Dr• Macdonald, WI', Continued from page 4.; the Redistribution Ant of Bite country, after the decennial census, that the baud of the gurryinanderer could interfere with the majorities, beosne° county boundaries would become permanent, and these local Weirs in whioli the people are alt engag• ed would be put ors a permanent baeie in the various enmities. There le another paint 1 with to bring out strongly, and I would be glad if any horn, geutluenau wlio anewore rim would give an explanation of the figures which 1 am about to pre• sent, if the reason which I propose to give is not in accordance with his views. It was said last night by some hon, mem- bora, that the previous gerrymanders did not affect the Conservative party bene- ficially ea a whole, and there were various reasons advanced by various speakers, in support of that contention, Hon. gentle• men took groups of counties, here and there, and compared the majorities, but this comparison of majorities must lead to wrong conclusions. We are agreed that we must compare the whole vote of the province. I have, therefore, taken the trouble to go over the whole vote of the province of Ontario after the election held in 1891. 1 also took the returns see corrected by the bye•efeotions, a number of which followed the general elections. I found that there wag, In Ontario, 180,- 000 Conservative votes polled, in round numbers, and 182,000 Liberal votes polled. It will be admitted by everybody that ten Conservatives should have as mooh power and iollnence et the polls es ten Liberals, or that 190 of one party should have as much power and indoonee at the polis as 100 of the other, or 1,000, or 100,000. Is that not a sound doctrine to advance ? If it is, let me proceed to my argument. If the argument is sound, 182,000 voters should return within one member of the number returned by 180,000 votes. Add- ing 186,000 and 182,000 gives you a total of 368,000 votes polled altogether in the province of Ontario. There ninety-two inembere elected, which made 4,000 votes as the average for each member. It will pa admitted that every 4,000 Liberal voters should have the same power and inflcenoe at the polls as every,4,000 Con• servative voters. But did they ? Let us see how we etood in this House ? We had thirty-three members representing the Liberal party after the election of 1891, and we had fifty-nine Conservative members representing the Conservative party, or, in other words, we had thirty- three hirtythree members representing 182,000 votes, and fatty -nine members representing 186,• 000 votes. How did that disparity come in ? Did it Dome in by chance ? Not at all. It came in by the action of the gerrymander in hiving large numbers of Liberals together in different electoral divisions, thus nullifying and neutralizing the power which they otherwise would have had of expressing themselves at the polls. For every 3,150 votes polled by the Conservatives they obtained a mem- ber to represent them in this House, but it required 5,550 votes to be polled by the Liberals to elect a Liberal member to represent them in this House. Can that bo explained upon any other ground than that the infinence of the Liberal party was neutralized se it was in South Huron and in North Oxford ? Here were 500 electors who had no influence inNorth Oxford, whose influence would have been felt if they had been allowed to remain in South or North Perth, and if they had not been put in a oonsbitueuoy where there was a Liberal majority of 908. The whole thing was wrong from beginning to end, and need you wonder that, at the first opportunity which is presented we are going to undo the wrong, as far as we can, that was per. pebrated in 1882 against the Liberate of this country. I want to draw the at• teution of the House to a fawother things and I am done- Whet are we going to nocomplish ? Whet are the results of the Bill bloat we are -now repealing ? I feel glad that I have hod the opportunity of giving ft o last Molt, as it withdraws its slimy coils from tlio statute•booke of Canada.
