BNE 0S THE DETALS OF WHAT BORDEN CAN GIVE IN PLACE Of the Present Laurier Government | --So Far He Has Made No Declaggtion of Intentions-- Scandal His Only Plea. Woodstock Sentinel-Review. It is vey good of Mr. Borden to bring the leaders of the consérvative parties in the various provinces to this side in the campaign, and thus give the people an opportunity of see ing and hearing them. We are sure | the people will feel duly grateful for {such intellectual feasts as may be in this way--by Roblin, of Manitoba, for in- | stance, whose refined and elevating { humor must have left quite as deep jan impression on his hearers as the | vigor of - his eloquence--but, really, {the electors have a right to expect {something more.

Before taking {such a critical step, the electors have {a right to know what they are to have in its place. Surely they are en- titled to that. Mr. Borden offers him: self. He is a very respectable gentle- man and one against whom, personal ly, there is not a great deal to be | said, and no great disposition to say | anything. But a respectable gentie- | man is, fortunately, no unusual thing | in this Canada of ours. If the only | qualification for the premiership was personal respectability, the country would be full of eligible candidates. | But what else has Mr. Borden. to offer ? His claims to 'superior purity may be set aside. Such claims are always put forth by men who are in opposition. It is like making a vir- | tue of a necessity. More than that, Mr. Borden might be as straight as a telephone pole and as white as an lily, and yet be wholly un- able to give any guarantee of a pure government, If the opposition uifder his leadership has become so demor- alized that he simply cannot bring himself to be found assotiating with its leading and dominating spirits, what would happen if the party were in power? The fact that Mr. Dor- den has invited the conservative lead of the provinces to his side to scape association with his own fol- lowers, throws a queer light on his purity campaign. It a confession that he cannot trust his own party even in opposition. What would hap pen if the spoils of office were within their reach ?
