an explanation of the occurrence given lo the electors of this Hid ing I cannot believe that the Government would knowingly sanction for political ends conjada on Dei duet which constitutes an abuse lst of both military and civil author ity or that it can afford to be indifferent to so grave a breach of military discipline once the Governments attention is drawn to it Unless the Government and In particular the Department of Militia and Defeiice is lo be regarded as sanctioning behavior of this kind it is imperative that some action should be taken im mediately which will make it clear to the electors thai the of the Government of Canada and men in the service of the Govern ment of Canada cannot be em ployed for the purpose of thwart ing the rights of electors lo and full discussion of is
