The particular case most dwelt upon by Mr. Whitney and his followers in is the charge of extrayagance and was that of the Musqueosh bridge, and it may be taken as a typical case. In Hamilton Mr, Whitney put the charge as follows : "Musquvus{) bridge, pay of overseer, July 2rd to September 6th, both days inclusive, 49 days at $3.50, total $171.50 ; amonnt of pay list $92.93. Now, what are the facts? This particuâ€" lar bridge was evected by contract a great number of years ago, and cost $1,500. In 1880 it became necessary to replace it, as it was in a dangerous conâ€" dition,. Mr, Wickett was selected to reâ€" bwuuld it, and came to Toronto to consult with the Superintendent of Roads as to ie cherscter of the bridge. and other matters. This being decided, he bhad to prepare the specifications of the timber. make lists of the other materials requirâ€" ed, and plan out the work. He advised that considerable expenditure could be sayed if certain bolts, rods and irons which had been taken out of anocher bridge were used, and he was instructed to go and select such iron as could be economically used. He did so, and arâ€" sanged for its transportation,. â€" He then had to let the contract with a sawmill can be overcome in almost all cases by the use of Scott‘s Emulsion of Codâ€"Liver Oil and the Hypophosâ€" phites of Lime and Soda. p%hilc it is a scientific fact that codâ€"liver vil is the most digestible oil in exâ€" Wasting in Children Dealing with the Pubiic Accounts it is enough to say at present that neither Mr. Whitney nor his party ever moyâ€" ed to have a change in the systern of auditing and we believe it is ‘incontroâ€" vertible that less than 1 per cent. of the total expenditure for the past 26 years has been contested by the opposiâ€" tion ! ! Those who profess to finow say only threcâ€"fifths of 1 per cent. is the amount protested ! ! Mr. Whitney‘s tilts at Mr. Ross act on the boomerang principle. Mr. Whitney complains of the mulâ€" tiplication of ofticials, yet would create more, by making an advisory board to help the minister. _ What is the Provincial Educational Association but such a board? There is there a Trustee Section, Public, High School, and Kindergarten Sections, and various subdivisions of these, costing the country nothing, yet giving advice to the Minister with a wanton freeness. The resoluticons passed there, have not infrequently resulted in legislation, and who better flited to guide progresâ€" sive Educational legislation than a practical minister advised by practical What teacher could ever truthfally say that Mr. Ross was an autocrat? The School System, like all human inâ€" stitutions is not perfect, but in compar ison with other systems it has received the highest enconiums from impartial jJudges, and Mr. Ross may honestly claim, as it has been freely conceded him, some of the merits of tgat system. Mr. Whitney is before che people protessing to be fair and we propose to €xamine some of his statements. First his charges otâ€"â€"wellâ€"talsehocd, against (i. W. Ioss come with a very bad grace. Mr. Ross‘ character has been too well established to be tar nished by such mud slingiog as Mr. Whitney indulged in. Mr. Ross has risen from the ranks by meritorious work, he needs no defender, and Mr. Whitney made a grevious mistake when he talked so flippantly of a gentleman whose character as a private or public man is decidedly not inferior to his traducer. No attempt at decoration was made and no display mottoes grected Mr. Whitney‘s eves. Amongst the erowd were a goodly number of Reformers and Patrons, who gave an attentive ear to the charges of faithlessness, &ec. against the Hardy Government. His voice improved bowever as he went on. . He has a very good plattorm appearance, though scarcely an orator is a pleasing speaker, is neither irritatâ€" ing nor personally abusive excggt when dealing with the Hon. G. W. Ross which gentleman must have trod somewhat heavily on Mr, Whitney‘s corns in the past. The Town Hall was Thuarsday by the intellig otf this town and neig I‘sten to Mr. Whitney, 1 opposition. He had been ovposmon. e had been speaking in larton the day previous I:xd drove here from Hanover ftor the afternoon meeting returning to Hanover to speak at night.

The conrse in South Grey is equally clear. Mr. Morgan is the consistent supporter of this government, and though holdirg the greatest respect personally for the other candidates, that respect must be subordinated to the public good and South Grey voters should pronounce in no uncertain tones for this able and progressive governâ€" ment by marking their ballots for Morgan. Mr. Hardy sells the timber? Yes. What would Mr. Whitney have done? it is recorded in thke Chronicles of Ontario they would have given it away. When Mowat, Hardy, Ross, Parde, Fraser and the Liberal party were hclding on to this patrimony of the people, Mr. Whitney and Mr. Whitney‘s triends, would have quictly sutkmitted to be robbed of the timber and the minerals which they now proâ€" fess such anxicty to safe guard. Direct Taxation? _ Yes, Mr. W. said the Globe of I880 bad sounded a note of warning. Well, it must have been heeded for we are far from it yet. The World of 1896 said Mr. Whitney had "neither intuitive nor acquired knowledge of the dutics of a member of Parliament." Is the World‘s opinâ€" lon of 2 years ago yet justified ? 60 cents in every $100.00 has been questioned by the conservative party as the estimates passed through the house. _ Mr. Whitney made specious appeals to win opponents by claiming that there was no need that party lines should be drawn as tightiy in Trovinâ€" cial as in Dominion Elections _ How innocent to be sure ! Although at the opening of his speech he lauded the party system as a necessity under pres ent conditions, and went out of his way to compliment such men as Baldâ€" win and McKenzie. " They sell the timber which is the property of Ontario" says Mr. Whitney And why not? _ Mr. Haycock on his recent visit here very clearly justified them for doing so and pointed out that it was a question whether they should not have sold more. Mr. W. showed what money they got from timber, mines, etc., is it not "fair" to point out, what Mr. Whitney did not do, where the money went ? Education, Railways, Colonization Roads and Institutions for the helpless and the suffering are the outlets for the weaith passing through their hands and so wisely has this been expended, that, as we pointed out before only about A: put it together. The result of his work was that a hridFe, which originally cost $1,500, was replaced by another equally zumguud and servicable a bridge for @C all all delivered it became necessary for the first time to engage a few laborers to assist in framing and preparing the timbe‘r for erection. When the timber was all ready to be Fut into the bridge he engaged a sufficient number of men to tor the cutting of the lamber required ; and while waiting for the lumber to be sawn he was instructed to examine two other bridges in the locality, which were said to be in a dangerons condition, but his services in connection with that were included in this particular account.
