DEAR S/A\— At a /aroc a fid injiiicntial convention of tJie Liberal Party of the County of Halifax, held on May 25///, t/ic tuidersijined were nominated as Candidates — the tiuo first named for the House of Commons (if Canada, and the three last named for the House of Assembly of JVova Scotia — and the nominations zcere ratified by an enihusiastie general meeting of the I^arty held the same evening. lie have accepted the nominations, and now respectfully ask the favor of your z Vf and influence at the approaching elections. IVc shall endeavor to meet as many of the J: lectors as possible ; but in this la,ige and populous County, we shall be unable — in the very short time at our disposal — to do nearly as much in this war as we ivould 7vish. Should lae not have the pleasure of meeting you personally, ive trust that you will un- derstand that it will be due to no want of desire on our part, but to the very short notice of the elections given by the Govn'umeuts. Should ive have the pleasure of meeting you, we shall be most hafpy to give any expla- nation that may be required as to our views on the ques- tions now before the Electors. Aleanwhile, we ask your attention to the reasons set forth on the next page (a few of many which might be given) why you should oppose the Government candidates. lie have the honor to be Y^our obedient servants, A. G. JONES, H. H. I'UI.LER, Candtiiates for the Jfousc of Commons. M. J. POWER, VV. S. FIELDING, J. G. FOSTER, Candidates for tlic House of Assembly. Reasons whyElectors should vote against the Candidates of the Dominion Government. 1. The Ciovcrnnient havo violiiU J almost all the promises through which tliP.v obtainr'd ])owcr in 1878. 2. Thoy have put heavy duties on Hour, meal and other articles of food. 3. They have put heavy duties on clothing, and particularly on the classes of cotton and woollen goods (including blankets ) clnelly used by those who are not rich. 4. They havo greatly increaseil the public debt, the yearly expenditure and the amount of taxation, all of which they declared to be too largo in 1878 6. Whi'e guilty of gross extravagance in almost every other department of the jmblic service, they have, by a false economy, alluwed the Inteicolonial llailway — the chief public work in the Lower Provinces — to run down to such an extent as to endanger life and property. 6. They havo favored the wealthy few at the expense of the many who are not rich, as is shown by their dealings with the Canadian Pacific IJailway Syndicate and other bodies of capitalists, as well as by their taritt'. 7. They have been guilty of gross corruption, which, in many cases, has been clearly proved. 8. They have attacked the constitutional independence of the Provinces by disallowing P)ill8 passed by Local Legislatures upon matters within the local jurisdiction. 9. Filled with dread of the effect of their many misdeeds becom- ing known to the electors, they have not waited for the end of the proper parliamentary term of five years; and, actuated by the same fear, they have attempted to stifle the popular voice in the great Piovince of Ontario by the unprecedented and most outrageous njuti'^tiou of the constituencies, commonly known as the "Gerrymandering Act." Reasons why Electors should vote against the Candidates of the Local Government. 1. The Govemment have failed to fulfil the promises made before the Election of 1878. 2. When in power they did things for which they had loudly condemned the former Government, and failed to do what they had declared should be done ; for example, in the matter of Eastern l»ailwny Extension, of the coal duty, and of appointments to the Legislative Council. 3. Having promised in 1H78 to improve the road and bridge service and secure increased grants for it, they have cut down the grants to about one-half what they had been under those who went before them, and by so doing have seriously injured the agricultural, fi.^hing and mining inteiests which they had promised to foster. The mining t ^ interest lias suIfcTcd perliaps, even more than (he other?, because new roads which have beconio abpolately necessary in consequence of the opening of now mines have not been ni:ulo at all, nlthouyh the large «unis derived from the Royalties would have justified their construction. 4.
