This political campaign is nearing the end and the game of poli- tics was neyer more unwortliy of the the chief players on tlie Opposition side, but their scandai speeches-anld scandai edîtorials sent ont. from the Albany Club, Toronto, have faiied to besmirdli the dharacters or public records of a single member of Sir Wilfrid's Cabinet., Every man of them lias come throngh this contest witliout a bit of political scandaI attaching to him. Mr. R. L. Borden, Conservative lead- er, sliould bo sorry, if bie is not, for bringiug into the campaigu in Ontario premiers from the other provinces. -I was an ackuowledgmeut that lisOn tario followers were n ot to lis likîng ,or' could not do the peculiar kind of politicai work lie thouglit desirable >to do. We may remark in passing that we had regarded Mr. Borden with a f air measure of respect,, but his course in this campaign lias alienated ail that respect. It wili ever stand to lis dis- credit that hoe leaded a band of politi- cal speakers wliose public records have, been more or less beclouded. 0f the premiers wliom Mr. Borden seiected to accompanhMf, .--Hatze retired from the field very- early in the game, and lias been mnixed up in the Mayes plot to muin the dliaracter of Hon.

Mr. W. J. Hanna romains te explain away lis insuits to the newly arrîvod' immigrants. In this respect Mr. Hanna lias made himsolf obnoxions and ridiculous and has use- fuluess lias gone to seed. This is the positio n of Mr. Borden to-day. Not liaviug any men in his own party in Ontario with the abillty te stand before tlie people and proclaim a pelicy, lie fell baok upon strangers fmom otlier provinces and thoeo n added insuit upon insuit te the people of Ontario, until thoir presence becamo as intolerable as tlieir methods were unwelcome.ý Thon as to tlie alleged scandais cirou- latod against the Liberals.
