Auditorium was packed to night with citizens listening to Tho addresses of the Dominion ministers who arrived Here to Day to open the political Campaign. Hon. minister of was the first speaker and he devoted himself to proving that our Trade relations with great Britain have increased under the National policy while there was a Correa pending decrease in the Trade with the United states. This he considered a laudable and desirable thing. He declared blot the people of this country were happier and More progressive than Tho people across the line and had no Deaire he believed to Send a senator to Washington. Sir John Tii Ompton minister of Justice was the next speaker. He alluded to sir Richard Cartwright As a Man who went fishing with a gun. So unattractive was Hia policy to the people of this country that they Wero going to admit As sir Richard would have them do that Canada was dependent upon Tho United states for a Market. They would find other markets and convince the United states of their ability to live without any Flavois from them. Sir John Mac Donald s government he said had made every reasonable Effort in the past to meet Tho United states on the reciprocity question and any want of Success was not due to them but to Elaine s government. The reason Why Tho elections were called just now he said was because in approaching the Ameri can government for a discussion of reciprocal relations it would be desirable to go with the end oration of the Canadian electorate of their policy in this respect. The policy of Reci probity which sir John Macdonald would Dis cuss in March next did not mean that they would Alvo up control of their own Tariff that they would adopt any course inimical to the Mother country. In did not mean either direct taxation abolition of or Tho pulling Down of Canadian industries for the Benefit of american workmen. They intend to ask for a treaty with the United states thab would be fair and Honor Able to both countries and it was upon this proposition that they asked the and oration of their fellow canadians applause Hon. Geo. Of finance repudiated what he statements made sir Richard Cartwright that the pro Gress of the country had been arrested and he referred mad Dresson loyalty in which he advocated the abolition of the office of governor general and practical annexation for which he was thanked by the Young lib eral club and the Globe newspaper. Turning from the questions of ruin and retrogression he would Call their attention to the fact _ that the credit of Canada stood not Only higher than Ever before that when they required a loan in 1888 they obtained a rate of 3 per cent the lowest rate Ever granted to a Colony. Or. Foster concluded by appealing to the Young men present if they Wero going to Belio their country for an illusionary mess of Pottage and for rent of hire. Severe themselves from an honorable Independent career a a nation to hand themselves Over to their sister Republic. The minister of agriculture Hon. John Arling was the next speaker. He dealt largely with the agricultural interests of the country pointing out that Canada monopolized the cheese Market of Britain and would he hoped Ere Long enjoy the same prominence Eor butter. The government had established experimental farms and stations throughout the country and had spared no trouble or expense in assisting and encouraging the farming Community. He denied that there was any Lack of happiness or Prosperity among the Farmers of this country although such might be the Case across the line. He concluded amidst applause by urging the encouragement of British sentiment Sib ciia1u.es to speak at Kingston. Ottawa feb.

Globe s Washin Felon correspondent states that the state depart ment u somewhat surprised at the action of sir John Macdonald in making Public in Advance of its receipt by blame of the memorandum on reciprocity he was instructed by the British government to Forward to the government of the United states. He adds it is a breach of Courtesy which will not be overlooked and to which tha attention of Tho British minister will undoubtedly be called. Com menting on this the Globe says editorially the question of diplomatic etiquette involved May be an important one for diplomats. _ but it is still move important in our judgment that the attention of the United states govern ment should be called to the Gross deceit to which it is being made a party by the minis ters at Ottawa and their newspapers. The Canadian people Are told in sub stance that that government is Wil line to agree to a modified version of the treaty of 1854 and arc asked to re elect sir John Macdonald on that understanding. Elaine s letter to congressman Baker is sufficient to convince any intelligent person that the administration at Washington will not entertain any such scheme. Nevertheless ministers and their organs speak As if they knew better than Blaine and Are literally drawing the Washington administration into the perpetration of a fraud upon the electors of this country. Wedon of diplomacy Are regarded by Blaine As bind in upon him even after sir John has violated them in the Way described. It seems to us however that Blaine is almost in duty bound to take notice publicly of Tho course which our Cabinet is Foster s explanation. Ottawa feb.

Conference of de Legates considering the difficulties Between the trainmen of the Canadian railway and the company i concluded. They had an interview with or. Shaughnesy ii he vice presi Dent and everything is amicably arranged. The men admit they did not get everything they want but they say the company has made concessions that have satisfied them. The delegates ask better terms for the train men running Between Quebec and port Arthur. The matter in dispute at last mirrored itself Down to a matter of freight trainmen s pay. In reference to wages one of the delegates said the generally recognized Standard of freight trainmen was calculated on a mileage basis three cents a mile for conductors Aud two cents for Brake Meu. They were ask incr for an increase but it was Only for the most Western portion of the division that they asked for the adoption of this Standard. The poorest paid Section was that Between Mon.
