THE ?ANT AND THE FUTURE, Ten years ago Edward Bake, then in opposition, made a speech in the Ontario, Legislature, and confidently called upon the Sandfield Macdonald ininistry to re- sign. The Government fell Seven years ago Edward Blake faced 'the Pacific Scandal Cabinet on the floor •of the House of Commons, and telling •the members cf that rotten adminiatra- ction that they were "stee,oed to the lips in corruption," bade thein give place to ,'better men. The $360,000 Government resigned. Two years more and Elward Blake will call upon the present Government to make room for truer men, and, as in the past, his void will not be heard in vain. The Government will fall. THE IRON BRIDGE.

I have endeavored, in the whole of these discussions, to put to one side everything that savored of personal animosity or attacks upon individuals; and although the occasion has not unfrequently arisen in which I might fairly have pointed an argument by something of that descrip- tion, I have preferred to leave the argu- ment where it was. But I may say to you that your address, in the lnnguagc in which it has spoken of me, however undeserved, has said one thing, which you at any rate, Mr. Chairman, know is true. I have not struggled for the place which I now fill. On the contrary, I have struggled to avoid that place. I shall rejoice when the day arrives on which tny duty Will permit me to lay it down. I am here to -day at the instance of honorable men, in the furtherance of high public ends by honorable meth- ods and by those alone, for I believe that by those methods alone can an hon- orable cause succeed. i am not here to add to those sacrifices, great and small, which a public man meat stake when he exchanges private life for the toils and trials and conflicts of political life in this country -I am not hero to add to them the sacrifice of a breach of honor or the sacrifice of my convictions. I believe that by these methods and by pursuing public discussion in this way we will do more than can be done in the methods to which i have referred, in promoting the g'Nel results which we desire to effect for the people of this country. And now, inen of Halifux, I am about to bid you farewell. I go to perform iny part elsewhere, God helping me, and I leave you to perform your.
