An amusing incident ocurred at the political m eeting in South York, which Mr. Maclean attended. He had reason to expect the nomination, but until it was offered to hima he had to still and listen while others There were a lot of rumours, unfriendliness between Mr. Maclean Mr. Borden, and they sit spoke. alleged and Are supposed to be under His care and THE DAILY at present, would drive one out of publie life.

They have pumped themselves out, have toid all they knew and more, have put a biased impression on every question they Lave discussed, and now find themselves up against seri- ous difficulties. Mr. Hanna's break on - the asylum records is indefensible. The asylums he ought to kmow soiiething about them. So he tock the liberty of as- serting that while the normal increase in the insane and prison population was 20 per cent. in the five years be- tween 1903 and 1908, it was 90 per cent. He attributed this to the inrush of foreigners, each one of whom costs $200 a year "or a total of ' $1,200,000 for. the past year alone." Then the students of political econo- my got to work and' found that as a fact during the entire reign of BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1,-1898. FOSTER'S LAND DEAL "Was Nasty, Underhand and Wholly Inexcus- able." Hon. George E. Foster, who poses as a paragon of virtue and purity, and who has no words severe enough for the condemnation of "graft," is to speak at Dundas on Saturday night, might find time to explain a matter which closely touches himself ? What is the proper name to apply to 'the con- duct of a public man who, in a position of trust, acts as Mo Foster acted in speculating in North-West lands we leave to Mr. Foster and his apolo- gists to decide upon. The public will probably, however, form its own opinion. The Toronto News, which is working overtime now to make an appear- ance of defence for Mr. Foster, who has nat yet been, Jonah-like, jettisoned from the tory ship, was in 1906 still in possession of its soul, and had a right to express an opinion free from tery' machine censoring. Here is what it had to say about Mr. Foster when the Imstrance Commission brought out the -astounding discreditable story under oath. Let the electors carefully peruse it, and ask Hon. George E. Foster to set himself right by fair and full explanations before he undertakes to lécture them on virtue and pro. THE SYNDICATE OF THREE. (Toronto News.)

Has the reader ever been informed t hat Foster has repented and made re« stitution ? Does Mr. Borden from his public platforms denounce find con- demn him for his part in these deals ? He does not.
