said that the course adopted by Sir John Macdonald and other political leaders in 1864, justified him in the line of action which he had adopted. But the question is asked, "Is the Ontario Government a coalition or not *‘ The answer we think is easily arrived at. So far as the local affairs of Ontario are concerned it is not a coaliâ€" tion, inssmuch as all the members of the Cabinet being agreed thereupon the.o is no sacrifice of principle. But so far as Dominion affairs are concerned the case is t, because Mr. Scott has pledged s both publicly and privately, to himself, we hope that his conduct will be worthy of his past carser. We should oppose him or any one else who opposed the Dominion Govermment on those poli. tisal questions with which they hare to deal, but any local asiministration which promotes the welfare of this province, need not, so long as they confine themselves to & feld of acti their legitimate fleld of action, fear any The erxplanstion given by Mr. Scott yesâ€" terday, tallied with that which appeared in the Clitizen a fow days since, which we beliered at the time was an asuthoritative indieation of that gentleman‘s position. As he stated in his speech, m 1364 Conâ€" servatives and Reformers joined together to work for the best interests of Canada, and therefore he, though still a Conservaâ€" tive in principle, and still opposed to his colleagues on Dominion questions, sees no reasson why he should not ally himâ€" Administration, to whom and to which Mr. Blake and the rest are opposed. Our position in reference to the Untario Government is identical with that laid down by Mr. George Hamilton in Ris very excellent speech last week,. We desire to gire them a fair trial, and trust that their policy will be conducive to the inâ€" terests of the Province.

Judging from the case referred to, this fear appears to be only too wel! founded, and this is the more <to be reâ€" gretted because the public are, as a geneâ€" ral thing, better and more economically served by a telegraph under Goverament econtrol thin by one owned by a private economical of time and money. When Mr. Saundfisid Macdonald had to be opâ€" posed it did not mind how much time was wasted or how much the progress of pubâ€" lis busingss was interrupted by the raising of petty immues=and of resolutions which could be of no practical utility to the country and were only intended to emâ€" barrass the Government.

The new Premier has undoubtedly a difficult task before him. For the first time in his life he will be able fully to appreciate how much more easy it is to find . fault, than to administer public affairs satisfactorily and well. But we trust that ho will be allowed fair play, and that nomember of the Party of Progress will condescend to adopt the tacties which have so long been in vogue with the Facâ€" the formation of the present Ontario Cabinet. Their position is somewhat akin to that of Galates, who upon being inâ€" formed by her creator Pygmalion that he had moulded her form and features after thosejof his wife, plaintively exclaimed, "What then, I am not an original !‘ So these Grit gentry aro disgusted, because they thought the Administration which they helped to establish was to be mouldâ€" ed after a purely Grit fashion and original, whereas it takes very much the characâ€" Jer, of that |Coalition of which they hare so long been jealous, and which they have learned to look upon as the very essence of political wickedneâ€"s. and a half been advocated by Mr. Blake , a doctrine which is not only dangerous, but, as he himself finds, impossible to carry outâ€"of course we allude to that fundamental doctrine of Gritism which provides that Party shall be set before everything else.

George Brown in 1866â€"7 for his own purposes, and at once accepted by the Grits as an article of their political fath, But what renders it far more ridiâ€" eulous in their case than it was in that of Earl Grey and the old English Whigs of the stricter sect is, that the party lines which they propose to draw are based enâ€" tirely upon dead issues which have lost al!

The statements by those parties he would require them to prove on a future occasion. _ It was tortunate for him that he required his conduct to be endorsed by his constituents, as with their :fl:onlho had no cause to fear what o might say of him.

As they had beard in the Writ read by the Sheriif the present election was necessitated by his, (Mr. Scott) having accepted of the Comâ€" missionership ot Crown Lands for the Province of Untario, which bom&:n office of emolument under the Crown constiâ€" tution required that his appointment should be endorsed by his constituents before it was ratified. All present were aware of thie events that had trampired in The Returning Officer shouted to them to stop the noigs and for a moment suc. ceeded, but soon the din began again. A constable was next dispatched to order them to cease but his dignity did not preâ€" duce its desired effect. Finally the Chie! of Police was sent to insist on order and to arrest the firat offender. As the men were on the slippery roof of a three story house the arresting would bave been a difticult feat. They, however, ceased roise and the Chief was saved from having to display his powers as a gymnast, â€" _ Mr, Scott then came forward and began to address the assembly, but just at this moment a gang of work men engaged on a building on the far side of the square created such a nolse with hamering to clear the snow off the roofs that Mr. Scott could not make himself heard. Dr. Beaubien said it gave him great plea ivw~+~ second the nomination which VNr, Lewi, u«l made. He briefly spoke of whiw ho considered the advantage of having a representative of the city a memâ€" ber of the Ministry. had taken in accepting the position of Commissioner of Crown Lands in the Local Legisiature. â€" For many years past Ottawa had been seeking and demanding repre sentation in the Cabinet, and till the preâ€" sent time her claims hai been ignored. Now thit a seat was offered to her repreâ€" sentative, it would be unwise of the elecâ€" tors not to take advantage ol it. Mr. Soout had done right in joining the Cabi= net, and if he was not returned to the House, there was little chance of Ottawa being in the Cabinet. k __J. B. Lewis, Esq., came forward, and said he had much pleasure in nominating the Hon. R. W. Scott as a fitting person to iepresent the city. Mr. Lewis was laborâ€" iag under a severe cold, and his remarks were only audible to those close about him, He said he hoped to see Mr. Scott returned without opposition, and he apâ€" proved of the course of action which he A few moments before twelve o‘clock the Returning Officer, Sheriff Powel!!l, made his appearance on the Hustings, and after baving fhad the usual proclamation made and the Writ read, called on the electors to name some fitting person as the City representative. It was well iknown in the City that no opposition would be offered to the late member, thesHon. R, W. Scott, Commisâ€" sioner of Crown Lands, and the only inter® est manifested in the proceedings was to hear what explanation Mr. Scott woald make of his recent course of action in Toronto, in entering the Blake Cabinet. Ow THE ELECTION YESTERDAY, lock rmit him to mention. Suffice it to say mt he said nothing to prevent him from acting with Mr. Blake, a gentleman, fot Wwhom he had long had a high respect, and whose sbiliti%‘ were already recognized throughout the whole countr;, As a legislator that gentieman had already made a high mark, while his private charâ€" acter was untarnished and above reproach. Besides this he had called to associate with the House, whose opinions he could hear. Be siid that it it was in the reach of a single member of ths Government to invoke power of the Governor to suit his own prf::to whims, it would be a dangerâ€" ous exercise of power, and a most unconâ€" stitutional proceeding to make use of i1t. The result was the Government woere compelled to resign, and certainly no Government ever fell so ingloriously. They passed into obscurity, unwept, unâ€" honored and unsung. Standing their groun i with a minority constantly dwindlâ€" down, until their leader at the last was :fiy able to muster 12 votes at his back. Was ever so humiliating a épectacle seen on the foor of any House, in any constituâ€" tionally governed country. ‘They went out at last, and Mr. Biake was called upon to form a Gaveroment. ‘That gentleman had called &ion him for his assistance in forming a Cabinet. He had not anticipated such an interview, and had not expected it, Alter defining what would E:ctbo course of the new Government for the next â€" four bzun, mvib ln’yiirng Biiown the policy to rsued by Mr. Blake, he fonn‘x them fuln’-u more in accordance with his own views than those of the late Ad« ministration, There was no act of policy whwhhooonldnothurfilyondm& not a single instance in which his sentiments were not in perfect accord with those of Mr. Blake. There were a number of things in this connection which time wou‘ld not him, Mr. Adam Crooks, a gentleman whomg he had known intimately for years, better for flnm‘ if they bad had sufficient sense of honor left, to have aecepted the udgment of the House in the first but they preferred to fight out each issue as it came up, and endeavor to evade the reproaches cast upon them by the votes of the House. It was inferred from the course taken by the Ministry that it was their intention to have inroked the aid of the Lieutenant Governor in order to prorogue the House until the unâ€" represented seats were filled up, so as to see if there would be any chance of reâ€" taining the reins of Government. He (Mr. Scott), as Speaker, had thought it his duty to protest against this course. It had been ohnpd against him that he had "lobbied ‘‘ on that occasion, but he had no need to lobby. He saw gentlemen every day at his rooms, from both sides of of adjournment of the House. Under these circumstances he would ask if it was any compliment to him to accept a posiâ€" tion which relieved Mr. Macdonald of a very serious difficulty and embarrassment. They all knew the history of the ten days during which the late Government lasted after the session opened. It was one of a _ continued succession of defeats which the leaders of that Government would long regret. It would have been He (Mr. Scott) had decided then that he would not go to FToronto for another sesâ€" sion the pledged supporter of Mr. Macdonald‘s Government. Was he (Mr. Boott) to be attacked and his character asâ€" sailed because he could not give to Mr. Macdonald a support which he did not deem him worthy ofâ€"to be assailed with a ory that be had abandoned his party beâ€" cause he had refused to support a Gov« ernment which he felt to be in no way equal to the government of the country, At the last election he had refused to be returned to Parliament, unless free to use his own diseretion in all matters that same up. He had made this condition with his friends, he had repeated it at Toronto, and he had stated it clearly in his address to the electors at the nominations last March, and he had the reports with him to â€" prove it if necessary. _ In view of thess circumstances, then how could it be said that he had violated his pledges or that he â€" had broken any faith with the late Governâ€" ment of Ontario, Then it had le:n charged against him, why did you, then accept the muon of Bfuker under Mr. Sandfield onald. . He would explain the manner in which he came to take ‘the Speakership. During the session, he had been appesaied to by gentlemen on both sides of the House to accept the Speaker‘s chair, in the event of his reâ€"election. He bad stated that ifhe did accept the chair it would be only by an unanimous exâ€" snuion of both sides of the House. entlemen of the Opposition had cordiâ€" dl‘l:nnud to this proposition, and at a m‘ dinner in Toronto at the close of 1 session his health had been drunk and his name toasted as the future Speaker of the Ontario Asserobly. While in Toronto, some time ago, Mr. Sandfield Macdonald had come to him and stated that the (Government were very anxious that he should take the chair; and he had deâ€" clined, as he thought he would be able to accomplish more on the floor of the House. Before leaving Toront, a member of the Government had followed him to the train, and urged him to accept the nomination on the part of the Government for ‘the Speaker‘s chair, and he had ;fnn declined.
