ST. THOMAS REFORMERS.

ST. THOMAS, May 18, 1880.

DEAR MADAM,-I have been instructed to communicate to you the resolutions passed at a meeting of reformers held at this town on the 11th inst. A copy of the minutes of the meeting is accordingly subjoined. I have the honour to enclose herewith copies of the St. Thomas Journal of May 11th and May 14th, 1880, and to remain

Yours respectfully,

JAMES H. COYNE, Secretary.

MRS. G. BROWN, Beverley Street, Toronto.

A meeting of reformers, which was attended by a large number of representative gentlemen belonging to the town and county, was held in the Town Hall this afternoon for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the relatives of the late Mr. Brown in their sad bereavement, and to record their admiration of his great qualities.

Mr. Walter E. Murray, of Aylmer, was appointed chairman, and James H. Coyne, of St. Thomas, secretary.

A letter was read by the secretary from Mr. T. M. Nairn, M. P.P., regretting his inability to be present, and expressing his high regard and esteem for the deceased statesman, and his sorrow for the loss the party and country had sustained in his death.

It was intimated by the chairman that Dr. Wilson, ex-M. P.P., had been unexpectedly called away by telegram, and desired to express his sympathy with the objects of the meeting.

Moved by Rev. Mr. Fraser, and

Resolved,-That by the death of the Hon. George Brown Canada has lost a statesman, who perhaps more than any other has contributed to the upbuilding of our Canadian nationality in all that tends to make a great and noble people; a citizen who has always laboured for the advancement of every worthy and beneficent cause; a man who, throughout his career "wearing the white flower of a blameless life," has left a memory to his fellow-countrymen which they will always cherish as a most valued inheritance.

The motion was seconded by Rev. D. Rowland, and supported by Rev. R. C. Parsons and Rev. George Simpson.

Moved by Mr. Colin MacDougall, and

Resolved, That whereas the late Senator Brown was for many years the trusted leader of reform principles in this province, and by his great ability, energy and eloquence, and by his lofty character, he won for himself the love and esteem of his party and the respect of his political opponents, the reformers of St. Thomas and county of Elgin desire on this sad occasion of his death to offer their tribute to the memory of their great statesman and leader, and to express their profound grief at the loss of a life so valuable to the reform party and to the state.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. Joel Lewis, of Yarmouth, and supported by Dr. McCarthy, ex-Mayor, and by Mr. Mayor Smith.

Wm. Coyne, J. P., then moved, seconded by Mr. James Stewart,

That we tender to the widow and children of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy in their great and irreparable loss.

It was then moved by Rev. J. E. Lancely, seconded by John Farley, That a copy of the resolutions passed at this meeting be forwarded to Mrs. Brown by the secretary.

The several resolutions were carried unanimously.

It was announced that special arrangements had been made with the Great Western Railway on behalf of those who desired to attend the funeral of the Hon. Mr. Brown. A large number intimated their intention of being present to pay the last honours to the great reform leader.

JAMES H. COYNE, Secretary.

NORTH GREY REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Moved by A. Gifford, seconded by James Cleland,

That at this, the first meeting of this association since the death of the Hon. George Brown, we desire to place on record the regret we feel at the loss to the country of so able a statesman, so eminent a journalist and champion of liberty as the deceased gentleman was.

That this association deeply sympathize with his bereaved family and relatives; and that the secretary be instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to his family.

REFORM ASSOCIATION, WINDSOR.

WINDSOR, May, 1880.

At a meeting of the Reform Association of Windsor, Ont., held on Tuesday the 11th day of May, 1880, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:

Whereas, the Hon. George Brown has, after many weeks of suffering, yielded up his life a sacrifice to the diabolical act of an assassin, against whom he had committed no offence;

Whereas, the deceased was for many years the regularly recognized, trusted and esteemed leader of the reform party of Canada, alike in and out of the legislature;

Whereas, in George Brown we beheld the great champion of civil and religious liberty in Canada, and the genuine patriot through whose courageous advocacy, manly conduct and unflagging exertions, our fair land, after long struggling, attained to the full measure of freedom which the people of this vast Dominion happily now enjoy ;

Whereas, we utterly detest and abhor a resort to violence by individuals as a means of removing real or imaginary grievances; more especially to that species of heartless crime which at once sacrifices human life and robs nations of their most worthy, useful and best honoured sons;

Therefore be it Resolved, That the liberals of Windsor tender their heartfelt sympathy to the widow and other relatives of that distinguished patriot, statesman and journalist, whose unprovoked murder we so deeply deplore.

That a deputation be appointed to represent us at the funeral of the deceased at Toronto, May the 12th.

That we severally wear for one month, upon the left arm, a badge of mourning to show how sensible we are of the great loss which we as members of the liberal party have sustained by the untimely death of Mr. Brown, and how thoroughly we venerate his memory.

That, guided wholly by a desire to see our public men shielded as far as possible from a calamitous end like that which overtook our lamented friend, and uninfluenced by a spirit of vindictiveness, we venture to express the hope that speedy justice may be metel out to the person whose act accomplished Mr. Brown's death.

That this resolution be immediately engrossed, signed by the secretary and chairman of this meeting, and transmitted to Mrs. Brown.

(Signed,)

GEORGE E. KILLEN, Secretary.
JAMES DOUGALL, Chairman.

ST. ANDREW'S SOCIETY, TORONTO.
