One of the greatest needs of the day is , purifying our politics from dishonesty and , , cant. If the same-couroe of slander, mis- _ representation and "downright. falsehood ~, were pursued by one set of men in commer- ' cial orbusiness life against another, as is done in political life, the courts of law would be invoked for ' the protection of one, by the punishment of the other. A If Mr. Cameron, of Huron, had falsied do- cuments of any description other than the public documents, which he has so garbled and therefore attempted to mislead the 'public mind, he would have been driven, from the society of all truthful and re- spectable citizeus. A-government against which such a course is` deemed necessary forits defeat cannot be a very bad one; * `We do not think that anything more scandalously dishonest has ever disgraced even Grit methods than Caxueron s.garb- ` ling the public documents with reference to Northwest affairs.

Well, we say good luck to them all, even in this Mowat line nomi- nation is not elective.

He knows what are our local needs, and wouldignore any faction An honest man and a farmer is the man at this crisis to send to the Legislature; and if the `respected Township Clerk of. _Flos could be induced to take the field, there would be an amusing stampede of speculating lumbermen on theeve of the 28th proximo.

Again: he is trying to secure it- by a midnight march.

Victory for his party and . most are the leading, motives for dissolving the House a year before it expires by lapse of time. Every intelligent man, whether Reformer or Conservative, must be convinced that Mr. Mowat, under the pretence of being Ontario's champion, has betrayed the best interests of its people. He has gerrymandered thirty-two con- stituencies, and in every case the interest of his party and not the gcod of the voter was the leading consideration. He has step by _step taken from the county councils. and therefore from the `people, the rights-they had of appointing certain county oieers. He deprived the councils of the licensing power to give oice to partizan oicers, and a sad mess they have made of it. His policy has driven the railways, which were largely built with the people's money and which were intend- ed to be independent and competitive lines, railway corporations. The educational policy of Mr. Mowat s Government has fastened an unnecessary and burdensome tax upon every parent in Ontario by the increased price of school books which the school book monoply entails. While it is Grit profession that it is wrong for the local governments to interfere in Domin- ion politics, Mr. Mowat and hisiministers are stumping the country in the interest of Mr. Blake, and in every way possible throwing obstacles in the way of the Do- sympathy with the Riel cry in Quebec in which the obiect is to drive the Dominion Government out of power for upholding the law and punishing treason. The elections in Quebec were purely upon that issue. and here is what Mr. Mowat tele- graphs to Mr. Mercier, the Quebec leader in the Race and Revenge crusade : T\______ . __ -. --- uuu cu, wan .I.
