"WASHED HANDS" Toronto. .++IN 1867 NEWSPAPER Bribery Rumors Followed Election : Rumors of ae Be only whirled around the Oshawa area after the first Canadian election in 1867 but some res- idents were accused of bribing electors, One man, identified simply as "John Ratcliffe" defended his reputation in The Oshawa Vindicator predecessor of The © Oshawa Times. Mr. Ratcliff in a letter from East Whitby, said: "Sad tales are in circulation about. bribery and corruption at the election just over in the South Riding of Ontario and the hitherto fair fame of our noble county is grievously tar- nished thereby. "T beliéve it to, be the duty of any one who may have been charged with such practices, if his hands are clean, to vin- dicate the good: name of our fair county. "It has been charged that I, among others, have been en- gaged in largé bribes, to vote for the Hon. George Brown. Had this electi among the other thous canards of 'the contest, "But as it has been repeated since the close of the election, by those who ought to know better, I take this means of ~ stating most distinctly, that I never touched money in con- nection with the late election; that I never offered or heard offered to any elector or con- nection of an elector, directly or indirectly, any money /or to induce them to vote for any pecuniary consideration to induce them to vote for either party and that I. have not seen any money or valu- "able things paid for services rendered during the just ended. contest "As the proposer of Mr. Brown at the nomination, Tf think it-only justice to that gentleman, to the fair fame of the county in which I 'have so long resided, as well as my own good name, thus publicly to declare that so far as dame rumor has used my name in this connection, the foul asper+ ation is utterly false and whol- ly untrue." (George Brown, editor of the Globe and Mail, was defeated -- in the election by Thomas N. Gibbs, a miller in Oshawa, who. - the riding until represented 1874.)
