"I on hot own, and though the conspiracy against the premier has evidently wide ramifica- tions in the tory parliamentary party, there is a very strong and general feeling that “ the old man ” has been very badly used. Sir Mackenzie has made a digni- fied and manly statement to the senate regarding the situation, and he com- mands respect and sympathy. For the bolters and conspirators there is a far dif- ferent feeling. They are the ones who have injured the conservative party and damaged, if not politically ruined, them- selves. Their conduct in bolting at the singularly inopportune time chosen is in- explicable. It must have been done, as Mr. Foster would say, “in a moment of wefiness.” They must have been panic- stricken by the popular condemnation of the ministry and all its works, pronounc- ed in Montreal, in Jacques Cartier, and in Cardwell. They knewâ€"none knew bet- terâ€"the hollowness of the victory claim- ed in North Ontario, and the policy of “ addition, division and silence ” that snatched it from a surprised and misled electorate. They decided. therefore, to provide a “scapegoat," and secure for themselves and their co-conspirators the spoils of office and power. But they did not stop to consider the consequences if Sir Mackenzie declined to be made a ‘ “scapegoat”; and they overlooked the 1 fact that the premier has more power than any of his ministers. and more even than seven in deciding the question of cabinet construction. They boltedâ€"“into the soup ”â€"and left Sir Mackenzie mas- ter of the situation for the time being.

We are surprised, however, and pained to find the Warder’s views and language reprinted prominently in the Toronto World as the “deliverance of Major Sam. Hughes," “whose claims." the World adds, “ to the militia portfolio are being pressed in the event cf Sir Charles Tupper taking the reins." The papers of the same day mention Mr. Maclean, of the World, as a probable colleague of Sir Mackenzie Bowen in reconstruction, and if this is the case the Toronto newspaper, in publishing the Warder's attack, is as bad as Mr. Foster, and the rest of the party may well exclaim, “ Where are we _‘.0" We believe people and parliament will condemn the application to Sir Macken- zie Bowel] of the insulting epithets “poltroon and coward.” The premier’s long services to his party and his country en- title him in the present painful situation to considerate and courteous treatment , and we believe he has in this part of the country personal friends who will take occasion to condemn the use of such lan- troon and a coward by seeking to wreck the party, is merely a question of a day or two at the farthest. The great major- ity of ‘Sir Mackenzio’e friends feel certain he will advise his excellency to summon the 01:! war horse of Cumberlnnd, and go down like a true Briton with no stain on his name and fame.” change the leader, they could have done that after the speech had been disposed of, or at least dealt with in part. If they were afraid to take a Vote of the house on the question of remedial legislation, then they should have had the common honesty to admit political cowardice. They have made the most cruel reflections on the venerable premier in order to provide some excuse for their own contemptible conduct, and they have been thwarting in every possible .way Sir Mackenzie's perplexed efi'orts at cabinet reconstruction. According to the reports they are, then, sufficiently humanâ€"are the seven boltersâ€"to wish that the pre- mier may fail, and to work to tint end. But there are evidently wheels within wheels, and cabals within cabals, in the conspiracies racking the tory parliament- ary party new gathered at Ottawa. There are cliques to snatch cabinet places out of the difficulties created by the “ bolt,” and there are wiser ones who are quietly get- ting into havens of refuge in any ofice that cm be made or opened for them. Some of the conspirators stand by Sir Mackenzie in order to get the vacant port- folios; others have quickly “ sized up” the fact that few, if any, of the “seven bolters" can go back again, and away goes a fresh series of casz and booms. This will to some extent explain, though it will not defend, a coarse attack upon Sir Mackenzie Bowell in the columns of the Lindsay Warder, edited by Mr. Hughes. M. P. for North Victoria. The Warder closes a long article on the situa- tion as follows : “Whether Sir Mackenzie Bowell plays the man and the patriot and sends for Sir Chafies Tupper, sr., to form a cabinet, or performs thefpart of a. pal- troon and a coward by seeking to wreck in the “back-hold" wrestle in the council chamber? Fancy the various stages of young Tupper’s resignation and return. and the Montague and Foster intrigues, and all the other caballings that have been going on. being enquired into and reported “in an unofficial way” to the representative of the crown. Fancy a loading paper gravely imputing to a‘ governor-general a line of conduct that had as its main object to belittle the premier and force him to retire. It is hardly necessary to say that Lord Aberdeen is personally too high-minded to listen to the little-tattle and caballinq that has been gzing on, and that as governor. general be has a proper sense of the duties of his high office, and that would preclude the probability of any sensible man taking the line described by the Mail correspondent. _ EDITORIAL N O TEE.
