I said my reason for taking! year 1885, was because it was the year for which We had any offical re the Public accounts for 1886 not having been issued. Mr. Narhite, rister, of St. Marys, who followed stated that I was endeavoring to ceiye the audience, as the public counts for 1886 have been issued, the. reasen I took 1885 as a compa was that theexpenditure of 1886 shown by the public aceounts, is 1 than that of 1885. Now, for the f The fiscal year does not end until 31st of December, and the acco must,. by law, be submitted to Legislature . before they can given to the Public, hence the end of the fiscal year has not arrived it is impossible- the public counts for 1880 can yet be printe .published and consequently my s ment was absolutely correct and White's absolutely false. I will the last orsl, yet Bar - me de- ac - and isoans ger sts : the nts the be as yet ac - Or ate - Mr. rive Mr. White $500 if he will show ma an official copy of the Public Accounts of the Province of Ontario for 1886 within one month from this date. Again, I st ted that the surplus of the Mowat Gov rn- ment at the end of 1885 was six a d a half millions of dollars. Mr. 'V hite said this was another mis-statem nt, that there is no surplus and that it can not be shown by the public acco ats. Now, if Mr. White will refer to S ate- ment No. 3, page 18 of the Public !Ac- counts of Ontario for 1885 he will t sere find a statement Of the receipts and expenditures for that year and he vi1l there see that the balance of receipts over expenditures was $6,526,558L72, and this statement is certified to by C. 11. Sproule, auditor. I would have made these statements at the time bat I did not have a copy of the publicaccounts with me and I knew it was uselesa to make a denial before such a man unless I had the official documents to place under his nose, and as I may not!ave another opportunity of meeting hits on - the platform I take this means of es ale-- lishing my veracity and I call upon Ir. White to retract his statements or stand before the world ae a public falsifie M. Y. MCLEAN. I claimed, hawever, tabs) a temperance man and a aandidate in the temperance interest, and made a gross, personal attack on Mr. Bishop by accusing him of being not only a violator of the Scott Act hineself, but of, inducing others to violate it. 1, Mr. Bishop in his reply gave the chargea flat contradiction and de- fined his platform on the temperance question. He said he defied any man to show' that during his twenty-four years public municipal and parliament- ary career t at he was opposed in any way to temperas (se and morality, and he was prepared tb pledge himself to continue that course. He did not claim to be a total abatainer, but in that respect Mr. Swinerton, notwithstanding all his is no better than he is,, as ve that Mr. Swinerton had having very recently drank beer in a private house in he dared Mr. Swinerton to tatement. More than this professions he could pr admitted t a glass of Exeter an. deny this' 6n the Satu day previous to his coming out as a caaididate Mr. Swinerton had a,ccompanie 1 a deputation, composed at least partlyrf hotelkeepers, to the town- ship of St phen to ask Mr. Ratz, the Reeve of Fatteph,en, to Mime out as a can- didate in the Conservative interests, and Mr. Ratz sins and is one of the most bitter oppoaents of the Scott Act in the county of aliuron, and had Mr. Ratz ac- cepted this! offer Mr,. Swinerton would not have been a candidate. In view of these statet lents, which he dated Mr. Swinerten o deny, (he waited for Mr. Swinerton'sdenial, but Mr. Swinerton made no re)ly) he thought the temper- ance people aveuld have no difficulty in seeing that -06r interests are as safe in his • (Mr. ,lafehop's) hands, who its not afraid to state openly and above board what he will do, as with Mr. Swinerton, who makes 1oud professions one way and who acts ariather. The meeting closed with three: !cheers - for the Queen, a,nd three for 1fr. Bishop and the Mowat Governmentt Roxboro.
