POINTERS- Electors of South Grey ! Remetn- bor lliat Tuesday next, Feb 2ind, is polling day. Let every voter in the riJuig go to the several polling booths and rocoi'd their votes according to the honest dictaUis of their consci- ences. The ratepayers are the real logislatoi-s and will have only them- selves to blame if iiicapiiblcs are sent to Ottawa to make laws. Vote for Dr. Jamieson and good Government. Never in the history of this great i and growing youug country was it more important that every available vote should be puilt^d than it is at the present juncture. Ttie policy of Sir John Macdonald's Government has tended to develop the resources of Can- ada, foster home industries and pro- mote the national weal. A reveisal of that policy would be simply ruin- ousâ€"^blighting home industries and seriously retarding our growth from boyhood into a robust and sturdy national manhood. Dun't be blinded by petty, unimportant side issues ! Calmly and di.spassiouately examine the records of both parties and you will not be long in coming to the con- clusion that Dr. Jaii^ieson's platform will be most conductive to our nation- al prosperity. The political meeting at Eugenia, en Wednesday evening, of liUit week, lasted six hours. Dr. lAjidorkiu completely lost his temper wJiile Dr. Christoe and Mr. M. Richardson were t-praking. The solid arr^y of facta and incisive utterances presented by the latter gentlemen utt^rlv floored the Reform candidate, and 'le flew in- to a terrible passion. Indeed it was at one time feared that he would re- i-ort to pliysical force. Fortunately Le got cooled oflf before he fairly boil- td over. Mr. Allan, Mr. Coumeo, and Sir Richard Cartwright addressed a polit- iaal meeting in ChaMworth lately. Tluj chairman was asked by Mr. iJreaaor if any pe>'son would be allow- ed to reply on behalf of Mr. Masson. Heat, firpt replied in the negative, then said half cm hour would be allow- ed after Mr. Allen iiniehed speaking .' In fact it was determined that only one side of the questions at issue should bo heard. The whole thing was cut and dried in order to suppress that ten-or to incapable pttliticiuns, I). Croighton, Esq., M.P.P. for North Cirey. The following deliberate falsehood was clipped from last week's Grey Re- view, and shows to what extent Dr. Ijanderkin and his friends will go dur- ing an election campaign : â€" "In last week's Advance the tory cantjidatc and Lis Flesherton friends auuounced a meeting in the Town ^all Fleiihcrton, for Thursday and i:i,y,Ltf)d Dj-. Laiid(,'r- kiu, who niatk r.yaugcmcnts to be present. As saoji, an the tories found out that he would be with them that (lay, posters were issued for a mass meeting on Saturday when thoy knew that tJie Dr. has other aiTau^f:uents for that day and thereby "Gerrymaja- dcriiig Flesliorton." The ineoting was pos'pc^ied simply because one of the speakers invited could not attend on TliuraJay. Afr*';! to meet J)f. L;in- derkiri ! Pshaw I He has been fairly wliipi)<id out of his boots at every ii^epting held ill ArtiETOCsig, and that, too, by our own local men. He will not cure to come into this Township on an electioneering tour again in a hurry, considering the hot reception he got recently. Riellites are at a discount in Artemesia. â- . â- John Weber, David Graham, J. I. Gmham and Wm. J. Shannon, of Meaford Road, are put forWard, in the same issue of the Review, as vouchers to a statement said to have been made at Eugenia by Dr. Jamieson i-clative to the propo.sed Scott Act amendment. The "vouching" of the gentlemen â€" may safely be taken with a big chunk of salt. But supposing the yam to be founded on fact, it is not what Dr. Jamieson or anybody else might have done that interests the electors so much as what Dr. Lander- kin actudlhi did do, viz., voted to des- troy the usefulness of the Scott Act by adding the wine and beer clause. It will require a mighty amount of tortuous reasoning on the pa; d of the Review to convince the electors that Dr. Landcrkin's course was consistent witli tiie principles he professes to be governed b3". One fact in connection with the above paragraph is significant. It is this : Why did not the Review's infor- mant supply that journal with the names of a few Conservative "vouch- ers" who were present at tlnj meeting in question ? .\nother ipteresting fact remains to bfi noted, viz., that Mr. M. Richardson denies emphati- cally Dr. L^nderkin and tlid Revicw'i vereion of the atlair. T|ic Review gives currettcy to anoth- er story, tbis time v,';th four Neus- tadt names as vouchers. The whole thing looks so much like a cUim.sy, canard that we do not imagine it will hurt our Te|nperance platform "one iqta." The fact that our Durham co- tejn. gave currency to a falsehood con- cei'ning the mass meeting here, leads iig to entertain very serious doubts as to the honesty and truthfuluess of its other statements. Elc^tfli-s fl'ill niivko a iipte of the fact, tlait â€" 'Aiilesg positively dragged into itâ€" Dr. Landerkin has repeatedly avoided tlio slijjjitest reference to the Riel question. TJic siU)ject is not only distasteful to hii|)self but to many of his friends and admirers, who would willingly bury the bate&il thing out of sight forever. But Dr. Landerkin is a public man and iu is right that the people, whose votes am) influence hci seeks, should know something of his record. He voted in the House of Uoramons last year, that it was wrong to hang the traitor and murderer, Louis Riel. It is as clear to us now as the noon day sun, that the whole disgraceful afTuir was a deliberate bait to catch the disaffected French Cana- dian vote. 1'he Riel question is a popular cry in Quebec but quite the reverse in Ontario. Hence Dr. Lan- derkin is ashamed to stand up before the enlightened, loyol and patriotic electorate of South Grey and acknow- ledge how he niisieprosented them in that and other important particulars, how he put a preiuiuin on tiea.son and murder by his vote on the hanging of one of tJie blackest hearted scouiHlrels wlio lia^s oyer disgraced the aiinils of our beloved country. We mucit mis- take the .<<piiit of our f.illow-electors ill this riding if they do not defeat Dr. Landerkin by a largo majority and elect Dr. Jamieson in his stead on the 22ik1 inst. yo HTJi (fjticy. Mr. James Masson is nuiking a gal- lant light in North Grey, and, from wUa,t we hear, will be elected by a good majority. His opponent, like Dr. Landerkin, voted that Riel should not have been hung ; that he was in- sane, and a lot of other rantii.f non- sense. The "lectors of North Grey will leave Jfeujauiiu where he ought always tojhave bceii â€" at hnne ! VOTE FOR MASSON. E ection, Tuesday, Feb. 22nd. Be entlfdt the ] o'U. SOUTH OliEi'. In our own constituency the Reform candidate has been soundly whipped and floored on nearly every hustings throughout the entire campaign. South Grey doesn't want a represen- tative who is afraid to give a full ac- count of his stewardship, but fritters away his time quite boldly in discuss- ing matters of the least possible im- portance. South Grey doesn't want a representative who, when oppor- tunity presents itseii, will, endeavor to destroy the balance of even-handed justice by condoning the acts of a traitor to his country and a shcdder of innocent blood. No ! we don't want such a man ; and every loyal, patrio- tic elector in South Grey will, wc con fiidently trust, arise in their njjght and by placing Dr. Jamieson at- the head of the polls on Tuesday next, 2'2nd inst., administer a fitting rebu!ie to partizan, apron-stringed parliamcn- tariaus. Let every vote bo polled ! Friepda of .Ijr, JaHueson... should get down to work in real crvniest â€" only a few more days and tli« battle will be fought and won â€" by Dr. Jamieson.

Dr. Sproule is a gentleman of whom any constituency might be proud, and it is 1 fact worthy of note that tlicie are many gentle- men in the Ki:ftnn lunks even, who are ardent admirers and who will undoubtedly mark their ballots for him on tli<> iinA. inst.

Last Wednesday evening Dr. Lan- derkin held a political meeting at Eu- genia, whicii was largely attended by the electors of the surrounding com- munity. The Dr. spoke at consider- able length â€" some 2^ hours. A free, voluble speaker he is ; but when h>» speech was ended, for the life of one it was ditlicnlt to say what *•' tlie world he was driving at Oii'i.thiug had been noticeable, viz., he {;Jori*tl in his vote against the Governnjei.t in the liaiignag of Louis Riel, the N.ortli- West rebel, iiuudurer and usuri<m- 1 â€" thus castiug a contentptible, humilia- ting slur on the patriotism and loyalty of this constituency â€" a slur whicli was passed on into the pages of history, and will be repeated for all time to come. Perhaps one might be accused, of being dull oi comprehension, but it really appeared like lots of tlninder yet no rain. Truly it was 11 wonder- ful harangue, of ingenious, plausible policy, sjiiced with a pUiiliful supply of. misleading sophistry as to what had been accomplished by his side of the house at Ottawa, Very little he ap- peared to advance as to what they in- tended to aC'Xunpiish in the near fu- ture if put ill/ power, except, perhaps, general intimations of tlieir propo.si- tioiis to upsit matters in a mixed and promiscuous way â€" similar to wlnit they were some 10 years ago. He ap- peared to have no very clearly delined ideas, and it impressed us his concep- tions oijuBt wliat tin y did or did not intend to do fur the better government of this great Dominion, in liis or their purified estimation, .was, to say tlic least, very vague and misty indeed. Of course the intelligent audience was not captured and carried away by Dr. Lauderkin's really grotesque, pictur- esque, sophisticated and ui somt places â- xplosivc si)eech. There were a goodly number of Artemesia's sons there, who wei-e not to be bluffed by even a mem- ber of parliament. They were watch- ing the correctness and justness of the Dr's remarks in the light of the past record - of the work of the two great political parties at Ottawa. (It really augurs well for the welfare of onr ooniitry, when wo find numbers of local members of our communities ta- king an intense interest in the Gov- crntuent of the Domiiiion in whieli we live.) The Dr. emphntically depreca- ted partyisni, yet he prov--(l himself one of the strongest supporters of party present. At the close of Dr. ' Landcrkin's speech. Dr. Christoe was called to the platform in behalf of Dr. Jamieson. Dr. Christoe made direct advances at the great questions and issues of the recent past, the present, and future. Quite to be expected, he look a very different view of the subjects raised to that of Dr. Landerkin, who frequei.l- ly sought to contradict and object to the Dr's statement, yet being generally founded on fact, as published by the governinent, concerning their past management, the Dr. was enabled to Hoor many iiiaccuraie insinuations as to alleged mismanagement iiii the part of Bir John McDonald's government. After a lengthy review, and a breeze or two ill whicli Dr. Landerkin took part. Dr. Christoe retirt<l with ap- plause. Mr. Thorp Wright s)>oke hi favor of Dr. Landerkin and the Opposition to National Policy, ciideavoiiug to show that the farmers had siill'ered because, of it in the markets, as to cattle, but- ter, cereals, &c. But most of thos©, present could not see those things iv the same light as Mr. Wi-ight â€" per- haps not having had his business ex- perience 111 these matteis. ^ Mr. M. Hicliardson was called to the platform and lit once entered into a very gentlemanly and intelligent consideration of the live questions at issue in this campaign. He graphic ally and forcibly exposed the position taken by J)i-. Landerkin against the 'iovernment in the N"''ti'-West rebel- lion and tlie hanging of the rebel and traitor, Louis lli(d. Landerkin Laid the Gov't did wrong to hang him, but Richardson proved and maintained the Gov't did right, whicli sentiment was received with hearty applause. The speaker attacked boldly â€" face to fuciâ€" Dr. Iiandi;rkin's position on other vital questions, aud once so ex- asperated did Landerkin become, thr.t he interrupted Mr. Richardson, with the announcement that he should not leinain on the platform another mom- ent if he persisted in thus . expressing his views. (A voice â€" " Remember, Landerkin, you're in Artemesia now. Have a care what you say I ") Mr. Richordson, like the man he is, went ahead all the same â€" unrufl3':d, co d and collected, and maintained his views and the policy of the (lov't, in' the light O/itlie public records, as cor- rect.
