The Whitney faction, next week, pro the land of which the conservative party some years ago were willing to deprive Ontario. The dispute sbout this dates from the time the Hon. Mr. Mackenzie was in power. He proposed to refer it to the arbitration of Chef Justice Harrison, Sir Edward Thorn- ton and Sir Francis Hicks. Sir John Macdonald declined to rati- fy their award. The Ontario govern ment pressed for a settlement, and Sir John Macdonald, in his own em- ghatic way, declared that not a stipk of timber and not a pound, of minerals should pass under the control of the Mowat government. Later, on the eve of an election, it was announced by the leading conservative organ that a settlement of the dispute might be easier if the Mowat government were lefeatad. Meanwhile the fand and the timber parcalled out to political favourites, which patcelling went for nothing when the award was finally sanction: «od, and 100000 square miles of ter ritory, 'worth millions 'of money, were reserved to the province. Mr. Whitney and his friends will take a'look at some of the land and its wealth, such as will be revesled by a trip over the Algoma Central railway, the land grant in connection with which he pronounced " a phenomenal eal," 'the greatest attempt at public robbery," 'the most henious .ublie crime that has ever attempted yy men in authority, in the dominion sf Canada, or on the continent of America." When Mr. Whitney comes yack from New Ontario it will be in srder for him to repent of all this in sackcloth and ashes, ATTACKING THE MACHINE. The Mail makes a dead set upon the machine in politics, and affects to be lieve it is a very bad thing. Says our ontamporary : "It is a combination of hired erim inals who permeate the province, edu- cating men in the arts of fraud, brib ing the electors, and stealing voted that cannot be bought. That it"is a brassy organization all the evidence goed to prove. It is aggressive and indeed Hin pAident. I 'defies both law and morals. It denies the people the right of exercising their franchise free- ly. It treats the elector as dirt be neath its feet. The revelations so far the multifarious by which it operates." In looking back over the elections of 'the last ten years we read of some curious things. In the Haldimand election, the poll at the Indian reserve was opened be- fore time and the ballot box stuffed with a lot.of bogus votes. Here the ballot exchange was worked to great advantage, the elector who was "fix ed' putting into the box the ballot he had got outside, and bringing back to his briber the ballot he had gotten from the returning officer. Fol# of the men who thus operated so skilful ly in the interest of the conservative candidate were rewarded with places in the customs department. In this same Haldimand county a proclaina- tion was issued in the name of the queen. commanding the «Indians vote for Dr. Montague, h In Frontenac, as the evidence in the election trial showed, whiskey flowed like water. It was dispensed from a hole in the wall, a dentist's bedroom, a drive shed, a grist mill, an ice house, and other places. It was even distributed in jugs by a certain clerk who is inclined to be very busy in the presemt City election, + Jot West Northumberland gn attempt was made to steal the seat from the liberal member-elect. He was return ed by thirty-six votes. The deputy ve- turning officer placed the ballots in his safe, and while there they were tampered with. A lot of hogus bal lots, marked for the conservative can: didate, were sulwtituted for those marked for the liberal. The haud was exposed before the county judge and the liberal, Haygraft, confirmed in his election. In South: Grey Dr. Landerkin wos elected by forty-six.

South Ontario referred to by the conservatives as a corrupt constituency, and the electing trial, in Jenuary, 1900, can never be forgotten in that election. i Votes cost as the party and expenditure of the conservative the one rid ing, is estimated at £7,000. The revelation came when several persons reported for bribery were presented. William Smith, an ex-M.P., (not un- known in Kingston), confessed that he had given £1,200, or more, to hali a dozen agents, who were at work in the conservative candidate's behalf. Judge Ferguson, in referring to the fact, later, ~lamented that the court was not called upon to deal with Smith, " whose evidence," the juage, "is the most glaring piece of each, in said corruption 1 ever beard." In Dundas county about 81.000 was spent in 1598, in one township, for she henefit of Mr. Whitney. So that it is not at all remarkable that he should) desire to spend some part of his time in the constituency .quring the present campaign.

The Tory is the conservative paper which was founded a few months ago because there seemed to be a special necessity for it and the sturdy criti cism in which it has The press already existing appeared to be unequal to the task of speaking out plainly and as the circumstances war: ranted. Some of The Tory's remarks may have been forgotten, but they are pungent and will stand revival. In May last The Tory asked : "Hos the ¢onservative party been true to Ontario ? The rank and file would like this question answered." Our contem porary's desire for information has not yet been gratified. In the same month The Tory. sailed into Mr. Whitney and said he ought to *'shake himself into 'a more advance ed frame of It confinued : "When the mass of the conservative elsctorate are prepared to have a share in the government of the party they will 'tuke an interest in the sue cons of the party, but where the lead- ers say to she people, 'We ars very important men, we can run this party ourselves, we won't trouble you to do anything but &neel, the electorate Jose personal interest in the sucess of the party." Again, it said : "No leader can af ford to dispense with the assigtance of any more then mind." the party electorate the head ean dispense with the body, and when he attempts to do so the re result is defeat and disaster, and ut ar SORRBION--eeniuslny When the election was talked of, The Tory was anxious for Mr, Whitney to announce his policy. After being in op- positipn for over thirty years it was too much to expect the people to be lieve that the conservative party could construct a policy if returned to pow- er. The leader should show what he could do in policy building when in opposition. *** We bave wuch of the ditches-and-water-course business," said The Tory, "tov much small po- tatoes. It is time to throw the little cards away and play trumps." In every way, and in every issae, The Tory tried its best to arouse Mr. Whitney, to "wake him up" as it had on one occasion een asked by a cor respondent to do, and all in vain. Mr. Whitney has entered the campaign without a policy, and his defeat is a foregone conclusion. too EDITORIAL NOTES. "War is hell," said a veteran of the United States army, and he would have added, were he alive, "out in the Philippines." The local conservative paper wants to know why the ballot switchers and personators were not prosecuted by the Ross government ? Who is it referring to? The Hamilton Spectator calls upon conservative party to act on the defensive. So the party is retreating, eh? On the run again?
