Mr. Meredith. on behalf of himself and those on his side of the Home, 1 ex- pressed the appreciuttltn with which the Attorney-Generali" remarks were l ' regarded. It was satiifaotory to know u that everythinghehad paid of their de. ;ceased colleague was not the mere after- ' death enloginm too often spoken of those who have gone before. It was a true esti- mate whic every one who knew the de. ceased must have formed. of his character. Mr. Clarke was in the best sense of the word a self-made man. who in business and municipal life and in Provincial politics had attained a position of which anyone might _ he proud. It was true those on his own: side of the Mouse knew him best. While ' all in political life are too prone to use the ', first weapon that comes to hand, it would I be found, if the history of tho party were i known, that their deceased friend had i always stood up for what was honorable, f right and fair. He was a man of extensive _ reading and wide knowledge, and his ex- I erienoe was of great advantage to the l E',',',",',', and to the country at large. The I country has lost one of her best acne. l Words might rove of little comfort to ' those bereft of father and husband, but it l would be some consolation to learn that the deceased was regarded as a man of stainless I reputation in public as well as in private life. He bore the love of all who know him l and the respect and admiration of the whole , House. Mr. Meredith again thanked the E Attorney-General for the kindly words _', which he was sure came from the bottom l of his heart. The House then adjourned. 1
