_The Conservatives have 72 of the
98 candidates in the field. Toronto,
Hamilton, Ottawa, London and some
of the outlying constituencies are yet
to be heard from.
--Jas. Vance, the Liberal organizer
in Ontario, denies the report that be
has resigned. He, however, intimates
that he is tired of the job, From all
accounts Mr. Vance is not half so tired
as the people of Ontario.

-The Hamilton Spectator is moved
to remark thus :-"What with Grits
testifying to the corrupt acts of Grits,
in the Beehive ballot ease, and Grits
charging Grits with gigantic conspira-
cy in Montreal, the Grits will find it
difficult to preserve their respect for
the Grit party."

-As a result of the two political
Conventions, two sets of resolutions
are now before the people of Ontario.
There is this difference between the
resolutions passed by the Liberals and
those by the Conservatives: The for-
mer were passed by the party which
for over thirty years has been the
Government party. Theirs has been
the privilege of legislation and theirs
has been the opportunity to crystalize
them into legislation. The latter were
passed by the party which for over
thirty years has been the Opposition
party. In almost each particular the
latter have tried to crystalize them
into enactments, but have failed by
reason of lack of numbers. It is there-
fore for the sovereign people to judge
not only the wisdom, but the sincerity
of each set of resolutions. -[Telegram.
•
-When the Tupper Government
lost its majority at the general elec-
tion, Lord Aberdeen found out the
fact without waiting for Parliament
to assemble, and treated Sir Charles
Tupper as every leader who has not a
majority in Parliament deserves to be
treated. When the Ross Government
lost its majority in the election courts
and in the Cabinet changes, Lieut. -
Governor Clark ignores the fact and
treats Hon. G. W. Ross as only leaders
who have a majority deserve to be
treated. But how is Lieut. -Governor
Clark to know that Hon. G. W. Ross
is in the minority until the Legisla-
ture meets? Lord Aberdeen soon
found out that Sir Charles Tupper was
in the minority, and sent him to the
right -about without waiting for Parlia-
ment to meet. -[Toronto Telegram.
•
The Toronto News says :-"Premier
Ross has now got around to the posi-
tion taken by Sir John Macdonald
many years ago. If you want prohi-
bition, you must send prohibitionists
to Parliament. He is coolly repudia-
ting his pledges. and the pledges of his
Government. He now asks the people
to send men to the Legislature who
will put prohibition before party.
This is the very thing that he refuses
to do himself. If he placed prohibi-
tion before party, he would make pro-
hibition the main feature of his policy,
go to the country upon it, and stand
or fads by the result."

--In 1594, under Sir Oliver Mowat,
the public expenditure was $3.800,000;
under Hardy in 1899, it was slightly
reduced, and amounted to $3,700,000,
but Mr. Ross had, expended, according
to this year's budget, $5,800,000, or an
ordinary revenue of $40,040,000, leav-
ing a deficit of one and a, quarter
millions. This deficit Ross hoped to
make up by the sale of timber conces-
sions. By this means he was depreciat-
ing
epreciating the resources of the province, and
would year after year have to make up
by increased taxation for the yearly
deficits, for the timber limit conces-
sions could not continue forever.

-In the libel case of Gus Porter,
M. P., against Editor Carman of Belle-
ville, which brought out some of the
facts regarding the trick ballot -boxes,
Mr. Carman has been committed for
trial. Police Magistrate Wood, in
closing the ease, said :-"The scheme
seems, so fair as B. 0. Lott is concern-
ed, to have originated in Toronto, for
the evidence of Philip Lott shows that
B. 0. Lott told him that one James
Vance, a Liberal organizer, had made
arrangements for bogus ballot boxes.
I am constrained to say that evidence
given in other courts established the
fact that this is no solitary instance of
electoral corruption. Prom the ex-
treme west of Ontario to the east a
continuous series of crimes against
political honesty have been shown to
have been committed. From the evi-
dence of fraud and trickery' at elec-
tions, ahieh have been so frequent of
late, I have reluctantly come to the
conclusion that public honor In Canada.
has steadily declined. Such deteriora-
t:on can only be stopped by a serious
awakening of the public Conscience,
and I trust that the evidence that has
been brought forward in this ease may
give such a shock to public opinion as
to snake the saving remnant of honor-
abit men in the Provinee awake to
the seriousness of the position. It
Seems to me that one of the most dan-
gerous sophistries that can be urged.
in respect of crimes of this character
is that there is a different standard of
honesty and duty in public and private
lift. If the public conscience becomes
seriously awakened, It ,cannot fall to
affect the its of pti.bito honor.
