iiETIiODIST UNION.

the divisions in the ranks `.of i Christianity

in tpe General Conference oftbe Methodist

THE MUSKOKA ELECTION.
EAUQTIIEP pISQT7A IX iP TOIt, A TERM
of 'LIGHT xEnxs.
At Toronto on Monday, ;judgment was
given by justices rs A g Q
iPatterson and Fur es n
in the Muskoka election case. •The court
held that Mr. Fait uier, the respondent,
q P
had beenuilt.ofcorru t p ractices, with-
in
Y P P
in the meaning of the act, by treating a
meeting of electors at Comnhanda Creek,
on the 23rd of February, and disqualified
him for eight ' years from holding any
municipal office, or holdinganygovern-
ment
g
menta ointment. This result is only
- - PP - - -
wliat was anticipated; from the eyidence
elicited at the trial.
After the decision had been given, Mr.
g
Bethune applied for a- summons calling
upon John Shields, and others, to show.
why they also should not be disqualified
for corrupt practices during the election.
The court was of opinion that application
should be made before'thefull ;court of ap-
peal rather than before the two judges
only who tried the petition, and the sum-.
monses were not issued. Until the law
deals rigorously with such characters as
Shields, et al, for the disgraceful part art tak-
g
en in the election contests, it will not .ac-
complish all that is necessary for the
purity of elections. 'In the attempt to
"beat` Mowat" the testimony before the
o;
Courts '' shows that the basest means were
resorted to, and every honest Finan, be 'bis
politics what they may, will rejoice a't":the
signal failure of the means employed in
this instance.
The Mail attempts to break the, force, of
:this judgment, and•does its best to let Mr.
Fauquier down easy, pleading that "he
was young and inexperienced,: and not
throughly familiar With the requirements
of the law:' Is'net that nice, tow? What
an Innocent young roan he was. Of course
ignorance of the "requirements of thelaw".
is'a good excuse for them being violated.
And when the Mail says: -
"It is obvious that, from the beginning
Mr.. Fauquier dully intended, and tried,_ to
condti'ct the electionwitli perfect propriety
and purity,"
It :fa11s into its daity habit.tofutt
uttering:
g:
falsehood in order •to,•deceive `•its' readers
as to the true facts of the case. " It is
