Tomm- The official announcement of the ap- pointment of Mr. Wm. Lownsbrcugb, move of Mariposa, to the position of collector of customs at Lindsay, was received last evening. The appointment is one that will give general satisfaction, as Mr. Lownsbrough has very strong claim! on the position, and is very popular throughout the riding. Ms Q'Uaumliau “gm. '. G. MATBHETT, 0.

The pretence was too transparent. No one can help seeing that Sir Charles Tupper is throwing into the local contest all the great influence that he, as leader of a. great party, must naturally possess. and that he hopes to use Ontario as a fulcrum to pry his way back into power at Ottawa. Ontario in his hands or under his control would give a tremendous leverage, and with all due respect to Mr. Whitney his assertions that he has nothing to do with Sir Chas. Tapper carries very little weight. The good tories know very well that it is not correct, and good reformers are not to be misled by any statement of that kind. We do not think it necessary to criticise Mr. Whitney’s speech on this occasion, but we very much regret that he stooped to give currency to an unworthy insinu- ation to the eflect that Mr. Hardy might have been influenced in his timber policy by a big political contribution from Michi- ganlumbermen. It req uired a question from the audience and an evasive answer from Mt. Whitney to convey the insinuation. We think Mr. Whitney will by this time regret that he did not stamp the insinu- ation as unworthy of being entertaixud for a moment. He should know that no Michigan lumberman would dare to make any such proposition to Mr. Hardy. The meeting was rather quiet and tame until Mr. Jos. W. Sr. John, of West York, come to the rescue. Mr. St. John LINDSAY, FRIDAY ‘ u. qr.-- v_~_ York, come to the rescue.

They would make a noble pair. It is only fair to say that while Mr. St. John showed up the apalling iniquities of Hardy and Ross, he to some extent lessened the force of these charges by contending with great persistency that Sir Oliver Mowat was infinitely the worst of the lot. It was a terrible shock to the audience when Mr. St. John revealed the iniquities of the ex-premier in all their naked “hideosity.” And when with bated breath and lowered voice Mr. St. John pointed out the great danger to the constitution if Sir Oliver, as representa- tive of the crownâ€"a position to which rumor assigned himâ€"would have to deal, after a lapse of a few short months, with questions and policies that he and his “wicked partners" had been concerned in â€"the audience held its breath, too, in n,J .u... _’UUU u-ugvâ€"v- , dismay. This dismay was equalled, per- haps. when Mt St. J obn maintained that not only was there no surplus, but that the Mowat administration had spent about a million and a quarter dollars each year more than it had received, and the province was, therefore about $28,000,000 in debt. Gosh! it was just awful! Even the electric lights blinked and shivered. We regret that Veroscope pictures of Mr. St. John were not taken while he was thus showing up the iniquities of Sir Oliver and his colleagues. A set of Veroscopes and a phonograph loaded up ‘ 1with the speech would make asplendid entertainment. If the Globe will go in ‘ with us we feel inclined, even now, to ‘ have a set prepared. It would beat Artemus Ward's great moral show and wax-works all hollow, and would enlighten the public right up to the top notch. We could arrange, as an additional attraction, to locate the phonograph near the “piggery” long enough to catch the melodious notes of that famous and soli- tary pig, in order to vary them with the dulcet tones of Mr. St. John’s manly voice. It would be “Tremenjus”. If the speeches of Messrs. Whitney and St. John are to be taken as samples of the Opposition appeals to the electorate they must be presuming very largely on an expected forgetfulness of their hearers, because the issues they attempt to create concern matters well known to the peeple. One or two illustrations of the extreme recklessness of Mr. Whitney and Mr. St. 1 John may be given, and we do not consider it necessary to go into details to disprove their statements or show the absurdity of their arguments. These points were made briefly by Mr. Whitney, but Mr. St. John came to the rescue with much more elabor- ate and reckless appeals. They contended. for instance, that in- stead of having a surplus of nearly five millions in round numbers, the provincial expenditure had exceeded the provincial receipts by over a million dollars each year of the Mowat administration, and as this has been going on over twenty-five tum u..- â€"--.. years the deficits have amounted to the enormous sum of $28,000,000. This may ‘ be a few millions too much or too little, ‘ but that is of small consequence in reeling off such big figures. The deficits amounted to millions untoldâ€"so these voracious and very modest gentlemen tell us. Is not that putting it in rather a strong way? Are not such statements preposterous and absurd? Do not all fair-minded and in- telligent electors know better? ‘ It may suit a few partisan camp-followers to ap- plaud, but do not sober-minded and thoughtful electors know perfectly well â€"have they not known all these years-â€" that such wild statements have no found- ation whatever? It is well within the memory of most of the electors that the Mowat government carefully and econo- mically managed provincial expenditures. They kept pace with the public needs in the development and progress of the country, and have an extensive and sub- stantial showing in public works, buildings and institutions, in colonization roads and in railways aided, for a large and prudent expenditure of the provincial revenues. ‘ Do Messrs. Whitney and St. J ohu expect to hoodwink the electors on the financial ‘ issue by playing hocus-pocus with receipts and making no account whatever of capi- tal expenditures and what there is to show therefor. It would seem so from the reckless way in which they have been hurling figures about end twisting them to suit every turn. But: the elector: are too “ell-informed not to see through the device, and it does not require more than these reminders to controvert the reckless campaigners. -. .

He should be promoted, after “this local war is over," to the commons opposition to assist Sir Chas. Topper. where the people of Ontario pronounced the verdict, as he always won, and as no doubt his successor, Mr. Hardy, will win. ‘ There was urgent necessity for the appeals Mr. Mowat then made to the people of Ontario not to place in power at Toronto men who would sacrifice the interests of this province to the extravagant politicians who ruled at Ottawa. Those were timely and needed appeals, and uobly did the people respond. It has been one of the mysteries of our political history that Mr. Meredith should have practically sur- rendered his political independence and subordinated his engaging personality to the exacting and selfish demands of the Ottawa rulers of the day. It was for- tunate indeed for Ontario that the people of this province responded as they did to Mr. Mowat's appeals. If they had not so respondedâ€"if they had returned the then oppositionâ€"the province would have been shorn of most important and valuable powers and privileges, and would have been degraded in many ways, while the magnificent mineral resources of the New Ontario in the North-west would have been squandering amOugst the Rykerts and McGreevies, who were gathering in expectation of fattening on the prey. The appeal made with signal success by Mr. Mowat not to have the same party in power at Toronto and Ottawa was needed then, but is not needed now be. cause the circumstances are wholly difl'er ent. Then the Ottawa rulers were en- croaching in every possible way upon Ontario. The then Dominion premier angrily warned the province that not one stick of timber, not one stone, not one ounce of mineral, not one foot of land, It would it have in the disputed territory. ‘ d Do we hear from Ottawa now such shrill n e k K1!

No. All is peace, and progress, I, and happiness, and prosperity. There is :e fair treatment and friendship for Ontario 1e â€"and for all the provinces. The argu- i- ment that the Hardy government should to be rejected because Sir Wilfred Laurier ly and Sir Richard Cartwright are in power at Ottawa is specious and absurd in itself, and it is doubly absurd to base the argu- ment on quotations from Mr. Mowat’s addresses years ago, when the province “1 was fighting for its life against the attacks of thé 'theni Ottawa rulers. By the death of Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, a prominent figure is removed from the arena of journalism. Mr. Dana did not lack ability, but he was so ateeped and tinctured with hatred of all things British that he could hardly forgive himself for using the English language ; and he never lost an oppor- tunity of indulging in bitterneu toward the people of this country. He did much to stir up ill feeling between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race, and his influence for evil in that direction must ever cloud the record of a career which developed much of active useful- John Albert Edwsrd William is the imposing name bestowed upon the young heir to the house of Merlborough at the christening which took plsee on Sstnrday in the presence of the Psinee of Wsles.
