He was acquainted with cor- ruption, but m «11 his life he nevtr kiietY anything iike the second election over tlie Scott Act iu Halton, He knew personally of $19,000 being spent at one point. Were he to give a rough candid guess he would be safe iu eaying that not less than $200,000 waj ppent by the License Victuallers. They were that in the Liceuse Victullers, perfectly confident of Fuceess. Hundreds took bribes, aud afterwavds went to the polls and voted against the repeal of the Act. Were a vote, a fair honest vote to be taken n^TWT^he spaajority in favor of the Act would be simply overwhelming. He knew whiskey was even yet sold and drank on the sly.

It is impossible to give ovou an outline of tlie arguments advaucwl (for the debate occupied two hours aud ten minutes), but it is generally con- ceded that the subject was well handled by both sides, and that if the spciilierd did not get to the botton; of tbe queston they were not very lar from it â€" at least not much farther than some of those orators who awaken the halls.of our legislatures over it, zm\ whoes utterances appear so very wise when we read them iu the daily papers.
