THUHSDAY. SHPFE.MH1CH8TH, 1898.
ONE THIATO AND ANOTHER.
The Liberal organs are not now rail-
ing at the 11 Reptile Press " which, fit
the old days of Tory rule, was their
favorite thLwe, 11orhapd it is too
much to expect tile local editors to do
so, as one has secured a fat office for
his bKother and miother, by ineans best
known to (lie initiated, it profitablo
harbor contract. The acceptance of
favors utich its these, following tile
former line of argtiment used by tile
Liberal new,spapers, PrOVeRtS Atli till- i
biased criticisio of the Goverililivilt . In I
Short constitutes a partisan, or, its titey
were Wont to toral it, a *1 Reptile
Press." The two cases fit point inost
convenient to call tip are the Goderieb
Signal find the Clinton New Era.
* .
If the Latnier Jovevinxient intended
to humbug the Prohibitionists,'and the
indications all point that WILY, they
could not have inade a better initiative
effort than by narning September 29th
as polling day. For one reason,at that
date the lists of '07 will,in the majority
of constituencies, have to be usect and,
ns a change of residence disfranchises
an, elector, this alone will make it vast
difference. Not holding off the voting
until the January elections will further
add to tile list of absentees, so many
being indiffetent one way or the othen.
,
. .
.
But'ill adoiLloll to lessening thevote,
this pl-olilitture date will enable
the Grit wive -pullers and hangers-on
to ,mliare in the distribution of the
$2-50,000 voted by Parliament for
plebiscite expenses. Clinton, for Ili -
stance, with its twenty-four officials,
will share handsomely. All will be. of
the righbeloth, .is a Inlitter of covirse.
The division of the quarter of it million
aniong tho faithful and an early date.
for the polling are both considered ex-
cellent tactical moves by the Liberals,
* .
.
By the way the Clinton Now Era hits
stated that Sir Wilfred Laurier hits
promised, definitely, to introduce avid
rise his influence to force divough Par-
'
hament, A prohibitory liquor law, in
the event of the plebiscite sectiring it
imijority vote. The editor of our con-
temporary must Ile a, very intimate
friend of the present Premier to be in
At position to make any such assertion
and, we fear, in doing so is violating
the confidence of Sir Wilfred. No one
else appears to have beard him speak
so freely, at least it is is not so on
record, so that we are, pardonably we
hope, curious to learn the date, place
and exact wording of the Premier's
pledge. Will tile New Era have the
kindness to oblige via in this inatter. Of,
course we shall expect, Jand so sball
. others, that this pledge, of which we
have so lately been inforkried, will Ile
so simple that be who runneth alay
�
read and as quickly comprebend. I .

The. Seaforth E'xpositor had its
doubts, temporary and soon suppress-
ed, as to the details in connection with
f1he granting or the Goderich harbor
contract, but like the lady, who re-
- - - ' sff-veg t" MM interesting item -in -Ire,r-
letter for the 11. S,, So the Expoeitor
wound ill) its editorial in a paragraph
tile essenco of which wits :-11 But we
fire not * convinced that the Laurier
. Government would intentionally do
wrong." Precisely, Wesbouldliketo
be informed Its to the occasion and the
cluestion upon which this purveyor of
Liberal sentiments was open to con-
viction its to (,it(, wrong doing of its
'
party friends, whofLPe, for the time
being, sojourning Att, Toronto and
Ottawa. Nor does the Expositor
iexpress any curiosity to learn why
it is that professional contractors,
men with extensive experience find
expensive outfits, are outbid by
grocers, iner'chants or printers with-
out knowledge of the work allotted
theta find, probably, in some cases
without that financial standing which
will ensure its, successful completion.
I- Business is business as you know," has
had riot, it little to do with the granting
of more than one contract in the same
Department front which this precious
Goderich job emanated.

Montreal, Sept. 5 -Mr. R. Meighen,

"What lists are to'be used in the vote
oil the plebi,icite on 'I'liursday, Sept.
91ith ? " was asked of Mr, Alex. Smith,
ILI 0 ronto, the Liborn]. organizer.
oThat is a question asked quite fre-
qLlently," was the reply, "and I shall
endeavor to answer this and other ques-
tions that seem to come up regularly.
NVithout referring to the clauses of the
Ret I may Say that the law is that any
pet -son under the franchise act of any
Province entitled to vote oil Angust ]at,
1893, for a candidate for the Legislative
Assembly is entitled to vote on the
plebiscite unless lie bas become dia-
'Juslified, l
"In the .Province of Ontario some of
the municipal lists were finally certified
to before August ]at, and in every Such
Municipality Hie lists for the year 1893
will be used. In all other municipali-
ties the lists of 1897 are the lists to be
used."
"NVhat about registration? "
"The law provides that when a regis-
tration list is riot more than a year old
(so to speak) it shall be the list to be
used Ili tiny municipality where regis-
tration prevails, "
14.
� kre there any exceptions to the
Provinciai lists'? )t
"Yes, there are additions. Take the
'franchise act of Ontario� It especii'ally
,mentions some classes of (Iflicials as
Inot entitled to vote, but according to
the tiety Dominion franchise act such
p 7 rsons, if otherwise qualified, are en-
titled to vote without being on the list,
providing they do not roftise to take tile
oatil its set forth fit the act."
"Are the returning officers appointed
for Provineia1 r4i-Eigs or for Dominion
congtiLuencie$ ?"
"'I'hey are appointe'd for Dominion
constituencies, but tile polling divisions
to be Fulopted tire those established for
the purposes of Provincial elections.
lVhere thero tire no 1'roviticial polling
diviKions the places fixed by tile laws
of tilt, Province for taking tile vote and
tile lists used sit such places for a Pro-
vincial r)oction shall be the places and
lists to Ile nqed," .
"I I"Itle fivell it stated that (lie lists to
I1- 4 -i ,if this L'tovince are the lists
used on �,Iarch I at last? 11
"Yo-ig that is true, wherever the lists
have not been revioLd ror 1898 by Aug,
lat.,?
"Do I understand you, then, to say
that the returning officers arn appoint-
ed for tile Dominion cimstittioncies �
thab tho polling divisions i are the Pro-
vincial polling divisions ; that tile lists
to be tise(I are the Peovincial lists of
181,)7 or the lists of 1811H wherever the
latter were completed on or before
August ]at?"
"Yes, that, is the law fit brief (without
mentioning [lie exception abovo noted,
with referene, a to corutin classes of
officials ;) but it does riot always nec-
essarily follow that because a man's
narne is oil the list lie is vntided to vote
lie may, by change of residence or
from some other reapon, have become
disqualified from voting."
- �%'here are tile listq obtained? 11
-rhe list.,; for the plebiscite vote are
obtainable from the local custodian.
I'lic custodian in out, Province is the
