THE SIGNAL LIAR.
Nearly three columns of the Sig-
nal's editorial page is this week
devoted to an attempt at defending
its own course with reference to
the West Huron election infamy
and the alleged sworn declaration
of James Farr. Every paragraph
is a compound of positive falsehood
and wilful evasion, which in the
faCe Of the well known facts is an
insult to the intelligence of its own
readers. We propose to give here
a few samples with the proof of our
charge :
LIE NO. 1. -That THE STAR has
not published one line of the official
evidence, hut "a cooked report as
far (rom the facts as party rancour
can place it". The reports in THE
STAR were unusually full and com-
plete, and as to fairness we chal-
lenge a comparison with the official
stenographic report, or with the re-
ports -not official in any part -
published in the Globe.
LIE NO. 2. - That the Signal
published the_official report of the
evidence of .8,4s:TILiam Mktchell, the
town clerk and a well known Con-
servative, "who swore that he had
arraiii„;ed with Farr the night before
the election to vote for McLean,"
and that THE STAR did not let its
readers know that any such evi-
dence had been given. The Signal
published only a part of WM.
evidence, but even that
did mit shiiw that any arrangement
had been made. Here is the proof
from the Signztl's columns :
-q lie had told you he was going
to vote's A leer MsLean.
Q The night heroic ? A -Yes.
1.,) Had you asked liny questions ?
NI he tohl me llie night before.
112. volunteered it ? A - -Yes.
Thk .iprc:irrd almost identically
‘viird tor w ord in the THE STAR'S
report.
1.IE No. 1. -That THE STAR did
not tell that the Colborne witnesses
had made up a purse for Major
Beck tor lus attentions to them
while in the city. In our ititille of
Aug. appears the evidence of
Joseph Thompson, Wm. Kerr and
Thornas Cuthert that such a testi-
monial was raised and that they
contributed toward it.
LIE No. 4. -That THE STAR did
not print the admission of Robert
Clark that he had made a written
proposal in a previous election to
sell his vote. In THE STAR of Aug.
such a fact is shown in the re-
port of Clark's evidence.
LIE NO. 5. -That THE STAR did
not publish the evidence of Roland
Williams, that the ballot he marked
had a white disc for McLean and a
blue disc for Holmes. The evi-
dence of this witness and that of
two others was given in our report
simply that they voted for McLean,
but we give this statement as to
colors now, and we ask the Signal
to say positively that it does nig
believe Mr. Wilhams knew how he
voted. And we may add that Mr.
Williams DID NOT sa y "that it was
because of this peculiarity. that he
remembered he voted for Mr. Mc-
Lean. Bnt we quote further from
this paragraph :
"The Signal knows the witnenses
ho wen, at. OtAntva as well as Trim
STAR does, and it knows what their
'morn evidence wan better than THE
STAR (Ines, and it has no hesitation in
Fraying that thotigh many of the wit •
net yen gave straightforward test 'non y
there was as 'h er *Mon cn t he part
of others as is inarallv found in an
ordinarv court. and that in Raying a
ciood deal "
THE STAR has received a copy
of the official report cince the com-
mittee closed, therefore the Signal

rittes not know any better than TSB
STAR "What the sworn giet4h4v
%yes." The assertion in the • lust
part of this extract is a brageft and,
insulting falsehood from ttl'e MAO
who gave such evidence as appgars
over the name of D. McOillicuckl,y ;
but it is u notable back down of Ms
'statement a few weeks ago that
these Colborne witnesses lied to
Robert McLean, thon took a false
declaration, and backed both up
with perjured statements concocted
tinder the coaching of Joseph Beck.
We are told that "from time to
time the Signal will ,publish from
the official evidence. ' Will the
Signal give at once the official re-
port of D. McGillicuddy's evidence
and then tell these Leeburn wit-
nesses that they lied and evaded
the facts ?
These are not all the falsehoods
made in the Signal's latest effort.
but they are fair samples from
Which the value of its defence canl,
tti. Judged.
Editorial Comment.
B11.1. SYKES, of the Signal, has
this week taken to wholesale lying.
But the "game is up."
•
THE man from the Signal office
who went down to Ottawa to
"straighten this ballot business out
in ten minutes" got straightened out
himself so badly in five minutes that
he has not dared to let his readers
see his evidence.
.11M that the
paper on which the West Huron bal-
lots was printed was so thin that it
was difficult to tell when he tore off
two at a time, is a severe comment
on the dishonesty of the Govern-
ment printer who was charging for
using heavy, first-class paper.
WAIT till you read in the Signal
the evidence of Donald Cummings
as to the fourteen bogus ballots, and
that of D. McGillicuddy, the printer
thereof, and the paper expert from
Eddy's mills. Of course the Signal
will give this evidence its first choice
and the same prominence as Jim
Farr 's unattested and unsigned state-
_ .
ment.
MN. MCGILLICHDOV swore in ef-
fect that he knew little or nothing
about the doings in the Signal office
during the election, hut when cross-
examined lie knew a little more.
And this is the man who attempts- •
to holster up and defend political
crime, deception and fraud, in which
he himself is one of the principals.
A nice man, surely, to attempt to
besmirch the character of the forty
odd Leeburn electors by charging
them with perjury' !
A READER of the CI inton NeweEra
tells THE STAR that Mr. Holmes in 0
conversation denied that the Signal
accused the Colborne witnesses of
lying and perjury, and says this is
simply a yarn of THE STAR'S. Our
informant has now seen the Signal
for himself and knows where to
place the falsehood. The New Era
published an editorial from the Sig-
nal before -why does it not publish
the one headed "The Leehurn Case"
in the Signal of August ard ?
THE Signal says that when any-
one "turned up at Ottawa and de-
sired to he examined, every obstacle
45.35 thrown in the 14 their ex-
amination by the gentlemen who
were running the investigation for
the Tories." The only man who
"turned up at Ottawa arid desired
to hti examined" was D. McGilli-
cuddy, who went doyvn uncalled for
on his harbor contract business, and
there declared he was going to get
on the list of witnesses so hc could
get his mileage ank.1 expenses to pay
for the trip. And the Tories would
have been fools to object to his evi-
dence -it was better for the prose-
cution than they could have possibly
imagined.
THE Signal finds fault w ith some-
body hetause "Mr. R . C. Hays, a
witness, was allowed to sit in the
ornmittee room during the progress
of the trial, although a Liberal, who
had not been stihrsienaed, was asked
to withdraw." Mr. Hays, as a bar-
rister, V. aN allowed to remain in
(onformity w ith a IA ell known rule,
as stated by Sir Louis Davies, un-
der ys Inch barristers are not exclud-
ed from trials, ,ind besides tits evi-
dence was not on the same point as
other witnesses. "The Liberal i.vho
had not been subpoenaed" had, as
v2as well know n to the committee,
loaded up Senator Mills vvith certain
alleged "evidence" he could give in
the matter, .ind was very properly
excluded, when it was seen that he
had not sufficient sense of decency
to retire w ith the other witnesses.
