N owrit must be, remem- bered that he, with several other members of the late Legislature, had been instru- mental in having an Act passed prOVIdlng for the re-valuation of the public lands, and that he introduced resolutions into that Chamber on different occasions bring- ing under the notice of the House the ne- cessity of rc-vnluing those lands. As soon as that Act was passed gentlemen were appointed to inspect, those lands; and they did so under the authority of that Act, and the result of their inspection was that re- ports were duly sent in to the Crown Lands Ollice. During his (Mr. Inuder's) ..7, .4 "an", mum uxzuua Uwvb. y..-...° 7 , canvass in those townships he stated to the peeple that he had been instrumental in bringing about the passage of that Act; and he mentioned the name of Mr. Lewis in the presence of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the President of thel Council at several meetings where those' two gentlemen were present, and his name Was necessarily introduced on ac. eountof his having previously been in that neighborhood. Questions. were put to him ( Mr. Lauder) irequcntl,y at those meet- ings to know whether the Bill was a mere cicrctionttring Jodge, whether anything "as to be done under it, and in order to answer these questions he was obliged to give particulars as to what had been done.

The paragraph in which Mr. May speaks of the book runs thus " Having free access from time to time to the GoVernmcnt book above referred to, I readily recognized the one used in the election Citlupztlgll to be the same one as was used in August and September. Mr. May was not the man to put his name to a statement that was false; he was a man [ well known in those townships and is looked open as a leads ing man in the section." Those l attidavits having been made lately, Ius(hir. l Lauder) knew nothing about their beings, drawn up: they were sent to him voluntar- [ ily from those townships, and no doubt they Were made by those individuals with. out coercion.

This man, thus l acting in the capacity of an agent of the l Government for along time, going into the houses of the people, talking to them about their land, contrived to secure their confidence, and was just the man to use them as he did. He (Mr. Lauder,) did Dot think there was a single member of that House, certainly not a member of it outside the Administration,who would dare to stand up and justify the statements made by that man, or say that he (Mr. Lauder) was not right in bringing the mat. i ter before the House. The hon. Commis- sioner of Public Works had accused him during his canvass ot using an improper argument in telling the people that it was to their interest to support the then Gov- ernment; bat was there any gentleman, there asupporter of the Government who . had not sought 1election on Simi--) lar grounds? He could see nothing! extraordinary in that argument. IIe '; (er. Lauder) had a right to say so ' bxause he had brought about legislation in the interests of that section of that country, such as the railway measureI Which he had supported; and he had a perfect right to tell them that the Govern- ment of John Bandtield Macdonsld was friendly to them and they ought to stand by it, and he believed the feeling of the riding was to stand by that Government. People had heard a great deal about the impropriety of public companies or their servants interfering as canvassers in elections; and no man had talked more on I that subject than the hon. Commissioner; ot Public Works, who had also maintained that it was wrong tor the servants of t'ic Government to interfere in elections ' because he said it looked like Government l interference. But it became different l when sides were changed. The 1 man, who he proposed to show had the t sanction of hon. gentlemen opposite for - the course he took, was more than an ordi. Tnary oimmr of the Government; he was t' Placed in the relation of assing iud men it between. the Government: and'tlie piople': I thus gIVng him an Loflaence which no one i) else bad. There could be no doubt that 5 Yswis went there representing himself to a Mr. LAUDER would aet'cr to him by- and-bye. He had the statement of gentle- men opposed to him on the hustings that the two hon. gentlemen said they would spare no means to carry that election. In- formation was constantly supplied to their candidate, and material of a more weighty kind was also forthcoming; in fact, he was charged to beat him (in. Lauder) at all hazards. Wag it likely that the Hon. commissioner for Public Works would spend three weeks in I Grey and travel from settlement to settlement and then come down there to Toronto and take his place without avail- ing himself of it to bring to bear all the influences against him that he could. No doubt the hon. Commissioner kept a good look out and was quite alive to tho neces- sity of doing all he could to defeat him, and he believed that the hon gentleman had an interview with Lewis before he went there. At the very tirst meeting at which Lewis was present, he was asked by a friend of his (Mr. Lauder's) what author- ity he had to appear for the Government. Lewis then stated deliberately that he had had an interview with thtsdltoettyy.nit sioner of Public Works (Mr. McKellar,) and that he then gave him authority to make those statements. When the story was tiret told to him(Mr. Lauder), the President of the Council wasnot nantedsby!.the,r,PP? gold to go iii/jiUw'di gait] for Dickey. He (Mr. Lauder) Was' The hon. member for Bouth Oxford had 53- just as sure as that he stood there that the been one of the very first men the next J, hon. Commissioner of Public Works had morning to .d.ra.w attention to the letter _ that interview with those men, and that havmg Lewis' signature. (Hear, hear.) He those men stated what was true when they had read a good deal and heard a good said he told them to go up and do all they deal about public matters, but he had f could for Dickey. The hon. Commissioner never heard of such an outrage practised of Public Works when in Grey used every upon any people. It it could be shown effort to defeat him (Mr. Lauder.) He even that any member of the Government had left behind him a Gaelic address of. live encouraged .or sanctioned any pages, signed by himself and containing guteh proceeding, then they were more misrepresentation, more misleading not worthy cf, either confidence of the pepple than was ever seen or support. 1(1 tl','; hear.) The hon in one address before, if the trans- President ot t t ounci would find that lation he ou. Lauder) had seen he could .ntt wr!gg.1ts out of thig charge as was at all correct. From the he had trredto do in the case brought up translation of that document, he the day tyefort, by trymgd to tet, tie had ascertained that it was stated that the peoNt tltg the:l ,l1rri'le,11 metn mums cash of the country was kept in a very large Email} P 'dhtl t e originat mo loath t he chest of which the Premirr had the key, (1.8 not 151 'i',1,h',f,"tUfft'd, t?
