mina to Their Own• Inconsist-
encies.
It is strange how blind some peo-
.
own expressed views' a.nd opinions
onthe Dual Representation question,
and to injure their 'opponents, and
not for the good of the country.

Simultaneous One-Day
If there is one measure i:ssed by
the Ontario Legislatute, ce its es-
tablishment, whioh has given more
general satisfaction- to the people
of this Province than another, that
measure is the one providing for
simultaneous one -day polling. The
benefits of this aystem are manifold.
Under the old . sylitem double the
necessary time wits consumed in the
pie can be to the 'failings and incon-
sistencies of f eirf own political
friends, while thet are ever thorough-
ly awake to detectthe least flaw
. .
which may show itself in the con-
sistency of their opponents. This
peculiarity is made most apparent
just now in the conduct of certain
prominent Government organs and
Eupporters. ' These virtuous purists
seem to consider it a mighty crime
for certain members of the Refor-in
Party in the House of Commonto
vote against any .motion which has
for its object the abolition of Dual
Representation, no matter by whom.
that motion is brought forward; or
for what object. A few evenings
ago the Bill of Mr, Costigan came
up for the second reading'. This
Bill provides that in ea?h Province
where Dual Representation has been
prohiated, no member, of the Local
Legislature can be eligible as a can-
didate for the House of Conimone.
The Bill, therefore, as will be seen,
'strikes at the very foundation of the
Dual .'Representation system, and
sweeps it off entirely. This is what
the Reform party -have been .con-
tendinglor for years. But on this
occasion the members of that party
in the House of Commons argued
that the Bill was of a personal char-
aeter, that is was proposed for the.,
Role purpose of compelling Messrs.!
Blake and Mackenzie either to re-
sign theirtseats in the Ontario Leg-
islature and Government, or aban-
don their intentions of running for
the House of Commens, and thus
embarrass and weaken the'party in
this Provinee, and they, with ,the
exception of Mr. Blake, voted'
. against it That those who opposed
the Bill took the proper view of its
° object, we have .not the slightest
_doubt, but we .do not think that
they_ acted properly or consistently
in voting against it.. This Bill af-
firmed a 'principle which they have
long and strenuously 'contended for,
anci no matter what the object of its
1110Ver was, they should have stuck
to theirtformer professions and prin-
ciples and -voted for it. This Mr.
Blake did, and he acted properly,
and we think it would: have been
better had the Reform representa-
tives generally foilowed his example.
t By so doing they would have depriv-
ed theii opponeets of a victory, and
would have shown to the world that
they placed principle before party,
which -should at all tiines be done.
But, admitting as we have, frank-
ly, that in this vote tiae majvity of
estif the Reform party did not eAright,
- does this justify their opponents in
casting stones at them for their in-
consistency? Have these opponents
acted any more consistently ? It is
well known that the whole Govern-
ment party have favored Dual Re-
presentation from the commence-
ment. Every single individual of
them, from John A. Macdonald
down to Tom Ferguson, have de-
clared ite itsfavor time and again.
Even during the last session of
Parliament, theyvoted to a !nen
against the very Bill. which they
now wish to force through the House.
. if, in former times, theaupporters of
the present Government considered
Dual Representation was riglat, mid
for the interests of the country at
large that the systeni should be con-
tinued', how is. it that they have so
suddenly changed their minds, and
now vote for a measure whkti will
entirely wipe out of existence the
very system which they six months
ago upheld . and defended 7 The
sole reason which can be assigned
for this sudden icon version is, that
they saw that Mr. Cestigan's Bill.
would undoubtedly injure their op-
ponents; and in order to thus benefit
their party -they sacrificed their prin-
ciples. In view of these plain facts,
it ill becomes the friends and sup-
porters of such a party to sneer at
and condemn othersfer inconsistent
actions when they themselves were
by far .. the most inconsistent. The
less the organs and friends of the
present political party in power say
about the vote upon Mr. Costiganrs
Bill, the better it will be for that
isarty, as the course plumed by ite
leaders, in View of their former pro-
fessions, was anything but honest.
Although the principle of the Bill
elections, the excitement and bitter
feelings usually engendered by a po-
litical contest were kept alive much
longer, and the expense to both can-
didate and 'electors was very much
increased. As is known, the late
Ontario elections were conducted
under the new system, that is, the
elections in all the. constituencies in
the Province tc®k place on the seine
day, and lasted but one day. By
this mode one day was saved to
'the elector, which, in a busy season
of the year, is a, very material con-
sideration. Besides this, instead of
allowing the turinoil a„nil excitement
to extend over Etperiod of one or two
months, the whole thing was settled
in a .day. The effect -upon business
was not perceptible, and peace and
quietness were but little disturbed.
But, there is another very important
consideration in connection with this
matter. it is a well known fact
that most of the bribery, buying,
and corruption practiced, is perpe-
trated on the second day. At the
close of the first day, each candidate
has had a pretty fair test of his real
strength.. The one therefore who
stands lowest on the list knows that
titre remains still a night and a day
for him to work. The result is, as
every one who has ever taken part
in a political contest well knows, all
doubtful parties are visited. on that
night, and if they cannot be induced
by fair means to avote as desired,
foul means are always tried, and are
very frequently successful. lJnder
the systeni adopted in this Province,
however, there is no opportunity of-
fered for corruption of this kind.
One day decides the fate of the can-
didates, and there is conseqteently
not the necessity nor the temptation
for using. before the election the
questionable means that there is
when the result is pertially decided.
In addition to this, under the old
system, the Government of theday
have it in their power,—and they
almost invariably exercise that
po wea—to bring on the elections
in the constituencies where they
know their friends to bo strongest
first, and so influence the elections
in more doubtful constituencies. By
this means a fair and honest expres-.
sion.of public opinion is not obtain-
ed, as there is always a number of
loose fish in every constituency, who
will go with the winning party.
But, when all. the elections take
place on the same day, no influence
of this kind can be breught to bear
upon -weak-minded or undecided
porsonae\aad they will be likely to,
vote as their consciences dictate to
thein is right. So that, it will be
seen, both in a mokal end .pecuniary
point.of view, the system of conduct-
ing elections adopted by 'Ontario is
the preferable one.
No doubt, feeling -this, and know-
ing by experience the advantages
pertaining to the one -day system,
Mr. Blake, a few days ago, intro-
duced a Bill into the House of Com -
MOUS which provided that the elec-
tions for that House should also
take place in each Province simul-
taneously, and last but one day.
This proposition did not meet the 1
views of the Dominion grovernment
They knew well the benefits which
would accrue to the country from it,
but they also knew the facilities
Which the old- two -days reystent of-
fered for corrupting, debauching and
bribing Ihe constituents. - They are
determined, if possible, to retain
their seats for another parliamentary
term, and in order to do this they
felt that they would require to take
advantage of all the opportunities
for corruption which the old law af-
forded them. So, Sir John took it
upon himself to move that the Bill
of Mr. Blake be read six months
hence, and, to their shame be it said,
a majority of the poople's represen-
tatives voted for his motion. In de-
fence_ of this extraordinary conduct,
neither Sir John nor his friends of-
fered one word of excuse or apology.
They could not bring forward any
just arguments against the Bill, and
all they could' do was to sullenly
and doggedly vote it down. We
can not remember of a more .dis-
creditable transaction in Parliamen-
tary history, and we trust it may be
long before the country is again dis-
graced by similar conduct.

Ne-wspaper Parliamentary Re-
ports.
A hort time ago we Copied into
these, columns a paragraph from the
prosPectus of the Toronto Hail, in
whicti it was premised that the Par-
liamentary debates would be fully
and freely given in its .columns ;
tlaat the speakers of both political
parties would be dealt fairly with,
and that equal justice would be done
to all. We took occasion to state,
state of things was the object of the
bill. What were the objections to
the bill? Why, that the Senators
were a very honorable respectable
body. But is not the House of
0OMMOI1S an honorable body? Are
not our judges honorable men? . Yet
the independence of the Commons
and the judiciary is carefully
guarded by statute. Sir John him-
self evidently saw the weakness of
such a position, and, as is his cus-
tom, made up in abase of his oppon-
ents what he lacked in argument.
He raked together all Mr. M. C.
Cameron's well-worn slanders in con-
nection with local politics and flung
them at the beads of Mr. Mckenzie
and Mr. Blake as if they were some-
thing very telling in the -way of op-
position to the bill. Mr. Blake
coolly replied that he had come to the
determination not to discuss local
politics in this House under any
provocation, and he would not do so
now further than to allude to the
intetference of the Dominion Gov-
ernment in the local elections, and
to the proven attempt of a Minister
of the Crown to bribe a member of
the Nova Scotia Legislative Council.
This brought Dr. Tupper to his feet
in a great rage. Dr. Tupper belongs
to the school of muscular oratory.
He is nothing if not furious. On
this occasion he overshot the mark.
He boldly defended the McNab
scandal, and then launched forth in-
to abuse of Mackenzie and Blake,
with a vigor of expression that
could not be excelled beyond
Billingsgate. He bade adieu to
facts, and gave the reins to bis
imagination, now catching at some
of M. C. Cameron's old slanders, and
anon whirling away in hitherto un-
explored regions of abuse and villifi-
cation, raving, storming, shouting,
smiting his desk, striking out his ,
arms, almost choking at times as
words mole abusive than their pre-
decessors struggled for utterance,—
such a roaring, bellowing, mad -
cap's antics were never before wit-
nessed in. this House. But the
Flouse is used to Dr. Tupper, and
his roarings frightened nobody.
His loftiest flights were greeted wit.'").
laughter. He fancied he was de-
molishing his opponents; he was
only making himself ridiculous. In
his rage he foi got his ordinary cun-
ning, and did not preserve even
enough of truth to give a color to
his slanders, but made such absurd
statements, jumbled up the names of
Mackenzie and Blake in such a
riciculous manner, and made Ma
a strange mixture of facts, that his
best friends bad. to acknowledge
that be was going too far in bis
favorite branch of oratory, and was
making a fool of himself. He sat
down covered with ridicule and
)erspiration, and Mr. Blake at once
rose. Mr, Blake is a man of strong
temper' and it costs him a sevele
teffort to preserve bis equanimity in
the hearing of slanders which affect
his personal honor. He saw, how-
ever, the folly of replying to state-
ments which all the House were
laughing at for their, obvious absur-
dity, and he was perfectly master of
himself, and quietly remarked that
the statements of Dr. Tupper with
regard to himself were absolutely
Untrue. If there was any stronger
form of Parliamentary expression
conveying the same idea he desired
to be understood as having used it.
And then he sat down, and. the
House cheered him, recognizing that
he had made the very best answer
that could have been made consistent
with his Own position and the digni-
ty of the place. The members were
then called in, and a majority voted
that it was quite right and proper
• that Government of the day should
have power to fill one branch of
the Legislature with their paid of-
ficers.
ONTRO'V*• RTED ELECTIONS.
The system of the trial of contro-
verted elections by judges, has proved
so successful in England and On-
tario, as compared with the old
system, that very little objection
was taken to Mr. Blake's bill per se.
Sir John himself admitted that it
might be well to adopt the new plan
at smite future time. But what was
his objection to it now? Why, that
the administration of justice being
in the hands of the local Legislature, -
the Dominion Parliaraent had no
right to impose these additional
duties on the judges. When the
Snpreuae Court was established, and
the Dominion came to have judges
of its own, then these duties of try-
ing election cases might be imposed
on them. A moment's reflection
will show how little force there is
in such an objection. Why, the
Dominion Parliament is continually
imposing duties on the judges.
What _are the functions of a judge
To see that the laws are enforced
—general as well as local. Nearly
every act passed by the Dominion
Parliament gives soraething for the
judges to do. If the doctrine of the
Premier were correct, we ought to
have two sets of judges—one to try
cases corning under the loeal law,
and the other to look after infrac-
tions of the general law. It matter-
ed little though how- absierd was the
objection; call itt the raemben ;
at the time, that if these promises
were faithfully carried out, it would
be a new and commendable feature
in journalistic reporting. The reads-
ers of that journal, however, who
placed faith in that promise, must,
ere this, feel sadly deceived, as its
parliamentaryt reports are almost
equally, as partizan and one-sided as
its editorial articles. We would
scarcely now find fault with this
feature in the management of our
contemporary, were it not for the
loud professions of honesty of inten-
tion and purpose which were then
made. Time, by thee professions
endeavoring to mislead those who
may not have an oppotunity of pe-
rusing other reports of the Parlia-
mentary proceedings than are given
in its columns, and who from its
piofessions - of honesty believe them,
to be fair and full reports, while the
very reverse is the case. During
the present session we have found it
impossible to get anything like at
fair import of the Parliamentary de-
bates in either the Globe ox the
Mail. Each of these papers report
the speeches of their own friends
very fully, while those of their. op-
ponents are so condensed as at times,
to be almost rneaninglesa. We have
found that the only way to get a
fair report is to read the speeches of
the friends of the Government as
given in the iiiail, and the speeches
ot opposition members as reported
by the Globe. In this way, a very
fair report of what has really been
said can be got.

vote down the bill, and it was done.
Elvin, Our Own Correspondent.
arrewe, May 25, 1872.
Mr. Blake has proposed to the
House three bills of great practical
value to the country, each of which
was disposed of by the Government
with a flippancy approaching con-
tempt, which can only come of dis-
regard for the wants of the people.
The first of these was a bill provid-
ing for holding the general eleetioes
°none and the same day. The exist-
ing system,, Mr. Blake pointed out,
gives the Government an advantage
over the Opposition, and therefore
interfeees with the true expression
of the popular will. The only ob-
jection raised to the one day plan
as that electors having votes in two
irmore constituencies would have
e opportunity of voting - only in
one. TO this there were two an-
swers. First, to carry out the argu-
ment tci- its legitimate conclusion,
no two elections should be held in one
day, for if two were held who could
say but some electors might have
votes in both? Secondly, the one -
day plan really works - no practical
injustice. For instance, a man with
$20,000 worth of property in the
constituency has but one vote, why
shoteld his neighbor have half a
dozen votes on .properity that is no
more valuable simply because it is
divided among half a dozen. con-
stituencies7 At any rate, why
should a system which works ex-
clusively to the advantage of the
Government of the day be kept up
solely for his benefit '? And after
all the proportion of those who have
votes in more than one constituency
andsould use them under the ex-
isting system is exceedingly small.
The, real objection of the Govern-
ment to the . bill was that it would
tak'd out of their hands a power
which they intend to use to their
own advantage at the coming elec-
tions. So the bill was thrown out
on motion of Sir John Macdonald
with scarcely a WOI d of argument.
INDEPENDENCE OF THE SENATE,
The next bill propose by Mr.
,
Blake, was to further secare the in-
dependence of the Senate. It simp-
ly proposed to apply to the Senate
the existing law with reference to
the Commons-, which prevents any
member from holding any dace of
emolument under the Crown. Under
the present law, the -Government of
the day can fill the Senate ;vith
placemen as fast as vacancies occur.
And it is a fact that there now sits
e--
m the Senate a gentleman (Mr. Me-
Lelan of Nova Scotia), who firott
came into the Commons five years
ago, a bitter opponent of the Gov-
ernment. He now draws $4,000 a
year from the Government as Rail-
way Conimissioner, and, of course, is
a steady supporter of all their mea-
sures. And the Government have
power to fill every vacaney in the
Senate as it occurs with just such
hirelings. To do away with this
at,
DUAL REPRESENTATION,.
Mr. Costigan, of New Brunswick,
proposed a bill to compel members
of the Local Legislatures in those
provinces where Dual -Representa-
tion is net allowed, to resign their
seats before becoming candidates for
the House of Consmons. The object
of this measure was obvious. It was
aimed chiefly at Mr, Mackenzie and
Mr. Blake. There was ieelly no
principle involved in it. No one
supposed that it was intended to
correct any evil. Gentlemen who
did not believe in Dual Representa-
tion mignt quite consistently vote
against it, because the evil of Dual
Representation consises in a roan
exercising the functions of both
Legislatures, not in his merely offer-
ing himself as a- candidate for one
while he exercises the functions of
the other. But how a man 'ho
believes that it is right and proper
for a man to exercise the functions
of both, could consistently hold that
it is wrong for him to merely be n.
candidate for one, while he sits in
the other, is more than your coxres-
pondent can tell. All he knows is
that the very men who a short time
before voted that it was right for a
a roan to sit in both Legisletures,
voted now that it was wrong for him
to beconae a candidate for one, while
he sat in the other. Where then is
