As to the time allowed for sending in tenders, the letter of Mr. Darling to the Herald, of which a copy, along with other interesting correspondence on the same subject, is annexed, is a sufficient reply. Mr. White and his friends thus stand convicted of a willful and malicious slander, which canâ€" not fail to ensure the rejection of the OUpposition candidate by the electors of Montreal. ‘The following are ths letters to which reference is made : . To the Editor of the Montreal Gazette : Siz,â€"With to the charge nm.mmulh.mnx: kenzie, of having favoured Mr. Charles wuich _ Mr. To the Kiitor of the Montreal Herald. Sin,â€"â€"Having had an opportunity to beâ€" .: mation just now, with regard to his charzes aga nst Mr. Mackenzie in connection with the award of «. ontracts for the supply of | steel rail«, we are not in a position to say. We undertake to assert, however, that he ,in.udly regards it as not entirely sati«« factory, and wishes somewhat that he had not permitted his desire to get elected to run away with the good principles and decency of demeanour in respect of public affairs for which he has generally received credit. _ As a journalist Mr. White was always regarded as extrems in his party views, but his newspaper articles were _ generally free _ from the _ scandalous _ libels upon politiâ€" eal _ opponents â€" which _ ars _ charâ€" acteristic of the Tory preéss in Toronto. To put him up as a candidate for Parlia ment seems to have unfittedl him for | the position . which was _ acâ€" corded him as an editor, Mr. Mac kenzie‘s reply to his statements as to the steal rail contract could not have been more explicit or complete, and the only resort left for Mr. White and his friends was to acknowledge themselves slander ers, or endeavour to fix the onus of pre varication upon the First Minister. Th Intter was a step sufficiently grave to make most men hesitate before taking it especially in view of the fact that Mr‘ Mackensie ‘has never, throughout the | whole of his public career, been found tripping in a matter of/ verscity, . or in _ error as to a / statement of fact. Mr,. White and his apologists, beâ€" lieving doubtless that desperate diseases need desperste cures, and know:..g full well the desperate character of the situaâ€" tion in which they were placed, appear to have taken that step without a moment‘s | consideration. Their cunditfon is thereby | made ouly worse, as must that o( : ny per. | son who wilfully circulates a failsehood and strives to give it the appearance of truth by Tollowing it with other falsehoods, Whatever _ might have been _ Mrâ€" | White‘s . prospects of election _ in | Montreal West before thisâ€"and they were t evidently not very brightâ€"they must now | be blotted out entirely. « | _ Oune of Mr. White‘s statements was that | the Premier‘s brother was interested in a contract for steel rails, which he alleged was awarded by the former, as Minister of Public Works, to a Montreal firm. Now, it would appear from the way in which Mr. White formulated his charge, that he thought the faet of the brother of the Minister being interested in the contract 'v-n-‘&.“'. iteall implied ruption. . This would indeed be an ¢xâ€" traordinary doctrine, and in the case of a gentlieman belonging to a large family, would plase a considerable of the community at a jhmh which there would be not the slightest warrant. Why should a man, because his ers. It would be interesting, said Mr. White and his friends, to know when Mr. Charles Mackenzie went out of the in the most distinct terms that no brother of his was interested in any contract given out by the Government, and now Messrs, Cooper, Fairman & Co., over their signaâ€" tures in the Montreal Herald, state that Mr. Charles Mackentie had ceased to tion of a Minister happâ€"ned to be interested in it. Mr Mackenzic‘s brother, had, therefore, as good a right as any other responsible business man to tender for any work the public service may require to be performed, so long as the interests of the public were studied in the award made. It so happened, however, that Mr. Mackenzie‘s brother was not interested in this contract, and Mr. Mackensic said so, wherâ€"upon a state ment offered by Mr. Workman at the time the charge was made is quoted to show that the Premier told an untruth Mr, Workman‘s statement was that th* firm of which Mr. Mackenzie‘s brother was at _ one _ time a member . acted as brokers for the successful tenderâ€" guiding the déstinies of the conntry, be debarred from entering into competition with the rest of the public for a contract, which he might under other circamâ€" brother has shown himself individually, it is but what they bad a | come acquainted with some of the cirâ€" right to anticipate, knowing, as they did, | Ccumstances connected with the contract the law on the sulj ct, and the public at large would rejorce. .
