HON. GEORGE BROWN’S OPINION. a a | It cannot be questioned by anyone, that | the influence which the Globe newspaper | once wielded through the Reform ranks, | was soely due to the late lamented manag- | ing director, Senator Brown, and but for his untimely end, that journal would, with- out doubt, long since have educated reform- ers to believe in the Canadian Pacific Rail- way scheme, and Mr. ,Brown would have prevented it from becoming a political issue. As long ago as_ the 3rd September, 1862, Mr. Brown, when writing to his friend, the late Hon. L. H. Holton, by implication ap roved of a continuous railway track from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as the fol- lowing extract from his letter will estab- lish :—'‘Whatever smail politicians and the London Témes may say, you may depend upon this, that the Governmeat and the leaders of the opposition perfectly under- s'and our position, and have nv thought of changing the relations between Canada and the mether country. On the con- trary, the members of the govern- ment (with the exception of Glad- stone) are set upon the Intercolonial Rail- way anda grand transit reute across the continent. But for Mr. Gladstone's oppo- have reason to believe that the | scheme would have been announced by this | time.” (Vide page 202 of *'The Life anx Speeches of the Hon. George Brown,” by | Alex. McKenzie. So, if such a scheme was feasible in tle |

| opinion of the Jate illustrious reform chan - |
