use of such plea in order that they may have a showing of excuse to support the candidate of their choice, and at the same time show a seeming regret that they could not support the candidate. who was seeking their eulrages. The fact of Dr. Sproule taking only 365 of a majority. when many 01 his previous majorities were much larger. is surely a convincing proof that notwithstanding the al- leged race and creed cry. a great number of the electorate had trans~ [erred their sunport to Mr. Hartman, wnom all would admit. made an exceedingly good run in East Grey. lr. Hartman is a good man. no doubt. but if he had told the whole truth his excuse for deleat would have been that he had run us against a consti- tuency that was too solidly Conserva- tive to be broken into by a much abler man. 1 In his card of thanks after the election, Mr. C. W. Hartman, Liber- eral Candidate in South Grey, attributes his defeat to the race and creed cry. While we do not for a moment discredit Mr. Hartman’s statement, we venture to say that very few comparatively of the elec- torate, were influenced by the fact that premier Laurier is a Frenchman and a Catholic. We admit the un- fortunate truth that some do make “ utterances ” of each men do much harm in working up the antipethy of nee against nee. end, perhaps, of creed egeine: creed. out“. not on more equal ground the Govonnnont bu wholly failed to locum the “adornment of tho paOple.

It further regards the loss sustained in Ontario and Mani- toba. as a result of the wide spread feeling among the independent electors and among many Liberals as well, that the Government had fallen far short of carrying out the pledges on the strength of which it was placed in oflee. In Quebec the issue centred in Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was again declared to he the popular idol; in the Iaritine Province the power and patronage of the Govern- ment was a potent influence in securing a fayorahle verdict, hut in Ontario and lanitoha where the two 'â€"""â€"â€" â€" on the other hand acomparison of results shows in many cases a much reduced majority o! Liberal Candi- dates over the majorities taken in 1896. This being the case, and an investigation and comparison will show it to be so, we believe personal- ly that it is unwise to work up a feeling in Ontario and the English speaking constituencies of the Do- minion against the French portion of our population.. The result is now known, and we are in a position as a people to view the situation more calmly, and though our representa- tion from the province of Quebec in the House of Commons has increased since 1896, we are not prepared to show that the majorities in favor of Laurier Government are greater than they were at the preceding contest, and if the majorities throughout the province as a whole has not decreas- ed, neither we would say has the loyal sentiment of the populace to- wards our British institutions dimin- ished during thepast four years. De- spite the elorte of the Liberal organs and the Liberal party to prove their British loyalty. we believe such men as Tarte, Bourassa and others are anti-British in sentiment and for election purpcses, if no other, the The [act 0! Sir Wilfrid Laurier being a Frenchman. would naturally win (or him a large support from his own race, independent of a feeling of lay ality or otherwise towards the British Crown. In some instances of course the majorities were large in support of the Liberal Candidate, but pect that the same time and attention would be given us as we would have Otherwise received had the Liberal nominee been elected. We certainly find oureelvee in an awkward posi- tion. owing to the fact that Owen Sound and Calling» and. who me our rivals for government patronage. have succeeded in electing Liberal Candidatee.’ They will no doubt, through their membera, seek to bene- fit their own ridinge at the expense of Mealord.” In other words we’ll get only “ cold justice." DURHAM, NOVEMBER DURHAM CHRONICLE The Medord Monitor is lamenting over the defeat oi Mr. Hartman. .end leer: the town will get ”cold justice” et the hoods of o member belonging to the Opposition. It doesn’t say so in then words, but. this is how it puts the matter:~" We cannot ex- A. _--Aâ€" W. Irwin, fit. With regard to the question before' the electors the some writer says that it was impossible to see any distinct issue of importance. The fight was for place, and the chief question raised was about the char- acter of Mr. Tarte. The moral summing up of the situation is worthy of perusal, and deserving of consid- eration by all who place a value on morality. He sayszâ€"“But above all special issues in morality, in politics as well as in other walks of life. breaches of faith are to be con- demned, and those who are outside the party machines cannot help rejoicing in the protests entered by Ontario and Manitoba, the chief seats, of our political life. against the for-' feature of election pledges. to which, even in the lurid history of politicall parties, few parallels could be found.”l If along such lines as these, laid down by one of the foremost thinkers on the continent, the Grit newspapers and Grit political partisans, would figure the changed political conditions in Ontario. the frequent references to the Gerrymander would find no place in their political efiusions. Golden Smith, who is regarded to- day as one of the highest literary characters in the continent of Ameri- can. says, without any attempt at modifying his utterance, the very things the Tories have been preaching for the. past four years, and the very things that have been as forcibly deni- ed by the other party with regad to the Liberal policy, having been stolen from their predecessors in ofiice. In the last Issue of the Weekly Sun he says :â€"" Seldom, if ever, has it hap- pened to a ,pditical party to lose at once its leaders and its platform. The leaders of the Conservative party have been killed by the electors; their platform has been stolen by the Grits." Prof. Smith, who makes this admission of theft on the part of the Liberals is, and h 9 been a Liber- al in his political views, yet how few Liberals of the present day from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, down to the meanest partisam, who shouts of victory on the streets. will admit that the pres- ent Government has departed from the platform they formulated in 1893 The Temperance party in Ontario, though as a body, they cannot be credited with stability in their adhe- sion to temperance principles, had no small part in changing Ontario’s support of the Laurier Government. Many fell back into their old party lines on the eve of the election, yet a great many remained firm to their temperance principles, and voted to punish the Government, who ignored their pro-election pledges as soon as they got into power. The Gerry mander, though it may have had some influence in the political com- plexion of the present Administration is only a drop in the bucket, compared iwith other matters in reducing On- tario’a support in the recent contest. Moreover is it n0t strange that. without some substantial cause. the same Gerrymandered Constituencies that {our years ago supported the Laurier Government should after that short period turn their backs upon him and his administration, by reducing a majority of twelve into a minority of twenty? How again shall we account for the (act that some constituencies reversed their whole political character by return- ing to power for the first time a supporter of the Conservative party ? The Gerrymander cry in Ontario may devert the attention of the electors, but it goes a long way from explain- ing the changed circumstances. There is another factor, too, that must not be lost sight of. Since the Gerrymander of 1882 the Patron movement’has had its rise and fall. This organization, though it never rose to the zenith of its expectations as a distinct political power, has left its impress on the country at large. and to-day the genuine spirit of inde- pendence in political thought is due largely to the existence of the Patron movement. In some cases. and the constituency of South Grey may al- Pope says “ An honest man is the noblest work 0! 6611.” yet how few there are who merit that nobility of character when t‘hey come to be weighed in the scale of politics. Strangely enough men of all creeda and nationalities regard integrity as a varying quantity when the object sought for is political prestige. The man whose word would go at par in almost every other action of his life. is liable to forget himself in a politi- cal campaign, and do things that would cause him to blush were he influenced by any other motives. Why should it be so? Is a lie not a lie under all circumstances. and any- thing regarded as a heinous crime in the ordinary afl'airs of life is none the less heinous because it happens to be associated with a political squabble. It is regrettable to enter- tain such views but the facts justify the position. that upon the Government record the verdict should be given. In these words- the paragraph is con- cluded viz :-" The fact that notwith-. st and the "prosperity” cry, and what- ever advantages the Government. eujovs through the possession of ofice the verdict in Ontario and Manitoba was so emphatically against it, it di- cates the wide spread extent at dissat- isfwtion. it! it. #3.

Patriotism is the first thing. and English people are justi- fied in refusing to listen toa man even in the cause of temperance or religion who has first insntled their Queen. Three quarters of the government support is led by newspapers and Ministers of the Crown. who are re- sponsille for the creed agitation, utterances. which, all but themselves, claim to be disloyal, and an endeavor- ed to divide the country. The Conservative party showed them up and then they turn and charge them with what they themselves are guilty of. We are told that the French have rightsâ€"They certainly have. But have we not bad unmistakable evidences that they are trying to ex- ceed their rithts? Who refused to send the contingent which, during the past year, has done more for Canada than the government in {our years? . Who wishes that Canada become independent, and desires to be loyal until she is not strong enough to become a nation and claims the French are increasing rapidly in this country? Everybody knows. Previous to the election Sir W. Laurier preached “ fraternity, peace, brotherhood.” To-day civil discord is more pronounced than ever. Lanrier cannot bring about “ fra- ternity, peace and brotherhood.” neither is it possible for him to do 80 in Canada. Let the Conservative party stand together. Let it utter nothing that can be said to cause civil discord. Above all let the mem- bers be as one. Therein is strength. It is said that preparations are be- ing made to hold a Conservative Convention in Toronto within the next ten days. As the passions of the people are still being swayed by the tnany reasons advanced for the result of the recent election it is safe to say it is hardly the time to hold such a meeting.
