UESDAY, MARCH 18 1879,

Hon, Mr, Sullivans Speech

on the motion cf

WANT GF GONFIDENGE

IN THE LATE GOVERNMENT.

(CONCLUDED: )

Hon. Mr. Srewarr had said that the House had voted a sum of money for the construction of that building.

Mr. Scriirvan said that in the session of 1877, when he asked for the tenders re- ceived by the Government for the construé- tion of the Asylum, a debate took place, but no motion was. made to the effect that any one of them should be accepted.

Hon. Mr. Stewart said that it was un- usti)i for Parliament to make ‘such a mo- lt lay entirely with the Government to say whether or not any tender for a pub- lic werk should be accepted.

Mr. Suttivan said that it was very evi- dent that the Commissioner of Public Woiks wished the Legislature to shoulder the responsibility of acceping a Tender and constructing an Asylum. The fact was that the House had never authorized the Gov- ernment to accept any of those tenders. He did not find. so much fanlt with them for accepting a tender and building an Asylum, but thought that they should have built a smaller and .

LESS EXPENSIVE BUILDING,

and, perhaps, a better one too, The hon, member stated that the investigation which had been made last session respecting the work done on the new building, so far as completed, proved that everything in con- nection with it had been properly per- formed. He (Mr. Sullivan) knew that such was not the fact, and that, on the con- trary, there were many suspicious circuin- stances in connection with the construction of that building, and which related to the

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

The hon. Commissioner of Public Works had declared that, when completed, the new structure would be a perfect one, but quite forgot to award to the hon. member for New London the credit for our having it in the condition it was to-day. Who was it that brought to the notice of the House the fact that bad stone, bad mortar, and bad workmanship, were conspicuous in thenew building? All this might have escaped the notice of the Commissiener of Public Works and the other members of the Government, and the result might have been that numbers of poor

UNFORTUNATE CREATURES

for whose benefit the Institution was specialiy intended, might have lost their lives by it. All kinds‘of unworthy motives had been attributed to the four Liberal- Conservative members who had resigned their seats in the Executive. He could as- sure the House that the Opposition had no connexion, whatever, with those resigna- tions from first to last. He had never even asked those four hon. gentlemen to attend an Opposition caucus, and they never offer- ed to attend one. They had not received support from

tlt.

THE OPPOSITION

in any way or form. How different the course pursued by the Opposition from that of the Leader of the Government and his friends! Yet the Government .were declared to be the champions of the non- Sectarian School System—pre-eminently the hon. membor for Bedeque (Mr. Cal- houn.) What course did the Government pursue when four members of the Govern- ment resigned their seats? Without ap- pearing to care for the fact that the hon. mémber for Tignish was the high priest of the SECTARIAN EDUCATION PARTY

in this Province, they invited him to take one of the vacant seats in the Executive ! They did not stop to inquire whether or not the non-Sectarian School System would be safe in his hands! They were quite wiil- ing to re-arrange their’ policy to suit that hon. member’s views.

Hon. Mr. Davies would most distinctly say that he had never offered any hon. member a seat on such conditions. He had never offered to change the policy of the Government. -On the contrary, he had dis tinctly stated that it would remain the same as before.

Hon. Mr. Sur’ ivan—The hon. member for Fort Augustus and the hon. member for East Point were also invited to acceptseats in the Government. If the Government could have secured those three gentlemen they were going to hand over the whole body of

tem, and k:ep ME. MCKENZIE IN POWER

indefinitely ; for all this took place just previous to the Dominion Election. If this great scheme had been accomplished, the hon. Leader of the Government would have endeavored to run both the Local and Dominion Governments t gether. In ne- gotiating with these three hon. members, the Leader of the Government at first put on a good-natured smile, but before the close of the interview he once or twice was nearly in tears! The Commissiorer of Pub- lic Works was not far off, but they kept him in the dark in an adjoining room ;

THE LEADER OF THE GOVERNMENT,

only, went into this delicate transaction. The hon. member for Tignish was offered a position worth $1600 per year, if he wonld

Jonly agcept the offer of the Go

vernment,

Romanists to the non-Sectarian School Sys- |’

Mr. Conroy said that during the nego- _tiations,the hon, Leader of the Government nade allusion to the settlement of a certain \‘* burning question” whieh had hitherto | divided them by which he [Mr. C.] under- siood the hon. gentlemen meant the School Question, but the latter words were not used. His honor stated that as that

‘* BURNING QUESTION ” -

was settled he conld not sce. why they could not meet as feilow ‘citizens should, and paid him [Mr. C.] some’ very great compliments.

Mr. Svitivan—-The Co umissioner of Public Works laughs ; bet bis laugh is dike the silver mounting on a coffin—it as pleasant to look at, but it covers a mass 0 tribulation and woe (iaugliter) . The Commissioner of Public Works sent the hon. iaember for Tignish a telegram asking him to come to town without delay.

Hon. Mr, Stewarr was_convinced that the hon. member for Tignish was satisfied, that the Education Question was settled, and that he would not object to accepting a seat at the

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL BOARD.

He understood that. the hon.. member was only waiting for the consent of his consti- tuents to his acceptance of the seat. .1t was also understood that the hon. gentle- man obtained that consent, but afterwards’ repented of the course which he:parsued, and showed his letter tc the Leader of the Opposition.

Mr. Conroy—The statement was false to the very core.

Mr. Svutrrvan said that there were few hon. members who would hesitate to decide whom they would believe---the hon. mem- ber for Tignish or the hon. Commissioner of Public Works--respecting what had been done. The Leader of the Government had no right to go to his political opponents and invite them to take seats in his Govern- iment, nor to write them letters marked

‘* PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL,” thereby preventing them from bringing his duplicity and treachery to the country to light. Those hon. gentlemen refused the otfers of the Government, not because they differed from its policy on the School Question, but because they disapproved of many of the measures which they had in- troduced and passed—more particularly the Assessinent Act. Leader of the Government proposed ‘to measures; a certain Act was strangled—

(THE ORANGE INCORPORATION ACT).

At any rate, the members of the Govern- ment were very anxious to take those hon. gentlemen to their arms, in order to fill up the seats formerly occupied by their four

latter had severed their connection from

accordance with the well understood wishes

of the people. [He Mr. Sullivan] believed

that in the eventvof a ' GENERAL ELECTION,

the members of the Government would fare

SIDELONG GLANCES at his manuscript. The hon. member had

hon. gentleman’s eye was cast over those authors in pleasing. rememberance, no doubt, of the many articles he had stolen from them! The Government were now before the House

ON THEIR TRIAL,

and they had clearly seen during the de- bate which had taken place that they did not possess the confidence of the country Knowing that they were in a minority, it was a most extraordinary course for them to pursue to meet the House and wait until a want of confidence resolution was passed against them. Such an event had never before happened in this Province. Did

SIR JOHN MACDONALD

pursue a similar course? No. When that gentleman saw that the opinion of the House of Commons was against him, he quietly resigned his seat in the Privy Coun.

Government. But the Government of this Province had such a strong desire to draw their salaries, that they held on to power until the last moment! He could assure them tnat they had gained nothing in the
