SEARCH OUT AND PUNISH.
The story of the trick ballot boxes, as
told In a Belleville court on Friday,
reads Iike a fairy-tale. It is charged
these boxes, ten in number, were import-
ed tato the west riding of Hastings for
use in behalf of B. O. Lott, the Liberal
oartaidate. The litter's brother, Philip
Lott, swears that he went to Kingston
hato negotiate for the purchase and ship -
• meat of the boxes, which were brought
from Watertown, N. Y. He swears
also that he acted upon the instructions
of his brother, the Liberal candidate,
who confided to him the details of the
conspiracy. Th9 boxes were not used
because the conspirators could not ob-
tain ballots from the returning officer.
These were to have been marked for
Lott, secreted in the boxes, and then re-
leased by a sprincr. The case has been
further adjourned until Friday of this
week Saturday's Globe contained the
following, and it expresses the senti-
ments of the TIMES in this matter. We
have rio room for corruption at elections
and the sooner it is stamped out the bet-
ter for both Liberals and Oonservatives.
The Globe says; -
"The evidence given at Belleville by
Philip Lott, implicating his brother,
Byron 0. Litt, Liberal candidate in the
Dominion election in West Hastings,
and others named, affords ample grounds
for immediate action. Either this evi-
dence is unmitigated perjury, or the men
named are fit only for the penitentiary.
Arrests cannot be made too soon to satis-
fy either the ends of justice or the de•
minds of outraged public decency. If
Philip Litt is a perjurer, the perjured
tool of crafty politicians, those incrim-
hinted by him must disprove his state-
ments,'and he and his associates must
be sent to the only place provided by
Canadian law for such characters. If
his story is essentially Erne, his brother
and every one of the others involved in
the conspiracy are criminals, for whom
the extreme sentence allowed by law
would be no more than justice.
' •To hint at the political elements invol-
ved as a mitigation of the crime is insult-
ing. If Liberal candidates, desirous of
election to Parliament as supporters of
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, were directly or in-
directly interested in this dastardly in-
trigue, they should be made to feel that
their support is an unpardonable offence
against the Prime Minister and against
the Government and party of which he is
leader. And if any agent or worker in
any way attached to any organization
of the Liberal party is implicated, the
offence should be proved up to the hilt
and every guilty man punished without
mercy. The crime charged touches the
limit of culpability, and if the criminals
profess to be Liberals so much the stern-
er should be their punishment."

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
There was only one spoiled ballot in
South Perth in the recent election. This
is a good record.
The re-count in Wentworth is likely
to cost Mr. Sealey, Liberal, his seat, as
in ene division, where he had 23 majori-
ity, it was fonnd the 1), R. 0. had num-
bered the ballots.
Byron 0. Lott, the defeated Liberal
r"2yandidate in West Hastings, has been
h arrested on a charge of conspiracy to
defraud the electorate. He asserts that
he has a good defence, and that his
brother Philip, who made the charges,
is mentally derauged.

The executive of the West Huron
Liberal Association met at Goderioh on
Friday and selected delegates to attend
the Liberal convention at Toronto, A
riding convention, to nominate a caudi-
date for the Legislature will be held in
the nets future.
The annual meeting of the West
Huron Couservative Association will be
help at Auburn on Monday next. The
election of officers will take place and a
candidate for the Ontario Legislature
will be selected. From what we can
learn their are many aspirants. The
convention will settle the question us to
who will be the man.
The nominations for the Quebeo Leg-
islative Assembly took plaoe throughout
the Province Friday. In 36 out of the
74 counties there were elections by ac-
clamation, and 35 of these were Liberals.
The only Conservative elected was Hon.
P. E. Leblaue, ex -Speaker, in Laval.
Hon. E. J. Flynn and Hon. L. P. Pelle-
tier, the former Conservative leaders,
have dropped oat.
The Dominion Parliament has been
summoned to meet on Wednesday, Jan-
uary 11th, 1905. The' Prime Minister
promised last session that if possible
Parliament should be called early in 1905
and he has kept his promise. The first
day will be devoted to the swearing iu
of the timbers and the election of a
Speaker. The Speech from the Throne
will be delivered next day, Jen. 12.
There is no charge nor even complaint
against the administration of Ontario's
affairs by the Ross Government. Some
of the Premier's unwise supporters have
followed the long-coutinned Conserva-
tive example and descended to corrupt
practices at elections. Iu this regard all
that can be said is that the Liberal
record is not so badly smirched as the
Conservative record, and that Liberal
leaders and Liberal journals have sought
to purge their party, while Conservative
leaders and journals have been silent as
to corruption in their own ranks. As
for administration, there is on the Con-
servative side a combination of conspic-
uous incompetents. The affairs of the
Province should not be entrusted to
them till they show some evidence of
ability. -Toronto Globe.
The final step was taken in the recon-
struction of the Ontario Government
Tuesday afternoon, four new members
being sworn in by the Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor, one member of the old Cabinet
being transferred to another department
and a second retaining his seat without
portfolio. The Cabinet is now composed
as follows: -
Hon. Geo. W. Ross, Premier and
Treasurer.
Hon. F. R. Latchford, Attorney Gen-
eral.
Hon. Richard Harcourt, Minister of
Education.
Hon.• W. A. Charlton, Commissioner
of Public Works.
Hon. Jobn Dryden, Minister of Agri-
culture.
Hon. A. G. Mackay, Commissioner of
Crown lands.
Hon. George P. Graham, Provincial
Secretary.
Hon. J. M. Gibson, Minister without
portfolio.
Hon. F. E. A. Evanturel, Minister
without portfolio.

14.11 kItook markets.
Toronto, Nov. 22 -"There has not been
so slow a market for a long time as it
has been to -day," said Mr. Thos. Craw-
ford this morning. up at the Western
cattle market. Seeing that there has
been some very slow markets of late,
that was not saying much for the condi-
tion of business today. There was but
a light run, but even at that there were
apparently a good many more cattle ill
the market than there was any demand
for. The market, in fact, was decidedly
dull and heavy, with no evidences of
activity at any part of the game, both
buyers and sellers standing around as
though waiting for something to turn up.
Nothing turned up, however, to put life
into the trade. Under such oircum-
stances prices were generally easier for
everything going, except for choice cat-
tle, which might have fetched good
prices, had there been any really choice
cattle in the market. There was very
little except such as was classed under
the head of common mixed cattle. In
many oases it was difficult to dispose of
these at any price, and the quotations
for common butcher cattle were from
20c to 25c lower than a week ago.
One reason for the poor demand in
the local butcher trade is the present
spell of comparatively mild weather, and
the fact that the wholesale butchers are
pretty well supplied with beef at the
present time, and in some cases have
more on their hands than they very well
kuow what to do with. There have also
been large shipments of poultry this
week and last, and this has had an effeot
on the local butcher market.
The ran was 74 loads, with 730 head of
cattle. 2,570 sheep and lambs, 850 hogs
and 54 calves.
Export -Practically nothing doing in
the export line. The old country mar-
ket is very low, cable quotations show-
ing no possible profit for the shippers.
Butchers -Trade slow, not many cattle
wanted. Butchers well supplied; prices
easier for common cattle, choice cattle
steady.
Stockers -Not many stockers offering.
A. fair demand for good stockers and a
few good feeders. Prices steady.
Sheep and lambs -Market steady; all
sold and prospects steady.
Hogs -Market steady; no change in
the quotations from last week; select s
$4.80.
