AN ELBCTIOltl IT 1007.
Glimpse 1.f the Peat l■ the
Provence of Oatarto.
Among the papers and records of
tee Ontario Historical Society for
1517, tbere appears an address by
the President, Prof. John Saualr, on
"An Election in 1.847." The election
referred to was In West Durham. be-
tween Mr. Edward Blake and Mr.
John Milne. and three meetings, held
at Newcastle. Buwlnanvllle and
Orono, are taken as the chief subject
to the pro:essor's paper.
The wetter of this article was too
young at the time to take much in-
terest In politics, but his father was
• Liberal stalwart. well read In at -
fairs of church and state, and he was
present at these meetings. A few
years ago be tax, his versionof what
took place. which, In the main, agrees
with wbat Prof. Squa:r has so well
said, but it was given at greater
length.
The meeting at Newcastle seem*
to have been a Quiet affair compared
with the other two. At BowmanarUle,
on nomination day, the action of Sir
John Macdonald in disappearing Wet
before being called upon to speak.
and then returning when Mr. George
Brown had begun, although he had
been nominated first. and should
have 1poken first. was regarded as
the trick of a schoolboy- and beneatu
the dignity of the Premier of the
Dominion of Canada. Mr. Brown had
been defeated shortly before this In
South Ontario. and to the procession
which celebrated the victory of his
opponent a comm was conspicuous,
and it was loudly proclaimed that
Brown was dead.
As he began to speak at Bowman -
elite, someone called out "Brown Is
dead." This afforded the great tri-
bune of the Canadian people. who.
like John Knox. never feared the face
of man, a text which he used against
Sir John Macdonald with alt the fiery
eloawenee of which he was master.
ending in a Serie denµnciation of the
Prime, Minister for being afraid to
speak betore a dead man.
To the youth of seventeen, as the
professor was in 1867. the reply at
the Premier may have been the bet-
ter speech, but to the veterans of
previous political Sgbu it was not.
They regarded mach of its se "play-
ing to the gallery," and It. as well
as the apparent "attitude of fear,"
cost Mr. Milne many votes tf not the'
election.
At the meeting in Orono the icon. 11
William McDougall spoke against
Mr. Blake. During the oourse of his I 1
speech be mentioned somewhat sar` 1
eaatically that at every election I 1
George Brown sent out young mei 1
etther to speak or to contest some
of the constituencies.tat
Blake appeared to be asleep. He X
sat with his hat drawn over his eyes,
apperently .not taking any settle* ofy
what McDougall was saying. So I
careless was his attitude that the
}Interlake's began to fear for their j eg
candidate when fare -to -face wltb an 1
old campaigner. Their tears were

in the report of the council meeting
printed in the local papers last week was
the following item: "The co 'lector hav-
ing declined to act in that capacity this
year, it was moved by—.seconded by—.that
applications for that office be received."
• The main reasons that the collector de-
clined were: All banks have refused to
1 accept taxes from the ratepayers of this or
any other municipality this year and all
taxes will have to be paid to the collector:
and. the meagre salary offered by the
council did not compare at all favorably
with the extra work and the responsibility
which the collector would have.
