The late Mr. Bowes. We notice with pleasure that the people of Toronto are taking steps to have a suit- Sable monument crected to the memory of their late Mayor, Mr. J. G. Bowes. This is but an act of justice to departed worth --and it is the best proof we can now have fof the utter untruthfulness of the thousand charges urged against Mr. Bowes by that heartless and unprincipled man, George Brown. The great secret of Mr. Brown's persecution of Mr. Bowes will be found in Mr. O'Connor's remarks, Mr. Bowes was an Jrishman, but above all, he was a good man, and therefore the persecutor of the In the absence of Dr. Me- Caul, who was unavoidably prevented from the first resolution. He said. "It was much to be regretted that they had not the presence of the Rev. Dr. McCaul on the occasion when eloquence of the first order was much required; but perhaps the best and most acceptable eloquence toward the worth of the departed and lamented gentleman would be the . heavy. .heart and the wet eye. The citizens of Toronto. would never forget the great services rendered to the city by the lamented gentleman, to perpetuate whose memory, by the erection of a suitable monument they had then assembled. Now that he was gone they could appreciate his virtues and his great merits. Of course it was not to be expected that a public man could occupy the positions held by John G. Bowes without of- fending some one; but it must be freely acknow- lledged that his desires were to act at all times for the best interests of the city. But where, his faults? In the case of Mr. Bowes, let his faults be forgotten and his virtues extolled. Let the young men of our city follow the exam- ple set by that gentleman by commencing at the lowest rung in the ladder, and working their way to the uppermost point, His sudden death had cast a gloom over the city ; and it should be a lesson for everyone, "for in the midst of life we are in death." All lamented his demise, and the memory of that noble body that poss- essed a noble soul would long be cherished. He (Mr. H.) believed that if there were any who had entertained unpleasant feelings towards the de- parted gentleman, they would all now, be for- gotten, because it would be a horrible thought for anyone to pass over his grave, and have to say, "here lies a man whom I maligned,' He trusted that the monument to be raised to perpetuate the memory of Mr. J. G. Bowes would ive through generations, and that it would be one upon which our. children's children would look with delight. He took great pleasure in moving the following resolution :-- Resolved,--" That this meeting of his friends and admirers, deeply regret the lcss they have sustained, in common' with their fellow-citizens of all classes, creeds and countries, in the pre- mature decease of the late John George Bowes, Esquire, for six years Mayor of the city, and for four years its representative in the Provincial Parliament." Mr. J. D, Merrick, in seconding the resolu- tion, said :--There was a time when it was un- popular in the city of Toronto to be liberal--to be ready to accord equal rights .and equal pri- vileges to all parties, and the late lamented gen- 'leman had suffered for acting liberally towards his fellow-citizens. But no one could point toga single act of his, whether Parliamentary or otherwise, where his voice had not been raised in suppert of a liberal policy. When he entered public life he was arich man, but when he with- drew from public life he was comparatively poor. Mr. O'Connor, ex-M. P. P., upon rising to move the next resolution, said that 'although comparatively a stranger in the city, he felt it his duty to move the resolution when called upon to do so, because he had known Mr. Bowes, and had had an opportunity of judging of his great worth when he acted with him in the Legisla- ture ; and he might further say that Mr. Bowes was an Irishman of whom he felt proud ; and the more intimately he was acquainted with him, the more he valued him. Resolved,--'"' That it is but an act of grateful homage to departed worth, as also one of incen- tive to living merit, that some enduring monu- ment should be erected to perpetuate to posterity the memory of a citizen so much respected while living." Mr. James Buary, having been called upon to second the resolution, said that the circum- stances which had called them together on this occasion would ever produce grief in the minds of the citizens of Toronto, and these circum- stances were not influenced by nationality or re- ligion. It was unnecessary at this time to bring vividly before their minds the character of the late lamented Mr. J. G. Bowes, for they had, most of them, an opportunity of knowing him during the last 25 years, and those who knew © him most liked him best. But they would re- member, and he had no doubt all would freely confess, that Mr. Bowes was not without his enemies, for it was true of him as of others, that any man who excelled among his fellows would be certain to excite the envy and malice of little minds. Mr. Bowes had his enemies, as all were aware, but they were men of that stamp of which he had just spoken, who were envious of his talents, because they were unable to cope intellectually with him. Indeed, it would be hard to find a man without enemies, Butit was better to have the disrespect of some men than to possess their respect, and that was fully borne out in the language of one of old-- Wee unto you when all men speak well of you." Mr, Bowes possessed a mind which raised him above petty jealousies ; he could not be influenced by rT P Mile . fur teen oll ok
