INDIGNATION MEETINGS BEING
ORGANIZED BY THE LIBERALS.
Mercier Scores the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor for ExpelIing Him From
the Cabinet.
Special to the REcoRp-uN1oN.

QUEBEC, Dec. 1S.-Monster mass meet
ings are being organized by the Liberals
throughout the province. The police are
in readiness to march to the official resi-
dence of the Lieutenant-G Governor to pro-
tect it against any hostile demonstration
that may be made. The citizens of
st. Roche and st. Saveur especially are
boiling with indignation.
Mercier has made public his views on
the political situation, and published
the correspondence between himself
and the Lieutenant-Gove and the
interim report of the royal com
mission. This report regrets that
certain correspondence was not pro-
duced, and concludes that it is not proven
that Mercier knew of the existence of the
bargain between Armstrong and Pacaud.
and that that gentleman declares that he
benehted IN no way thereby. II is
signed only by Judges Baby and David
son. Mercier, in his final reply to the
Lieutenant Governor, tells the latter he
has had the audacity to do what the
Queen would never dare to do in Eng
land without provoking revolution.
All good citizens, says he, must admit
that there is limit to tyranny, and
man, though he may have been
Prime Minister, is not slave.
Mercier characterizes the report as that
of two partisans from whom you have
dragged an unjust and unfounded opin-
ion, altogether informal, and without
legal value; containing gratuitous insults
to your ex-Ministers, supported by a
great majority of the Legislature"
Mercier charges the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor with a personal and autocratic
government; with having carried out one
OF the most odius conspiracies ever en-
tered into against the constitutional lib
critics OF free people. He taunts the
Governor with desire to place
power in the hands of political
friends against all rules of decency.
and with trampling under foot the
dignity of the crown. The Governors
conduct, he says, puts political institu-
tions in jeopardy. He refers to the Pa
cific scandal, and charges the Governor
with supporting the then guilty minis
ters to-day. Says he: "You obey the will
of Federal Prime Minister Abbott, who
was himself distributor of this bribery
money to the ministry. will try to undo
your nefarious work, with the assistance
of my colleagues and political friends,
In closing MERCER says: "You will
shortly receive from Abbott, your mas
ter, the price of your national treachery,
and / shall go before the people and re-
ceive new mandate, which will enable
me to resume the position from which
you have driven me, and to chase YOU
