In addition to ’the. livery bill on which he is sued, 1fie. says there. are $8,000 other unpaid bills which were not contracted bfy‘ him or by the local association. All the bills of the aSSOCiation and his own personal ones he paid promptliy but in view of the explicit p-‘omises which he says were made to him by Hon. Mr. Stratton, and Mr. James Vance, he does not think he should be called upon to pay any. more. He is considerably indigent at the fact that the accounts have been. un- paid. as. it injuries ‘ reputation to a very large exten ,. When 1he arâ€" rangement was made to drop the protest against Dunlop rand havelhim‘; resign it was intimated in the News that going on with the. case and the counter case of personal charges against Hale would have resulted in Mr. Hale making disclosuses notde- sired by the Liberal party. Appar- ently thOSe disclosures have been brought about in another way. STRA'I‘TOY DENIES IT. Upon being interviewed, the Hon. Mr. Stratton gave out the follow- ing statement yesterday: “I gave no moneys to Mr. Hale in connection with his election, nor to anyone for him, nor did I make any promise to him, other than that I had no doubt, that should he accept the nomination the party would asâ€" sist him with hi!“i expenses, meaning, of course. his legitimate expenses. He was speaking of the cost of an election. I do not know what as- sistance, if any, he received from the party, nor do I know what the cost of his campaign was. I had no conversation with Mr. .Vance regard- ing any expenses in connection with the campaign. nor had Mr. Hale any conversation with me in the presence at It. Vance. The cost of the elec- flon as given by Mr. Hale, is the Ihtemmt as reported is correct, I'ould appear on the face of it to be most absurd. I addressed four meetâ€" ings in North Renfrew at the reqLueSt of the committee, and do not know anvthinz about the costs of conduct ,..-_ .V $1,038 livery bill. Mr. hale nau sonal livery bill, and when a second bill came in he told Ringrose Bros. to look to the Liberal organization at Toronto for payment, Instead, Bingrose Bros, through their solici- tor, sued Mr. Hale. In his examination for discovery, Ir. Hale stated that the arrangeâ€" ment, as stated abova, was made with him when he visited Toronto, and promised to accept the nomina- tion. In answer to the question. how much his personal expenses were Mr. Hale, in his examination. said $10,- 000. Outside of this, he said, all ex- SO DOES VANCE. James Vance, Liberal organizer, was seen with reference 'to Mr. Hale’s sfatement. He said: “All I’ve got to say is this: Of course, I can only speak for myself, but I never discussed with Mr. Hale what his election expenses would be, a: who should pay them.

Macdonald, only in power four years, had five supâ€" porters unseated after the next elec- tiOE whereas after being 22 years in power the Liberals in 1902 had only one unseated. The record of the two parties since Confederation was as case has no more terror to the evil doers than the gallows to -another class of oflcnders, and yet the Lib- eral party is branded with the vilest epithets, as if their whole business was to breed such \men as were re- pog‘ted‘ in the recent election trials. I make; this challenge. If any perv “that in no case, either in the gener- al or the\ bye-election trials, was any agent of the Government connected with! the wrong-doing so much de- plored. Every case of corrupt prac- tice exposed was the work of men for whom the Government was .in no sense responsible. They may have been outsiders, but they were not ap- pointed by the Liberal organization of the province or the Liberal party of the ~ province. No Government can prevent bad men from violating the election law. Men commit mur- der and arson, and there is not one commandment that' has not been broken. We have made the election law very rigid, much more rigid than proposed by Mr. Whitney, when the Act was tmended two years ago. In every instance the ,7 Government have doubled the penalties suggested by Mr, Whitney, and yet the law is broken.

WILL NOT RESIGN. “It is said‘it is the duty of the Government, in view of their small majority, to. resign. To that my an- swer is that neither the theory or the practice of the Constitution im- poses such an obligation upon the Government. A small majority may be inconvienent,‘ and sometimes em- barrassing, but if the government of the country is carried on with effi- ciency, a majority of one. or three is as good as a majority of thirty. In fact, a Government with a’large ma- jority. Under our party system, one of the chief restraints on a Gov- ernment is the ‘ strength; of the Opâ€" position. In our case the Opposition is certainly strong enough numerical- ly to prevent us from going far as- trayg The legislationsxof the last session 'is the best proof that could be given of the right of .the Governâ€" ment to hold office, even if their ma- jority is ‘small., You may go over' the legislation of the past twenty years, and you will not find a. single session in Which, there has been more useful legislation. . We have had the amendment of the Went Act, the re-esta'blishment of the ‘Soo” in- dustriesâ€"a matter of. national . im. portance, and one that will lead. to the ; development of the ’irOn indust- who ries of Canada "as no other proposi- tion previously devised could have done, and legislation with regard to railways and education, which would have done credit to the strongest Government this ‘province ever had.
