K.-'Ashwcll ,E. M. Bovill; .J. C, Henderson »*U8, H.aday Evealag, February SI, 188*7 Our esteemed cotemporary of tlie Colonist is. exercising himself exceedingly over the contest in tliis districtjpe. is sorely distressed over the rjoMtMlity of Mr. Trapp's election because he comes out as an ''ii-^pndent," According to our cotemporary it is an awful sin to bo independent, but if you surrender â your independence (uid manhood, and submit blindly to lw governed by a party machine, you are on that account perfectly entitled to publio confidence! What fools party politics makes of inch .when a journalist pi*ewnding to Inflhenco public opinion can utter such sentimonts as these! The Colonist should remember that it once sang n very different tune. Has it forgotten tho time when it wis'oft the other side of the party fence? Mr, MoeliJlTmy's Retirement. ' sevi *.Vi A good niiuiy people do not understand-why Mr. McGillivray withdrew at the eleventh hour from tlie contest ill., this district. Our readers â¢kh6Va(ist Mr. McOillivruy was- a)*e nominee of the convention whren, ipet in this city Inst fall, and which wasjjpUedjin the iuteresU.of the party, of. reforni, and one of the objects of wliich was to oppose the deoa&^Mr. ;C(lishoim. When the convention camd â together, Mr. Trapp, Who' had' announced himself a candidate, was asked to submit his'dla'imi'to the vi'ill of the con- ventjon as Messrs. Kirklaud, Jtc- GUlwrty'nkf'Thos. Ountainghnni had. done. In reply lo this invitation, ie stated that while personally willing, he could not consent to any arrangement 'that might result in his withdrawal from tho contest without firttconsultinf/his friend* It wee proposed to adjourn the convention lofitho purposo of allowing consultation, and very « nearly it majority of those present favored that proposal; but many of the delegates declared lhat they -would hot remain over another day, and it wus lot c4n5*aTo the oSer* 'fie result v/as the selection of Mr. Mc- OilUvntfc'hiiJCM-. Trapp »un â¢*: mained in the field. It was felt by all that if-mattera remainod in this position until polling day, the result would probably be tho election of Mr. Chisholm, because the voto opposed to him would be divided betwein ii Messn. McGillivray i and Tmppv .ftbre the day of nomiua- of persons interested in the conven tion. wai called, and the situation. thorouShlV'discussed. It was decided Quit one of the two candidates opposed^e Mr. Chisholm must retire, "fir* McGillivray intimated hii willingness to retire in favor of Mr. ."Trapp' if it .was thought best for him to do so, as, he said, his wish for' the party's success was stronger than his personal ambition, The tt«Â»tirfg"tl*oUght' that' as Mr. MoGilliyray was the nominee of the convention, *£e should remain in tlie field and. Mr. Trapp should retire,. A deputation-waited upon Mr., Trap*>>rtprasenting these views, but he mfluld Wt consent. He stated that 'trtjiad given n pledge to several person, through the district, wbo promised to support him, that he would not under any circumstances retire. . Qn the faith of thai pledge certain arrangements had been made, and he felt that it,would be qtflB*lmposslble for him to will,. draw now. The situation being thus blocked, Mr. McGillivray's frienda JD3Tll» â % -*6r? 6f opinion' that there was nothing but withdrawal or defeat, and Mr. Mutiilli- tion to retire from the, contest.

GelNTLKAIEX:âShortly after the'lamented death of our lato Representative, Mr. Homer, I was Solicited by a numbor of my friend**, to allow myself to bo nominated as a Candidate for thc Representation Of tho District of Now Westminster In tlie Houso of Commons of Oflnada. Tbe |iors(uialsoIioltaMotiof friend*, wus shortly followed by requisitions so numerously signed, by promlnenluml lniluonlal Electors of the Oity and District, that I felt It to be my duty to place my services at their disposal, ltls not therefore, Gentlemen, as a self-nominated candidate, that I ask for your support, hut 1 do so in response to the request of over four hundred of your nit in ber. To many of you, Gentlomen. who lmvo known mu for a long time, It is unnecessary forme to say, that I am perfectly familiar with ihu great and varied resources of this Province. My knowledge' of its Mining, Fishing, Agricultural nnd Commercial advantages has been derived (rom actual experience, and will (if elected) enable ino to place prominently before Parliament. Iho groat resource* of this Province, and tlio moans necessary to liu employed to aid in,their further development.

Heretofore great Injustice has heen done toa valuable and deserving class of our population, to whom, had Justice'been' done and facilities afforded for acquiring homesteads, flic results of their Industry would, erethis, havo dono much io dovel tip tho agricultural oapabilitloBOf this flue district. 1 am aware, Genttemeu, that the num- lici of representatives to whieh eaeh province of ihe Dominion Is entitled is I tsed uijon population,yet I bollevoihat, u .-ing to exceptional circumstances, such us the fact Mint this province contributes to the revenue of the Dominion u much lurgcr percenlage. according to popululion, than any of Ilie other provinces! and also .to tbofaot'lhat large centres of population aro rapidly being formed iu Mils district- that It isiorititled in a larger representation In Ilie parliament of Mio Dominion, and which as a maiu-rof Jusihvl will cn- deavor toobtalii' I wlU'ulso endeavour to oblaln for'tbo residents of tills Dlstrlet better postal facilities, to whieh lhey are Justly entitled. f will use my WAI eflorls to secure equitable niJi-s ou all .u'.lway mid icli-.-r-.pli linc-.jiii i :nli:ii.-Mi-niimcilxe,lb»lnw.

Editor Columbia*-: On nomination day I liatoned to both candidates in â¢iplaialne; the contents of their ad- dreases. I oould only oome hi the conclusion, both promised the same, and if promise, were to be depended on eaeh would do well, but in these dajgof mpon.ible go.ernment all caon.taa.teDT read* to make prom- iseeWanUti act fel* independently whti.<jK4 is retards Mr. Trapp, I olUhJ-oaoloaToB hUkno.le.lge of polities was very limited, and his promises with regard to the temperance qneetion mere olap-Trapp. Sudden conversions trend always permanent, and as I have never known Mr. Trapp to identify himself in any way with tho temperance cause, I cannot puLW faHb in hie promisee now, when hoSeke election to the commons and makes temperance his platform. I hope temperance men will not be deceived and take it for granted beoause Mr. Trapp uys if the temperance qneetion is brought before the house it shall have his support. Now ta Ur. Trapp runa as an independent I believe he can make but a weak repreetttotfve.%.The number of tbat claaa ki tie common, is ao small their influents ari-oe-ita to nothing, and Mr. Trapp's power added will not be much. If Mr. Trapp is calculating on a change of government I believe he will be mi.laken.

Mr. Trapp is not the popular candidate, but run under the wing of Senator Mclnnes. Eleetors ahould therefore be very careful how they vote, tnd not insult the government by sending a man to represent Sanator Mclnnes'. griev- aneee tnd destroy the chance of getting what is needed for the district. n ? , Feb.

Rtu> simi agents ure preparing tlw entiro country for n rising and warning the population that the time is near at hand when Russia will como to thoir deliveranoe. the araoATio*,. London, Feb. 10.âThe 2'tinn'dis- patehea from Berlin ahow the relations of France and Germany, in Bpito of the statement minimising the gravity of the situation, to bo dangerously strained. Advices from other quarters indicate growing impatience on the part of France at the prolongation of the situation and a disposition to bring matters to an issue. It is significantly asserted in French telegrams that France, although not desiring a conflict, is now ready to defend herself. At Festh yesterday the Hungarian minister of national defence obtained hia vote of credit of 7,000,000 from the diet on account of war stores and material and the equipment of the Landstrom. At Vienna, the Austrian Reichstag also granted a vote on account of 12,- 000,000 florins for the equipment of the Landwehr. The war office islet- ting heavy contracts for all descriptions of stores for active service in the field. SIGNIFICANT. Brussels, Feb, 10.âThe minister of agriculture makes in the house of representatives a declaration which, although referring to a question intrinsically unimportant, is considered as somewhat serious in its bearing upon the general relations of Belgium with France and Germany, with whom for a long time negotiations have been going on concerning the French canal Lesperre, whose waters, infected by industrial refuse, How into the Belgian river Schelde, and contaminate the waters of the latter. The minister of agriculture states that if France delays satisfying Belgium the latter will firmly take ita interests in ite own hands and dam the French canal, measures having been already taken to this end. The minister's hostile words and .tone are considered to have some meaning in view of the present situation, and may believe they show a Belgian preference for another neighboring powor.

London, Feb. 17.âThe governmont is keeping it secret whatever it may be about Egypt. The only thing positive, ly known is that Sir Henry Drummond Wolfe has made some new proposal to the Sultan. Constantinople diepatohes described this aa a proposal for the neutralization of Egypt, which it pretty certainly ia nnt, but Lord Salisbury has long been known to have at heart aome decisive settlement of the Egyptian question. Answers given in the house of commons mean nothing, but enough lias been said outside to show that any project involving the immediate withdrawal of England or surrender of her present commanding position would be an unpopular move. - A LONG WAS IMMINENT.
