Blake mill Johnston Review the Case From Their Respective .. Sides HOLD OPPOSITE {VIEWS Mr. Blake Speaks very Severe- ly of the Defence Witnesses and Mr. Johnsten Re- buke: Him (Mail and Empire.) 1 Hon. S. H. Blake. K. 0., known‘ as one of the most able of Ontario's brilliant lawyers, made. a masterly effort on Thursday in his summing up on behalf of the prosecution of the evidence submitted to the Royal Commission in the Gamay enquiry. Calm, dignified, even-voiced, disdain- lng to appeal to the emotions, yet at all times powerful and convinc- ing, he placidly and diapassionately argued from premise to conclusion, picking up the scattered threads of evidence and making of them a strong net of circumstance, in which not only Hon. J. R. Stratton, Pro- vincial Secretary, but his colleagues, and his aides-deâ€"camp are hopelessly” entangled. He dwelt at length on the position of the entire Ministry in relation to Gamey’s transfer of allegiance, and deprecated the fact that a Minister of the (frovm could fall so low as to regard as a matter for jocular comment the willingness o! a member of Parliament to- sell his constituency and himself for a low paltry pieces of patronage. All knew of what Mr. Stratton. their brother Minister, was doing, and all were therefor culpable before the country. , V vv ~-..v_ . That there was a corrugxt bargain, none could deny ; it. appéifired in the letter of Septenibbr 10th. In return for Gamey’s support he was to re- ceive the consideration usually given to Government supporters. TWO IMPORTANT POINTS Mr. Blake brought out two points of very great importance. One in regard to the Sullivan to Gamey telegram of January 27th, and the other relating to the X.Y-.Z. letter. He showed that although both Stratton and Sullivan denied that the Minister had any knowledge of that telegram asking Gamey to “RWY, THURSDAY. MAY 28th. I903. com. to Toronto on the following day, J nanny xth. Mr. Strntton told Mr. Hammad that Gamay would be in Toronto on the follow- his dg. Mr. Stratton had had no Mention with Mr. Gamay, no other means of leaning his move- ”est; new by the telegram, and he a?!» that he had no knowledge of t. The X. Y. 2. letter of February 10th. the existence of which Mr. Stratton said was unknown to him. and which Sullivan said was written on his own initiative, was a direct and specific answer to a letter sent by Gamey to Stratton on February 7th. informing him that “there was a row on." and lntimating that he might resign. Moreover, although the letter was an important one, no answer was sent. This was a di- rect prop! of collusion Imtween Sul- livan and Stratton. STRATTON AND SULLIVAN Considerable time was spent by the learned advocate in considering the evidence of Frank Sullivan and of Mr. Stratton. In scathing periods he ven'ted his indignation on the Minister who could, so far forget his honor and his responsibilities, and so far outrage all decency as to urge a witness to .“forget some of the things, and who could ask the same witness to make a change in a sign- ed in-terview after the interviewed man's back was turned.

How did it get there paid ? DU 1V: 6" v.

Just before court opened, Mr. J. J. Foy, K. C., M. P. P. came in, and was shaking hands with the lawyers in the case. Mr. 2Blake, in greeting him said with very striking emphasis ' “My dear Foy," and even the court crier wreathed his features into rcâ€" miniscent smiles. While Mr. Blake was commenting on the evidence of Frank Sullivan, A __.._L unusabcuv Um-â€"'_ _ While Mr. Blake was commenting on the evidence of Frank Sullivan, he reflerred to Frank's statement that in the expression “our man" he had intended his father. “Hardly respectful, was it?” said the Chanâ€" cellor. “No, my Lord," said Mr. Blake, “but it nevertheless smells strongly of Frank Sullivan.” The Chancellor also commented on Sullivan and point,” returned the Chance “Except the facts i ' said Mr. Blake.

If. PAID IN of the Hon. Mr. utchiord said that the appointment had been made on the recommendation of Mr. Michaud. M. ;P.P. and'deuied that the Governâ€" ‘ment had any corrupt intention. While the rules of the Wt imight have been violated. it was sometimes the custom in case of small payments to send out the monies without waiting for bonds in order to get the work done early. Mr. Whitney pointed out that the rule of the department had delibera- tely qeen brokenâ€"a pretty state of aflairs indeed for a minister to be compelled to admit. 'He criticized! the premier severely for his phrase, ' "You can’t prove it," and said it was one that his predecessors in the office he held would have deemed un- worthy of them. It was not the! first time the premier had used such ‘language with regard to charges made in the House.

I would leave po- litical life before six o'clock to-nflrt it I thought so. I would repudiate any political party hc-aded cum by a Gladstone or a John the Baptist ,who proposed that no man could on- gage in public transactions without his motives being impugned.

DOCTOR HITS BACK The inference was that he meant Dr. Nesbitt. and the member for North Toronto promptly responded. He said what he had alleged was that there had been corrupt inten- tion, not a corrupt Barge-in. Re- proalches did not come with good grace from certain Quarters. Ho ask- ed the House to remember who had handled the Gamey lot ter. MAY NOT BE DUAL Asked if he thought the Liberals would force their plan to have only one Victoria, and to add Ilaliburton to Muskoka, the colonel replied: "I hnve a good deal of faith in the fairness of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. A. G. Blain, Sir Richard Cartwright} and others ; and I feel assumed that when they see the absurdity of their friends’ proposal, they will promptly do justice to the people of Halibur- ton. Why, rather than have Hali- burton annexed to Muskoka. I would advocate that even though it has only a populatiou of upwards of 6000, it should have a member of its own. There are many good men there, who could ably represent, it ;. but being part of political and judi- cial Victoria it should remain so.“ WOULD HE RLN “But, in case of there hei one Victoria. would you that 9" The colonel smiled and 53 case I am around when next comes onâ€"and unless smncl SUCH unauu. . 0:. “Did you not formerly derline the nomination for South Vicinz‘id. and refuse to be a candidate 2'” ”That is all past," said the colo- nel. “The nomination was offered ‘me for South Victoria years ago, Soon aitcr I came to Lindsay: but then I had no thought of entering parliament.
