Mr. Proudfont expressed his deep
appreciation of the expression of con-
fidence in him by the large gathering
present. He then applied himself at
once to a review of the events which
led up to the demou.tratitn
Fust, in the public ec(ouuts com-
mittee, the Opposition members had
been stopped at every turn 10 prose-
cuting enquiries. When important
questions were asked ccncerning the
payment of arbitrator's fees to Mr.
Tienr.e, the facts were suppressed,
and niembets were "dated" to make
definite cnat,ges upon the Noor of the
House, and the Prime Minister gave
assurance of a full and fair investiga-
tion. He (Mr. Prouutoor) made his
charges, and asked that they be re-
fereed to a royal commission. This
was refused, and instead they were
sent to the privileges and elections
committee, presided over by the same
man who had barked inquiry iu the
public accounts committee.
Mr. Proudfoot explained that before
submitting bis chargee in the Huse
he had consulted with the best legal

leges and elegytions refuee to permit an
invest i-tation into the circumstances
surrounding the payment by George
C. Taylor of $i(M).tlu to Hon. W. J.
Hanna?
2. Waa it because Mr. Taylor was
asked for • contribution of $1000.00
and that the $600.00 was only the tint
instalment ?
3. Did Mr. Taylor (a Cookervative in
politics) prior to his contract with the
Government and having an unadjusted
claim ever make a contribution to
party funds?
4. Wby was the $5(10.00 not paid
over to the treasurer of the Conserva-
tive Association for the Province of
Ontario? it is well understood that
there is such an individual whose busi-
ness it is to look after such matters.
6. Why, Sir James, when you ascer-
tained that your chief colleague bad
accepted money contrary to the rule
of the Government, why did you not
insist upon its being returned ?
A. Did you, Sir James, ascertain
from Mr. Hanna that this money was
paid to him in cash in his office in the
Parliament Buildings where he sits as
bead of the Department of the Gov-
ernment which has chief control of
the morals of the people of the Pro-
vince. -
7. At your interview with Mr.
Hanna wben he admitted the reeeript
of the $6011.00 did you ask him about
the other matters referred to by Mr.
Taylor, particularly the question d
the anal tenders t i? so, what did he
say? You did not explain this in the

Stand Adopted at Anneal Meeting.
At the anuual tweeting of the Centre
Huron Liberal Association, held in
Goderich on Friday afternoon, formal
endorsement was given to the course
of Mr. William Proudfoot, K. C., the
representative of the riding in- the
Ontario Legislature.
Mr. Proudfoot did not arrive until
after the adoption of the resolution,
and when he came he was in-
formed by President Murdie of the
Association's action, and gratefully
)acknowledged its expression of confi-
dence.
The resolution was as follows:
Moved by J. J. Robertson, seconded
by John Fingland, that we, the Lib-
erals of Centre Huron in convention
assembled, desire to express our warm
endorsement of the course pursued in
the Legislature by our representative,
Mr. Proudfoot, and especially at this
juncture we wish to express our con-
fidence in him and our approval of hie
l action in connection with his charges
against certain Ministers of the
Crown. We resent the action of the
partisan majority of the Legislature in
passing a vote of censure upon Mr.
Proudfoot for endeavoriog to throw
light upon transactions which we be-
lieve should be fully ventilated.
'Mr. Prnudfoot, in thanking the
members of the Association, spoke
briefly of the issue that Ned bees' -
raised by his charges in the Lesi.la-
ture, end made acknowledgment of
the support which he bad received
from the other Liberal members, in
the House. Two of them were pres-
ent, Col. T. R. Atkiuson, member
for North Norfolk. and J. C. Elliott,
member for Neat Middlesex. Both
of these gentlenieu addressed the meet-
ing and ••10iy'E•,rd with pleasure.
Thos. McMillan, who was chosen as
chairman for the evening meeting.
also spoke briefly.
Other resolutions adopted were as
follows :
Moved by Alex. Young, seconded by
Jos. \Vatt, that the Liberals of Centre
Huron at this Annual meeting place
on record an expression of their con-
fidence in the able and eloquent leader
of Ontario Liberalism, Mr. N. W.
Rowell, ar.d call upon all who value
honest and progressive government t3
rally to bis support.
Moved by Geo. Stephenson, seconded
by J. L. Kerr. that we appreciate the
noble efforts of the Liberec party at
Ottawa, led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to
prevent t Ise adoption of the Bolden pol-
icy of a money contribution in regard
tonaval defense, and that we rely upon
tbe members of tbe present Opposi-
tion to voice ties true .eetiwents of
the country in relation to this import-
ant question.
