Then Sir John realized that he had been making a grave mistake. How could he rectify it P In the easiest way imaginable. He seized [the first opportunity of repudiating the Mail as his organ. At a qreat “Conservative gathering in London. he had the efirontery to declare that the Conservative Government had .notorgan ; that the papers which :supported that government were in- fluenced solely by patriotic motives. ‘He went further. He contended wthat the Mail is radically wrong ' in all its contentions coneerningFfiench Canadians and the Roman Catholic "Church. _ Such was the Mail’s answer to Sir john's London rebuke. But we venture to affirm that not one Intel-7 ligent man has ;been deceived by‘ this apparent split. Who has ior- gotten the incredibly large sums of public money paid to Conservative papers mostly for work which was never done? Who can even forget the hideous sycophany which these .papers have exhibited in landing to the skies :the mendacity ‘of their- grnastersgs truth, and their :iniquity After the disaster at Chambly,the Montreal Gazette sought to undo the {evil caused by the tanatical and ab- surd diatribes of its Toronto com- panion in arms. But the Mail, clung rigidly to its fell purpose. And it did so with the full consent of Sir John Macdonald and the other members of the Cabinet. The Mail was uni- wersally recognized as the govern- ment organ. Its mission was to de- fend every action of that govern- ment, and to heap the vilest abuse ‘on the Liberal opposition. And only too well did it labor to fulfil that mission. Novcrime, no blunder, no injustice, no remissness of the government were too black, too tplam, too monstrous, too flagrant to daunt its shameful and shameless zeal. Its slavish adherence went the length of condoning or of glory- ing in even the most abandoned profligacy and rascality of private :members who voted for its lord and .master, Sir John Macdonald. On Tuesday, the Mail in a dong and carefully worded article. pre- tended that what Sir John had said was true in every \partiqu‘ar. Love of Canada had a‘lways been, and wouldrcqntinue to be the only con-1 sideration which could sway it in its' treatment of every subject of dis- cussion. It wasmight in .all that it i had said of the Erench and .‘ of the Catholics, and it .was determined to preach these doctrines to the end; Of the struggle there, everyone knows the result. The infamous Franchise Act, a large Indian vote, the presence of two ministers of the Crown and of a score of the governâ€" ment’s most prominent supporters, nthe undivided influence ofpatronage and ot-corruption which ,a govern: :ment unsurpassed in modern history for their use. could bring to bearâ€" all these failed to do more than re- duce by a few votes the Relorm ma- jority at the last election. Chambly'showed so clearly the (terrible straits of the Ott‘évva "Govâ€" ermrrérif‘ln Quebec, that it was felt to be absolutely necessary to dis- count that defeat by an even greater victory in Ontario. Thus, it was held. the :rout which “threatened the Conservatives would he stayed, and the course of the Mail vindicated. Haldimand was selected as the field of battle. Ever since the execution of Riel .and the consequent agitation of the French, the Toronto Mailhas sought itO provoke a war 0t races. Nor did .it stop at this. From an occasional zinsult to Archbishop Lynch, it be- ggan, and has systematically continu- red, to make the most: desperate as- :saults on the Roman Catholic éChurch. Its object was plain. The Iliad desired to stir up the bigotry ‘which it falsely supposed to lie latent in every Protestant bosom. Should the foul and wicked design :succeed, the Mail was well aware that men almost invariably prefer xthe maintenance of their religious views to the triumph of their polit- ical principles. Naturally enough, then, that Liberal Protestants would take alarm and support the Con- servative party, which the Mail held up as the champion of the Protest- ant Faith. ERICHMOND HILL.

On Tuesday, the Conservatives of West York met in convention at Weston to select candidates for the House of Commons and the Local Legislature at the next election. For the Commons the choice fell on the present member, Mr. 1\. C. Wallace. For the Local, after a keen and bitter struggle, Dr. Orr, of Maple, secured the nomination over the sitting member, Major Gray, by a vote of 145 to 117. It will be seen, therefore, that out of the large number of 262 delegates, Dr. Orr was squeezed in by the narrow ma- jority of 28. When it is borne in mind that Richmond Hill, Parkdale and Brockton, which now do not , belong to the riding, were allowed : to send delegates, it becomes .evi- dent that the vote given cannot be regarded as an infallible proof ot the wishes of West York as now consti- tuted. It remains to be Seen how the Major will take this rather un- fair kicking. The Municipal Council of the annship of Vaughan met at the Town Hall ‘ou Tu‘eisday, the 14th inst, at 10 4;. m.

We say that the Mail’s article was inspired by Sir john Macdonald. We say that he approved of that article. And we further say that Sir John’s rebuke and the Mail’s persistence are nothing but a plot the object of which is to induce Protestants to vote against Mowat and to prevent Catholics from vot- ing against Macdonald. and unbridled rapacuy as righteousâ€" ness and pafiriotic disinterestedness? yEighth Wonder of the World.
