Mr. C. McMahon and family, of Hills- dale, have [xv-"33. hxtu Mrs. J. Vander- b.uwh’s.- came; Three evenings every week can be heard “ The loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind,” when the boys and girls assemble in the schoolyard to play ball and other innocent games. Mr. J. Atkinson, a local preacher from Eigely, occupied the pulpit here .last Sunday and preached an excellent 'lermon. 0n Sufiday a load of our young people went to Nobleton to visit their friends, Mr. \Vm. Breedou and family, formerly of this place. 'In the law suit last Saturday between Mr. A. McKay and Mr. D. McMillan, of this place, the latter was defeated and has to pay $75 and costs. Sir Charles Tupper, the great I, is well named. To a World reporter last Sunday he said that his triumph- al march throngh the country kfiocked any of the late Sir John hiacdonald’s tours higher than Gil‘ ‘ray’s kite. Sir Charles Tupper has no mean Opinion of himself. The Mail-Empire of yesterday states that Mr. Rodgers, the Patron candidate who was elected in Fron- tenac by acclamation on Tuesday, is a supporter of the Government, being “ in hearty sympathy with the National Policy.” This is sheer stupidity as no Patron can be in sympathy with the National Policy. There is a plank in the Patron plat- form diametrically opposite to high protection. ‘ There should be a fine on lacrosse xclubs who disregard the rules by which they should be governed. ' At ‘the two championship matches played in Richmond Hill this season the “visitors arrived without the necessary certificates for their players and con- sequently the home team won by de~ fault. The neglect is no fault of our boys, but it is an injury to them, as spectators will not attend matches if they think they are only to see exlii; bition games. When the Richmond Hill team goes to neighboring towns to play their championship matches they will faithfully fulfil their part of the contract, and they should expect fair treatment in return. Sir Chas. Tapper, as Sir John ‘Macdonald’s lieutenant, in 1878 :‘promised you that if you would for- get all about the Pacific scandal and return a Conservative government to power they would run the country without taking'a dollar more out of ‘the’p‘oékéts of the poeople than the Liberals were taxing you, and that in rten years the National debt would be reduced to $100,000,000. You trust: ed him and this is the result: annual i'expenditure increased from $23,000,-' 000 to $38,000,000; national debt increased from $140,000,000 to $250,000,000. He also told you the Pacific scandal had taught them a lesson and that there would be no more political scandals. Are you sat- isfied that Sir Chas. has kept his promise. As regards Prior and Hugh John ‘Macdonald, Mr. Laurier would not find it difficult to fill their places with men of at least equal ability and integrity. It will, I feel certain, strike the average elector that the ~ehange will not be an unhappy one .for the country. Before our next issue the election -'agony will 'be all over. If the elect- <’ors haye learned wisdomâ€"and we believe they haveâ€"they will make the following changes in the minis- lterial slate: Haggart will be replaced by Sir Oliver Mowat; Montague by .Sir Richard Cartwiight; “’ood by "Mills; Tisdale by Patterson; Angus -by Laurier; Desjardine by Sir Henry Jolly; Taillon by Senator Pelleticr; IVes by Fisher; Sir Chas.

June 18, ’96 When Mr. Fraukland was introduced two pretty little girls ascended the plat- 'f~rri1~;&nd presented the coming M. P. with beautiful bouquets of flowers. Mr. Ftaukland gracefully acknowledged the compliment after the manner of his able leader, the Hon. Wilfrid Lnurier. He then took up the leading questions of the day, and the expressions of approval by which he was greeted clearly showed that the large proportion of the audience were in full accord with the views enunciated. As a man he would not. say a. work against his opponent, but the fact could not be disguised ihat many Conservatives and Refmiuers were opposed to the stand taken by Mr. Maclemi in favor of Sunday Mr. D. James, ex-reeve of Markham. presided, and in a fair and impartial speech introduced the speakers. Many ladies occupied front seals, and appeared tn be very much interested with the po- litical information they received. A most encouraging meeting in the in- terests of Mr. H. R. Frankland, the Lib- eral candidate for East. York, was held in Victoria Hall on Friday evening. The chairman then introduced Mr. Platt who commenced by saying that he was brought out by a requisition signed by 1,500 electors to support the govern- ment and the constitution. But just at this stage, and much to the disgust of those who wished to see fair play, some of MI. Wallace’s friends drew the wagon away, and Mr. Platt was obliged to dis- mount. Mr. Wallace was by the same party almost tumbled Into the wagon and drawn away towards the village. It was evidently soon discovered to be a mis- take and the wagon was returned, with an inVitation for Mr. Flatt to proceed with his speech. This offer he refused, and left the grove in apparent disgust at the treatment he received. For a time a. row seemed inevitable, but finally the crowd began to quietly disperse. The whole trouble seemed to be between the Wallaceites and the ’I‘upperites, and the breach is already wide. Mr. Frandland at Thornhill After a good deal of parleying Mr. Brown mounted a wagon which served as a temporary platform. and addressed the electors. He spoke wiih a good deal more force than he had ever before dis- played iu the contest, and received a tolerably fair hearing. He declared himself in favor of strictly secular schools for Manitoba, believing that to be the easiest solution of the trvublesome‘quest ion. He considered that although Mr. Laurier was a Frenchman and a Catholic he had taken a manly stand in resisting the coercion of the province, and as long as he kept on that line he Would get his support. Mr. Brown also stood for tariff reform as advocated by Mr. Laurier, and contended that Mr. Wallace had done practically nothing for West York during all the time he was member. Mr. Brown would endeavor to reduce postage and railway fares, and pronounced strongly against the Military College at Kirgston, and the Senate. If elected he would prove himself a worthy representative. ‘ Mr. Platt, the straight Government candidate. was again asked to speak by the chairman, Mr A. R. Fawcett, but upon declining, Mr. \Vallace took his place on the wagon. After acknowledg- ing his thanks for a handsome bouquet of flowers presented by a. fair young damsel,he commenced his address. In- terruptions soon followed. however, and the speaker requested Dan Bli'fl. and a few other stalwarts to remove " half a dozen blackguards who had been hired by the Tupper gang to break up the meeting.” This being done the order was good for some time. Mr. Wallace ‘ continuing said that Dr. Orr had been hawking around a petition to bring out an opponent to the candidate of the Con- servative Association. And why ‘2 Be- cause he (Wallace) had refused to bow to Rome. Because he would not consent to the coercion of Manitoba. Mr. Wallace’s remarks were directed principally against the Tripper Government, Dr. Orr, Jas. Thompson-another Conservativeâ€" and a few others. Who is this man Platt, said he. that the Toppers have brought out against met Yes, I know him. For years after I became M. P. he bothered me day and night to get him a government position (Mr. Plathâ€"You’re a liar, Mr. Wallace !) Mr. Wallace scarcely touched on the tariff, saying that the school question must be settled before all other questions. He would vute against coercion even if it smashed the- Government. He twitted the Platt gang, as he called them. with having $20,000of the government fund to bribe. the electors of West York. and he proph- esied that some of the boodlers would be in jail by Saturday night. During the meeting there were several scrimmages, and “ the man with the black eye” was a prominent personage. Mr. \Vallace ended a. two hours’ speech amid applause. As it was found that the hall was not nearly‘large enough to accumnmdate the crowd, an adjournment was made to the grove directly west of The Eagle Hotel. As Mr. Wallace had secured the grounds he claimed the right to dictate as to who should speak first. His prnpnsition was that Messrs. Flatt and Brown should speak first,a.nd then he Would follow. Thxs not proving satisfactory, Mr. Wal- lace said he would allow the former to agam speak and close the meeting.

Mr. J. T. Saigeon and Mr. W. Speight attended the party at, Pine Grove on Monday evening. One of the chief events was a fat man’s race between Mr. Saigeon and Mr. St. John, M.

An excellent programme was rendered. The Glee Club sang a number of glees, and Teston band furnished music.
