The following report of the proceedings at the late Liberal-Conservative Con­ ventio~ and of the Banquet to the Right Honourable Sir John Macdonald, G.C.B., although of much interest at the present time, will, the compilers think, be looked upon in year:S to come as a volume of historic interest, as it contains not alone a full re_port of the proceedings of the greatest and most enthusiastic political convention ever held in the Dominion of Canada, but a valuable collection of able and instruc­ tive speeche!>, delivered by some of the most prominent leaders of the Liberal-Con­ servative party, which d~al comprehensively with the past, present and, to some extent, the future of the Dominion. The original intention was to confine the scope of this pamphlet to chronicling the proceedings at the rroronto demonstration, but the importance of the Banquet at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, tendered Sir John by the J1.mior Conservative Club of that city, could not be overlooked, and accordingly the speeches of Sir John Mac­ -q_0rn:tld and Sir Leonard Tilley, delivered on that occasion, have been reproduced in tnei3e pages. It would have been a pleasure to the compilers, and of profit to the subscribers to this work, had it been possible to give the admirable speeches of the other leaders which were deliYered at the Montreal Banquet, but the magnitude of the m11dert~king has already eiceeded our estimate,_ and we have had, though reluctantly, to omjt them. That part of the speech delivered by the Honourable John Carling before a meeting {J)f bis 1;,onstituents, ,which deals with the progress of Canada during the p~st decade ha!!. been appended, as the tabulated statements will prove a valuable. record for future reference. · The list of delegates appointed to attend the Toronto Convention from ever/ ,electorai district in Ontario, is very full and complete, containing upwards of ten thousand. names. This long list testifies in a mute but eloquent manner of the wide­ spread desire to do honour to the Chieftain, on the celebration of the fortieth anni­ versary of his entrance into pn blic life. The cumpilation of this work has not been unattended with difficulties and drawbacks, but it has been prosecuted with as much haste as was compatible · with proper revision, and is' now presented to ·the public with the assurance that any delay in its publication will be readily excused. · . Our thanks are due to Mr. F._D. Barwick, the Secretary of the Convention, to Mr. W. Baillie, Assistant Secretary, and to the Toronto Mail,-to the two former for their willingness to afford us every assistance and for permission to examine the records in their possession, and to the latter for . the use made of the excellent reports which appeared in that paper. FREDERIC NIUHOLLS, Toronto, February 1st, 1885. -A. W. WRIGHT. SIR JOHN MACDONALD, P_Q_., G_Q_E_:, ETC- To attempt here to give a ~omplete or at all extended review of Sir John Mac­ donald's remarkable career would be to unduly extend the limits of this volume. Yet in a history of the honours paid by his countrymen to a statesman who had just completed forty years of arduous and faithful public service, something in the way of a reference to his public career may naturally be expected. Scarcely in the pages of history will there be found another whose name is so intimately interwoven with the records of his country. When Mr. John A. Macdonald :first entered public life as the member for Kingston, the hi.story of Canada-the constitutional history at least-had scarcely begun, and while it would be invidious and unfair to claim for him the entire honour of the building of the constitutional edifice which has since been erected, to the ign0ring of the services of others-servic~s which he never denied or sought to belittle-yet it may fairly be said that he assisted in placing in position almost every stone and beam '' from turret to foundation stone." While devoting himself to the service of Canada he has never forgotten that services rendered the whole empire are services rendered to the Dominion, and the honours which have been showE>red thickly and ungrudgingly upon him by Her Majesty, whether her advisers at the time being belonged to one or other of Britain's great parties, testify eloquently of the high estimation in which his imperial services are held. The biography of the Oonservative chief since his arrival here at the tender age of :five years, on through his student days, through his brief but brilliant career at the bar, and through his parliamentary and ministerial history would read almost like a romance, so full would it be of thrilling incident and of the record of great purposes wisely formed and faithfully and tenaciously carried out. It is not ours in this place to attempt to trace this career, nor is it necessary ; not only in Canada, but by British and American writers it has been sketched on

AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • Self - Guided Walking Tour MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, GROUNDS, MEMORIAL PARK and MEMORIAL BOULEVARD
    Self - Guided Walking Tour MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, GROUNDS, MEMORIAL PARK AND MEMORIAL BOULEVARD Page 1 The Manitoba Legislative Building The Manitoba Legislative Building is a priceless monument in the true sense of the term, since it is unlikely that it could ever be reproduced today. Construction of the neo-classical style building began in 1913, based on a collective vision to erect an imposing structure “not for present delight nor use alone… but such as our descendants will thank us for.” As the primary physical focus for Manitoba’s sense of its history and identity, it is natural that a number of statues and plaques commemorating notable people, events and historical themes are located on the grounds. With this leaflet as your guide, we invite you to take a walk through our history. A Walking Tour Through Manitoba’s History Welcome to your journey through the richness of Manitoba’s history offered by this tour of the scenic grounds of the magnificent Legislative Building. We hope that it will help you to understand the story of the development of Manitoba and to celebrate the cultural diversity which makes up Manitoba’s mosaic. Begin your journey through time by touring the statues and plaques, numerically listed in this guide. Use the map provided to locate the sites on the grounds. Your tour begins at the front of the Legislative Building and takes a counter-clockwise route around the grounds and concludes at Memorial Boulevard. (Please refer to maps on Pages 18 and 19) Page 2 Your journey begins at the Queen Victoria Statue.
