The conservative meeting postponed until Gett ing in the Field in the the situation in Manitoba. The mass meeting of Tho supporters of the conservative party was very largely attended lab night Trinity Hall being entirely filled it was about half past eight o clock when or. Geo. R. _ Liberal conservative association called the pimply in restricted abrogation _ of our rights gathering to order and invited a number of prominent members of the party to take seats on the platform. The gentlemen responding to this invitation Weron. F. Hagel q.c., t. H. Gilmour Stewart Tupper q. G., Hugh John Macdonald q. C., Frank i. Clarke Gerald Brophy Aid. A. Mcmicken Aid. John b. Mather and one or two others. Or. Crowe began by explaining Tho reasons that had prompted him to Call the meeting. They were of the eve of a general election which election had came upon them a expect they therefore had not had sufficient time to Call a meeting of the conservative association. Under Bhe circumstances he considered himself justified in advertising the meeting and he was gratified to find thab so Many Haj responded to the Call. In augured Well for the City when its citizens evinced so Groat an in Erest in Public affairs and in the selection of their representatives. He then asked the meeting to elect its chairman. Or. Crown was unanimously asked to pre Side on motion of Aid. Mcmicken seconded by or. H. J. Macdonald. Or. Was first called upon and he set Bhe Ball rolling by making a characteristic and rousing speech. Seldom in the course of his life he said had he Felb greater satisfaction in appearing before a Public body because in seemed to him a this time they had reached a critical stage in their country s affairs and that every Lover of his country should readily respond to the Call to duty. A number of the Reform party Nob All he was sure had declared in favor of a policy which meant the absorption of Canada by the United states and in View of that declaration every Man who loved his country and his country a Flag should feel a satisfaction in coming for Ward to defeat the designs of such men. He was Eure that Che Reform party was Nob unanimous on this policy because Edward Blake s retirement from its leadership was conclusive proof of it. Or. Blake As a Loyal Man chose rather to retire into Humble private life than bake Parb in what was a reasonable design. Tho few had declared thab this policy which was called unrestricted reciprocity would be a Benefit to Canada but he believed and Tho facts and figures bore him out-., thab in would be a most is rious in jury. In support of this belief the speaker proceeded to give statistics taken from the official reports of Canada and the slates first dealing with the Trade and navigation returns. In Bhe matter of wheat Export i. Hagel gave figures in support of the Contention that Bhe Canadian grower would be Bhe sufferer if unrestricted reciprocity were adopted dealing with wheat particularly because it was Manitoba s great product. Or. Wirawan a industrious Hen 1 was deals with or. Hagold showing that where Canada sent dozens of eggs across Bhe Border annually Bhe american buyers shipped dozens of these to Greab Britain. In other words he said the United states figured As the Middle Man and reaped Bhe profits which canadians would have if dealing direct with England. In the matter of the Export of lumber Canada again suffered by dealing with this All powerful Middle ninety por cent. Of Bhe Worth of lumber sent to Bhe states being shipped from there to South America. Why Deal with this Middle he asked. Why Nob Reb the profits we right fully should instead of the pittance holier instances of Trade of re Given the matter of woolens being deals with particularly Bhe speaker stating Eliab american woolens were wanted female Cooks general ser Van an i kit Hen girls.

Their opponent was a Strong Man a powerful speaker and booked by u Good cause. such Odds however a Bhe close of the fight the conservative Standard waa found in the where in always would be found. The a Packer then dealt with or Scarth s record As their representative in the House of commons saying thab in the whole of that gentleman s parliamentary career to had done nothing to Tarn ish his Honor or his reputation. The speaker Felt that the Reward of Ucb an honorable car Eer should be a renewal of the Confidence placed in him and he therefore Hud great pleasure in nominating w. B. Scarth Tho conservative Standard bearer. Or. T. H. Gilmour seconded the nomination in a Brief speech in Tho course of which he too referred to or. Scarth a record in i Jarl lament. He believed their representative had done what he believed to by his duty and was entitled to their fullest Confidence. Or. Gilmour spoke of. The faithful and untiring work or. Scarth had performed in Aid of the great scheme Tho Hudson s Bay railway and also of his Courtesy and the assistance he had always rendered to the deputations sent from Here to Ottawa to adjust local questions. The chairman in submitting the nomination to Tho meeting supplemented what the mover and Seconder had said expressing the fullest Confidence in or Scarth. The nomination was put and unanimously endorsed. Or. Scarth in rising to thank the meeting for the Hon or was heartily cheered lie said to should like hotter to to their Standard bearer to Day than on the lust occasion because he had Felt thab in was a question of Wim question of country. To Felb that the policy of the grit party now was discrimination against Tho Mother country and ultimately Annex Abion to the United states. In support of his opinion in this regard to read an extract from a letter written by or. Edgar to or. Wiman in which in was said thab it would be hopeless to expect reciprocity with the United states without a certain amount of discrimination against England. Further proof he held was in or. Wiman s reply to this letter and in or. Thaine 8 speeches. The speaker said that not Only did this policy mean discrimination against England bub he was certain it meant the annexation of Canada. If not Why had sir Cartwright heard himself spoken of at a i Emend american banquet a Tho first u. Seu Tor from Ontario without a word of prote Sii. Should not sir Richard a Loyal Man and As one who had received honors from Bhe hands of his Queen to Havo declared his loyalty then or. Scarth after speaking in Bhe same Strain a some length said he regretted that he had to decline the unanimous nomination to had received. He should like nothing Bobber than to stand at their front and Lead them to Victory for Victory he said to was confident of. He was forced to declines however but declined with fervent thanks for Bhe great Honor done him. Knowing Hab he should be compelled to decline again he had consulted with his friends and endeavoured to Geb other gentle men to succeed him. He had hoped Bhat sir Donald Smith would have consented because he Felb that with so Many interests Here and from his Long residence in Winnipeg the constituency would be Safe in sir Donald s hands.

From 35 to 40 per cent dearer than in Canada. In this instance it meant that if we had reciprocal Trade our prices for Woolen goods must be identical and in a word thab canadians would Havo to pay from ten to twelve millions of dollars annually More for this class of goods alone than a present. The financial Babus of Tho United states and Canada and the Prosperity and prospects of the two countries were ably compared the Contention of the Sperker being thab we As canadians Are much better off than our neighbors to the South. The proportionate debts the foreclosure of mortgages Etc., on each Side of the line entered into this com Parison the figures of or. Hagel showing Canada to be in an infinitely better state. The combined exports of the United states were shown to be s33 per head while of Canada they were per head. This was another proof of Canada s Prosperity. Then Bhe Superior educational advantages of Canada were dealt with and also the Superior Intelli gence of canadians As compared with Ameri cans. Of the population of the United states seven per cent of Bhe Whites could neither read nor write and of Bhe coloured forty seven per cent could not. Out of both of these to show that this fact Nob due to ignorant immigrants that had settled there in was stated thab the majority were native born. He asked is in to this country we want to Annex ourselves Canada again could boast of order and peace and of protecting its citizens. In the United states in 1890 there were murders committed. The manner in which these murderers had Beds deals with was significant. There had been 90 of them lynched and bub 89 lawfully executed of Tho total number. Is this Tho land you want to be taken to by sir Richard Cartwright or any of his followers he asked. The speaker believed the Issue now before them moan Union with Bho United states and meant nothing else. Or. Goldwin Smith had in this belief when recently he had declared that he did t like the phrase annexation bub thab unrestricted reciprocity would Lead them to Union with the Republic. Concluding or. Hagold dealt with sir John Macdonald to Appeal for their support and expressed his Confidence that there would be no Uncertain sound in response to thin Appeal when the country was called upon to respond in its favor. That the conservative party would win Bhe election to had no doubt and never or. Hagel then moved the following Resolution that this meeting fully endorses the policy Ofir John a. Macdonald since the decline however having accepted the Nomina Tion for West Montreal. Then they had though of or. E. L. Drewry a gentleman whom they were All sure could Curry Winnipeg against any Man who would oppose him but he too found Hin self compelled to decline on account of ill health. However they were confident of soon being Able to submit to the party the name of some other gentleman who would be satisfactory to All and who would be certain of election. In conclusion or. Scarth returned his thanks and said thab they could rest assured thab whether in or bub of parliament Winnipeg could always depend on his Earnest endeavours and his Heartiest ser vices. When or. Scarth resumed Bis seat some one started singing for he s a Jolly Good fellow and Tho Strain being taken up was Sung lustily by the whole audience. This demonstration was followed by three cheers and a Biger for Bhe gentleman who bowed his Aid. J. B. Mather was called upon by the chairman and warmly to said he was sure the audience had listened with to grab to or. Scarth s reply to their unanimous nomination. In View of it he believed it would be better in Tho interests of the parly to adjourn until next saturday evening when other names could be submitted. He pub his suggestion in Bhe form of a motion. The motion was seconded by or. Hugh j. Macdonald in a capital speech which was loudly cheered by Bhe assembled conservatives. He he had hoped up to last moment Bhat or. Scarth would consent to be their Standard bearer and he sincerely regretted that gentleman s decision. He was sure How Ever that some other would be found and whoever that other was to was certain would be the next member for Winnipeg. This fight Bhe speaker declared was not one be tween grits and tories or Between f Reo Trade and Protection bub bet Ween loyalty and Dia he was rare Winnipeg would be True to the old Flag a fad thab their children would never have to Point their fingers at them and say these our fathers were the men who betrayed Canada and prevented it from becoming a he declared thib unreal ribbed reciprocity waa nothing More nor less than veiled less than annexation. Those who advocated it he said called it by Many names commercial Union Etc., but annexation was really Nab it was. The allies of the promoters of it on Tho other aide of Tho line he declared did Nob disguise this.
