuh, seconded by Mr. Lrtngstufi‘ (Applause) The Spotlliet then went on to refute the hackneyed objections made by Mr. Phipps with the eXposition of the true meaninrr of the ameement. He pointed out thnt the alleged freedom of the syndic- ate to select the land where they pleased was, in reality, freedom to select fair average land wherever the Governorâ€"Gener- an-Council allow-d them to t'ake'it. Mn. LIVIXGSTONE. of Toronto. followed with a vigorous and ef- fective speech from the same point of view, impresstng particularly upon the meeting the danger attendant, upon the execution of such vast enterprises by governments even of the most; upright and honourable character. It was far better and far Safer for a private company to do such work Lookiné,r into the syndicate agreement conscientiously and carefully, he believed that it was a good thing for the country and that the country should uphold it (Applause) A Reform' Break Down at ' Richmond Hill. The Government Policy Enu- dorsed. The Pacific .Contracc. Mr Phipps dilated upon the danger to the country likely to result upon the consummation of theSyndicateagrcement He admitted that the road should be built, but said that the policy of the Opposition wasvto complete it gradually, and in proportion to the advance of the Dominion in financial prosperity. He referred to the railway land monopolies in the Nate, and the likelihood of something of the some sort in, the North West. The prtvileges and advantages to be granted to the syndicate were of such a character that rebellions seemed likely 1n future to arise, not against kings and emperors, but against railway corporations. The completed road built by the present syndicate, and connected with the roads already controlled by the members of the svndicate, would divert all the trade of the NorthJVest to Mont- real, and would leave Ontario out in the'cold ; whereas; by continuing for a time to use the Thunder Bay route and the connecting railways, Ontario would have a fair show. He would warn them in anv event that the building of the complete road by the syndicate, with its attendant monopoly and grinding in- fluences, would so dissatist'y the mixed people of the North-West that the result would be secession to the United States and the breaking up of the Dominion. MR LIKE said both the great pnrties of the countty hnd 1rret1ievably committed them- selves to the building of an all-mil ioule across the continent, on Canadian soil. It was surely undeniable that the syndicate bargain was the best ever nroposerl, and the country. he hoped and believed, would heartily endorse "the Government’s action.
