THE IMPORTANT QUESTION.
In the approaching election, the
great question for the electors to de-
cide is -not so much of, a choice be-
tween Toryism and Gritism, bot it is
the question of the moral rectitude of
the government of our province.
For the past six years there has
been a constant succession of disgrace-
ful events in the political Life of the
province. The election courts have
opened np the secret methods by
which the Ross Government has won
elections, and it is safe to say that
nothing as bad has ever been revealed
in Ontario. The question is -Shall
such a state of affairs be allowed to
continue, or shall we have clean elec-
tions and a safe ballot? We believe
this is the main question at issue.
The Weekly ,Sun, perhaps the best
Independent, Farmers' paper of the
province, takes the same view, The
Sun says
"The question which the people are
now called upon to decide, and which
it is of the utmost moment to the in-
tegrity of popular government that
they should solve aright, is one of
political Inorality. It is needless to
reeount at Length the incidents of the
struggle made by the present Govern-
ment for the retention of power. The
West, Elgin ease, the North 'Waterloo
ease, the North Renfrew case, the
South Oxford ease, the Gainey ease,
and the Sault case are present to the
memories
of all,
and all

The only legislative promise in the
Speech from the Throne at Ottawa is
a measure to grant autonomy to the
Northwest Territories.
---Look at the record of the ballot
under officers appointed at the end of
32 years of Liberal rule. The Liberal
Government control the providing of
the ballot box, the ballots and the ap-
pointment of those who see the vote
cast. The history of that vote shows
that from the entry of the Canadian
voter into the polling booth till he
leaves it, frond, manipulation, and
bluff may wreck his efforts to express
his will. Look at the process, The
scrutineer who wants fair play has to
keep his eyes open. The box must be
examined lest it contains a false com-
partment, The ballot and the pack-
ages must be scrutinized and counted'
in ease they are bogus and even in the
count a careless watch may mean the
abstraction of one to be sent to the
workers outside, The deputy return-
ing officers may and often do so initial
the ballots that they can be identified,
and the counterfoil may be left on so
as to afford a clue. The very form of
oath supplied in the last Dominion
election omitted the bribery clauses
and the voters' lists were loose uncerti-
fied sheets of names,
* r *
-Personal confidence lies at the
foundation of all our relations, social,
commercial and public -friendship is
based on personal confidence. If mut-
nal confidence is lost the family is de-
stroyed. Banks lend their money on
personal confidence that the borrowers
can and will fulfil their promises to
repay -so with every other business -
all rest in a foundation of confidence
that promises will be fulfilled, The
rule applies equally in public affairs.
The basis of responsible government
is public confidence, which means, not
merely agreement with a policy pro-
posed hut confidence by the public
that the members of the Government
can and will carry out that policy.
On this basis, if on no other, the gov-
ernment of Mr. Ross should be defeat-
ed. Does anyone, either friend or foe,
believe that Mr. Ross either can or
will fulfil his promises. His record
shows that all through his public
career he has been a promisor who
failed to fulfil. It is sufficient at this
moment to recall his last broken pro-
mise on the temperance question, but
this is only the latent instance of a
continued career of repudiation.
*�*
-Thos. Barnes, a staunch Liberal of
Kent county, appeared on the plat-
form with P. H. Bowyer, the Con-
servative candidate, and spoke as fol-
lows o-
"1 am as good a Reformer as ever I
was, aiid yet I ani on the platform of
a candidate who is pledged to assist in
destroying the Ross Government.
Why is this ? I am not a sorehead ; I
have never been refused an office ; I
have never sought an office. I am
supporting Mr. Bowyer because he
stands pledged to oppose bounties, to
oppose subsidies, to oppose the grant-
ing of the land of the people to the
corporations, and to aid in smashing
the school book monopoly. The man
who stands on that platform, I care
not what he calls himself, is it real Re-
former ; he is a good enough Reformer
for me.. How are you to get rid of the
barnacles which the Globe tells us
have fastened themselves to the Ross
Government? In the same way that
a man corrected the trouble with a
dog which was loaded with parasites.
The man destroyed the dog ; you must
destroy the Government. So Ion$ as
the Ross Government exists, so long
will the Sullivans and others of like
nature have the Liberal party by the
throat ; the moment you destroy the
Government that moment will the
grip be released by those who now
hold it,"
TRUTH NOT SLANDER.
In this campaign, Liberal candidates
and Liberal papers are shouting the
cry of "slander" and charging Con-
servatives with conducting a cam-
paign of abuse and slander,
That the record of the Roes govern-
ment for the past six years has been
so full of Corruption and disgrace to
out province, Conservatives are not
to blame, 'Yet, forsooth, if we refer
to charges proven in the Coutts, of
which the evidence has been made
public, the try of slander is at once
raised.
Electors Should not be misled, The
same spirit that prompted the evil
deeds that have disgraced Ontario,
now squirms because attention is
drawn to them, and the electors are
urged to end the corrupt administra-
tion that has profited by them.
The 'Toronto News speaks with. no
uncertain sound on. this "slander" cry,
when it says --
"The reiteration of the proved facts

toxy. The authority for the state-

r ItitipeaChabIe. The story,
as it has been told in nearly all the
Provincial papers, rests upon the
oaths of Credible 'witnesses, and the
iudgrnent of the Chancellor of On -
tom and Mr. Justice Teetzel. They
found that Mr. George Sutherland
organized the trip of the Minnie M.

the company, Mr. Coyne. Mr, Gib-
son was warned that it was going to

telrr Nothing' woe done to stop it,
and the personation was carried out.
To state these faets, taken from the
court records. and :make the inevita-
ble deductions, is a'tniblic duty that
no Ivan can neglect if he is honest
with Ihirnself. A. Government that is
condemned lry established facts has
no recourse but to call it abuse when
the ease is stated. What are the Slap•
dela? No Conservative has applied
his eye to the keyhole of Mr. Ross'
berlrooan to watch what he -drank be-
fore returng no one has spied upon
his private life or the private like of
any of bis colleagues. Alt that has
been done is to hold Mr. ,Ross and his
colleagues responsible- for tlaa frauds
committed in elections, over which
they have absolute control, and for
the corruption practised to keep them
in power, .But it is not "slander" to
discuss a puhlie question involving
the freedoin of elections. It is not
slander to criticize the failure of the
Premier to keep his pledges. All this
talk about the persecution of Mr. Ross
uaeaans that the friends of the GTover•ai
ment, finding public opinion going
.against them, are trying to divert the
discussion away from public affairs."
REY. R. HOODS DISCUSSES ONTARIO
POLITICS.
Rev, 11, Robbs of Stratliroy, Presi-
dent of the London Conference,
Preached en Sunday evening last on
Ontario politics. Mr. Hobbs. has many
friends in •Vinghan who, wilt read
with interest a condensed report of
his sermon, as given in the London
Free Press :
"In these days we hear a good
about church and state, about
secular and the sacred," said Rev.
Hobbs. "But it was not so in Bibi
times. Then all was sacred. No
is said we must not bring politics

ject. But I say yes. Politics i

and polities ought to be one of
most sacred subjects, because of

gies to make for holding that opine
He then touched upon present
politics. Soule of his good people
said that he was a Tory. He posit
ly declared that lie was a straight

chise as a most sacred cluty in
sight of God, and he was happy to

that it was not so with him. He
lieved that there were multitudes

wrong to put them on right?
For the last thirty years he h
heard it said that if ever we obtain
pprohibition it would come through
Reform government. When he
stationed at Winghani, a hot -bed
Toryism, he boldly affirmed that
Mr. Ross would stand forth on a p
hibition platform he would take
stump in his behalf. He was not giv
that pleasure. Was it true that on
Reform governments gave temperan

ever brought up in the Ontario Leg

tive, Mr. Master, *as voted down
the Government, and the abominab v
plebiscite, loaded and overloaded, z
given in its place, requiring 200,
votes when the present gover•nme
existed on a minority vote. Was
right -was it fair -to ask such con

He had. come to the conclusio
