The Quebec general election of 1886 on October 14, 1886 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly for the Province of Quebec, Canada.
Mercier actually ran under the name Parti national, but that name was soon abandoned, and the traditional "Liberal" name was retained.

 A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts
In the central or hilly portions of the State the soil is generally good; it being a clayey or sandy loam, and well adapted to the growth of the cereals, the esculent roots, and fruit and forest trees.
The farms are generally owned in fee by their occupants, and are generally from forty to two hundred acres, divided into convenient lots of mowing, arable, pasture, wood land, and swale or meadow, and fenced with stone wall or wooden posts and rails or wire.
The forests, in general, seem young and thrifty; and it is hoped, that for the sake of the salubrity of the air, the supply of the water-fountains, as well as for the beauty of the scenery, they will be, so far as practicable, protected and extended.

 Statehood for Quebec   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Quebec is mentioned, by indirection, in the Declaration of Independence (the "neighboring province" enlarged by Britain at the expense of other colonies), and Washington, D.C. named a street for Quebec, just as for each of the States.
French Quebecers will have to fight to preserve their language and culture against the English-language steamroller of assimilation, but the same could be said of just about everyone on this planet, whatever their language.
Quebecers who worry about the potential loss of old-age pensions, medical coverage, R.R.S.P., damage to the environment, etc., should realize that these matters are largely within the control of States, which have very considerable independent powers of legislation and regulation in the U.S. federal scheme.

 Brophy v. the Attorney-General of Manitoba [1895] - Quebec History
The Public Schools Act, 1890, repealed all previous legislation relating to public education, and enacted that all Protestant and Roman Catholic school districts should be subject to the provisions of the Act, and that all public schools should be free schools.
A portion of the legislative grant for educational purposes was allotted to public schools, but no school was to participate in the grant unless it were conducted according to all the provisions of the Act and the regulations of the Department of Education and of the Advisory Board.
These schools received their proportionate share of the money contributed for school purposes out of the general taxation of the province, and the money raised for these purposes by local assessment was, so far as it fell upon Catholics, applied only towards the support of Catholic schools.

 Journal of Canadian Studies: City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992
The election could be much closer than people expect, especially because other candidates will have big-money backers and a lot to spend." Smith's fundraisers had begun by silently phoning the Edmonton region provincial PC list of donors, and the subsequent party leadership campaign quickly became a serious financial barrier.
Although Smith lost, his general position remained powerful, and conflict was now locked into every city council debate.(f.63) Most of the projections made by Smith's advisers, based on their expertise and announced by the candidate to frequent ridicule, became city policy before the next fiscal year end.
While generally lauding Smith's behaviour on election night in its editorial, the Sun did observe of his campaign that "He even went so far as to suggest some kind of conspiracy of female editors on the city's two daily newspapers against a male candidate." f.45.

1516 But in general if we sort of talked about the savings and the expenses and things like that, I guess the savings come from the ability to have a group of salespeople who have the ability to sell four different radio stations with the correct demo to the correct client at that particular time.
We have gone from the proposition of losing money in a radio market to being able to generate enough revenue that we can continue to provide service and enhance services and keep doing what we are doing in Sudbury and it has been very good for us.
All of the revenue recorded in 2003 was generated as a result of the local sales agreement.

In any case, the traditional image of Lovecraft – the one we think of when we see Virgil Finlay's exquisite portrait of him as a periwigged gentleman – as the eighteenth-century fossil completely ignorant of and hostile to the twentieth century has, since the publication of his letters, been shown conclusively to be false.
The general revolt of the sensitive mind against the tyranny of corporeal enclosure, restricted sense-equipment, and the laws of force, space, and causation, is a far keener and bitterer and better-founded one than any of the silly revolts of long-haired poseurs against isolated and specific instances of cosmic inevitability.
How much of this scholarship is actually seeping into the general academic community it is difficult to say; perhaps it is still too early to speak definitively on the matter.

It is to the glory of the Jewish Socialist Bund in Russia that the question of nationalism, which in the minds of the Socialists of the older generation was synonymous with oppression and subjection, was forced into the foreground.
The natural reaction to the threat of Jewish subversion is violence, a reaction that can be seen at the time of the first crusade, at the time of the Chmielnicki pogroms in 1648, and at the time when Bolshevism threatened the social order of Europe during the 1920s and 30s.
