NEWMARKET ERA TUESDAY FEBRUARY Was Another Apostle of Purity tire CUrSV- A Which proved a Boomerang The Sutton Meeting in a Drill Shed- Chain of Sutton The Sutton meet- J Those who pay the least taxes

of the man charge test Hitherto he has pictured Mr and blankets The speakers retained head gear and spoke over coat collars turned up to their wars The reporters took their notes with hands and when either of the speakers wanted a drink they broke the ice in and poured the nectar out Because of the cold and the lateness of the arrival the candidates the meeting was abridged to a certain ex tent Mr Davis opened the meeting with an explanation of the reason for the holding of the byeelection as a result of the dropping of both protest and crosspetition by mutual arrange ment to fight the election over again His opponent in the two meetings al ready held had not discussed one sin gle question Wherein Had He Failed What Mr Davis asked had the member for North York done during the years he had represented the con stituency by which he had forfeited the confidence of his In what way had he neglected the pec- pies interests in discharging his du ty in the Local Legislature In what he failed to speak for them on the floor of the House in dealing with important Legislation which had come up during past 13 years He had introduced many important measures into the House in that time some of which he would refer to This lack of criticism of his public acts was a tribute to his faithfulness and earnest desire to dis charge well the duties of the respon sible position with which they had honored him He pointed out the change in the general situation since Davis as begging him to drop the proceedings tonight he said I was equally anxious as he was and if the truth were known I was a little more anxious than he was After repeated slurring references to Mr Davis as The Christian poli tician Mr Lennox took a new posi tion with regard bo Judge Morgans marginal reference to the excess pard by Mr Davis He said this had been placed there to Mr Davis And the Liberals tittered again The Whitney candidate next threat ened bodily injury to the gentleman in charge of the Literal interests at Sutton Said he If he gets without receiving bodily injury he is going to he a very fortunate man He then concluded with this gratui tous insult to the wife of every hotel keeper in the riding We are watch ing Mr Davis now every time he goes to see how much he gives to the wife of the rntel keeper Mr Dai is in Reply Mr Davis had not correspond ence with htm but speaking from memory Jackson Elliott had applied for a job in New Ontario a year or a year and a half before the election I did not promise him a position said Mr Davis I do not make promises of that kind My custom is in replying to applicants for posi tions to state that the request will be considered when vacancies curred and I never promised Jackson Elliott a place either directly or indirectly for the purpose of getting his vote of the Liberal Committee Room at Aurora daughter Will Mr Davis go with and get this man to write this name in our presence Mr Davis Yes certainly Ap plause i And thus the Mutt failed and what Mr Lennox hoped to turn into a rousing climax proved a boomerang of the kind He was Visibly nettled by the unexpected ending of his leap in the dark The meeting then adjourned Takes His Own From Tie Globe of Wednesday Mr Herbert Lennox the Con servative candidate in North York is among the most astonishing person ages that have ever flashed on that or any other constituency During the general election his new methods escaped particular attention amid the general hurlyburly But now when the eye of the can be We sure it will cause great to the heart of Rev Percy of to learn that the gentle man who has hitherto occupied so large a place in conception of immaculate although no longer possessing his confidence will still retain the confidence of the Liberals of North York- course of his lengthy epistle Mr Percy takes it upon himself to say If we are to become a great happy and prosperous- nation bribery personation ballotstuffing and ail such abom inable corrupt practices must be ruled out yet notwithstanding this this apostle of purity turns his back on the party and the candidate representing that party whose record in the election courts have demonstrated by three trials to one that the Liberal party is the cleanest Perhaps it might give additional comfort to Rev Percy and his friends Messrs Lennox Smith I Co- and strengthen his inward consciousness to read the following evidence taken out of the trial of the last unseated mm Mr Clark that in a A hotel at had slipped a quarter into the hand of James Sharp blacksmith telling him to buy a drink for those in the bar He also admitted receiving in alt and spent over in election expenses One Donald on another occasion admitted having been treated to liquor on election day at McClures hole and was an agentof Clark The record so of the Sop election proves the abundant flow of the ardent And yet this party of purity Rev Percy because of righteousness indignation of whiskeys power turns his back on the very men who given the only temperance legislation the Prov ince has obtained Mr Percy may try to persuade himself ho has done thing but he will have dif ficulty in persuading his friends that Circumstances

although Mr Len nox insisted he had resigned on Jan uary 2nd the Mall had its reporter inquire of him daily whether he had resigned yet even- as late as the ear ly part of February when he did re sign fi At Stounville Mr Davis his hearers that the old trick of trying to spoil Grit votes by sending one dollar bills through he mail with requests to Vote for Davis was being repeated Two instances had con lo his attention Tuesday and on Wednesday six of these letters had fcecn received at his Committee Rooms at Newmarket warned his friends at Sutton to beware of this cheap trick to spoil their votes In conclusion he asserted that his by his attitude had fair name of North York throughout the length and the breadth of the lie had charged wit out proof and without foundation that the of the riding were corrupt Who of you in this con be asked Mr Davis Yet he insinuates that the people of North York arc It Is an in sult to an honorable I know you will resent at Hie- proper tinier In his

afterwards lie thought Mr Davis was unprepared and Called hand Now would like to see one of these envelopes with the dollar hills that Mr Davis says his friends arc receiving saW he Very well replied Mr Davis here Ik one And Mr Letinnx walked to the front of the platform and studied trump In atony aileace lc did The incident raises a whole host of us although but one or two need be dealt with The first which naturally suggests itself Is why Mr felt it necessary to take such an unusual course The man who enjoys the confidence and respect of his neighbors is the man whose a wellworn phrase Is as good as his bond whose yea Is always believed to be yea and his nay nay Such a man does not tra vel with a sellswearing outfit in or der to gain credence for his state ments Mr Lennox if wo arc to take his own view it Is not that sort of a man He thinks evidently that his statements need more than ordinary confirmation We are jus tified In taking him at his own esti mate and in order to give his utter ances during the campaign their due weight it would seem to be necessary at the end of each speech that he should kiss the book and declare that everything that he had said was true etc Any real sense of the solemnity of such a declaration would tend to detract largely from the which distinguish ed Mr- Lennoxs former rampage the constituency How much more binding a state ment is hacked up by this oath than one without any such support is a nice question in law although not In morals There is a statute providing for the taking of extra Judicial oaths and this at first glance would to come under such a designation hut it is clear that the statute- never contemplated the selfadministering feature that Mr Lennox imparted- to it Could Mr Lennox be prosecuted In case fact sworn to were found lacking the essential element We dare not attempt to unravel a question so delicate In jurisprudence and will consequently leave It to those more learned In the of the law We might suggest how ever that Mr Lennox should travel with his own special and This would do away with the objection able selfbinding attachments And when we look around for a for this office there at arises fore the mental vision a large gentle man with a singularly counten ance whiskers who need not be named but Who would nil the bill admirably What a team would make a Liberal has since been re- urned lie was charged agreeing to become a candi- date for money consideration this covert attack upon Christianity This is a Christian land and it has nut usually been suggested that a public man is less useful or desirable because he also identifies himself with the principle of active Christianity Mr Lennox will probably move a vote of censure on Mr Davis for su perintending Sunday School and at tending church Nevertheless if Mr Lennox would identify himself a with such movements he would not find it necessary perhaps to carry a in pocket to secure credence with his hearers The ROSS Bible used to be
