V \\’e conscientiously affirm that East York will be represented in the - next Dominion Parliament by Mr. Alfred Boultbee. We maintain that the action of Revising Barrister Tvlorgan in rejecting the applications ofnearly three hundred Reformers to be placed on the rolls, will ensure the defeat of the Liberal candidate, he he who he may. We call on lndge Morgan to explain at once what on the face of it has so sinister an aspect. It is high time to speak out on this matter. It 15 high time to call things by their proper names. \Ve are persuaded now by facts, as we were formerly induced to believe by appearances, that the passing of the Franchise Act had but one object. That object was not the extension ofthe franchise, it was not the set- tlement of the franchise; but it was to secure a life-long lease of power to Sir John A. Macdonaid. That veracxous statesman in his place in Parliament assured the country that his act was a fac- simile in all essentials of the English Franchise Act. His organs repeated the same assertion. The statement was grotesquely false. To go no fur- ther than the appointment of the ot- ficers,called Revising Barristers. In England they are appomted by the Superior Court~_]udges,and hold- of- fice for only one year. In Canada they are appointed by the govern- ment of the day, and hold ot- fice for life. In England they are men above suspicion. In Canada, in many cases,they are party heelers and hacks. \‘Ce are not averse to agood party fight at the polls. We think not one whit the less of opponents who frankly say that Liberal contentions and Liberal platiorms are in tenden- cy suicidial to the best interests of the country. \Ve know well that they are as sincere in their opinions as we are in ours. However patent to us may be the tolly of Conserva- tives and Conservatism, we are not so completely the dupes of vanity and prejudice as to hold that folly made manifest to the world on ac- count 01 its appearance when View on through our glasses. All this is right, and in the nature of things. All this is the outcome of govern- ment by party in which we are firm believers. And to the Liberals of East York we say that cm] was never yet so overpowering that it could not be shaken 011'. They must not submit to this insolenc defiance, this savage wounding of their rights. If peace- ful means may be found to rectify the wrong under which they now snfler, let peaceful means be used. But we tell them that at all risks Hmms must be found, it they are men and not cringing serfs. But we appeal to Conservatives themselves for fair play in this East York business. Do they wish us to be excluded from the polls in order that they may gain the victory ? Are we to be bound hand and foot, and then asked to dance? Do they think that Mr. Alfred Boultbee is so entitled by his abilities and by his virtues to a seat in parliament that they should acquiesce in such a monstrous injustice in order to se- cure his return ?
