For There is something hideously gro- tesque in the selection of Alfred Boultbec to contest East York with Hon. Alexander Mackenzie. Ami- podezins in everything, there they stand~nll that is best in Canadian politics opposed to all that is worst. 1f :3oultbee were the voluntary choice of'the Conservatives of East York, we could come to no other Let us not cease in our efforts until we have sent to Ottawa, as we have already sent to Toronto, an honor- able triune who will surely give a good account of the County of York. Shall it be said that East York or West York will play the tool to Tupper? Yet Boultbee and in a less degree Clarke Wallace are -the men with Whom Tupper delights to surround himself. Boultbee has al- ready made many a fine venture in the sea of Boodle,VVallace has made one good one. We refer to the fifty mile hmit which he secured for his brother Thomas, and which, no doubt, he will share. But if VVal- lace's friends are to be credited, he has a. bigger stroke of busrness than any timber limit to make. The York Colonization Company de- mands the most careful nursing. \Vallace, who is largely interested in the scheme, will act as doctor, but he must get the medicine from Ottawa. No Topper, no boodle.» From llla'ke he could get justice. But who ever heard ot a Boultbee or a \Vallace who was satlsfied with , mere justice ? Once more we call on the electors of East and \rVest York to close up their ranks, and do their duty in the present tremendous crisis. All over the country the rascals are being kicked out. Shall we go out of our way to harbor two of the most scaly? Let us play the men in this battle. Here let it be clearly understood that Ontario does not want Tupper. Sir John Macdonald is at least pa- triotic, and the most corrupt of his :acts were never perpetrated to sat- .isty personal avarice. But Tupper is a loud, noisy, shameless bully,and what is still worse all his noise and :all his bullying have no other object than the bloating of his own pock~ ct. Tunper is hated alike by Itzriend and foe. Members ofhis own party reproach him for his anICll- mate greed. He is a hog among hogs; hejumps into the trough, he will have all. And so it has come to pass that old Tupper and all the young Tuppers have rapidly amassâ€" ed colossal fortunes all at the game of polllics. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Feb.17, ‘87 The results of Nomination Day go far to confirm what we have so many times affirmed in these col- umns. A strong reaction has set in against Macdonaldism. Macdonald himself is old and worn out, and has handed the leadership of the Con- servative party to Tupper. No wonder, then, that already the Op- position hold seven seats, while the Ministeralists have yet to gain their first Iidmg. Elecfiiop Agentsâ€"P. G. Savage. Wantedâ€"JET. Cameron. “@119 fii‘heml.

We beg to remind them that they have already done more than even the most exorbit- ‘ ant friendship should expect. Clarke Wallace and Dr. Orr have no more right to ask a man to forego his po- litical leanings on the score oftriend- ship than they have to ask him to change his religion on the score of personal favor. we tell the Re tormers of Vaughan that they are laughed at for their weakness. We tell them that the very men who tempt them to yield their convict- ions make merry over their simplic- ity. Fancy a fellow of the Kinnee stripe boasting ot the Reformers whom he has seduced from their a1- legiance ? Such, however, is the case, and we now ask the Reformers of Vaughan to remember that they owe something to themselves. They have done enough and more than enough for Wallace and Orr. _It is now high time for them to do some- thing for their party. It will be a shame,it will be a standtngd1sgrace, it in the splendid victory which we are about to gain in West York, Vaughan should come again trailing in the rear. J Vaughan is confessedly the strong- est Reform township in West York. After making every allowance for . doubtful and for new voters, Vaugh- ‘ an can give a Liberal majority of one hundred and fifty. We are well aware that the past two or three elections do not bear out this assert- ion. But it must be remembered that the township has been for years subjected to rather pecullar influ- ences. For a long time two men, pleasant and plausible, have been steadily undermining the Reform vote in Vaughan, by making the most of a quality most potent in its effects. That quality is friendship. It is well known that both Mr. W’al- lace and Dr. Orr have persistently posed before the electors as fine fel- lows, good fellows, pleasant fellows. Men have been urged to throw aside their political opinions just for the sake of friendship. They have been ; told that one or two votes can 1 make no great difference in the re- ‘ sult ot the whole struggle. And so successfully has this game been play ed, that in the last Provincial elect- ion, Vaughan, instead ofbeing the banner townshlp of Reform, actually brought up the rear.

And so we have Boultbee, in savage con- tempt of all decency, pitted against the purest and grandest figure in our public arena. Worn out in the service of his country, bowed down by ills contracted in his work, the old lion is doomed to be approached by a foul and filthy buzzard. But we rejoice to say that lriend and foe. alike are combining to drive off this disgustirg bird. We are pleased to know that on the 22nd of February, Hon. Alexander Mackenzie will re- ceive a strong earnest of the hold that ne has gained on the heart of East York. Always on hand. There is also a L. lNNES & SONS VA UGH A N R EFORM ERS.
