Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 26, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Sham we a in this province to to , the English speaking opponents of the pres ent local government one of the inn Cipal arguments is that the government Are too much French. .is.itjn. Formation to to to English speaking people of the province have not a fair Deharo of re promo station in the House with fourteen out of the Twenty four seats. At Tho last ses Sion when or. Lux Lon introduced his ill Futon Bill for a re distribution of the electoral divisions to a showed by figures that at that time to English were entitled to six Toon out of the tron to four seats. that there luts u new compilation voters lists and that has not at least decreased Tho number of scats to which the English speaking Peop a Are fairly entitled. But notwithstanding All this we advocating an immediate general election. In the name of Tho English speaking people of. This province we protest against a. Gen eral election until ave have a now re distribution of the electoral divisions and to Ahsert that any Ono who Avdoc atos otherwise people. When be not a Friend of those the member for Rock was moving the second Reading of the Bill already referred to he said it was Only brought Forward to meet any Emor Goney that might but the idea of a general. Election was scouted and of Argumper Itadio not pre Vail upon a majority of the House con Ocque fitly if a. General wore to take place now Tho English speaking people would after find themselves in just about the same position they do before and the time when they would get Justice in this respect would he Cle feared another your. Certainly at the time of the defeat of or. Distribution Bill the Woro most positive in their assurances thai there not to. A general election Dot at least till of tar another had these assurances. Not been. Given we Are pretty -the1 Bill mentioned would have shared so Rno other Fate than1 it did for As it Many who believed in the principle of to Bill were indifferent about its passage just then thinking it unnecessary inasmuch As there would to ample Opportunity at some sequent session to pass Sulci a measure i i before. A general. Election. Under these circumstances to say not Ionly is a general election before the passage of a new redistribution Bill not to to de sired by people of Manitoba and a those would ask in their name Are guilty of Tho deepest but to add that after were really pledges Given at the last session As already intimated that no general a Loci of would take place before the second session it is not justifiable to ask the government to precipitate Euch an event and much less justified would they to in any such a demand therefore not really apprehensive that to Groat a disaster is to happen the English speak ing people As an immediate general notwithstanding thai it is affected to be asked in their behalf. So soon As we have a fair and equitable re Twenty out of the Twenty for electoral divisions of the province strewed along the bed and Aasi Liboino Rivers i Jauch a manner Tho River control rest Otto province Tho Koif arid now settlers often at variance great injustice frequently accrues %6-rth Troia tier As Seq uen be of the present state of affairs. In the Matt Enof roads this is severely Felt. At the last ses Sion this was very apparent while or. Dick of Springfield and or. Luxton of Rockwood wore endeavouring to awaken interest in Tho House in providing roads to those Interior divisions. They did not any opposition at the same time it was next to impossible to excite much interest upon this matter with other members for Tho simple reason that the two. Divisions named Woro the Only ones interested. Therein nil Tho others having main roads pass ing through some part of Hern. And Homo of to new settlements Tho Boyno for. Instance Are included in. Divisions with which they have Little interest in common consequently they suffer accordingly. Tho result of a general election without a now. Redistribution would be to., continue undue Power in the hands of the Fronch Oyer the eng Lish to perpetuate disproportionate representation and to Icard the pro Gress of the new by keep ing them in their present at the mercy of those upon Tho Rivers. To repeat then under no circumstances must there be a general election until after a redistribution measure has passed that shall remedy Tho injustice which As far Sis to existing Law imposes school of lauds. We Are informed by or. Taase. Superintendent of Catholic schools that Tho apparent glaring inaccuracies in his 10 by yesterday s free press Are All susceptible of explanation. We Havo seen enough to incline us to this opinion. A communication from him will appear to Morrow. Among the agricultural classes Feu glad. From Trio London Spectator. To have received certain placards and hand Bills announcing u of mass meetings on behalf of farm labor ers which Are to to held in the West of England. Tho placards Aro headed by a rough woodcut representing various incidents of agricultural life. There is an Ceres presenting a Quad Tern loaf to a very Stout Farmer and a very thin labourer with Tho injunction Thero Aro a Long bearing prizes sex taken a Rabbit Jor his a Distant View of the to Are distribution none will Welcome a Gen eral election Moro to. But. We must a redistribution first. And since the passage of such a measure was put last session it should Boas Well that it is brought it should to framed with to other Points. As Well As proportionate Between English and French. For illustration Winnipeg has at present Spurno eight Hundred voters and West Turbo four Hundred Etc., while Lake iiani.toba1 about a pouty St. Paul a Hun Francois Xavier East the same Etc. Aad won Journo includes a tory of. Forty two clock , Etc., whip is made up of. Territory less than Art equivalent of one. There is nothing fair or equitable in this. Nothing can justify giving the seventy voters o f Lake Manitoba or the Hundred of St. Paul equal Power in parliament with Tho eight Hundred of Winnipeg., or the six bundred of Rock Wood. Nor can Tho terrible disparity Between to Contor Ial extent of Wost Spurno and that of Kildonan to reconciled. Another defect in the existing Constitution of the elect Oral divisions a Tho. Disadvantageous situation of the new , com with the old. Here we find to Tharo array of fat cattle _ pressed in guineas an equally Long array of lean men women and children expressed in shillings. There is a policeman arresting a Hus band who has sick wife arid county jail with the inscription 000 criminals made annually through there is a Long ascent to the workhouse and Tho pauper s grave the on y Means of escaping from this fule in the shape of an Emigrant storm or with the exhortation Best men got Tho handbills Are adorned Somo with a Cut of a Skeleton ploughing while a Farmer who is not at a a Skeleton looks on approvingly and others with a More obscure presen tation of a Farmer in the shape of an ass Ridden by a labourer the tax collector and the landlord All at once and kick ing viciously at the agitator who is apparently trying to lift the labourer off his Back.
