But the province ought to have something like an enunciation of policy from the would be Superintendent. .Mr. J. Williamson has written to a friend to say that he recognises " the right" of the electors to discuss all questions affecting the interests of the pro vince at the present time, and that he " will " not interfere with them." This concession of liberty of speech ought to be thankfully received by the province, and if gratitude would open the mouths of the electors, they ought to be blatant in their praise of such a liberal master. It is something to know that the electors have a " right " to discuss political questions on the eve of a Superintendency election, and that the favourite candidate is graciously pleased to say that he will not "interfere" to prevent any such discussion. This is all very well in its way ; but the pro vince is too democratic to rest content with this assurance and be thankful. It would like to hear what Mr. Williamson thinks on the moot points of provincial policy, as well as to know that the supreme power will not be exercised to stifle discussion. He has inti mated that he will address the electors at "the fitting time," and in the way he thinks proper; but we maintain that there is no time like the present. Mr. Bowe, who spoke with autho rity, stated that Mr. John Williamsons address would be in the newspapers to morrow — that is, that the public would have two days to think over his policy before they were called upon to express their approval, or the contrary, on the hustings. Surely, Mr. John Williamson has been ill-advised, or he must think that the province has no alternative but to return him. The course pursued by Mr. J. Williamsons friends, in canvassing the province in secret before Mr. Whitaker's resignation, was neither decent, nor respectful to the electors. Their attempts to elicib the approval of public meetings by every pos sible pretence, are too well known to need any* comment from us ; but the worst feature of all has been the holding back of Mr. J. Williamson himself from any public expression, of policy, until it would be too late for that expression to influence the election.
