ROAD MONEY ORDERS.

The Patriot of Saturday evening says :

“We are in a position to challenge Tae EXAMINER’s statement yeeterday that Provincial public money, road orders etc., were freely used to induce the electors of East Prince to vote for Mr. Bell on Wed- nesday last. Wechallenge THe EXAMINEX

t O insist ov the proof ora withdrawal of the statement and will return to the ques~ tion again and again until satiefied.”

As Tue Examiner did not make the rid- iculous statement that the Premier had

personally spent one dollar by means of

road~moncy orders, there is no reason why

we is nevertheless true that road-money orders were cashed in Charlottetown on | theday of the election and on the day im- mediately after the election—two or tk ree

falling into the hands of the same mer chants; and, it is true, also, that these road orders came from the direction in which the

Premier of this Province had been canvas-

for the Dominion Government caudi-~

date. The Patric

sing ing yt demands proof, well

knowing that these money~orders are now

in the banks, or, perchance, in the hands of

the government. But absolute proof is

not needed. The fact that THe Examiner

has made astatement and holis to it is, | | for the public, sufficient proof that it is true. Our contemporary boasts that it is “in a position to challenge,’ etc. If it}

is in @ position to challenge, it is tion to explain. public why road money orders from the

eastern side of East Prince, have been floating around in December, and also why, al-

Tbere are a good many who think lke the Star. But, the Montreal Gazette remarks “There are those who will doubt, however, if the Premier will know when lis time to come home. He has been shadow chasing so long, and baschased so many shadows, that it must be necessary to tell him several times to stop.
