Most people thought Dr. ever he pleases. Such tyrannical acts Widdifield would not. stoop to such conâ€" are more suited to the Middle ages than temptible conduct ; but it appears those the nineteenth century. iwho thought so did not know him He The Dominion Gavernment refused to has been in the House for some years, sanction such a disgracefulact, and Mr and has never made any mark. Being Any reasonable man, Grit or Conserâ€" Vntive, must admit that there was no justice in this ; they must admit that Mr Caldwell had no right to act. in such a selfihh. high-handed manner. But; Mr CaldWell persisted in his course. and as Mr McLareu naturally objected to be mined. he appealed to the Courts for protection. The Court of Chancery issued an injunction ordering Mr Cald» wcll not to usurp the property of Mr McLaren. The Mississippi is one of these streams. Mr McLaren. instead of haul- ing his logs for miles by land. expended between 8150 000 to $200,000 in exon- Vuting the bed of the stream, building slides and shoots for the timber to float down. and in other Wuys Mr Melluren allowad all lumbermen to make use of Ins improvements, and save the trouble of hauling their logs for miles on land, when he did not. need the stream for his own logs. This state of affairs went on for some time until Mr Caldwell bought some timber land up the river, and began flouting down an enormous stock of logs, making use of the improvements and filling the stream to such an extent that Mr McLaren was shut out from floating down his logs at all. The Conservatives must recognize that “now's the day. and now’s the hour," to turn the Ontario Grits from power. Vigorous and systematic work from the present time up to the evening of the 27th, will give them control of the Province, but it is only by careful and pernevering effort that victory can be accomplished. A few more days and you may be too late. Whatever should be done. do it now. Do not trust to any friend to see a doubtful vote, that you believe can be secured. See him yourself. Remember, the Conservative platform is :â€" Confederation must be maintained l Ontario‘s rights by lawful and consti- tutional means. i No confiscation oi" private property l No centralization 1 No encroachment on municipal rights 1 No politics in administering the li- cense law 1 ‘ Extension of the franchise l l A non-purtizan education departmentl 3 Justice to the free-grant settlers l Parliamentary control of Ontario's timber lands 1 ' No. 38: Whole No. 1286 : Volume 25. Economy in all branches of the public larvice l When this question is understood, the l only feelings are of astonishment and in dignation that Mr Mowat could have the boldness and duplicityv to rob a political l opponent, at the order of one of his sup- porters, and then try to make the people believe that he wus only actuated by the1 wish to benefit the Province of Untariv.i The whole matter can be clearly and Concisely expiained in a very few words. Mr McLaren, an extensive lumber deal- er. bought large timber limits from the Government and other parties, along the Mississippi stream. in the Ottawa lumberâ€" ing district. In many places this Ittrenm Was unnaviguble, lor miles, and no log could be floated down it. as there were enormous waterfalls, and in one place the titer iFunneured nlto ether The law 3i Ettgqatid, and m Unfit-ad», states that any stream uselul for the purpose ofcom merce. as far as it is useful. is a public highway,~ such its the St Lawrence and others. Streams which pass through private property. the owners of which have erected tnills on the banks, are public as far as it is necessary to use them for the purpose of floating logs and boats. But- streame which cannot be used for commercial purposes, owing to impediments in their course, are not public property, but belong solely to the owner. The Streams Bill 0011018er Stated.

Mr Rain is a member of one of the best legal firms in the city of Toron- to, of long standing. Vice-Chancellor Ferguson, before he was appointed to the position he now occupies, was head of the firm. \Ve have no desire to con- trast the two candidates for the East Riding; we have no wish to enter into personalities. All we have to say is that the temperance cause will gain nothing by the election of Mr Badeerow On the contrary. Mr Bain is thoroughly abstemious. No man can say taught against him, either socially or otherwise. He is a man of" wood judgment and. deâ€" serves the support of the electors of the East Riding of York. The Liberal Conservative Candidates for the Local House, at this election, contain amongst their number many of the ablest men in the Province. If Mr. ‘Meredith is returned with n suflicient "number of supporters to osrry on the {Government, he will have no difficulty 'in forming a Cabinet out of the material now before the country to select from. In this contest the Conservatives have 'everything to feel proud of,â€"thcir lead:1 ers, their principles, and their record: They are really contending for Ontario's rightsI and are the champions of several desirable reforms. l Do the electors of West. York approve of' Mr Mownt. surrounding himself by a ring of plucemen to control the electors. and secure him a perpetual lease of power ? Do they think it, right, that. he should appoint. license commissioners, divismn court clerks, bailiifs, and all the Other officials who can he bought by their places to vote for him, and probablv luring in one or two friends with them ? Do they believe it is an economical Gov- ernment. which has doubled our expendi- tule in eleven vents when our population has not incteased in anything like the proportion ? IVFthey do not, remember and vote for Major Gray on Tuesday next. Mr C. C. Robinson is the Conserva- tive nominee in North York. He 1m just the pluck and dash to go in and win, to the chagrin and astonishment of his oppOuents. Mr Robinson is perseâ€" vcring, painstaking and clever. If he succeeds in changing the Doctor's major- ity, to one for himself, as we hope he will, he will certainly deserve no small credit for the undertaking. WhateVer is to be done, must be ac- complished within the next few dnvs. The electors of East and West. York have able men in the Conservative Can.- didates, men who will not prove mere voting machines, but useful. active reâ€" presentatives. Mr. Bain and Major Gray should be returned with good majorities, and from the reports of those who are well acquainted with public feelings in the ridings. we have no doubt that if every man turns out. on the 27th, they will be the M. P P.’s for the Yorke, for some years to come. It sounds strange to hear of Gordon Brown suing the Globe. but such is really the case. He claims that. he was wrongâ€" fully dismisacd from his posniou, and has entered an action against the Com-â€" pany for $5000 damages. The Conservatives of‘ West Toronto have nominated Ald. H. E Clarke. This is one of the numerous instances through- out the country. where the ablest and most successful business men are on the Conservativn side. In Mr Clarke the party has a man who will be an honor. in the House, to the city he represents. Mr Morris has again been nominated tor East Toronto He has been a useful and active member ofthe Opposition and during: the recent session made it unâ€" pleasant for the Ministers on many ocâ€" cnstons by his Keen cnttclsms of their defects, and the masterly manner in which he pointed out the necessity for u change in the administration of affairs. Every friend of Ontario should support the party which protests against cenâ€" trailizarion and encroachment of Muniâ€" cipal Rights ; which pledges itself to remove the License Law out. of the political arena. and to exercise economy in all branches of the Public Service.

' Mr Wallace then spoke briefly, and was fol-owed by Mr Thomas While. in a speech extendirpr somewhat over an hour. He was greeted with grant cheering, and immediate- ly proceeded to discuss the Government’s financial position. The Ontario Govern-- ment’s financial record had been compared with that of Quebec. The speaker showed how unfavorable to Ontario such a compar ison was. l'uring the years thatthe annt Administration had been in power' from 1871 to l882. the cost for civil government bud increased 52 per cent., while in Quebec the increase was only 38 per cent. During the same period Ontario’s cost of legislation had increased 90 per cent.. while Quebec’s increase was only 56 per cent , and so on through all the items of controllable expen- diture it was shown that the comparisonl was most unfavorable to Ontatio. He then1 went into an explanation ol the alleged sur' plus of the Mowut Administration, and showed that it wns reallv $1,750,000 less; than that which they had Inherited fromSnnd-‘ field Macdonald’s Government The speaker next took up the boundary award, andl pointed out the shuffling course of both Mrl Mackenzie and Mr Mowat respecting it; they had really shown no honest intention of abiding by that award. and the present hue and cry wns got up simply to detract, public attention from their scandalous administra- tion ot'the finances and licensing system.l He conttnued in an eloquent appeal for the' support of honest government throth the Conservative candidate. and concluded amtd great cheering, The meeting broke up With (‘hflk‘l's for the candidates, the chair" mun. Mr. White. and the Queen. Mr Badgerow then nadlessed the meeting. He culugised the Govern-ninent's financial record. nnd went into a heated defence of their position nn the boundary award and Streams bill. The meeting gave him an indulgent he: ring. which might have been taken better advantage of. Be “as asked to explain about the COI‘thI‘EWS, and amid the jeers of the melding attempted to justify such a glaring misappropriation of the pub-- llC moneys by declaring that Sandfielcl Mac- denuld’s Government had been guilty of a. like extravagance. Major Gray on coming forward was re- ceived with prolonged cheering. He snid he would not. occupy their attention at great. length because they had on the platform Mr Thomus White, whom they were all anxious to hear, and who was better table than any other gentleman present to enter into a thorough discussion of the important questions to which their attention was in-- v1tcd. (Cheers.) He desired. however, before sitting down to denv a statement which had heen made in that morning's Globe to the effect that he (the speaker) had made an arrangement with Mr Pattemon, the Reform Candidate to hold no public meetings till after nomination day, and that the present meeting wns a violation of that arrangement. No such arrangement had ever been made. and be challenged Mr Putv terson or any of his friends to produce proof that what the Globe had alleged was true. 0n the contrary. he had written Mr Patter- son on the 5th nfthe month to meet him with the object of making an arrangement respecting the holdingr of such meetings, but to this day he had received no reply to that letter. The Globe’s statement was one of the purest of fabrications. If such an arrangement had been made why had Mr Patterson neglected to accept the inviâ€" tation which had been tendered him to at» tend the meeting to-night 7 Why was he not there to substantiate the Globe‘s state- ment 7 He did not come because he knew that what the Globe had stated was untrue. (Cheers) The speaker continued in a dis-- cussion of the license question, and showed by figures that the Government through its policy in this matter had robbed the munic-- inality of York of enough money to erect all the new ruhlic buildings which it was necessary to build, the court-house included He resumed his sent umid loud applause ‘ Mr Imnn followed on behnll‘ol‘the I’wl'orm candidatv, but could not. explain the Globe‘s falsehood. He continued for 15 or 20 min- utes in a rambling and blundering speech regarding the boundary award, the Streams bill, find other matters. He was frequently gnâ€"eted with the derisive laughter of the audience, and so stupidly did he 'put llth foot. in it’ that Mr Budgernw was constrained to make two or three ittrfl'ectual attempts to choke him 03‘. He stated that there was not talent. enou h In the ranks of the ()ppositi‘m to form a Government, and Mr Atmstrong who followed him produced gteut laughter among the audience by askâ€" tng who would suspect Mr Lune of having the Ctitieal acumen to judge so accurately the uhiiittes of such men ns Messrs Merrdith Lauder.

Mr Crosby Spoke hxiefly and Whfl followed by Mr Haiti. who went into an acute and pnwerlul discussion of the award, Streums bill. and other matters.

()ne of our most notorious Grits was heard to say, a few days ego, that It would be no use to vote for a man who would vote down the workingman's rights. They should extend the franâ€" chise to mechanics and others, as well as to farmer’s sons. He was surprised to think that Mowat did not know better, when he spoke so bitter against workingâ€"men in the House, at the late session. He says he know: that John A. could see farther, at half a glance, to work his cards to better advantage then our friend "Oliver" did. The Grit party, in this neighborhood. is complete- ly broken up? It. is to be hoped that they will not have to fall back on "A Minister of'the Gospel” to resuscitate lit, and put. it on fooling ngaln. Such things have taken place in days gone by. It looks very hard indeed. I think that Mr. Patterson, the Grit Candidate l for West York, did a good turn for the ‘ Conservative party when he distributed his election letters around to the intelliâ€" gent farmers in this neighbourhood. They could see his little game at once, and they think it everything but a clever trick to assume that they would at once be trapped by a one-cent yellow letter. A GRIT mama. J Some of the "faithful.’ gathered. a few evenings ago, in a ranche not for from here,where a meet- ing was held to trap the country for Grit votes.

There is that Painter in ’l‘eston. who never voted before, but has a vote now. What is the opinion of this meeting about him ?” This question was settled by Squire D., who said he had often seen him, when he was obliged to take his little hand-saw up in that direction to get it repaired, and he thought him a slippery customer.

Soliciting your vote and influence, I am, Yours Respectfully, Above all I desire to see the Govern. ment of theJ’rovince carried on for the people. and not in the selfish interesbof any Government party or clique. I am In favor of a liberal extension of the franchise, for I. cannot see the justiâ€" fication of givmg the right to vote it» the sons of a particular class in the cum~ munity and withholding 1t from the sons- of other equally intelligent classes. I desire to see a more economical ad- ministration of‘the Provincial finances. I wish to see the powers of the Mimi cipal Councils maintained unimpaired. “MReaervo Fund, $450,005 Idesire that the Liquor Laws be made more effective by taking the authâ€" ority to grant Licenses from a partizana License~Board and placing it in the hands of a nonâ€"political one. I am desirous of seeing the Boundary Award qneation settled at the earliest possible period, and this cannot be done- ifthe Government is permitted to parâ€" sue its present policy. I am in favor of Ontario obtaining all the territory award- ed and any more to which she is entitlâ€" ed. Your Vote and Influence are respectfully requested for WEST YORK John ' Gray Aayour Representative in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. I deprecate ‘thc action of the Provin-v cial Government in thrice carrying through the Legislature the Streams Bill, solely for the purpose of creating and keeping alive ill-feeling between the Dominion and lhe Province. 1 am ad- verse lo the policy of the Government in passing unnecessary retrospective legit lation, and especially when the rights:i and property of the people a]: taker: from them without fair compensation. ELECTORS EAST YORK, In doing so let me say shortly, that I am adverse to any policy injurious to the prosperity and welfare of the Province, and in my opinion, any action that. is calculated to arouse and maintain hos~ tile feelings between the Dominion and the Province cannot but be injurious to- the best interests of both 3 that pros~ pcrity for the Dominion and therefore for the Province can best be attainedi by harmonious action on the part of the two Governments.
