SEAFORTII, FRIDAY, May 29th, 1896
The Three -Hurons.
At the Conservative meeting, held in Sea -
forth on Friday last, Mr. Thomas E. Hays,
of this town, was selected as the Conserva-
tive candidate to oppose Mr. McMillan'
Mr 'lapis aT retired farmer, and having
nothing else of special importance to engage
his attention just now, he will answer the
purpose of the• party in South Huron as well
as any person else. He twice contested,
unsuccessfully, East Huron against Mr -
Thomas Gibson, for the Local Legislature.
The campaign on the Conservative side was
opnried in Seaforth on Wednesday evening.
On Tuesday afternoon posters were issued,
i
announcing a mass meeting to be addressed
by Sir James Grant, of Ottawa, and Mr. J'.
P. Whitney, the Oppoeition leader in the
Ontario Legislature.ir James was on
hand, but Mr. Whitney!failed to comeect,
and he must have got lost somewhere be-
tween here and Winghain, as he addressed a
meeting in that town on Tuesday evening.
Sir James is a nice, mild old gentleman, but
he is not much of a campaigner, and his
speech did not raise much enthusiasm. He
is a fluent, cultivated speaker, bat his ad-
dress was moderate in tone, although plaus-
ible and well put, It was well received by
the audience, buu all were disappointea,at
not having the promised opportunity of lis-
tening to Mr. Whitney. Mr. McMillan has
been holding a series of meetings in Hul-
lett this week, and will be in Stanley next
week. -The Conservatives of West Huron
have selected Mr. Robert McLean, of Gode-
rich, the well-known cattle buyer, 'as their
,
standard bearer. Mr. McLean is ;all right
in his special line, but he has not one single
qualification to recommend him for the
position -to which he aspires, and even leav-
ing politics ()aide, there is not much danger
of the people of West Huron passing over a
man of Mr. Cameron's well-lenown capabili-
ties for a man like Mr. Robert McLean. -
In East Haron, Mr. Dickenson is putting
up a good fight. He has had the assistance
of Mr. Whitney and other prominent cam-
paigners there, Vat his efforts will all prove
futile. Dr. McDonald is stronger in East
Huron to -day than, he ever was, and it is
almost a certainty that he will be elected by
a much larger majority than he ever had.
The three Hurons are all right.
"Sir Oliver's Bad Corapany."
Under the above heading, the Toronto
Mail gets off the following, with a column
more of the same kind :
Sir Oliver Mowat commences his cam-
paign in Beauharnois On behalf of Israel
Tarte. When the latiglit, determined to
throw himself into Federal politics, to take
all possible personal risks and to make all
ireaginable sacrifices, but, al the same time,
not to let go his Premiership, he closed his
eyes for the moment to the state of things
within his own party, -and declared for clean-
ness in administration, and the Abolition of
corruption. It is very singular that his first
job is a speech in support of Tarte.
The Mail would, no doubt, greetly oblige
its readers' and the public generally, by
stating plainly what it knows about Mr.
Tarte that renders him unfit to associate
with the very best men in either party, or,
fee that matter, outside of both parties. It
has, time and again, been challenged to do
so, but the most it can be got to do is to
indulge in taunts and, sneers, such as the
above. If Mr. Tarte is as bad a man, and
as dangerous a man, as the Mail would have
its readers believe, the public have a right
toknowit, and if the Mail has in .its pos-
session the facts th justify its taunts and in-
sinuations, it should place them at the dis-
posal of the public. It could not adapt any
more speedy and effective why of killing
Mr. Tart; and driving him from public
life, than to do so. If it does not possess
any such information, it is despicable and
cowardly to attack him in the manner which
it does. And what we etty of the Mail wile
apply with equal fore to other Conserva.
tive papers and politicians. Mr. Tarte has
been in public life for a, long time, and he
has held a seat in the Dominion Parliament
for many yea,r4. He has proved himself an
active, able and influential politician. He
has never attempted to hide hie light under
a bushel, nor has he ever shirked a contest
with a political opponent, either in or out of
Parliament, no matter how able' or powerful
his antagonist might be, and, as a iule, in
such contests, he has not come out second
best. He has, time and again, challenged
his detractors to make their accusations
against hiM, so that they could be investi-
gated in a court of law, and, foiling in that,
be has nequested them to make their
charges on the floor of Parliament, and he
pledged h mself to ask for a committee to
iuvestigo9i them. But, his detractors re-
fuse cithea tkappeal to a court of law or to
committeeh4s Parliament, although they
would has e a majority of their own friends
and peed ans on such a, committee. And
still they °ethane to try to discredit Mr.
Tarte by such insinuations as we quote
,?•
,
above. Now, we ask our readers, we care
._ .
not to what side of politics they belong, ia
not such conduct mean, cowardly and
despicable'
But there is a chapter in Mr. Tarbes po-
litical life which his opponent,' do • not care
very much to have placed before the public.
Mr. Tarte .was at one time a leading light
in the Conservative party, and Was the
right hand man of the 'Conservative leaders
in the ProVince of Quebec. In this capai-
ity he became possessed of the facts in coo-
nection with the McGreevy -Connolly scan-
dal. He laid the whole facts before his
leader, Sir John Macd'itfiald, who promised
to have the matter looked _into, and the
guilty parties punished. This Sir John
Macdonald failed to do, and Mr. Tarte,
having no other , resort, secured a seat in
Parliament, formulated his charges on the
floor of the House, asked for a committee of
investigation, and pledged his word that if
he did not prove every charge, he would be
‘quite willi g to be driven from public life in
disgrace. When' Mr. Tarte first -made his
charges he was laughed at by most people,
as it was c nsidered unreasonable to sup-
pose that Wait) men could be guilty of such
enormous ffences. His own party friends
urged him trongly to drop the matter, and
when he re used to do so, they turned upon
(
hint and bitterly denounced him as a
traitor. e paid no heed to their, taunts,
but persis d in demanding a committee of
the House o investigate his charges. This
committee was ultimately granted, and
Mr. Tarte tery soon made good his promise.
All will re ember the Connolly -McGreevy
revela.tions4 which so shocked the country.
It was pro en that hundreds of thousands
of dollars i ad been stolen from the publics
treasury, ad that, too, with the -connivance
of ocia1s high in power, and that even
Cabinet Knisters did not have clean skirts,
il
and which also resulted in the expulsion
from the C binet of Sir Hector Langevin
and the mprisonment of Thomas Mc-
Greevy an one of the Conoollys. This is
what Mr, arte has done. We are safe in
saying tie -a- few men in Canada have done'
better sery ea for -their country than he has,
and few m n hate risked more. He took
his politic life in his hand that he might
expose coy uption and wrong doing, not on
the part o his political opponents, hut on
the part • his political friends. He left his
party,whes it was in power, and had all the
favors of Mee and eniolnment at its dis-
posal, and "oined forces with a party in the
cold shades of opposition, with no reason-
able prosp ct of reaching power for many
years to co e. This is what Mr. Tarte has
.done, and it is for this, no doubt, that he
is being so fiercely abused by subsidized
Governme t organs of the stamp of the
Mail. We e Mr. Tarte the dishonest man
these poop would. lead us its believe him to
be, he won d never, have made the charges
which he tid in Parliament. He would
have profit ed from the spoils, and would
have joine with the rascals who were fill-
ing their p ckets out of the public purse.
Indeed, he might have had. his own price
either in oney or emolument, or both, to
withhold t e informatiotnwhich he had and
Which unm sked so many -and did such ter-
rible dama e to the credit and standing of
the Gayer ment, that they have not even
yet got ov r it. That he resisted all these
influences, shows him to be ethenan of cour-
age, of hon ir and honesty, and a man that
should be honored by the -people of this
country. t need not be wondered that Sir
Oliver Mo should go to the aid of such
man, and a sist in securing him a seat in
Padiamen These are the stamp of men
that Canada wants ; men who can neither
be bought. or bullied to betray thein coun-
try, 'or per it others to do so with their
knowledge.
The Sou h Huron Mass Meeting.
The folio mg report of the. Conservative
Mass mee ing held in Seaforth on Friday
last appear d in the Mail of Saterday. It
will cause t'one who know the real situation
to smile. Further comment is not neces-
sary. The Mail says:
A mass meeting of Conservatives was
held here o -day, and resulted in placing ,
Mr. Thot as E. Rays in the field as
standard -be rer for South Huron. Every
munieipalit in the riding was represented,
and great e thusiasm was manifested. The
meeting adj urned for one hour to attend
the funera of the mother of the vice-
president, I r. E. C. Coleman.
Upon re sembling Dr. Bethune led off
with a telli g speech on the general pelicy
of the Gove nment: Mr. Hays, the can-
didate, was the next speaker, and was
greeted wi h rounds of applause. His
speech was •ull of vim, which augurs well
for a victorious result, and old South
Huron will again range itself under the
Conservativ banner.Mr. Louis P. Kribs
was in exce lent form, and deal chiefly'
with the lanitoba school quest'on, con-
vineing eve body present that the Govern-
ment has' ight and justice on ts side.
Mayor Gun1 reviewed the politi 1 situa-
tion, which was received with reat ap-
plause. Ex Mayor Holmested de It with
the tariff u stion in a comprehensa e man-
ner,; and Secretary Morrison close with a
telling add •ess. It may be looke for that
South Her n will be dead in line with the
Conservativ party on the 23rd of June.

,
por s a were nmente that it has denounced
hundreds of imes 'at being corrupt, simply
thr8ugh feaul that if this corrupt govern.'
ment is defe tad, Protection may be inter-
fered with. Now, the News should be
consistent. h he ahiep labor law protects
the working en of t e United States and
is simply ext nding the protection system to
the labor o the co ntry. In Canada we
protect capit 1 up to the hilt, but we allow
labor to take care of itself.
At a mass meeting n East Toronto, Mr.
Foster, Minister of Finance, Eought to ex-
cuse the ext e.vagance and corruption of the
Dominion 0 vernrnent by citing the extras--
agence and c irruption of the Mereier Govern-
ment of the rovince of Quebec, This is a
style of ergo ent which should be beneath a
gentleman f Mr. Foster's position and
staridingr he should leave it to Sam Hughes
and other su h like small bore politicians.
It is quite true that the 31ercier Govern -
anent proveo. both corrupt and. extrava-
gant, but the Mercier Government was
turned from office as soon as their short I
comings became known, and Mr., Mercier
himself, once the most powerful man,
politically, in Quebec, was driven from pub -
lie life. It was Mr. Mercier's ow politic,'
friends and supporters that did th a. Now,
if the Conservatives of Canada ill show
'themselves as patriotic as the iberals of
Queoee, and' show that they by honesty
better, than party, they will now s t to work
and put the present Dominion verninent
out of power, at, it has been pr• ven, over
and over again, to be many ti es more
corrupt than was the Mercier Go erinnent.
Are the Conservatives of Ontaris any leeit
sensitive as to the honor of their • ublic men
than are the Liberals of Quebec If they -
are not, the Tupper Government will cees;
to exist very soon after the 23r of Jun
next.

there will not be funds enough i the l)o-

The Globe also gives the names f several
Conservatives who refuse to foll w Tupper
and have come out,on the Liberal side. We
fancy, therefore, if the numbersev re count-
ed up on either side, the Liber Is woUld
have by a good deal the longest lit, espec-
ially if those be included who hauje pledged
themselves to vote against the re edial bill,
which is the leading plank in th TupPer
platform. e *
During the last session of the Dominion
Parliament, Sir Charles Hibbe t Tupper
recommended the payment to Mr. Goodwin
the contractor on,one of the secti ns of the
Soulanges canal, of $210,900. Th Liberels
insisted that the claim should be ubmitted
to the adjudication of a court. It has now
been submitted, out according to Ottawa
despatch the claim has been r duced to
$79,000.
The reason why so little is
about the deficits during the Liber
may be found in the following
ficits that have oecurred under
now sa d
I regi e,
list of de-
ory ens -
piece: 1879, $1,937,999; 1880, $1543,27;
1885, $2,240,058; 1886, $5,834,5 1 ; 1888,
$810,031; 1894, $1,210,332; 1895J $4,000,-
'000; total,' $17,576,218. Howev r, a de-
ficit in itself, is no evidence of wa teful, ex-
travagant, or corrupt expenditum1e, in So
much as it only shows that the axes eel-
lected from the people have not 4niounted
to as much as the disbursements by the
Government. If the fact of having deficits
was the most serious charge that could be
hurled against the present Government,'
they -would have a very clean rec rd, and
would be well entitled to the conti ued con-
ficlefice of the people. But, unfor unately,
it is not. If the financial ma agement
had been as economical, as prude t and as
honest as it should have been, a Ii eral sue -
plus might have been recorded eac year in-
stead of a deficit, and that, too, without
any additional taxation. It is for their Ex-
penditures and not for their clef its that
the Government are blameable. •
