IfREN'rICE Unlonvnle Maple an Build icbm'ia N ewximrket Adelmde D BLOUGH ,h of th ended xrsday gas at the The Masonic Hall was well filled on Thursday err-Hing when ajoint meet- ing was held by Mr. Arch. Cmnphell and Mr. N. W. Howell, the Liberal candidates for West and East. York respectively. The hull was prettin decorated and draped with red. white and blue bunting, Union Jacks and Canadian flags, pictures and appro- priate mottoes. Among the engrav- ings which decorated the walls and platform were the. Queen, Hon. \V. E. Gladstone, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, and stretched across the whole length of the plat- form was Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s favor- ite. motto, “The Device that Igive unto you is Unity, Peace Friendship and Fraternity.” The chair was occupied by Mr. Andrew Newton, President of the local Association, and the speakers of the evening were the two candidates and Mr. Edwin Bell, a young barrister of Chuthnm, the former home of Mr. 7ampbell. Mr. Bell Was the first speaker. He briefly referred to the good work done by Mr. Arch. Camp- bell in the riding of West Kent, which he redeemed from the Conservatives and held for fourteen years until he resigned :1, few weeks ago to contest the constituency of West York, where his present home and business are. Mr. Bell contended that the late Con- servative Government never gave Kent justice simply because that rid- ing returned a. Liberal election after election. He showed that the increase in the national debt had been trifling during the past four years as compar- ed with the increase during the eight- een years the Conservatives were in power. At the opening Mr. Bell com- plimented the meeting on the presence of so many ladies, and concluded a neat speech by recommending tho electors present to cast their votes on the 7th of November for Messrs. Camp- bell or Rowell, who were supporting one of the cleanest and ablest Govern- ments that ever ruled. The chairman extended an invita- tion to Hon. N. C. Wallace, Mr. W. F. Maclean or their represcnmtivcs to take the platform, saying that ample time would be given them to address the meeting. As no person responded. the chairman called upon Mr. N. \V. Rowell, who gave an able and eloquent address. After referring to some per- sonal allusions made by'hi/s opponent. Mr. Maclean, relative to himself, he expressed regret that there had been seemingly corrupt work in some of the elections Where Liberals were con- cerned, instancing Brockville and West Elgin. He reminded his hear- ers, however, that his opponents were saying not-hing of the Wholesale brib- ery in many‘constituencies such as South Ontario, where one Smith, a Tory ex-M. P., admitted before Judges Osler and Ferguson that he. had spent $1000 in buying votes during Calder’s election. In this case Judge Ferguson said : “I have nothing to say to Smith, but that his evidence is the most glaring piece of corruption I ever heard.” Mr. Rowell defended the Laurier Government’s position with respecttothe plebiscite, saying that Mr. Clarke Wallace and others were representing that the temperance peo- ple had been deceived. He showed plainly by speeches of Mr. Wallace, Mr. Foster, Mr. Laurier and others, that there was no deCeption, as no promise of prohibition had been made, even if a. majority of the vote polled were in favor of it. Mr. Rowell quot- ed from Hansard the following diS» cussion in Parliament before the vote was taken : “ Mr. Foster. For the sake of clear- ness we want to know just where we stand. The hon. gentleman has said that whatever the will of the people is he Will carry it out. That is one ver- sion. I want to ask my hon. friend (Mr. Laurier) if that means that if there is an affirmative vote for the principle, my hon. friend will straightway, at the next session of Parliament, we will say, introduce a hill to carly out the will of the peo- ple ‘ “The Prime Minister.â€"It moa nothing of the kind. It, means th the ,Govérnment when they have t will of the people before them, w have to take such steps as will gi efiect to the will of the people. The is the question of revenue to he co sidered; there is also the question compensation to be considered ; UK are different questions which will ha to be considered." “Mr. Oasey.â€"Then I think if the question gnes in this abstract form, it must certainly be distinctly ’under- stood by those who agree to the pass- age of this bill, that, a mere vote of a majority of those who attend the polls on that; occasion shall not bind this House. My hnn. friend from York (Mr. Foster) has been twine to get; a Joint Political Meeting. Ppt in N011~Esseutials, Liberty; in all things, Charity.” ‘en the. apostle n expect the from open But @éé’ Minister.â€"It moans kind. It, means that when they have the Qle before them, will [ch steps as will give may of L1 1-in rnm nt intro 1:11ng {pect n- themselves and to say that they will accept; that Verdict as conclusive on an abstract question like this, which takes no account of the difficulties and dangers surrounding it, and that they will bind themselves to pass such a prohibitory law as may he introduced. [certainly shall not, forswem‘ my in- dependence and responsibility to that extent.” “ Mr. Wallaceâ€"The people will come. to the conclusion that the Gov- ernment on this question are. lacking in sincerity, that they are trying by this means to get rid of a very perplex- ing and disagreeable question, that they have placed themselves on record on this matter in Parliament and in their conventions by the statements of the Premiernnd other leading mem- bers of the. Government, and now come to Parliament to supplement their actions, and at the same time they do not pledge themselves, even if a majority of the electors vote in favor of prohibition, to do more than con- Sider the. next step to be. taken, if any advance is to be. made. Parliament should be told definitely what the Government propose to do, and to that end a suitable clause should be inserted in the hill.” The explanation showed conclusively that the only promise made was to take a vote, leaving Parliament per- fectly free to take such course, after the plebiscite, as might be deemed best in the interest of the country. I ed a large tract of land, but it would not have cost the country acent of money, and the Government Were re- serving alternate sections. Speaking of the transportation problem Mr. Campbell dwelt at; cansiderable length of a railway, 70 miles in length, pro- posed to be built between Toronto and Collingwood. The proposal was to have seven large steamers on the lakes, wheat and other produce would he brought down from Northern On- tario and the North \Vest and trau- shipped to Liverpool, therehyshorten- ing the trip about 860 miles, and the slow voyage through the Detroit u river, St. Clair river, Welland canal, note“ would be avoided. This road Mr. Arch. Campbell then took the floor and made a capital speech. He contended that Mr. \Vallace was in- consistent. Four years ago he worked hard to hurl Sir Charles Topper from power, and now he was endeavoring to restore him. Mr. Campbell spoke of the revision of the tariff, showing where reductions had been made, which greatly henefitted the Canadian consumer. He gave a. history of the Dxummond County Railroad, justify- ing the Government in building it, and showed that it wasapayingin- vestment. He also dealt with the building of the Crow’s Nest Pass Rail- way in a satisfactory manner, and stated that notwithstanding large sums of money expended, including $2,000,000 for sending the contlngents to South Africa, the Government had reduced the national debt $800,000 during the past year. There was rea- snn to believe that the national debt would be reduced $3,000,000 during the next year. The Government had been blamed by their opponents for not re- ducin the annual ex enditure, al- thoug they were force to carry out certain contracts entered into by the former Government, including $13,- 000,000 for deepening the St. Lawrence and Trent Canals. The Yukon Rail- way would have been a. boon to the country had the bill not been thrown out by the Senate. It is true that had the road been built the contractors, McKenzie 8: Mann, would have receiv. ed a large tract of land, but it would not have cost the country acent of money. and the Government were re- serving alternate sections. Speakingr would diver from the Ne out by the Senate. Mr. his colleagues only aske to build the road. He ional director, but did 1) lar in it.

He seemed to be in touch with the pen 19 in the bL\‘ild'â€"'» ing of this Canada ationnl Railway which is greatly needed. Before clos- ing Mr. Campbell asked the hearty support, of the electors on the 7th of November. . The meeting closed with cheers for the.
