ELECTORS OF ALGOMA !

pMe judgment upon tho Ooveminent uf Hon. Mr. Biii^wat, wh<i luw
onoe more reoeived the cunfideooe of the Province at largo, and to mv,
aa between that Government and the prveent ^>piHMution, which in
your opinion i« better fitted io guard the interaata and direct the atfain
of our country. In mAkiug audh a decision, |»artiaan*hip ahould Iw
laid aaide, aad the ju^ment rendered ahould t>« l)aa«d, not on niattcn
of looid oonoem only, but on thoae which affect the country and the
Proyinoe •• a whole. ,
The Mowat (Jovemment aak for your aupport cm the ground that
they have adminiatered well and economically th« tiniancca of the
j^vinoe ; that they have paaaed well-coniidcred and beneficial laws
on nearly every subject committed to their own ; th«t thev have
given eveiy poeaible encouragement to the agricultural and other
interects of the Province, and aaaiated larsely in the developn|«nt of
ito reaouroea ; that they have wiaely oontrulled and guided our educa-
tional affiura, and managed well our public institution^}: thajt they have
aided in opening up *na settling the new and uutlyMAnprtions of jthe
Province, and looked carefully fJter their intereats^nd, abovu all,
because thfey have ever stood up boldly and manfully for the Uini-
torial Mkd legial*tive. rights j>f the Province when there have beeiJ as-
sailed, aa repeatedly and wantonly they have be«n. 1
<>n whftt gr6unds do the Opposition claim your support? Onvheir
lack of stateanuwship and genend unfruitfulness ? On their inability
to do more than feebly criticize the acts of the Qove^nment i Or on the
fact that wl^enever they hmve had the chance they have come' out as
enemies of the Province, and as friends and abettors of those who
would dei^rive her of her dleftrest rights? Between such a Goveni-
menk (wmch, after eleven J9»n of office, is able to show a surplus of
near^ |6,0Q0,Q0(!^)«Mid such an Opposition, there is no room for choice.
P»tnatism, as well as regard for good government, pronounces in favor
of the Mowat Jkdmiiiiatra^ion.
It fai their inability tobtring any well-founded objections or charges
a^jiunst the Government that induces their opponeuta to attempt to stir
,up sectional feeUngs and loc«l prejudices, as their pnly hope of obtain-
ing votes. Thk i$ Kdng d<me in the present election, ana particularly

With hi* unf»una«d mitMck* and Tijpw ch»rKo« AiCMiwt Mr. Lyon
w*Juiv» little to a<i h«rB, i»iwci»lly m that i{.uill.un«ii la well abla to
d«r«na himaalf. All who aru aaiuainUni with Mr. Lyou, how«T«r,
know that h« la unwaMying in hiadavotion tofha lnt*r««t« of hia oon-
•titu«mtii, aiid unfailinK in hia andatviira t« i»r<Mnol« th« general good
of the .liatriot he repreaenU. Hia record, in fact, in thia reaiM>ct will
c«impai« farorahly with that of Mr. H. J. Dawwiiiliiiuaelf The latter
blaiuea Mr. Lyon for not having induowl the (loveninient t«» eii»«n<i
lanrwr •uina for C5oloni«tion R«)ad pwrpoaee in Aljjonia. What are th«
faotn I For the yewra 1876, 1877 and IffTB (the oernMl during which Mr.
Dawaon repr'ea^nted the (liatrict in the Unjal Houae) the toUl amount
■o appropriated and expended waa 930,412. while for the throe y«»ahi
following, Mr. Lyon being then your member^ the granU ainountwl to
167 807, or nearly twice aa much aa in Mr. Dawaon'a time ! 80 that,
foil* wing out Mr. Dawar>n'a «)wn reaaoning, Mr. liyon ha* Inten twice aa
aucceadFul in promoting the intereata of Algonia in thia r«ai>«ot aa Mr.
Dawaon waa ; and her* It may b© remarked that aince Mr. Lyon haa
r«prea«nte<l the Diatrict, no leaa a auin than 1100,000 liaa been ex-
Esnded on Oolouiaation Roa<U al<me. »Again, Mr. Dawaon blamea Mr.
yon for not ha^ng obtained a«hlitional repreaentation f«)r the diatnct
in the Local Houae. Mr. Ji-yon, aa U well known, U a atnmg advocate
of thia meaaure, and took preciaely the tame meana U) aecure it aa did
Mr. DawB«)n, bringing the matter up on the flwr of the Houae, and
preimng it upon the conaideration of the Government. The latter were
not in ft poaition to deal with the «iueetiott beft»re the cenaua of 1881 waa
taken, and wew probably ttverae U\ making ao imporUnt a chaiwe
during the cloaing aeaaion of the late Parliament, but there Cknnot be
any doubt that Alguma will in the early future receive the additional
ropreaenUtion to which ahe U entitled. If Mr. Dawion cenaurea the
Government of Ontario for not giving iiicroaaed repreaenUtion to
Algoma, ^hy doee ho not blame the Dominion Government for
purauing a aimilar coune 1 Alaoma haa but one repreeontative in the'
Houae of Oommona, yet Mr. Dawaon doea not raiae hia voice in
condemnation of Sir John Macdonald and hia Government for thia.
It may be he thinka himaelf qaite equal to two or any greater number
of mombera. At any rate, in thia ia in other mattera. Sir John haa
few jnore aervil* followew in the Houae than Bfr. 8. J. Dawaon.

Jud«Hi by Mr. nJEiri own teat, niunoly, that a " fJr proporticm "

developing it, the Oovomment atand uiicondomned. They have, in
fact aa weahallgivo the figureato prove, done much more than thia,
but 'Mr. Dawaim^a eyea are apparenUy a.) blindwl by party feelmg that
•ho ia unable to do juatice to hia political opponenU. Mr Meredith,
the leader of the OplioMtion, agreea with the poaition taken by Mr.
Dawaon in 1878, and ia oppoeed to him now. In 1B79, ui^n a motion
made by Mr. Lyon aimilar to the ab^ivo, Mr. Meredith oxprewed him-
self in language which leavea no doubt aa to the attituj of the
Oppoaition on thia i>oint Referring to aomo remarka of Mr. Miller,
Mr Meredith aaid,: " The hon. member for Muskoka spoke of the
timber and other reaourcea of the unaettled districU aa Iwlonging to
the people of that part of the pniVinoe. Thia waa wrong, for theae
rovenuei belonged to the whole of Ontario." It will be aeen from thia
that even in the improbable event of Mr. Merediths accession to
power, he haa in advance dWared himself aa oppoa^ to the absurd
oontentiona of Mr. Dawaon. It ia now in orfter for Uie Utter gentle-
man, if he ia minded to underUke ao difficult a taak,' to reoucile hu
uttMmnoea of lff/% with thoae of 1883, aa well aa to harmoiiuso hia pre-
sent poaition with thikt of the Oppoaition leader, Mr. Meredith.

\ Mr. Dawaon makea the statement that " tha aettlara' traaa ar« ont

allowing thia> to be done. The mlea and regulationa governing the
cutting of timber under licenae from the Crown now are the same aa
they wwe when that mntleman himself sat in the Local House, and it
is not on re«Qrd that he ever proposed any change. Theae rulea and
regulations allow the settler to out and oae aO the pine he may
require for building, fencing or fuel purpoaea. Aa in other parts
of the Province, licensees hare the right to cut pine timber upon
the landa corered by their Uoenaea, but thia does not interfere with
the settler or deprive him of any of his property, aa by the terms of

MTe ta be stopped at onoe, because the Uoveniment gets no revenue
from the island, and the settlers there would forever be deprived of '
the beneAta which the oonatruction of thaee roads confers upon them.
The Oovemment, according to Mr. Dawson, would be quite juatiiied
in stopping these grants, but they continue them because such expendi-
ture is in the public interest, and because thev doeire to aid in all
possible ways the development of every part of tne district, regardless
of whether it i^rbduoea reveonrM- not
It has already be^ staled that the finanqisl administration of the
present Oovemment has been such aa to leave on hand the substantial
surplus of about 16,000,000. Thia surplus haa been accumulated
notwithstanding the Wge amounta that have been paid out in many

H« will support hit party in tratuf erring that part of On-
tario known M the "disputed territory" to the Dominion, and the
kind ci treatment which the settltrs will rspeive, should this trans-
Ux laka place, mi^ be jadged by the mini^^agulations whioh were
lalahr iasued by the Dominion Govenunent^Thea* regulaUona wers
of the harshest and most illiberal nature, and, as is well known,
oaused the utmost dissatisfaction in tho Rat Portage and other
mining sections. The Ontario rvgulations ss t4) minin|i| lands, on the
other hand, are of the most liberal and satisfactory kind, and afford
the utmost freedom to those working mines. After purchasing their
knda^d paying for them at the rata of 91.00 par aoia, the miners
are left free to WMrk the^r mines in such way and manner as will
bast suit their purpose. There are no reservations, n«i royalties,
and no vesatious rules to hamper them in their operations. The '
obnoxious regulations isaued by the Dominion GoTemmeiit were, it is
alleged, withdrawn when it was seen how great was the dissatisfaction
whMh they created, but the fact that they were issued at all shows
Uie illibeiml spirit in which that Oovemment propose t4> deal with
tha naw territory should it come into thair poss e ssion. This is the
GoTemmant which Mr. Plummer supports, vaA whose policv, in this
and other respects, he and his pwrty in Ontario uphold. The oeople
in the districts referred to can judge fnun these mining regulations
and similar acts on the part of the Dominion GoTanMnant, in whose
hands their interests would be better protected. '
Electors i Are you willing to be treated as Mr. Dawson proposes
to ti^eat you, riz., as a separate part of Ontario, having 'nothing in
ooramon with the reat of the Prorinoa T Are you willing to bo oon-
siderad, as Mr. Dawson considers you, so seotional and narrow that
yoo care nothing for any portion of Ontario but Al^pmal Mr.
Dawson attempts unfairly to arouse your sectional ptajodioea, and
insults Tour judgment by dealing onlv with local mattsvs, and with
these dishonestly, and keeping silent about tha manner in which the
Oorenunant hare managed the public afiurs of tba ooontty. Were
Mr. Dawson addressing the ^«ctors of Torii or M i d dl ase T , ha would
feel himself obliged to touch on topics of a prorinoial kind, yet, in
■peaking to tou, he makea scarcely any mention of these at aU. You
will reaent the dight Mr. Dawson seeks to put upon you, and show
.him not only that you are interested in the Prorinoe as a whole, biit
that you are ss capable of taking aa intelligent a riew of public afEsirs,
and as capable of easting an intelligent vote, as are the eleoton of tha
counties above-mentionad, or any other county in the Prorinoa»
Men of Algoma! you have a speoia) and direct intereat in this
▲want 4vMtion ^ond that of tha people in any other part
