These -white Grits* failed comple-

the real character of the agitation,
was using ' these efforts to secure the
•peace of the Territories, And in so
doing was "unconsciously blinding
the Government to the actual facts
of the ease, the, Grit conspirators
were rapidly consummating their vil-
hibions schemes. Even before Fath-
er :Andre's letter was written to
Lieutenant Governor Dewdney,
Mark Howe had written to George '
Purvis, seeretary of the Farmers'
Union that-- •
• There had not been, since the
commencement of the agitation
12 otter time to strike than tb, e pres-
ent. Everythingseems ripe for it.
I am certain seven -eights of the peo-
ple of,Winnipeo- are in our, favor,
and I am certain"four or five hundred
t'iocid'men will accomplish our object
withont any difficulty . whatever.
The fact of the matter is this,• we
have ,nbthing to resist us. The
military here isnothing More than a
pack of boys, and we have easy ao
Goss to the store rooms."
"Here is a conclusive proof that
these Grits had not only ,deceived
their:Conservative neighbors, but
the-oleity and the government, while
they had completed all the arrange-
ments for an open- rebellion against
the crown. At that time., nearly,
.every Grit journal in Canada was
encouraging and sympathizing with
Purvis,..lackson, Mediae and other
arch -conspirators of the Grit= frater-
nity. • •

founding fact of allm was that Ed.:
Ward Blake, the loader of 'Her

more recent friend of Louis Riel,
and the still' ni ore recent apostld of
