The Mail and Empire on Monday called upon the electors to defeat the Liberal party and the Ross Govern- ment on the 29th of May, giving as a. reason that “ thirty yeam is too long for any body of men to rule, and as a consequence a change is call. ed for." The electors will scarcely think the above a sufficient reason for turning out a Government in a. province that has enjoyed, and is enjoying such wonderful pros- perity. No other province in the are not as free from crookedness as they ought to be, but it is fully to any that the guilt is all on one side. Mr. Whitney never delivers an aJdress Without referring to the heinousness of the transactions in the West Elgin bye-election, but who ever heard him condemn the corrup- tion proven in the South Ontario election a short time before. The-re was undoubtedly some crookedness on the part of certain Grits in West Elgin, but the Government was no more to blame in that election than Mr. Whitney himself was in South Ontario. The leader of the Opposition chal- lenged the Government to investi‘ gate the West Elgin election. The Gwernment accepted the challenge, and appointed three judges, includ- ing Judge Morgan of York County, to enquire into the charges of wrong- doing. Mr. Whitney seems horror- stricken when he refers to the burn- ing of the ballot-papers in West Elgin, but the worst the Commission- ers found was carelessness among the officials. The following paragraph relating to this case is taken from the Commissioners’ report : “ The commissioners can arrive at no other conclusion upon the evidence of all parties engaged in the destruc- tion of the ballots, etc., than that the said box with its contents was inadt vertently taken with the other boxes containing the general election re- turns from the vault to the furnace and there burnt. The evidence sat- isfies us that the said box with its contents was not destroyed with de- sign or deliberate purpose, but it in- dicates an absence of that care and caution in calling over, checking and scrutinizing the box-es and packages Mr. Whitney cuts a poor figure in posing as a moral reformer in the present campaign. If he would manifest a desire to punish wrong;- doing wherever it is found, he would have the good-will of thousands of honest electors. He is ever rerrdy to condemn those who are opposed to him in politics, but never seems to see that any blame can be attached to his political friends. A man who can only see far enough to blame one side, cannot be taken as the apostle of electoral purity. Unfortunately many of the elections on both sides containing the ballots and other elec- tion papers, which should be observ- ed in transferring such important papers from the vault to tho fnrnaee for the purpose of the Statute.” How glaring were the frauds practised on the electors in South Ontario in 1898 when Mr. Calder de- feated Hon. John Dryden. That election cost the Conservatives over $7,000, and Mr. Wm. Smith, a Tory ex-M. P., admitted under oath that he spent $1,200 in buying votes in that election. In giving judgment Judge Ferguson rcmarked:â€"“I think Mr. Smith's evidence cannot be too strongly condemned. I have nothing to say to him, but that his evidence is the most glaring piece of corruption I ever heard.” ' RICHMOND HILL. April Changeâ€"Imperial Oil Co. New Advâ€"J C Ayer & Co Changeâ€"C. & E.

A section of temperance WOI‘kU‘S in West York have sent letters to Mr. W. J. Ilill and Mr. J. W. St. John asking; for an expression in writing of their attitude on the ques- tion of Provincial prohibition. This looks very much like a political dodge. Everybody knows Mr. Hill’s position on this question. Only a few weeks ago he voted with his leader, IIon. G. W. Ross, to snpfort a prohibitm‘y mesnre if the electous show conclusively by their vot(s that they desire such a measure. And as Mr. St John appears on tl e same platform at political meetings with Mr. Whitney who is oppos<d to prohibition altogether, there is no reason to think he holds opinions different from his leader on this im- mrtant question.
