tst ‘23": , oo (tho 'tttham infirm --The bolt of Hon. Mr. Costigan from the Conservative party and at- filiation with the Liberal party has led to a good deal of tal k. Some of his late party friends protests to be- lieve he is being seduced by the Liberal party with the promise oi a position in the government. They may keep their minds easy. that government with a majority of near- ly 60, with the country behind them, with abundance ot cabinet material in their own ranks, in not likely to seek a new member from the ranks of those whom the country rejected at the last election. Mr. Coatigan is welcome, as "7L2CrC"'""'"-""%'N,e" '"'""---iaTa7c2'diT, is every candidate and convert to Liberal principles, but he will be con- tent no doubt to take his place amonz the privuas in the meantime. --'ru delegates to the Peace Con- ference from Great Britian area-Sir Julian Ptsuneeiote, who has represent- ed Britain " Washington since 1893, and is a man ot commanding ability ; Vice-Admiral Sir John Fisher, ot'naval renown and a gifted servant of the crown; Sir Henry Howard, British minister at the Hague, who has like wise served at Washington and has a varied experience in international questions; and fourthly, Major-Gen. Sir J. Ardugh who has seen much naval service and has represented Britainat foreign courts with distin- guished credit. The United States will be represented by three or tbar delegates, the only prominent one of whom is Captain Malian who is con- sidered one of the most eminent naval critics of modern times. l‘rue to promise the Liberal govern ment have introduced the measure of redistribution, long promised to rec- tify the glaring abuse ot 1882, com- monly' called "The Gerrymander." The proposal of the government is to throw reprtsentation entirely within county lines-no partizanship can be charged in that-and, where a county is too large " one member a com- mission ofjadges is to settle the divi. sion. Gould anything be fairer? Surely the Conservative party should be satistied to abide by the decision of the judges. A large proportion of them are Conservatives, and the gov- ernment has never yet been charged with buying them, though it has with buying constituencies. Thursday, May 25, 1899. The division of 1882 ignored County boundaries so tlagrantly as to reveal plainly the object, viz.: to bunch Lib, erals in a few places, where they were strong anyway, and remove a Conservative municipality where ever it could be spared to throw in some where to weaken the Kelortn vote. Thus, Artemesia, in the strongly Con- servative East Grey was thrown into South Grey, with the idea that its Conservative majority would turn the scale in South Grey, while Proton with a Liberal majority, would still be unable to change the result in East Grey. Of course this scheme has never "worked " in South Grey. Dr. Lan- derkin having been elected in spite of the gerrymander and every time since, and this, " he has often ac- knowledged, is due in no small de- gree to Artemesia Conservatives who resented the action of their own party in bundling them about, by voting for the man intended to be killed. There can be no doubt however that in many cases the scheme "worked" and " several elections, by means of this, and the equally panizan " Fran- chise Act," Liberals were "dished," when their cause, their leaders, and than Odom deserved victory. Now, this attempt to rectify a wrong condemned by many Conservatives is being opposed with great vigor by Sir Chas. Tapper. In a speech last week the government are lashed as .' incapablel," ( not it tsingle exception he told Mr. Blair), securing elections by means ot a “brigade orrattians" sent from one polling place to another, .. gigantic frauds," "trightful inva- sions of independence," .. degrading public life," etc, etc. He closed his vitnperative speech as follows: "My hon. friend knows that unless he can resort to means of juggling with the franchise and the distribution of seals he will be swept out of power by the overwhelming tide of public indig- nation that " fast rising. and which will engulf him and all those who by bribery and corruption. secret. and THE REDISTRIBUTION BILL. 0.. publir. and in every shape and form. are degrading everything like public life in Canada. My hon, friend knows he mttgt resort to these deplorable, im- plnpcr and unprecedented means to keep that power which he feels is slip- ping from his hands. and will pus-i away when the intelligent electorate hare an opportunity of passing on him and on the conduct and tuouiminiatrntion, the incapacity that has marked not only the career but the position of every member l of that Government. I challenge them in the face of thin House. and l challenge them in the face of this country, to name one single act, one single public principle ever profess- ed no a cardinal principle try that pan-tr. that they have not trampled under foot since they obtained power. I chnllenge them to quote one single promise by menu of which they thus obtained power to mingovem this country that they have not yiolnted. I have giyen that challenge before, and it remains unmet. No attempt hue been made to show a single principle that they have professed that they have not utterly violated, or a single pledge on which they obtained the confidence. of the electoral. of Canada that they have not trampled mule: their feet Of course we cannot take up this bill In Represent shape. It will be printed and placed in our hands. But l undertake to any that the more closely it is examined the nun-e probable Will it be that l have not mu"uiderstood the objects and aims that the hon. gentleman has in view in putting this measure before the house." Few, we venture to say, have seen the “overwhelming tide of indign- ation" rising; still fewer Liberals are feeling in danger of being ' 'engnlfed " by it, and we believe the country has the idea that under Liberal govern- ment a few things have been done, which has given Canada a standing and a name higher than ever it achieved under Conservative leader- ship, higher than ever it could attain under Tapper leadership. We give a portion of Sir Wilfridls brief bat effective reply l "Mr. Speaker, the hon. gentleman l (Sir Charles Tupper) has just, told us i that he is shocked and horitied nt my] conduct on this occasion. ltell him very solemnly that I am not shocked or horvitietl at anything he says, scandal- (ms as it was, as it always is. The lion. gentleman has giyen proof more than _ oneethis session that he is no longer. able to discuss, that. he is able to abuse I and to use language so scurrilous as to be un\vorthy even of Billitigsgate. The i hon. gentleman says- that We obtained pou el' by appealing to prejudice. Does he forget his own history y Who Went to Winnipeg in the year-1596 and asked the people ot Winnipeg not to place) poWer in the hands of a Roman Catholic ( and French Canadian ? This of course was not an appeal to race prejudice. The hon. gentleman should be ashamed, it' shame could show itself upon his brow to use such language and try to fasten such charges upon men better than himself. I Sir Charles 'ruppev--There was not one word of truth in the statement that i the hon. gentleman (Sir Wilfred Laurier made to his friends in Quebec. Sir Wilfred Laurier-l an) accustom- ed to that. Whenever a charge is i brought against the hon, gentleman we hear from into that there is not a word of truth in it. We have won bye- elections by corruption and the lavish use of money, private and public. Mr. there have been more than 30 bye- elections won by the Liberal Govern- ment since the general election in 1896. These hon. gentleman opposite tell us to-day, when there is no responsibility behind their words, that we have ob- tained these victories by the lavish use of money, private and public. Sir Charles Tupper-Hear, hear. Sir Wilferd Laurier-Hear, hear again repeats the hon. gentleman. If he speaks his mind in that, how is it that he has not the courage to bring a single case before the courts? Not a single election has been contested. They have had their opportunities to prove their changes. The courts were open to them to establish their allegations that It. had used money wrongfully in the bye- elections. But in this as In other matters, they have failed to act. The hon. gentleman tells us that the people are with tum. As I have said he cannot discuss, but he can abuse, and he can brag. Abuse and brag form the whole stock in trade of the hon. gentleman. 1 tell him at this moment that all we desire is to have a fair appeal to the people, and if the people are to pro- nounce I am willing to leave. the victory to the best man."
