Mr. Prudham told us personally and Mr. Cooley tells us in his letter that they were "simply obeying the. unanimous decision and orders of the authorities of the Methodist church.” Were the orders “unanimous”? and if so have the “authorities" any busi- ness to dictate to the electors how they shall or shall not vote in a political campaign? We contend they have no right to assume a dictatorial attitude, and in politi- cal matters we resent any inter- ference either from the “authori- ties” or the preachers as to how to mark our ballot. We kindly ask them to mind their own busi- ness, and particularly so when the Both say that Dr. Jami-eson's or Mr. Ball‘s names were not men- tioned. That may be true. but will either of them say that lan- guage was not used that would leave a clear impression as to the identity of the persons referred to. A half told truth is often not much better than a lie. By referring to Mr. rudham's letter it will be noticed that he says. "It was built around a lie. it was intended to deceive.” The intention to deceive is What brands an untruth as a lie. and Mr. Prudham says in substance. if not in words. that The Chronicle and its informants are liars tn fact. Surely Mr. Prudham has forgotten the dignity of\ his cloth when he resorts to such language. and asks us to give it permanency by putting it in type. As to the general reputation of The Chronicle for truthfulness. we don’t claim a monopoly of that Virtue, but we have impudence enough to believe we can measure up well with Mr. Prudham or Mr Cooley either. Mr. Prudham denied to us per- sonally that his sermon in the Methodist church was a political sermon. but we cornered him up sufficiently to make him admit that the tendency of the sermon was to advance the cause of Mr. Bowel}. 'nd that he had advised the support of Mr. Ramage. in his kind.

Every province gave a majority, except Quebec. On analysing the vote. Sir Wilfrid found that only 26 or :1? per cent of the total vote was polled and he thought public sen- timent was not strong enough to justifx any action. Nothing done this time either.
