There are personal charges, in addition to the usual charges of general bribery and corruption. In this connection we are requested to state that Mr. Barron will not again contest the constituency, and though we regret his retirement from public life, we think it our duty to make thisstatement, and Mr. Barron wishes it, to avoid any misunder- standing or misapprehension hereafter. The liberal party in North Victoria possess within the riding many competent and available men to carry the liberal banner to victory, and theparty should have no dimculty in making a selection. The petitioner in the protest filed is Mr. John B. Robinson, and the solicitors are the firm of Kerr, Macdonald and Patterson of Toronto. # “ INFUENCE ” IN B YB-ELECTIONS. Peculiar circumstances are coming to light in the several constituencies that indicate the means adopted by the Bag- gart-Abbott government to carry the bye- elsctions for the tory candidates. The incidents in East ngin «a North Perth, referred to in the articles reprinted from the St. Thomas Journal and Stratford Beacon. throw a flood of light upon tory electioneering tactics. There, as in South and North Victoria. the ridings were infested by a dozen or more tory emissaries, composed of party heelers from neighboring constituencies and certain members of the Dominion civil service who have extended experience in the distribution of “influence." These men took no part in public meetings; they did not address the electors on the questions of the day; they were not can- vassing voters in the ordinary way; they did not, except secretly, associate with l TOR I THE - it impouible to ' ground. _â€"-££:_____ PR OBLEHS FOR QUEBEC. The new government of Quebec has before it problems and trials of no ordi- nary magnitude. Probably one of its most dificult trials will betoimpress upon its own following that afi'airs must administered with economy. One of the most obvious reforms, for instance, is the abolition of the upper house, but it is doubtful if Mr. DeBoucherville will be able to grapple with it. The financial problem will stagger -any ministry. The debt was enormous before Mercier came into power; it has been greatly increued; and now has attained immense propor- tions. The favorite remedy in the past for Quebec tory politicians has been a resort to the Dominion for assistance. This may be attempted now. The St. John's News, a tory paper, sees the “Breakers ahead,” and warns the De- Boucherville government against that course. The News says: “It is for Mr. H DeBoucherville and his government u now to prove that the confidence of the H electorate has not been misplaced; H otherwise, the same fate that has be- “ fallen the liberals will come upon them. I! The moral sense of the province has u been roused, and liberals and conser- u vatives have united to put an end to a u regime which threatened to involve us u in bankruptcy. If the present govern- ument pursues a similar course it need an expect nothing beyond a similar crush- “ ing defeat. We give the warning in H time, though we do not think it will be I. needed. The overwhelmning majority u of the conservative party places it in u the power of the government to enter u on a policy of retrenchment that may, I! in the end, cost them supporters, but u will in the end secure their triumph. u The heritage, to use the words of Mr. I- Shehyn, is bitter enough; there is not u only the provlincial debt, increased by M Mr. Mercier 100 per cent., to be met, H but also the letters of credit issued by u the late government. which the province u may have to honor. And, moreover, u it is meless asking the Dominion govern- “ meat to help us. \Ve have had our Mer. n cerite cake, and we have got to pay for H it. Any attempt at “better terms” would u be met by a counter demand on the u part of Ontario and the maritime pro- “ vinces that would be simply ruinous. n We have, therefore, to depend upon our- " selves alone, and we think that the u prorilwe is equal to the task, although it . n is a laborious one. ” That is sound advice and if Quebec adopts this policy it will do much to strengthen confederation. 31m. “Ontario's pewterâ€"hero” is the phrase the Toronto Telegram applies to D’Alton McCarty, and it is about correct.” We regret to learn that Hon. Alexander Mackenzie is again very ill. His physician is in daily attendance and it is not ex- pected that the aged ex-premier can survive many days longer. The Heslop murder has been in progress Mr. Bowell. gazing minister of railways, at Hamilton during the past week before assuring the skeptical that the spsllcatlon Mr. Justice Rose. It was expected the case would close last night. The; defence for eachisan attempt to prove an alibi. and it is thought the defence would be successful. Montreal Witness: “The news that Mr. L, P. Pelletier is to retire from the Quebec government is too good to be true. It is not likely that he will be put upon the bench. That self-respecting men can be found willing to be members of a cabinet which includes such a man is one of the mysteries of political life." We regret to record the death at Ottawa of Mr. Robert Romaine clerk of stationery in the house of commons, in the 72nd year of his age. Mr. Romaine was for many years proprietor of the Petcrboro Review. and was well-known and respected all through the province. He was a genial. kindly man. and personal friends will long keep his memory green. Mr. Romaine was abrothcr-ln-law of the late Hon. Thos. White and of Mr. Rich. White of the Montreal Gazette. The editor of the Calgary Tribune wrote to Sir John Thompson asking about the report that certain bargains in con- nection with the recent elections had been made to secure the premiership for Sir John. Now in his younger days Sir John Thompson had some connection with the press and his reply was picturesque. He stated that anyone who asserted he was intriguing for an omce he hadth refused notice.” ii "i ll “must be either a fertile liar or a hopeless fool, and in either csse‘is unworthy of The Globe says: "In the Senate last year liehed it for many days in its blackest type. chonotrwollecttheexaetterms ofthedeclaration. butitwasveryvlr- its? nolonearsnyhope city with the United States while the tory pu'tyconnolsthe Dominion government and parliament.
