OUR COTENI. ON THE ERAN-
GUISE BILL.
V'l1 ..a WHJM*. lf!H --------:
Our cotem. says : “The people
are aroused by tbeeggreuaiow of a
clique.”
The people say.—Yes, one-third
of the members of Parliament, form
ing a Grit clique, want to “aggress”
upon the rights of two-thirds.
Our coteui.—“The protective tar
iff and the expenditure on behalf of
the C. P. R. is hurrying the country
to a cojiunerbial crisis.”
The people.—That is about -tfR
pertinent an argument against the
Dominion Franchise Bill' fis any ad**
vunced by the Grit clique in Par
liament.
Our cotem.—“It is scarcely
necessary for us to say anything
more condemnatory of it.”
The people.—O, dear no, you have
exhausted all your argument. You
have intimated that a clique opposes
it, and that the country is hurrying
to a commercial crisis. That’s sure
ly proof strong as holy writ that the
Franchise Bill is iniquitous/ ‘
But somehow our friend does at
tempt to say something more in con--
damnation of the Franchise-Bill.
Doubts arose in its « mind as to the
.thoroughness of its previous peculiar
ratiocination, when it rested its case
against.the Franchise Bill by capping
the climax of itSTaloquent denuncia
tion of the Bill with a vivid picture
of the commercial disaster which was.
sure to precede or follow, the passage
of the measure, Taking a fresh
start it proceeds to show that to get
relief from the burdens of prophesied
commercial crisis, the clique will
have “to leave the country, or break
up confederation” or climb a tree,
and urges that nothing under heaven*
can avert this" dire concatenation of
disasters if the Franchise Bill passes.
, And yot it did not rest its case
against the"Franchise Bill; we.find
it again re opens the case to add that
as agitation' wa"s*‘"the origin of cons
federation, so was "agitation the
origin.of the clique^ so will it be the
origin of-the crisis, of the burdens,
of-’the exodus from the country, of
the -break up of confederation and
of the existence pf thousands ih^On
tario, “equally among Conservatives
and Reformers, who would gladly
hail annexation .. to the United
$,tRtes,” ^therefore, iu view c f ‘these
double-barrelled unanswerable state-"
meats,-a reasonable public* and the
majority in Parliament should see
to it that the Franchise Bill does
not pass ! I.' ' . ' .
If. we have not made our cotem’s,
editorial on “The Franchise Bill and"--
nose on Sir John’s face, we have at
least done no injustice to that power-
erful disquisition.

Mr. Blake wants the Govern**,
went to prove its innocence of
Trnsniauagement in the Northwest.
Mr. Blake should prove the guilt of
the Government, and" Bir John
challenged him to do it. Mr. Blake
dealt only in insinuation and
buncombe.
Sir Richard so persiHt<^I jn his ob
structive tactics aud in the intro
duction of irrelevant matter on the
discussion of tlm Franchise Bill That
the chairman had to call, the gaifont
knight to order. As the* local organ
says, it was a disgraceful scene.
And 67 to 41 supported a “partisan”
chairman in his decision that Sir
Richard and his supporters should
desist, from their unparliamentary
conduct.
A correspondent interviewed W.
H. Jackson, Riel’s late secretary,
one day since liiscapture. *
“Eastern papers charge that you
have been supplying information to
the Toronto Globe. Is that a fact ?”
He held his head down and pluck**
ed at bis scanty beard and remained
silent, as if in deep thought. I re
peated tlm.o question. At, last he
said : —
“I, would rather, wait until my
trial. I must see the General first.”
“Then you decline to answer the
question ?”
“Yes, Ido.”
a This concluded the interview.,.
’•While praise "iH~<Tcalt out on all

The above and many other expres
sive lines appeared in our • town co
tem last and previous weeks to
arouse the faithful to a sense of the
dangers of the proposed “iniquitous”
Franchise Bill and get them to put
in an appearanee at the Town Hall,
Clinton on Friday, 22nd inst, and
there and then arouse, “spontane,”
seethe, agitate or—or burst, The
county papers two weeks previously
called attention to the Grit meeting to
be held in Clinton on the eventful
22nd, inst. The Toronto \ Globe
contained the following : ,
HURON. : * ,
& Clinton,May 16.—A public meeting
(for the county) wil be . held in the
Town Hall, Clinton, on Friday next,
the ?2nd inst., St one p.,.m„ to pro
test against the Franchisea Bill an.d
other iniquitous measures of the. Gov
ernment. Representatives from all
over the county are expected to be
present, and addresses delivered by
prominent men.
From these evidences we would
assume that the various Grit agencies
throughout the county had bifen set
at work to evolve a “spontaneous”
outburst of disapproval of the Fran
chise Bill. .
One town qotem writhed in agony,
tortured its imagination to conjure
"°up plausible reasons for condemning
the Bill and enthusing the faithful,
proposed one of the two following
remedies,to. “LEAVE the country,
OR BREAK UP CONFEDERATION.” Alas
and alack-a-day 1 None of the ap
peals, not even the threaLto “leave
