Heaven also .knows 'that jb• is is better
than it was, if electioneering any-
thing to judge by.;
The natal election of thi8 banner,
province of Ontario—how they sued
to dwellon that banner -.was held
simultaneously with the first election
for the Dominion of Canada That
was the case with all four of the pro-
vinces which combined into the con-
federation of 1887. The united pro-
vinces of Upper and Lower Canada,
became the separated provinces .-of
Ontario and Quebec. Liberals and
Conservatives had made a Union Gov-
ernment to bring about confederation.
But. George Brown, the fiery Scot who
led the Liberals into and out of glob-
ular wildernesses did not stagy in the
same cabinet with the wilier Scot,
Macdonald, long. after confederation
was. accomplished. When the Do-
minion and Upper Canada, re -oriented
as Ontario, had to start on their car-
eers he inspired a revival of the Lib-
eral party at a convention in Toronto,
attended by six hundred delegates.
MacDougall and Howland, who had
remained with Macdonald, defended
their action before the convention.
Brown denounced them and all their
works, and the convention showed
itself as vehemently devoted to fight-
ing its own battle as the U. F. 0.
conventions do when anybody runs
foul of their passionate devotion to
what, with very little debate, they
sometimes treat as their settled pol-
icy.
In a mild way, we saw a repetition
of what happened in 1867 in Ontario,
fifty-six years ago, when the prov-
inces of Saskatchewan and Alberta
were created in 1905. Somebody had
to be called on to form a provincial
government.. Ottawa chose the Lieu-
tenant -Governor, and choosing. him
decided whom he should invite to form
the first. government. • Laurier, in
1905 saw to it that two Liberals were
asked to launch the new governments
on the prairies. In 1867 a Macdbnald
of Ontario, chose a Macdonaki for
Ontario. Sandfield Macdonald, of
Cornwall. had ranked as a Liberal,
before the confederation coalition be-
got what still likes to call itself, in
notices of meetings, the Liberal -Con-
servatives party. His government
of five contained three so-called Lib-
erals—hiinkelf, Wood and Richards --
and two so-called Conservatives—Car-
ling and Cameron.
The object, of course, was to keep
th? Liberal party, in impotence. The
"No -party" cry worked, as it had
worked .bef ore in other countries
when fresh starts were being made,
and as it has worked since nearer
home. The Liberals at Toronto and
Ottawa were weak minorities. Their
provincial leader was Archibald Mc-
Kellar, o3 Kent. But in the House
he was overshadowed by Edward
Blake, who also put the premier in
the shade. Blake became the official
Liberal leader, and made the most of
his opportunities. It seems strange,
in these timet, that men should sit-in
1 both provincial and dominion cham-
bers. Blake was M. Pifer West Dur-
ham and M. P. P. for South Bruce.
The Sandfield Macdonald govern-
ment:, though it was attacked as be-
ing a mere puppet of Ottawa, was
economical in its administration and
progressive in its legislation. Its
standard of administrative ethics was
in keeping with the spirit of its own
times, and its methods were cruder
than political parties will champion
to -day. The practice of spending as`
much as possible n constituencies,.
which elected supporters of the goo:•
ernment was naked and unashamed.
One time a deputation from Strath-
roy asked the premier for some lin-
proved service in the '`town. They
were disappointed, but not astounded,
when he answered: "What has
Strathroy done for me?"
Those were days, too, when the
policy of provincial aid to railways
flourished. The legislature voted a
million and a half dollars far railway
aid, but- the government did not deign
to tell the House what roads were tp
get it. Money for institutions --for
the blind, the deaf and dumbs, and
insane—was also voted; but , not a
-word was said as to where the cash
was to be spent. What was the use
of having control of expenditures and
not making them where they would
bring the most votes to the govern-
ment? Blake fulminated- against
this sort of thing, but on the House
seemed to make little impression.
Kissing went by favor, so did lunatic
asylums.
But the government was legislat.
ively progressive. The agriculture

of mensittligle two parliaments at
the satne e -the first session of
the dominion Ornament was'adjou ni;
ed for three *meths to allow the pro-
vincial le 1
Hires to meet. The pro-
pO en' also felt a direct
concern aboiOttawa because of the
cession of sem 1 provincial -rights td_
the confedey n, including certain
powers ofp `on. With bis eye .on
the 'eleetfolake 'had moved two
resolutions w h at this, date seem
to have haid'Yritlle bearing on Ontario
provincial adniinietration. Qne was
a thirteen -sectioned declaration in
favor of betderternls for Nova Scotia,
where Joe Howe, the Liberal orator,
was making: sorts, of trouble a-
gainst lull the confederatign. The
other was .full of indignation against
Louis Riel for the executibn of Thos.
Scott at Fort Garry, though a year
bad passed since the murder.
This `runt election on an Ontario
government's' record was notable be-
causeit brought Alexander Macken -
into provincial treasurer. Macken-
zie was leader of the Liberal apposi-
tion at Ottawa, where he represented
the county of Lambton. Sandfleid
Macdonald dissolved the House with-
out warning, and hurried pn the poll-
ing. Mackenzie was invited to run for
West Middlesex.
Mackenziewas well known by re-
pute, of course, but scarcely anybody
in the riding had even seen him or his
portrait. Strathroy was the capital
of West Middlesex, and ' Mackenzie
had the platform and press support
of the editor of the Strathroy Age,
George rg a Ross who had stepped into
journalism from the scboolroom and
was having his first experience of
frequent political speaking, though he
had already a, high local fame as an
orator and had contested the Liberal
nomination .for the Commons in 1867.
Mackenzie's opponent was the sitting
member, Nathaniel Currie, .whose
name is represented nowadays by Sir
Arthur --Currie, soldier and college -
president, and Harold Currie, the
vice-president of the U. F. 0., who
says "Progressive" as applied to a
farmers' party is a nickname.
People who suppose that Alexander
Mackenzie was a failure as the first
Liberal premier of Canada because
he was too timid to be a statesman
and too honest to be a politician don't
know' how effective he Was in debate
or how Swift he could be in repartee.
In the third decade of the twentieth
century it if becoming too much, like
rooting' in the past for men to call
themselves Grits. But it is worth
while recalling r passage about Grit -
ism at one of Mackenzie's West Mid-
dlesex meetin8g'e�;;,,,, He was extolling
jejs,•prefq'les. Woyalty to principle..
"On all questions of principle the
Liberal party is not only Liberal," he
said, "but clear Grit all through."
Charlie McIntosh, the editor of the
Tory Despatch,. of Strathroy, called
from the audience; "What do yon
mean by 'clear Grit?'" Mackenzie
me back in his -unconquerably Doric
accent: "Clear grit is pure sand
%sta but a particle otdirt in it."

ment emerged from -the election with
a sort of Drurian majority. Its

Instead of asking, or an adjournment
as soon' as a s r was elected Mac-
donald went on•with business, Blake
_assailed the government;
and finally
defeated it on B-srote of want of con-
fidence. Macdonald resigned, Blake
became premier. just before Christ-
mas, 1871, taking Mackenzie as his
treasurer. Then Ottawa got busy.
During a session that lasted only less
than nine weeks, an act wag passed in-
hibiting a member of a provincial
legislature from sitting in the House
of commons. Blske and, Mackenzie
were the only twoimen to whom the
act applied. They . did what Andy
Hicks says Drury would like to do.

• Sandfield Macdonald also.abolished
the foolish old custom of spreading
elections over several days, and gave
us what we now have. The open
vcting used to be long drawn out. In
some localities partisan feeling was
so high and so foolish that men of
the minority party were frequently
shoved away from the voting table
for days. Another 'abuse corrected
by. Sandfield Macdonald was that elee-
tion petitions were no longer tried by
:a committee of the house, on which,
`of course, the government invariably
'had a majority, bolt were decided by
ifigh court judges.
The first election on which the re-
cord of a government of the province
of Ontario was submitted to the elec-
torate yeas held in March, 1871. There
-had been a good deal of political by-
play during the sessions. Both par-
ties acted, at time8,,aii if their chief
'business was to act as Peacemakers
for their friends at Ottewit. This
Oliver Mowat in 1894 was harassed
by forty-eight three -cornered fights, i
with a -farmer candidate in each of
the forty-eight. By a strange turn in
nomenclature the farmers were call-
ed Patrons of Industry. Goodness
knows; in -the early nineties the farm-
er's lot,was not a happy one. Prices
were down to a pitiful nadir. The
national policy, it was said,. was a
failu're as far As rural Canada was
concerned. The tariff in aid of man-
ufactures was robbing the, farmer
without giving him the home market
that was to be his salvatibn.
The patrons were mainly concern-
ed, with dominion issues; but when
the farmer has a boil he's apt to
heave a brick at anybody who is with*
in reach and whp tells him he ought
to rejoice in boipx as free coolers of,
the, blood. The. Patrons waded into
provincial .politics. Their main de-
mand was that country officials' be
elected popularly instead of being
appointed' by the provincial govern -
he would never consent to he his
wife's ientleman usher.
Whitney appealed' to the province
in the suiarrier of 1908, and came back ,
again with a smashing majority. Al-
