Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 9, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba Toes october 9 torah Fra daily edition. Wednesday oct. 9, 1s7s. Of tur so soon to the returns of the elections reached showing that the Mackenzie government were unmistakably Defeated at the concluded that the Circum stances warrant the Cabinet in tendering their resignations As Early As might convenient. It should fully understood however that no positive obligation rested upon the ministers to resign office until to will of the people had been actually expressed through their representatives in parliament. No one who knows or. Mackenzie would sup pose. That he would Avail himself of the abstract i Erht he undoubtedly possessed to remain in office until a vote of non Confidence had been recorded when he had already undoubted evidence that he could no longer Hope to command a majority in the House of commons and the cry of the Liberal conservative press resign resign away consequently characterized As uncalled for and in decent. To fulfil the absolute require ments of parliamentary custom it would have been the duty of or. Mac Kenzie if he entertained Only a doubt after the general election As to his hav ing the support of the House to Call parliament together As soon As possible in order that the matter. Might determined a test vote. To do so under present circumstances when there is a hostile majority of nearly a Hundred would obviously unnecessary and exceedingly inconvenient and or. Mac Kenzie has signified his acquiescence in the decision of the country in favor of the opposite party cheerfully accept ing the result of the ballot Only too plainly 1nade Manifest without waiting for a strictly constitutional declaration against his Cabinet. It is quite evident that just As soon As the current business of the outgoing ministers could conveniently wound up the resignations of or. Mackenzie and his colleagues have been tendered to the governor general. We cannot perceive any disposition to u die indeed the dignified Man Ner in which the decision of the country has been respected shows on the contrary that due regard has been paid to the convenience of the incoming government. By unnecessarily postponing the Transfer of the seals the new Cabi net might have been greatly inconvenienced in maturing their policy to presented at the forthcoming session for it should remembered that the new ministers have All yet to seek re election before they can open their portfolios for the downright commencement of Busi Ness. Never had a new administration a More difficult task to perform than that before sir John Mac Lonald and his colleagues who have undertaken the responsibility of Licking into shape that unkempt Young Bear the National policy. Or. Mackenzie has evinced a generous to give his triumphant foes every Chance and his Manly course merits general approval and admiration. Necessary therefore to seek some other cause for the defeat of the candidate than the influence of property which does not count for so much after All in these Davs of voting ballot. The government Are naturally inclined to ascribe the reverse to any other Circum stance than it being an expression of popular condemnation of their policy. When the Marquis of lome and Princess Louise returned from their re cent trip to the continent they were accompanied the Duke of Manchester a Nobleman who has presided Over the Royal colonial Institute for some years and whose name was at one time whispered in connection with the governor generalship of Canada. On the following monday sir Michael Hicks Beach Secre tary of state for the colonies went up to the Metropolis from his country seat in Gloucestershire on purpose to have an interview with the Marquis. At the close of the interview they went together to the foreign office to see the Marquis of Salisbury who had returned that same morning from Brussels and who was at the time the Only minister in London except lord Salisbury. Immediately a Rumor went Forth that the government vexed at the result of the elec Tion in Argyllshire the constituency vacated lord Lorne on his appoint ment. And with the action of the Duke of Argyll in respect thereto had put some obstacle in the Way of Canada s new governor general. Though nothing has since transpired to justify the suspicion that the Marquis will not leave eng land Early in november As previously arranged a feeling that some c outre Temps might occur was not altogether unwarranted As the tory press finds the Argyllshire election a hard Pill to Swal Low. The Parrot cry of that party in re Ference to the contest is that nearly All Argyllshire belongs to the Campbells and that the Campbells worked unflinchingly for their namesake. The utter in truthful less of this Story has however been i oven an examination of the scotch domesday Book and the commit tee lists of the two candidates. There Are eighteen great landlords of the Campbell clan in Argyllshire of whom fourteen were members of or. Malcolm s committee Ami Only three supported lord Colin Campbell. The estates of the fourteen tory lairds extend Over acres. The three Liberal lairds possess Only 1 acres anon get them Aud even including the Duke of Argyll s estates the area of the Liberal Campbells is acres less than that of their tory namesakes. Altogether there were upwards of fifty great landowners on the conservative committee whose posses Sions extended Over acres. The Liberal landlords were Only Twenty one in number and including the Argyll and Brea Albane estates the tory Squires had an excess of acres. It is suicide at gka3to folks it. T. Mrs. E. C. Coss wife of the proprietor of the red River House grand Forks d. Recommitted suicide at the above named House recently. The circumstances Are As follows on a monday afternoon she went to a drug store and bought a Small vial of strychnine. Some time after she was seen to drink something from a Tea cup and to throw something into the stove. About nine she was taken Sud Denly ill medical assistance Xmas called but too late the fatal potion having done work. The bottle that had contained the Poison was found in the stove where she had thrown it. The following is the verdict of the coroners jury the said mrs. E. C. Coss came to her death a done of strychnine administered her own hand during a fit of despondency partially caused unpleasant family re stage robbery. From the Black Hills times. The Iron Clad treasure coach which left this City yesterday morning the Cheyenne route was robbed at Canyon Springs about 3 o clock yesterday after noon and a Man the name of h. 0. Campbell a Telegraph operator in route to ouster was killed the brigands. The Stock tender at the station which is Only about thirty five Miles from dead Wood arrived Here this Forenoon and re lated the following particulars of the affair shortly before the arrival of the coach a Man on horseback Rode up and asked for a drink of water. Upon dismounting he at once ordered the Stock tender to throw up his hands which he was not Long in doing when the robber locked him in the Grain room of the stables. By this time the band five in number All got in and proceeded to make arrangements for the capture of the coach. They removed the dirt from Between the logs near the door of the stable where the stage always stops and upon its arrival opened fire from their positions on the inside. Campbell was struck in the head a Man named Smith was wounded but the extent of his wound is not known. Gale Hill one of the Messen Gers was hit in the Side and in one o1 his arms breaking it. Scott Davis got away from the coach and taking a position behind a tree opened fire on the robbers. Soon after this the bandits rounded up All the men about the and tied them to Trees saying that at 10 o clock a Man would along to release them. Immediately upon i curing their victims they removed the Safe from the coach and opened it this the Stock tender says required several hours of work. Upon the completion of this Job the robbers took to the Woods but it is our informant s Lief that they went Only a Short distance from the scene of their bloody work the men remained tied to the Trees until half past 9 or 10 o clock last night when the Stock tender freed himself aug immediately relieved the others Anc then started to report the affair to head quarters. On taking his departure a heard a noise close to the station and a few minutes afterwards the report o Many shots were heard and it is though the villains had returned to strip thei victims of All valuables and appropriate the stage horses and that they receive an unexpected hot reception from the liberated messengers and Driver. The amount of treasure obtained the robbers is variously estimated from Small amount to we Are reliably informed that in Bullion was in the Box and the amount Mig h have been very much larger. Theire was that amount anyhow for this information came from Jack Gilmer one o this owners of the line. The reception of the news in this City created considerable of a stir upon of streets and a party of volunteers num Bering about Twenty went out on the Hunt for the desperado. Business local.
