Mr. Justice Meredith then proceeds in the following language to point out that Wildfong, as well as one, Canna- ings, another deputy returniiag officer, were agents of Breithatma the Liberal candidate. "Are thesepersonsaWildfong and Cum- mings, agents of the respondent? He (Wildfong)was a delegate at the con- vention that brought out the respon- dent Breitbatipt as a candidate. It was solely through the action of these delegates that he became a candidate; he was their iaommee, their agent, as it were, and it was their duty, to support him and to pro- cure his election. He was afterwards employed by those who managed Breithaupt's campaign lu the Central Committee room, assisting in the • thoroughly organized work of the respondent's election. I have no doubt about agency in his case, "As to Cummings, he, too, was a del- egate; his father was in the employ- ment of Beeitbaupt in his business; he was engaged in canvassing for him and had a livery conveyance for the purpose which was charged to the Reform Association in the same manner as other conveyances hired by those who were managing the campaiga for the respondent; and this man has given no explanation regarding the $100 in $5 bills which he was seen couuting after coming out of Bossard's hotel [he had met Lewis there] on the evening of the polling. The agency in this case is sufficiently made out. "That aossard was a party to audaci- ous and reckless bribery is proved beyond question, and is not denied; that the witness, Lewis, was a party to it is also e,stablished, notwithstan- ding his:denial On oath—by an over- whelming weight in quality as well as quantity of eividei*, e • "There is indeed. lac, 'rdene whole evidence for any reasonable kind of doubt that Bossard and Lewis were engaged in audacious and reck- less bribery in Breithaupt's behalf. **It is immaterial whether Bossard was an agent or not if Lewis were, and I have no doubt he was. 'The control and managemen of Brea thaupt's campaign was taken out of local hands by the witness Smith,' (Provincial organizer), representing the Reform Association. He and those with him took in hand the work of registration of yoters, ar- ranged forBreithaupt's meetings and public speakers, and, indeed, the whole work of management and or- ganization, using the local officer's names -when desired, and having the assistance of local organizations, but Smith being the controlling and gui- ding head throughout. They(Smith and those with him) sought and ob- tained outside skilled assistance, and itava.athrouglathempatILevvis came into the riding. He came and re- mained, and was throaghtout active- ly engagedin working inBreithaupt's interest, with the knowledge and ap- proval and upon some understand- ing with the witnesses Smith and Vance (both Provincial Reform or- ganizers) and NI as one of those associ- ated with Smith in effecting Brei- thaupt's election. "It is a matter of considerable signifi- cance that Lewis was a person at the time charged with corrupt practices in another constituency; and also that attention was publicly called to the presence of Lewis and others in some of the newspapers as known bribers invading the constitueney for the purpose of securing Brea thaupt's election byleorrupt practices and yet he remained taking part in Tki—th ii,XETE,R 'TIMES /Flabtilj I ofttault,126—rottstnzeclnates delosvtig,e1 during the night, we now arrive at Rat CNDIAN PSSSSOOI Portage,e The hour is early. The AAREAATiON ON THEIR ANNUAL TRIP visitare wertaken in charge by Mayer 1VIcArthue, lind a local xeception committee, Here we were met else. by Mayor Andrews of Wienipeg, with Ald. VV ilson, 3Iartin and Speers, representing the city council, and Messrs, J, O. Crowe, McIntyre, and several others representing. the Wes- tern Canadian Press Association who had, come down with greetings from Winnipeg. After breakfast we board- ed the steamer Keenora and a most enjoyable day was spenb on the Lake of the Wopds, We were entertained by the citizens of Rat Portage to a well -served dinner and stipper on the boat. Our first stop was niade at the famous Sultana gold mine, after which a sail of. about twenty miles ep the lake brought the party to Mikado mine. The process in all its various stages of milling the ore and extract- ing the gold was inspected, and ail re- ceived pieces of ore as souvenirs. The boat reached her dock about 9 o'clock in the eveniug when we were ,met by the band and, escorted to the Opera House, where the hours which inter- vened until midnight were paseed in dancing, At midnigitt the whistle di the locomotive warned us that the hour had come for departure. At Winnipeg.—Here we arrive at 7 a. m. Aug. 12th. Every. member is in good health and. each Individual is under deep obligation to the people of Pb. ArthuaRat Portage and Winni- peg for the generous hospitality which has been shown toward them. We are allowed to roam at will during Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock we assembled at the depot, where a spec- ial train of electric cars, gaily decorat- ed with flags and bunting, convey us to the Government house, where the visitors are received by His Honor Lieutenant Governor Patterson, who was assisted in the absence of Mrs. Patterson, who is in Gerniany with her daughters, by Mrs. Hugh john Macdonald, dauglateran-la,w of the late Conservative chieftain. The legis- lative buildings were visited, also the fort, where the neatness and regularity observed in the barracks and stables were appreciated. We again boarded the cars, spending three hours in view- ing the points of interest, in and around the city. The trip was brought to a close at River Park, a beautiful pleasure ground ou the banks of the Red. River, some three miles from the centre of the city. Our trolley cars were slowed up on Main Street, wnere we were shown how guickly the Win- nipeg firedepartment could respond to a -call, and the exhibition was heartily applauded and greatly a,ppre- elated by all of our party. At River ratrk further proofs of the generosity of Western hospitality awaited the visitors, who were entertained to a banquet, in Edison hall by the city of Winnipeg. The chair was occupied by Mayor Andrews, who expressed the pleasure which it afforded the citne zens to extend the glad hand a Wel- come to the visitors of the east. The toasts were, "The Queen" "Pioneer journlalists in the west," responded to by Mr. Buckingham, of Stratford, who forty years ago founded the Norwester at, Winnipeg. Mr. Arch, McNee, of Windsonalso responded. The Legislative Assembly and • the House of Commons was responded to by Messrs R. L. Richardson, M. P., G. P. Graham, M. P., Alex Pirie ana Duncan 1VIcIntyre,of Winnipeg. "The Canadian Press Association," propos- ed by Messrs. A. J. Magurn and Tur- nock, representing the Western Cana- dian Press, was responded to by Presi- dent Dingman, Messrs. Preston,Brant- ford, Wallis, of the Mail, and ;Gardi- ner of Hamilton Times. The visitors also drank to the health of "The cor- poration of Winnipeg" which was proposed. by Secretary J. A. Cooper and Fred Cook, and was responded to by Mayor Andrews. At the conclu- sion of the banquet the tables were removed and all who wished, joined in a dance until about midnight.

MAGNIFICENT RECEPTIONS AccoenenD THE VISITORS Leaving Exeter on Moutliey, Aug. 7th, I arrived in Toronto at 1.30 p. there spending that afternoon and re- maining until tbe following day, at 2 p.an. when I wend, my way to the Union Station. There all our party were assenabled with our friends who had come down to give us a parting salute and wish us a pleasant jour- ney. Neyer in the bistory of the a P. A. has such an extensive trip been taken by the members as the one I am attempting to describe to the Pacific Coast, which, according to the mileage given from Toronto to 'Vancouver and return is about 5,800 miles. Our party numbers a round hundred and. all seem as far as we can judge a most congen- ial and entertaining crowd. We came together as strangers mostly, but from the start, at Toronto have felt quite at home witla one another, and all seemed bent on enjoying the outing and the company. We are as one large family travelling together. Our home con- sists of four parlor coaches— Quebec, Toronto, Nippon, Pekin —a driver and baggage car. Although the journey will be long and monotonous, there will be no limit to the mirth and en- tertainment, when we have such a inerry crowd on board. Leaving Tor- onto Aug 8th at 2 o'clock, we make our way first to Gravenhust, where our first stop is made. 'We are met at the station, and all the cabs and carriages the town .could conimand were brought into requisi- tion. Although not quite enough we managed to get in some where. From :the station we were driven to tbe Minnewaska hotel, a distance of a.bout two miles, where a sumptuous dinner awaited us. All enjoyed dinner here, and did justice to the magnificent spread. This hotel is a pleasing struc- ture hidden among the trees. After dinner an wended their way down over the rocks to the wharf whence we are taken up the 1VIeskoka, lakes on the; steameee• 'ITenasha;" 'tbe trite:lasting 'aboutfiae hours. The sail is nit de- lightful, and one is not surprised at so many spending the summer up among these lakes. The scenery is beautiful and we had the pleasure of seeing it when everything was bathed in the soft golden tints of sunset. We touch- ed at Pt. Carling, went through tbe locks and came back touching Beau Ma,uris, where I am afraid we intruded as a gay company of American visitors were having a social dance, and as our crowd came in on them unexpectedly we were not very welcome. We re- turned to our boat when it was an- nounced that MT. Cockburn, manager of the steamer interest here, had ar- ranged for a luncheon on board, and all repaired to the dining-rooin, where we enjoyed the repast •even after • our hear*. dinner at the Minnewaska. Before leaving the steamer Mayor Mickle read a neat address supported • by two couneillors who accompanied US on the evening's excinsion. Our President W. S. Dingman, Stratford, and Mr. A. F. Pirie, Dundas, made • terse and humorous responses. We now arrive at Muskoka wharf • on our return trip at 12.30 midnight where we again get into °tn. coaches, all delighted with the first day on our trip: We are new getting better ac- quainted. especially those an our own car, where we see one another almost continually. We have not time to be dull as most of us are seeing new scen- ery, which constantly demands admir- ation. The frequent, stops, affording an opportunity for half an hour's ex- ercise are most welconie and relieve the tedium of the journey. Wed., Aug, 10th, we arrive at North Bay, 5 a. m. where we met the rest of our party who came trona the Eastern provinces. We breakfast here and leave about 10 a. m. making frequent stops on our way to Pb. Arthunwhich the residents delight to call the Silven Gateway of the west,. Here we base our first, experience of western hospit- ality. The train was met by Mayor Geo. F. Marks, Mr. J. 3. O'Connor and Mr. D. F. Burke and Ma,yoi Chas. W. Jarvis, of Fort William. After dinner the party divided into several contin- gent& Carriages were provided at Pb. Arthur and Fort 'William for pleasant drives around the twin towns and vi- cinity. We were driven to Fairview from which a splendid view of the town and Th ander Bay is seen and the G. P. R. elevators at Ft. Williem. The eds. itors were given the freedom of the electrio railway.

The country between Winnipeg and Portage In Prairie, — a distance of about 56 miles,—appears to be as level as a table, although there is an ascent of 100 feet goiog west.

The Volunteers Insured We pass many cosy looking farm houses with their large barns and other buildings, showing sigos of pros- perity and happiness, Here also we are entertained at the various hotels and by the town council, We left Portage at 13 o'clock, which is one o'clock in the afternoon, Eastern time. 13randon, which is oar next stopping place, some 70 miles distant, we reach at 4 o'elock in the afternoon. Between Portage La Prairie and Brandon, sta- tions succeed oue another at intervals of five and six miles and many of them are bright and basy towns, and at nearly all are tall and massive eleva- tors,with now and then a flouring mill.

The store- keeper informed me that he was out of that branch of dyes, and recom- mended strongly another make of package dyes. I unfortunatelyeboaght the recommended dyes and carried them home. I used them as directed ori the package, but the work was not fit to look at, the color being of a bricky red instead of aardinal. I was obliged to wash the goods so as to get rid of the awful color, and. afterward re -dye with the Diamond Dyes which I procured at another store. 3 have used Diamond Dyes without a single failure for many years, and will never again accept a substitute from any merchant.

Donald Ballantyne died at the House of Refuge on the 12th of Oct, aged 101; he was the second person admittedas an inmate into the in- stitution, and came from Bayfield ; he was buried in the House of Refuge cemetery. A couple of women, who reside near Seaforth,paid one of the towndry goods stores a visit on Friday last, and examined a quantity of silk and other goods. They made a few small purchases and left the store. After they had been gone some little time the clerk missed two pieces of silk and concluded that the women must have stolen them. He followed them to a hotel sitting - room, where he found the silk in their possession. A further examination of the stare showed that a large quan- tity of silk and fur trimmings bad been taken. Chief Gillespie and the clerk drove over to the homes of the women and. brought back the miss, ing goods. Conduct of this kind de- serves to be severely punished, but nothing is to be done on account of the families.

Another of the old residents of God- erich towns'p passed away onThursday last, in the person of Mrs. Margaret M. Oakes, aged 75 years. John Cooper, editor of the Canadian Magazine, Toronto, was in Clinton last week attending the funeral of the late J. P. Doherty. James Snell, of Clinton,had the mis- fortune to lose his valuable imported mare last week from acute indigestion. It took sick at`Blyth fair, and did not get over it. The animal cost bien in the neighborhood of a thousand dol- lars originally, and was in foal. There is a great scarcity of cars over the Grand Trunk System and shippers are everywhere complaining. On Mon- day of last week the conductor on the L. H. & B. way freight was able to de- liver only two cars between Ilderton and Belgrave though 122 had been ordered. The annual convention of the Gode- rich District Methodist Sabbath schools and Epworth Leagues was held in the Methodist church, Blytb, on Tuesday last. Owing to the very unfavorable weather the attendance was net so large as could have been desired. A number of topics bearing upon the in- terests of the work were discussed in a very intelligent and practical manner. The importance of Clinton station to thea. T. R. is attested to by the foll- owing Out shipments for the past six months and the corresponding period ot last year : Grain, 1898, 185 tons; 1899 744, tons. Flour, 1898, 202 tons ; 1899 238 tons. Salt, 1808. 1183 tons ; 1899 1672 tons. Apples, 1898, 890 ; 1809, 725 tons. Last week 600 tolls of freight were sent out upon which the earnings were $2000. Mr. A. T. Cooper of Clinton return- ed on Saturday from attending the first Dominion Christian Endeavor Convention which was held in Mon- treal. There was a good representa- tion, about 350 delegates being in at- tendance. The Ontario and Quebec Unions also met and elected officers for the ensuing year. Rev. J. S. Hen- derson of Henson is second Vice -Presi- dent ; A. T. Cooper of Clinton, Secre- tary ; and Rev. W. J. Doherty of Hen- sall, Treasurer. On Wednesday evening, Oct. 11th. Mrs. Christopher Sturdy passed away at her home, Applegrove Farm, on the eighth concession of Goderich township. She was one of the early settlers of the township and had reach- ed the good old age of eighty-eight years. The deceased was born in Fer- managh, Ireland, in 1811. She came to this country in 1832, and was mar- ried to the late Christopher Sturdy, of Goderich township. For sixty-five years, therefore, she was a resident of tbe township. 11•060141011•11PIPVe Ca E4 -641909e030, a; t I11 What Shall; Be Done .
