But when it comes downto loot- ing the public chest to attempt to build himself up, as Mr. Ross is doing, by establishing another Normal school at London, it is time a halt should be called. If such an institution is a ne- cessity to day it surely must have been a tow years ago, and why, therefore was git not built then? 1870..._, 1871.-... 1872.... 1873.... 1874.... -It is carrying out Hardy s principle iof bluff at Owen Sound a few years 'ago, when he tnld the citizens that if Mr. Patterson was not elected they could only expect cold justice, and so to-day a promised expenditure of $7 5,- 000 for a Normal school is held out as a bait to the people of London to elect Ia supporter of Hardy & Co. - $4-4- AL- -L 1892 . . The following table shows the at- tendance at the Normal schools, which is almost the same trom 1891` to 1897. Why then the necessity of this large expenditure?

Cancel the Cumpany s licenses and prosecute the parties criminally, both of which moves should have been made. No, not at ' -all, but compromised the steal for $10,-. 000, and let the parties go with a cau- tion. And what was done by Mr. Hardy with the Government agent, McDonald, who was knee deep in the mire in the transaction. Was he prose- cuted? Not at all, but he is still, as admitted by Mr. Hardy when the question was debated in the House a short time ago, in the employ of the Crown Land Dept.
