But the Liberals knew it and they also knew or suspected that Mr Breithaupt‘s clecâ€" tion would be protested aud his disâ€" qualifieation sought if there were the slightest pretext furnished. . Mr Breitâ€" haupt with that knowledge went into the campaign determined that not the slightest act of his, should be conâ€" sttued against him, if he could help it. This is the real reason for Mr. Breithaupt‘s extreme precaution | in wonducting his compaign. In the seâ€" cond place a perusal of the examinaâ€" tions of both candidates will readily disclose that Dr Lackner took just as great precautions in conducting his campaign; his ignorance of how the election was fought out was simply stupendous. _ Reasoning by analogy, then, Events must conclnde that the Dr know that a lot of crooked work was to be done for him and kept aloof. But the fact of it seems to bo that the Editor of Events has been reading the Mail and Empire‘s reports of the preâ€" liminary examination of the Liberal candidate and has not read the other side. This accounts for his presentaâ€" tion of the case from the ‘Tory point of view. Events further says that Mr -mw'k.w per annum in advance Mw.

If the Editor of Events will read his examiâ€" nation closely ho will fail to discover ‘M Mr Breithaupt could not tell who nominated him. All mention of sybâ€" terfuges to avojd ageney being proved would be incomplete without Doctor Lackner‘s evidence being examined. Mr Breithaupt was careful, and we have pointed out one reason for his care, but there is another. He isknown to be, naturally a very cool,careful,and calculating man and it was only to be expected that he would carry into an election campaign those inherent quaâ€" lities. To those who know Mr Brceithaupt the statement that he belongs to a low grade of politicians bears upon it the earmarks of profound ignorance. Events speaks of his signing the authâ€" oritiesfor scrutincers in blank, as if that were unusual. On the other hand that is the usual plan. and Mr= Breitâ€" haupt was taking no particular preâ€" caution. . Before anyone jumps at conâ€" elusions based upon oneâ€"sided reports of a preliminary examination common sense would dictate, that both sides be read, and if base motives can be atâ€" tributed to one side on certain eviâ€" dence they must also be attributed to the other on the same evidence. At Toronto on Tuesday, the Conâ€" servatives through â€" their Solicitors made a motion before Justice Osler to procure an inspection of the counterâ€" foils of twentyâ€"seven ballots (which are alleged to have been spoiled by deputies) to ascertain what voters used thein in order to bring up these voters at the trial as witnesses to say whethâ€" er these ballots are now marked the same as when they delivered them to the deputy returning ofticer. ‘They also moved to strike out a number of the particulars in the charges made in the crossâ€"appeal against Dr. Lackner on the ground that they were not acâ€" cording to statute.

The bride was very becomingly attired and looked charming. ‘The happy couple left on the 9:40 train for the East and will take a trip down _the St. Lawâ€" rence. They will reside in Montreal where the groom holds a good position in the G. T. R. freight department. Teachers‘ salaries aro likely to be a little higher in the near future as the number of vacancies.will be larger and the supply of teachers smaller than pioviously. Lastyear owing to the Normal Schools being full,over a dozen teachers in this county, who could not enter, had their certificates extended.

I also saw a deer making away from us as fast as it could go, From here to North Bay thecountry consists of nothâ€" ing but large forests of dead pine and. white poplar wellâ€"diversifiedâ€"byâ€"lakes in picturesque rocky basins and travâ€" ersed to the border of Lake Nipissing. The inhabitants of the village along the railway are chiefly employed in lumbering, agriculture is making very little headway. Unfortunately one of the large wheels of the engine broke, fell off,and was lost,and we had to wait four hours until an engine could be procured at the next station which was six miles away. During the time they weut for another engine we got out of the train with the intention of picking berries, _ but as it was midnight and we could not see very well, we climbed the fences in order to roost for the greater part of the night but finding it rather hard work to sit on the fence and go io sleep, we got down sucked our fingers ard then beâ€" gan to hunt for flowers. We passed thetime well enough until the new engine arrived when we again went on our journey rejoicing that nothing more had happened. _ When within ten miles of North Bay the remains of a young man by the name of Meintyre from Orangeville were brought to the depot by the trackmon. _ He had been intoxicated and fell off the train and was _ killed. Truly, _ Joe‘s _ liquor We left Borlin on the 22n0d of Aug. As the train pulled up at the Toronto depot, we could see the sailing vessels and steamboats slowly plying along on the water of Lake Ontario. Great crowds of people had assembled at the depot to see us off. _ At 2 o‘clock,amid the cheers of the Toronto people we passed onward, on our journey to the North West. Our train consisted of seventcen cars, which were all well occupied, thore were no less than six hundred people on the train all bound for Manitoba and the North West. The sleepers on the train although somewhat inferior to a bed were comâ€" fortable enough. We had everything on the train that could render us serâ€" vice, thercfore, we were well pleased with our accommodations. Whiskey seemed to be altogether too free on the train. On an average there were about ten bottles per car. The affects and effects were too soon to be seen, and sad results consequently followed,as you will read further on. Leaving ‘Toronto we travelled due north and passed through an clevated agriculâ€" tural region to the borders of Lake Simcoe. At Davenport we were deâ€" layed for some time. The locomotive had taken one of its crazy fits, conâ€" sequently it would not work, until it reccived â€"several pills During the time, they were repairing, we got off and walked through the village to see what it lookedlike,and onourreturn we saw several of the passengers who were already drunk playing base ball, using theempty whiskey bottles for a ball. Having stopped at Davenport for twenty minutes, we again resumed our journey. The country north of Davenport is very rugged, large forests of pine and white poplar, destroyed by fire can be seen for miles along the track, it makes the scenery rather monotonus to see nothing but the bare trunks of the dead trees standing there in solitude. Numerous farm houses and villages are now observable along the railway track. Large corn fields can be seen receding from the farm buildings. ‘The train stopped at Orillia where we were allowed to stay for fifteen minutes for refreshments. This town is very beautifully situated apd is a favorite summer resort for the people of Toronto who employ their leisure hours, when at this town, in fishing and hunting. Passing on, we come in sight of Gravenhurst and. after stopping there at the station for fifteen minutes we again resumed our journey onward and passed along within â€" sight of _ Muskoka Lake., Leaving _ Muskoka â€" Lake _ behind us we came to Bracebridge and from thence to Huntsville. These two towns serve as summer resorts and are manufacturing towns as well. The country north of Huntsville is largely made up of small lakes, ponds, rapid streams and marshy land. The lakes specially to their committee m report was therefore withâ€" drawn. The committee recommended that V. E. Weber be acting chairman of the Sewer Committce during the absence of Dr. Bowlby.
