416 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
On the 16th June Mr. Bright moved in the Imperial House of 
Commons for a commission to inquire into the causes of discontent in 
Nova Scotia. The motion was voted down by an overwhelming 
majority. Howe had shot his last bolt, and missed the target. Before 
returning to Nova Scotia he and his associates published a formal 
protest, the substance of which is given in Campbell’s Nova Scotia, 
462-63. Tupper: sailed for Halifax on the same boat with Howe, 
Annand and the other members of the Repeal delegation, and they 
forgot their political differences in a series of rubbers of whist. The 
subsequent negotiations between Macdonald and Howe, leading up 
to the Better Terms Arrangement and Howe’s acceptance of a seat 
in the Dominion Government, and the consequent break between 
Howe and many of his former associates in Nova Scotia, who clung 
obstinately to their Repeal principles and would accept no compromise, 
are matters of history that have been quite fully set forth in the 
published correspondence and biographies of Howe, Tupper and 
Macdonald. See particularly chapters 33, 34, and 35 of Howe’s 
Speeches and Public Letters, and the Memoirs of Sir John Macdonald, 
II, 27-37 and Appendix xviii.
