 Mayor Rochon, 
 
 of the City of Hull, was one of Mr. Mercier's can- 
 didates at the last general election for the Legislative 
 Assembly in the Province of Quebec. He is one 
 of those gentlemen who did his utmost to contribute 
 to the "great triumph,** the "joyful news** of 
 which reached Mr. Mowat at Penetanguishene on 
 the 14th October of last year. 
 
 This gentleman in the course of a speech deliv- 
 ered by him during the late campaign spoke as 
 follows, vide Aylmer Times 25th August, 1886 : 
 
 " He (Riel) had been tried by half a jury com- 
 ** posed of six men, not one of whom was of his own 
 *' race and language. And what was the indictment? 
 "Was it murder? No; it was taking up arms 
 *' against Her Majesty the Queen, her crown and 
 " dignity ! What a frightful offence, gentlemen ! " 
 
 And we read that the disloyal following of this 
 friend of Mr. Mowat received his treasonable utter- 
 ances with shouts of laughter. 
 
(2) 
 
 The Honorable Wilfred Laurier 
 
 I 
 
 is a particular friend of Mr. Mowat. He enjoys 
 even a greater distinction than that, for he is a Privy 
 Councillor of Canada, sworn to defend Her Majesty 
 from those attacks against her^ crown and dignity 
 which in the opinion of Mr. Rochon constitute such 
 a slight offence. 
 
 Mr. Laurier attended the famous meeting on the 
 Champ de Mars at Montreal on the 22nd November, 
 1885, to protest against the execution of Louis 
 Kiel. 
 
 If anything were wanting to prove the seditious 
 character of this assemblage it is to be found in 
 the fact that amid the cheers of the crowd was read 
 the following t^-legram from the open, undisguised 
 foes of England in New York city, 
 
 *' We tender you our warmest sympathies and we 
 " assure you of our earnest support against Oran^^e 
 ** brutality and English tyranny. 
 
 "(Signed), J. B. Murphy." 
 
 ** Patrick Ford." 
 
 The Montreal Herald tells us that it was explained 
 at the meeting who these men were. 
 
 One would have thought that a gentleman who 
 was ** loyal to the Queen, to British connection, 
 
and to Canada," would have resented in the strongest 
 possible manner this grosslnsult publicly offered to 
 a British people. Did Mr. Mowat's friend, Mr. 
 Laurier, offer any protest against it ? We do not 
 find that he did, but we do find that he immediately 
 proceeded, after the acclaim which followed the 
 reading of the Fenian message had died away, to 
 harangue the excited people in a speech which har- 
 monized admirably with the text supplied by Messrs. 
 Murphy and Ford. 
 
 Among other things, this sworn defender of Her 
 Majesty was not ashamed to speak as follows : " If 
 " I had been living on the banks of the Saskatchewan 
 ** when the the revolt broke out I should myself have 
 *' taken up arms against the Government." That is 
 against the Queen, for according to the British 
 North America Act ''the Executive Government 
 ** in and over Canada is hereby declared to continue 
 " and be vested in the Queen." 
 
 That this was his deliberate opinion, and not born 
 of the excitement of the moment is clear from the 
 fact that nearly a year afterwards Mr. Laurier re- 
 affirmed it, using exactly the same words in address- 
 ing the peasants of Chambly, with this addition : 
 " We are now on the classic ground of Canadian 
 *Miberty. In the graveyards of this county are 
 *' to be found the bones of those who were not afraid 
 " to face British bullets." 
 
(3) 
 
 The Honorable A. C. Jones, 
 
 also a member of Her Majesty's Privy Council, a 
 gentleman of whom Mr. Mowat's friend Mr. Mac- 
 kenzie thought so highly that he entrusted him with 
 the command of the armed forces of Canada, and 
 one of '* our friends " who certainly did his best to 
 aid in making the ** whole country reform " last 
 winter. This Mr. Jones not very many years ago, 
 spoke as follows at a public meeting in the city of 
 Halifax : 
 
 • 
 
 . " When the British flag is hauled down from Cit- 
 *■ adel Hill, I shall take off my hat and cheer." 
 
 That Mr. Jones spoke those words is attested to 
 by no less a personage than the late Sir William 
 Young, for many years Chief Justice of Nova 
 Scotia, who, together with five hundred people, 
 heard them used. 
 
 This loyal man now sits in the Dominion Parlia- 
 ment in the very front rank of *' our friends," and 
 only the other day from his place in the House de- 
 nied that he was a Canadian. Vide Hansard 1887, 
 page 803.

 Mr. McColl, M. P. P. 
 
 for Pictou, Nova Scotia, a supporter of Mr. Field- 
 ing, whose success last year Which Mr. McColl helped 
 
to achieve, was heralded as a "Tory catastrophe " 
 by the Toronto Globe ^ and who is on^he most 
 friendly terms with Mr. Mowat. Mr. McColl, with 
 a candor which Mr. Mowat "'ould d'o well to imitate, 
 thus declares himself: 
 
 " I have been asked to define my position. I am 
 "a repealer, and further than that I am an annex- 
 " ationist." Vide official report Nova Scotia House 
 of Assembly 14th March. 1887. 
 
 (5) 
 
 Mr. J. V. Ellis, M. P. 
 
 is a prominent supporter of Mr. Edward Blake. He 
 is perhaps the most prominent Liberal from the 
 Province of New Brunswick. He certainly is one 
 of *' us," and these are his views : 
 
 In 1877 he wrote as follows — 
 
 '' Union with the United States would very readily 
 " remedy our present ills." 
 
 S And in 1884— 
 
 ''Nothing could be more unfortunate for Canada 
 " than her British connexion." 
 
 (6) 
 
 Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P. 
 
 is the leading Liberal in Prince Edward Island. 
 During the late campaign he proclaimed himself 
 
8 
 
 ii 
 
 Hi 
 
 ** the lieutenant and" mouthpiece o( the Honorable 
 " Edward Blake." Mr. Davies is one of those gen- 
 tlemen who worked so hard *' to make the whole 
 country reform," and it must b« admitted that he 
 did his share of the work. 
 
 Very well. Now listen to him. At a meeting in 
 Chariottetown, P. E. Island, in December, 1880, 
 
 n^'r,^^^^^^* speaking in condemnation of thJ 
 C. F. R. contract, made use of the following lan- 
 guage which illustrates in a very remarkable manner 
 at once the depth of his loyalty and the soundness 
 of his judgment : 
 
 ** We ar;e now asked " said he, ** to consent to a 
 contract which will seal up that great country and 
 hand it over to a monopoly. A contract which 
 will be an iron band upon the neck of every young 
 man who goes there as a tiller of the soil. A con- 
 tract from which there is no escape politically or 
 or commercially excepting one, and that is annex- 
 ation to the Un^'ted States. It is an escape that 
 no politician likes to talk about, but it will come 
 one day, and when it comes we must take our 
 chance and make the best bargain we can." 
 
 That is, when the time comes for selling our coun- 
 try we must fix the price at as high a figure as pos- 
 sible. Really it does look as if Mr. Mowat were 
 mistaken in his friends.

 Mr. H. J. Cloran, 
 
 the gentleman who bore the Reform banner in 
 Montreal Centre at the last Dominion election, and 
 who is an earnest admirer of Mr. Blake, Mr. Mercier 
 and Mr. Mowat, and one of fheir most strenuous 
 defenders, thus bears his witness to the truth of 
 Mr. Mowat's assertion that the Liberal party are 
 thoroughly loyal. 
 
 The following is Mi. Cloran's way of showing his 
 respect for the Queen's representative in this country: 
 
 '* Living in luxurious idleness in his palace at 
 Ottawa on the taxes of the people of Canada, this 
 man (the Governor-General), to describe whose 
 character and conduct there are no terms suffici- 
 ently expressive in loathing and execration, out- 
 rages every sentiment of humanity and proceeds 
 wit '1 fiendish, cold-blooded malignity to destroy 
 the homes and the lives of the peasants of Lugga- 
 curran. It was such conduct by heartless aristo- 
 crats that brought a deluge of blood upon France, 
 and while they exist how can any one say that the 
 employment of the resources of civilization against them 
 is without justification,'' Ft^^ Montreal Pos/, April 
 
 20th, l^'^J. 
 
 (8) Mr. M. J. Power, 
 
 the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Nova 
 Scotia, who jointly with the Honorable Mr. Field- 
 
10 
 
 iiil 
 
 ing represents Halifax, at a public meeting held in 
 Truro on the 8th December last, to inaugurate the 
 campaign against the Dominion Government, spoke 
 of Nova Scotians as 
 
 "A people forced to serve under a flag dirtied 
 "by the presence of the Canadian beaver." 
 
 (9) Compared with the foregoing, the statement 
 made on a public platform by 
 
 Mr. Creenway, 
 
 the Leader of the Local Opposition in the Province 
 of Manitoba, who, speaking at Boissevain during 
 the late campaign, declared with reference to the 
 National Policy ** that he was forced by it to use a 
 "miserable binder made by a miserable Canadian," 
 though not exactly the speech of a man who is 
 loyal to Canada, fades into insignificance. 
 
 (10) 
 
 Mr. Donald Farquharson, 
 
 a leading member of the Liberal party in Prince 
 Edward Island, a gentleman, who in 1879 was a 
 member in the Local Administration of which Mr. 
 L. H. Davies, M. P., was Prime Minister, on the oc- 
 casion of the outbreak of the rebellion in the North- 
 west in 1885, announced publicly his desire that 
 thousands of Fenians might cross the border, join 
 
 Riel and overrun the Northwest, and declared that 
 had he the opportunity he would not mind firing a 
 
II 
 
 few shots himself. Vide Charlottetovvn Herald, 8th 
 April, 1885. 
 
 Marty more illustrations of the loyalty of Mr. 
 Mowat's friends might be adduced. . 
 
 We might quote, for instance, from the Honorable 
 David Mills, another Privy Councillor, to show that 
 that gentleman is not ashamed from his place in 
 Parliament to incite Her Majesty's subjects to resist 
 the law of the land. Vide Hansard, 1885, page 1884 ; 
 or from the Globe to the same end, vide Globe ^ 2nd 
 March, 1886; or from Sir Richard Cartwright, also 
 a Privy Councillor, who boldly tells the people that 
 had the Parliament of Canada in the exercise of its 
 full and undoubted right re-adjusted the constit- 
 uencies of the Province of Ontario in a manner 
 that would have been a little more — only a little 
 more — distasteful to Sir Richard and his friends, 
 the occasion would have demanded an armed revolt. 
 Vide Toronto Globe's report of Sir Richard Cart- 
 wright's speech at Seaforth, 3rd November, 1886. 
 Or Mr. Charlton's still more seditious harangue in 
 Parliament — vide Hansard^ 1887, page 369. 
 
 But it is not necessary to go on quoting the dis- 
 loyal utterances of these men. The few selections 
 given above clearly indicate the views of one or 
 more prominent members of the Reform Party in 
 
1 
 
 12 
 
 every Province of the Dominion save British Col- 
 umbia, where there are as yet no Grits and conse- 
 quently no disloyalty. 
 
 We think we may safely leave it to the judgment 
 of every man who is loyal to the Queen, to British 
 connection and to Canada, and thank God there are 
 many such men among us, to say if Mr. Mowat's 
 language which stands on the first page of this 
 memorandum is not, as applied to the Liberal party 
 of Canada, wholly the reverse of true.
