THE DAILY EXAMINER, 7 dalled Gibeken MAY 22, 1897.
OFFNSIVE PARTISANSHIP.
fenator Ferguson Sets Forth Some of tne Liberal Metheds by Which the Jignish Election was won,
[From Senate Haneard.}
Hon. Mr. Ferguson rose to taateie whether the government is aware that James F. White, of Alberton, in the pro- vince of Prince Edward Island, bounty officer, under the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and Alexander Bannerman Warbarton, of Charlottetown, jaw agent for the government of Canada in said province, gave evidence of offensive partis- anship by taking violent and aciive part in the resent by-election for West Prince? If so, is it the inteation of the government to authorize their commiesioner, Mr. H. J Palmer, to investigate the matter; and whether the government regard active and violent interterence by their otticials in favor of government candidates as a good cause for removal from office ?
He said: In rising to make the inquiry which stands attached to my name on the notice paper, | may say that, apart from thei question of order that has just arisen in this House, I do not think it is desirable that a very exhaustive discussion shou!d take place in connection with this subj-ct of dismissals from office until the very
Department of Justice—who may be em- ployed only fora week or a month. He cannot be called an official of the Crown. He is simply the agen’ of the Department of Justice there, and he has never been
, recognized in any degree as an official of
the Government, nor bas be ever been re- stricted in his action.
Hon. Sir Mackenzie Bowell—Has he, ae alawyer, any greater claim than a day laborer.
Hon Mr. Scott—He is simply a tem- prary agent of the Department of Justice.
Promises of Public Grants,
{From Senate Hansard]
Hon. Mr. Fergueen moved :
That an humble address be presented to His Excelleney the Governor General ; praying that His Excellency may be pleas- ed to lay before the Senate, copies of all telegrams sent between the 15th and 27th of April last, by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, to Bernard D. McLellan, or any Other in West Prince, Prince Edward Island, ‘promising grants for harbours, piers or breakwaters in that conetituency, different from or in addition to, amounts
, Stated in the estimates now before parlia-
ment.
He said: —I do not propose to make any observations on thie resclation, but simply to move it and wait, as we mh to wait, for information from members of this
important papers asked for by my hon. friend, the leacer of the opposition, aud my hon. fiiend from Brandon,’ \
have been brought down. I think it is ex- traordinary that these papers should have | been delayed so long. They should certainly have beea before the House ere this. Then we would have everything be- | fore us, and J fel] sure that it these papers | were before the House, it wouid not be | possible for my hon. friend the Secretary of State to say that not one per cent.of the | emplopes of the government have been | dismissed since the present government | came into ;ower. I feel certain, as far as | the province [ belong to is concerned, that if the returus that have been asked for, were brought down, it wonld be found that a much larger number have been in- terfered with and dismissed, and that is not all. A perfect reign of terror exisis in that province. A commissioner has been appointed who is travelling all over the province taking evidence and receiving charges againet officials, and tue result is that the officials all over the proviuce are in astate cf terrorism. Charges have been preferred against them, and they do not know who is accusing them. A very
deplorable state of things exists, as far as the offisials of the province are concerned, and the other
natura) consequence arises from this state of thingts that a great batch of expectants of office is created and is getting larger day by day, pressing the members and press - ing the government to make dismissals. It is a state of things that ought certainly to be bronght to a close. It is very de- plorable to have such a condition of sffairs as I know exists in my province, and |! believe exists everywhere througbout the Dominion. My object in asking this ques- tion ie to ascertain, if possible, from the members of the government wheth2r they bave one rule for what they call offensive or active partisauship so far as it ap- plies to Coneervatives» in office, and an altogether different rule as ap- plied to thove who are friendly fo the administration. Idare say my innocent friends in the government benches will
rise when f am done and say thev are not awere of active inteference by the men
named in my inquiry. In my place as a
member of parliament, I now state in this
House, with the responsibility attaching
to my words which I know must attach tu
them asa member of the Senate, that
thece gentlemen that I have named, took
a very active and whac I suppose would be called by their opponents an offensive part,
in the recent by-elections. I saw them
myself at public meetings. I heard them addressing meetings. It was a matter of curreat report ‘that Mr. James F.
White, Bounty Officer, canvassed the county with bounty cheques in kis pocket —that he travelled the wtole extent of the riding, speaking at pablic meetings 1a the
interest of the Liberal candidate, repre- senting him,in fact, in his absence. I[ know thie, because I heard him speak and I am informed he carried bounty cheques
around with him, using them to influence voters in favour of the Liberal candidate.
I make this statement so that the mem-— bers of the goverument cannot say that they ale pot now, at least, aware that these gentlemen pursued this course in the contest. I want to kaow whether with this ivformation Lefcre them, the government think this is a sulject for inquiry, that active and offensive political partisanship is all right as loag as it 1s exercised in favour of the candidates of the government of the day. I hope we shall get some tangible ground to stand
upon.
Hon. Mr. Scott—The department has ao knowledge whatever of these gentlemen having taken a violent and activ- port in the recent by-election fer West Prince, and they have no inteution of investigating the matter. If the facts are as stated by the ben. gentlemen they are following the bad example set by their predecessor.
Hon. Mr. Ferguson—No, no.
Hon. Mr. Scott—I am credibly informed by an hon. gentleman, now in his place, that the practice of the Jate administration was to have these bounty cheques given to the canvassers in electiou coatests.
Hon. Sir Mackenzie Boweli—Is that right?
Hon. Mr. Seott.—-I am so advised be an hon gent'eman in this chamber. I am advis
ed that that was the practice—that it was done in Nova Scotia.
Hon. Sir. Mackenzie Bowell—Was it correct to do it?
Hon. Mr. Scott—No, I do not think it was, whether it was done by the one Government or the other. As to Alexander Bannerman Waburton, he is not a govern-
| government, with very great patience until
return will .be brought down... I shontd think that, heavily taxed as they are aod vast as their labors are, it will not take very long to prepare the report for whichlamasking. I hope in five or six
bis
; we eks at least they will be in a position to
bring ahe information down to this House.
Hon. Mr. Seott—There is no objection | to the address if there are any such papers. 'T am not aware that there are any, but I sball call the attention of the Minister of Marine to the matter.
Hon. M. Ferguson—I hap en to know that there are papers,
Hon. Mr, Scott—If there are, they will b> bronglA down.
The action was agreed to. anocltiiiiiiiamiidh diel eines BELLE RIVER BREAKWATER P.E. !.
—_—_
Mr, Martin Makes a Motion. (The House vf Commons Hansard) Mr. Martin moved for:
Copies of all correspondence, telegrams, engineers’ reports, dcv., relating to the ex- tension of the breakwater at Belle river, in Prince Edward Island.
He said: Mr Speaker, my remarka ca this question wil be very brief, and I think I will be able to conclude before 6 o’clock. Last year I brougbt this to the attention of the House and of the Government. I was told then by my hon. friend the Min- ister of Marine and Fisneries (Mr. Davies) that engineers would be sent down and that he hoped some progress would b+ made, [ think the Minister should take energetic action, considering tbe peculiar position of Prince Edward Island, which is such that the products of the Island have to be shipped away in the short space ofa month or two, and consequently they want good shipping accommodation. There is no other partof Canada so situated as Prince Edward Island in this respect. The shipping season extends priucipaily for only one or two months in the spring or fall, and eny delay is ruinous tothe farmers, When December comes, if the products of the island are not shipped, then they have te remain there all winter. It is necessary, therefore, that shipping accommodation should be of the amplest kind, in order that the farmers may be enabled to send their products to market. This work that I ask for would not involve a very large expenditure, aud I trust that it will not be delayed this year again. I hope to have the favorab!e consid >ration of the Government. It being now 6 o’clock Mr. Speaker, [ shal! conclude.
