RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Sept. 16,36. To those who have been at all vigilant during the past year, as to the changes which have taken place in public opinion, regarding the po- litical feeling of the country, it must be evident that the power and in- fluence at one time possessed by Sir Iohn A. Macdonald are fast slipping from his grasp. At the last general election the cry of the N. P. was heralded from one side of the Do- minion to the other. To suit the purpose of the government, people in one province were told stories diametrically opposite to those told ing in anothbr. m ‘1";1rties ofall shades )1 politics were anxious to gch this experimental policy a fair trial, and the Conservatives swept the country by a large majority. But the most Huguine oi tliesé are now tree {k :l'fllTlllL that the result has been disappoiniing, and Sir john and his party have been loreedto look about [hem ior a new bait to dangle before [be people. The Electoral Franchise Act was passed, and a more nefarious meas- ure was never placed on the statutes of a ClVlllZL‘Ll country. Revismg Barristers were appointed, and time has already shown us that in :nny cases these ofnccrs have been only too willing to do the bidding of tho governmcnt of the clay which made the almtnntmonts. Indmns, who were wards of the governlnont, were given tho use of the franchise, on the I‘etin‘cwntation that they would, in all prol‘mhility, vote tor those under whose control they were placed. But notwithstanding the passing “f this nninst Act ; notwithstanding tl‘atthe Revising Barristers prepared their lists to the satislactien of their party, another hue and cry had to be raised previous to the recent election in Chambly, 1’. Q., and since in llaldimand County. To all believers in the confederation of our provniees ; to all those who are desirous of going hand in hand with their brothers, no matter what may be their creed, this last must appear wicked indeed. \Ve refer to the cry of Race and Revenge. For months past the Mail, the chief or- gan of the government, has been mounted on the Protestant horse, and llll‘LlIUOSt every number does it tell its readers that Sir John was in- StllllllCUlZdl. in hanging the archâ€"rebel Riel, and therefore is entitled to their votes and confidence. Farm for Saleâ€"C. H. Kerswill. ' hit our city contemporary has misjudged the people, and, no doubt, could it retrace its steps, another line of argument would be followed. To kindle a strife and fan the flames between Protestants and Catholics may satiate the ambition of a journ- alist for the time being, but it never can gain the sympathy of true and pracelul citizens. Mr. Blake has time and again said that whatever his own private Opinions might be iegarding the execution of the un- fortunate leader of the late rebellion, he had no desire, nay, he refused, to construct a political platiorm out (.f' the blood-stained planks ot the Regina scaffold. However, in both the Chambly and Haldimand elect- ions, the Riel question was the prin- cipal one before the people, and the result has been disastrous to the Conservatives. But it must be borne in mind that there are two sides to this Riel question. It the issue were simply this: did the govâ€" ernment do right in vindicating the majesty of the law by carrying out the sentence of death, the answer, from Ontario? at least, would be J)ut this does not satisfy the electors. The true questions are: were the halfbreeds, by cruel and callous neglect, goaded into rebel- lion? and were the government not responsible for the grievances? In both cases the people have answer- ed by their votes that the govern- ment were cruelly guilty. Nothing more promising for the prosperity and welfare of our country has oc- curred for many years, and it is not too much to hope that men are a- wakening to a sense of Justice, and are bound to rise above foolish ap- neals to bigotry of race and creed. @1119 fiihmxi. 1 out; But 15. in: mm)“ aka}: I? is induexl a i'n; ,. ‘ 10 a bottle at your :11". ggiat; mu] yen: .9“! never be without 1%, 15 C‘Iillxfi-‘i ,“ (Eli-[JUL and all In :1 3.1”“ NEW ADVERTISEMENTS THE TA BLES TURNING. u Lamyam x.‘ 1.

Mr. Gibson explained this (lziliculty at length, and stated that when he saw how the matter stood, he, or in his report to them last fall, recommended the Council to go to work under the provisions of the “Ditches and \szter-conrsus Act of '1883,” or thuy would be in for all the costs of making rm outlet for the water. Further that. thv Cuuncil last June had called on him under this Act, and that the road, :,(;c.. were in a fair way to being put right. ~s In crossexamination he admitted, how- evm', that the Council conld have gone to work under the provisions of this Act lust full or earlier this spring, and had the road, (to. . put right sooner, but that by so doing would have made the work myre difficult. In his opinion tho great falls of rain, &c., early this spring had a great deal to do with the state of this roaduvhich was more or less of a marshy nature. These suits occupied a considerable portion of the time of the court, there being a large number of witnesses for either side, and the evidence was very voluminous and numerous cases were cit. ed by the solicitors fur the parties. His Honor seemed to think that the Counpilhad not been negligent in the matter, although. doubtless, the plainâ€" tiffs had suffered considerable damage and inconvenience, and dismissed the units without costs.
