There were few outside of Portage Prairie to apprehend who anticipated any other results to the election held there on saturday than the return of attorney general Martin which was secured by majority of 61 Kino becoming a minister Tinb gentleman bos actively Ati Rod himself to Moke the Nosti of Hia opportunities and in helping him self a has helped the town in which most of his interests lie. In several of his larger schemes of Apoc Olat of a Aloa Oab Necess trily became associated with a number of More or Lees prominent citizens who Foh themselves under a Leponis Bilby to stand by him in the dire need of an election contest. Or. Martin s opera Tiona indeed varied and extensiv3 As they have bean were of such a character As to bind to him the Many mho were either actively associated with him or were directly or indirectly affected by their influence. As we have seen this counted for a Good Deal for enough in fact to make Bis election reason ably sure. Tint this was not or. Martin s Only my Vantage. He was still a member of a govern ment that had something Over a year of life remaining to it. In that Tima or. Martin would do a treat Deal More for himself and in aiding to give increased value to that Union Senaro property and those tax Sale jots .13 would thereby be increasing the value of other property As Well. In is no secret that Many electors of Portage la Prairie having Tho most thorough belief in or. Martin s dishonesty both As a citizen Apoc Lator and As n politician re solved to support him because of the expectation that in the fruition of he selfish schemes they would themselves to bus fixed. This May be a a Lucking stand Ard of morality it is True Buo when Portage la Prairie divines can take the platform in support of the Man who is almost solely responsible for it it will not do to be too hard of Tho grosser sinners. At the last general election Lith july 1888, or. Martin was returned without opposition at his last contested election 16th february 1838, he was returned by 128 of a majority. On both these occasions he was a minister Juab fairly launched on his career. That career has had about three years it development and his majority now a 61. The difference Between in acclamation in july 1888, and a majority of 61 in March 1891, May be taken to represent the measure Public conscience in the political life of Portage la Prairie or. Martin will find in it Little to Towt of nor will the friends of the government a other constituencies be Able to extract much Comfort from it. He cot Back into the legislature whew under All tie circumstances his pres ence is most fitting. We do not know any who will a so much disturbed by Hia re election Ashi colleagues in government except id be or. Clifford Safion whose dream of a vacant seat in the Cabinet is thug cruelly diff Subj. Ceib imly the opposition from t a standpoint of expediency Only Lave no reason to regret his reappearance in the House As nothing could suit their turn better than to have both the colossal liar and the ratau without heart or conscience in the government when the next general Appeal i3 made to the country. On i among Whu or. Roblin in the coarse of Hia Ith cims on Tho budget Pench referred to an accountable warrant for issued in favor of Mestres. Smart and Martin for the Pur.

Subsequently or. Greenway rammed Home the contradiction of or. Roblin a surmises in bin attempted reply to that gentleman n critic Iama. Although in parliamentary Eti Quette it is Chato Runny for a member of the House to accept As the truth the word of another that Rule is More honoured in the breach than in the Observance when or.

Subsequent events however led him to put a nut in on Bho paper asking for specific inform in to premises and the following facts were elicited from Tho unwilling lips of the Hon. Tho Premier of Mani Toba which on readers Aro invited to com pare with the statements of messes. Smart and Mcmillan i. Roblin inquired of the ministry 1.

Jas. A. Smart and the Ion. J Oseph Martin bub not much to the Redit of the three members of the govern ment who deliberately misled or. Roblin tie provincial legislature and the people of Manitoba. Leb us romark upon the discreditable nature f this whole transaction. First it was most usual and As have proved wholly Une Cessy to Issue an accountable warrant or a Purchase of this kind.

Fehnle Tho Kui Grunth of the maritime j to Vincos become Loum Karanth to Maul Tolm and the Northwest to the editor of the free press. You allow me space to briefly consider the above question immigration to Manitoba and the Northwest is a vital tub Jeon. Ono in which every citizen in them should be interested As upon the sex tub of in and Tho character of the immigrants very largely depends the successful and speedy settlement of these vast unoccupied Plains and the building up of thriving towns and villages. I notice in the press mention of this subject in the opening speech in Tho Manitoba legislature and later on a meeting of Many of the influential men of your City n Aich Active measures were taken looking to Tho More vigorous of the subject this year. This is encouraging if in docs not rent hero. As a Nova Scotino Ono of Tho subjects of greatest interest to to is the opening of the channels of Intercourse from the maritime province Here by the removal of the principal Barrier High fares and thereby give residents in them at least an equal Chance to come and Settle the Fertile homesteads is Are granted from the upper and european strangers hitherto Tho maritime provinces have been entirely overlooked in Tho matter of their emigration it being contended by those Vjio were approached on Tho subject that there was no gain to the country in population or wealth by removing settlers from one prov ing to another which is admitted to be parti ally Correct these settlers contented prosperous and Happy. Yet Ita is poor policy to allow t Jose who Are determined to seek new Homes Drift from us without Tho slightest attempt being made to retain them in some other Parb of Canada. In those provinces by the sea Competition in Many departments of labor is great which together with the dissatisfied condition of of lets produces an almost constant exodus to the states largest in april and May where tha most of them become residents and Are to us. These emigrants for the most part Are sober industrious frugal hardworking and Are Loyal to the Core and would gladly continue under the old Flag were reasonable openings of Benoni thing themselves Here presented. They go to Tho states on account of their proximity and consequently Small Cosof transit. Of the attractions of Manitoba the Northwest territories and British Columbia they know comparatively Little As no Effort Hus Bei a made tue Ducate them. What know Lodge they have of three Prairie provinces is largely born of prejudices the outcome of misrepresentation and the belittling of them by portions of the press unfriendly to Tho development of anything Canadian while Tho literature intended to los Truot and inform on there matters instead of being sent broadcast among the people is piled in the office of disinterested agents to be delivered when called for. I feel deeply in the matter an i realize after having seen this country in its Beauty witnessed its crop yielding Power and strength of it.-, soil hav ing been the to rile Cornier and comparative of thuse who come into Ita with in the Pust Tow years i treated the Healthfulness of its climate and the comparative handles Ness of ital Winters that my country men have not had and Are Job having fair play in the matter of Access to these Fertile the choicest of Many of which already bothered by upper canadians and i Ynve been working with the new to the reduction of the fare of from Halifax hero to one equal Totham charged Thos Crussing the Ocean which i understand is less than one third the above.
