Macdonald has proven himself a most capable, efficient, obliging and careful office. May he long be spared to be quartermaster-general is my hearty wish. In the second place, many years ago, when the conserva- tive party was in power, I was offered, but refused the offer, the position of both deputy minister of militia and adjutant-general, then the two highest militaty positions in Canada, Again I was offered the portiglio of minister of militia, but could not see my way clear to sacrifice my principles for the sake of: party or office. "You may rest assured that there is no likelihood of my retiring from the political game, even though such a move might be congenial to political sycophants, until the freemen of Vie- toria and Haliburton or 1 personally decide upon such 'a thing being desir able.
