Now, on the eve of an clection it would be well for the electors to reflect on gome of the scandals perpetrated by the party led by Sir Chas. Tupper. In the election of 1896, in the riding of North Ontario, John A. MeGillivray, the Conservative candidate was deâ€" €lared elected. A reâ€"count was held, and it was found that 21 ballots marked for Mr. Graham hbad been exâ€" Sracted and 21 marked for McGillivray gubstituted â€" therefor.

The leader and the party are the same toâ€"day. ‘Tory fraud and crookedness of a similar type were discovered in conâ€" nection with the Lincoln election of 1896, the Parry Sound eleetion of ‘ 1596; the Kent election of 1896; and the South Grey, the West Northumberâ€" land, the North Middlesex, the South Wentworth, and the Chateauguay elections of 1891. The his‘ory of Dr. Montague‘s polâ€" itical career in Haldimand is a blot on Canadian public life. _ The ‘nest of traitors" is a picce of Tory history not easily effaced from the public mind. In 1894 anonymous letters were sent to the Premier implicating Sir Adolph Caron in a bribe of $15,000 or $20,000 from the Montreal Belt Line R‘y Co. Caron blamed Montague and the latâ€" ter tried to put the blame on Clark Wallace. â€" The result was a parl‘amenâ€" tary ventilation of the matter, and a division of the party into the Haggartâ€" Montaguc faction on the one hand and the Wallaceâ€"McLeanâ€"Caron on the other.

Mr. Hugh John Macdonald has now addressed three large meetings in Eastern Canada, and of all there has been the same story to tell. _ Conserâ€" vatives attended theso mectings in large numbers, cager to see whether lugh John was likély to live up to his father‘s great reputation, and eazer also to approve of him if they could.
