Barristers, Bt. Thomas, Ont. Dear Sirs -We beg to advise you
that Mr. Macnish has discussed st length w tn his solicitors the charges contai in the Petition which has been filed against his return as mem-
lvlossrsf Crotllors and-Price,-. - _ V
W
Ontario for West Elgin, and that they have to‘a considerable extent investi gated the charges contained therein and other matters which have come to their knowledge in connection whiz the election. And the subscribers hereto make the following statements and admission respecting the same:
1. That a- large number of persons
were specially sent into the constitu- ency by men working on- behalf ofthe Liberal party for the express purpose of taking part on Mr. Macnish's behalf on the election held January 12, 1899, and we believe _that fraudulent and corrupt means were used by some such persons to secure his election.
il. That several of the said persons
illegally and without' authority acted as deputy returning officers at tho said electioii, and in at least three cases so acted in the names of reput- able local men, having under assumed names been introduced to the return- ing officer by local agents of Mr. Mao- nish.
3. That in many polling sub-divi-
sions of' the riding there were grave irregularities connected with the re- turn of the ballot boxes and their con- ltents, the voting, and the counting of the ballots thei-eat. -
4. That there were large numbers
of persons brought into the riding for _the express purpose of personating le- gitimate voters, and assisted by some oi; Mr. Macnish's local supporters, such persons did personate qualified' voters in voting for Mr. Macnlsh.
5. That the declared number of
votes for Mr. Macnish largely exceed- ed the number of bona-fide votes cast for' him.
6. That a large number of votes cast-i`or_Mr. Macdiarmid were in some ' nefarious and corrupt manner manuip- ulated whereby the result oi' the elec- tion was rendered doubtful, and that. in this connection the voting at Shed- den and Middlemarch, and in several ‘divisions in St. Thomas, whore said so acted, as deputy returning officers, merits special mention. _
7. That there ,are good reasons to
believe that there are many specific and-well-authenticated cases where agents oi’ Mr. Macnish concealed at their homes some of these strangers, who there paid large sum of money to _electors to induce them to vote for him. _
8. That Mr. Macnlsh will-forthwith
deliver to tlie Speaker of the Legisla- tive Assembly his reslgnationhe a member thereof for the said electoral district. '

' And the subscribers hereto make the following statements and admis- sions respecting the same.
Who are the subscribers to this
documentf Donald Macnish, Liberal caudidate,_and A. B. Aylesworth, at one time Minister of Justice in the Laurier Government. Those are the men whose names are signed to that confession of rascality of th e worst kind, to that confession of all sorts oi’ corruption. Those are the men. I- say, who subscribed to that confession on the part of M`acnish which this man Preston was connected with as he was connected with very many other shady transactions, and I will give you one or two more of them. It was Preston who, as organizer of the Lib- eral party in the province of Ontario.
brought in this gang of pluggers, bal- lot-switchers, bal ot-spoilers and mark- ers. He is the man who was behind the cruiseof the "Minnie l\I.", the ne- farious work of "Cap" Sullivan; he is the man who was behind the self- confessed ballot-switoher Pritchard, an! others of his ilk. This man, Pres- ton, was the individual who organised this machine, and he was rewarded for
his work by being appoipitisd to a $3,- 000 position as emigratio oiificer ov~ erin England.

Now' let us see what 'he did when
he got there. No sooner had he got to England than he started his dirty work, his crooked work, over there. His hand was seen in connectionwith the North Atlantic Trading Company, for whom his son-in-law was the solic-V itor; and aeertain Leopold Lazar_us-- a man' of Jewish extraction I would

Now the signature on that is not
typewritten. lt is written with pen and ink, it is written on the paper of the Emigration Office where Preston had his office~there is no doubt about that. .The leader of the Opposition in his remarks on the mol-lon before--the Ilouse spoke about iingomlai-ks and earmarks and so on. Let him produce the telegram to which he refers, so that we~may`look at the ilngermarks and the earmarlls; let us. see if-he cannot produce this telegram with au~ thentic marks on it as to its origin and pedigree. ,-’

\_ Why Preston wal Chosen.
lilr. Speaker, why have I placed
these matters before you and before the House? I have done so because I want to ask one question, and it is this: Knowing as we: do know, and admitting as we must udmit,`_ that Sir Wilfrid Laurier knew the history_ ot' this W. T. R. Preston as he knew his alphabet; knowing that this W_. T. R. Preston was the man ,who was connected with tlieswitching oi' bal- lots, with the West Elgin election and with very many other__ elections which were protested in the province of On- tario and with which-his connection could not be doubted; knowing that lie was the man who made a demand upon a certain gentleman for $10,000 as the price of a senstorship; kww- ing that he was the man connected with the North Atlantic Trading Com- pany and several organizations which were bleeding or robbing this country to the extent of thousands and hun- dreds of thousands of dollars on the ernl'grants»that were brought out here; knowing all this-_-knowing his connec- tion and his loose, crooked connec- tion with the politics of this country.. the question I ask is: Why was that
man seigted 'as the agent ot’ the Laurier vernment over in England? There is only,one reason why he was selected. If this Government was 'guilty of the charge which has been levelled and of the inslnuations thai. have been made against it. that there was a conspiracy to manipulate the votes overseas, may I tell yon, Sir, that it was fully aware of the record, the reputation and the ability for crookedness of W. T. R. Preston, and if it wanted to manipulate votes and wanted somebody crooked to handle those votes, it knew where to get the best man for thilt kind-of workin the Dominion of Canada, or on the contin-

scandal. On June 27th, 1899, Sir Charles I-Iibbert Tupper asked for the* appointment of two judges to investi- gate the Yukon scandal. But he did more than that-and I commend this particularly to, tiled attention oi' the honorable leader of the 'Op- position, who speaks of :lever getting E. F. Clarke, to investigate the Yukon behind a bush. Sir Charles Hibnert Tupper said: “Appoint those judges to .nvectigate the Yukon scandal, and if I cannot prove my charges to the lilit I will resign my seat in' this House and place myself in la position that l will never run for or attempt to bold any public office as long as I llve." There was a different getting behind the bush from the way my hon. friend the leader of the Opposition seeks shelter. I-ie takes care that he gets behind something that will serve ‘his purpose just as well to protect him from any harm. 'Then on il0th May, 1906. we-asked for it committee to in- quire into the management of public lands-that was refused. In 1909, an- other committee was asked to be ap, pointed to investigate dredging scan-
als, colonels and others overseas with having intimated. to the soldiers that ii' they did not vote for the Govern- ment candldates they would be sent to the front, where they would bo likely to lose their lives. Now, a statement of that kind, coming from the hon. gentleman _Who is leader oi’ the Opposition. even though only lem- porarily, calls for a little bit more, I think. The leader of the Opposition accompanied the assertion to which I have referred with an emphatic de- claration tllst he was not the kind of man who would hide_ b_ehind the bush in anything that he had to say. I ask him now to give me the name of one general, one colbnel, one major, one officer, one man of any kind over there, who made such a statement als thai? Now we will see whether the hon. member will hide behind the bush or not. He does not reply; he is hiding, all right-and it is a mighty small bush, too. - V

I am satisfied to .leave the whole matter to the judg- ment of the country, and I am well satisfied also as to what the soldiers will say as to the remark of the hon. _leader of the Opposition, a remark which I say he should never l.ave made, s charge which I say is un- worthy of any man in this House, im- plying, as it does, crime of the worst possible kind on the part of gallant men who were rlsking,their lives for the people of this country. Certainly a chargeof that kind should not be made unless the leader of the Oppo- sition gets up and names the man who had been guilty of making a threat of that_kind, for otherwise he leaves all these 'officers and gentlemen un-
