SIR JAMES WHITNEY SUMS UP
THE RESULT
Toronto juute 30, -Sir . James Whit-
ney ,expressed his opinion regarding;
the provincial elections• this afternoon
when he geVe out the following state-
ment,,
"Again therpeople of Ontario have
placed mycalieagues and myself ;racier a
tremendous Toad of obligation Lo .them
What we have donne is justified- and,
indeed as is well known, there was
hairdle any criticism of our record by
our opponents. This would under or-
dinara; cicumstances, leave very little
to be said, besides welcoming, the un-
mistakable indorsement we ;lave now
receive.' from an appreciative public
for the fourth time.
"But there is something More A cold
blooded anddishonest attempt was
trade to make use of the so-called
temperance gquestion, get .an unfair ed -
vantage of urs, drive us out of power,
and put Mr, Rowell en office in :rrder
to earn out this plan a few demagogic
clergymen; anxious,. above all else, for
thv success of the 'party .move, were.
not ashamed and didn't hesitate to :len-
ournce, us and every good citizen who
approve of our course, as bad cit-
izens and worse men and to announce
their views and denunciations from
their pulpits in intemperate,
violent and abusive language, which
I will not .further describe; but which
in some cases was calculated to make
a listener shudder. However the res-
ult has shown several things; among
others that these men have no. influence
whatever, and that the good people
r
a Ontario regard them with quiet
contempt What .injury they ;save
done to the temperance idea, and
-what Is of more consequence --what
injury they mayhave inflicted on
the "influence of the churches
wilt be .seers more elosly es time:goes
on
"At this point I desire 'to express
my high appreciation of the ,manner
distinctly worthy of their high .)ffi e
n whichthe great . majority .of rhe
clergymen of the province bore them
selves during the conflict in, the 'ace.
of the efforts made to embroil •hem
mit
" To conclude, no man or .et of
men would dare .trifle with, confidence,
such as has bieen. placed en .is, end.
I cat only again pledge my colleagues
and myself .to continue our good work
la the interests of the people. All the
great.::questions and subjects <lea t
with by tics' dining 'tl* Test` ten years
will continue to receive our atten-
tion anti once more I thank the peo-
ple of the province and promise them
faithful service."
