When | say that the Grits had condemned Sir Government and all the party, befure the committee was organized even, | must be understood as meaning the majority of the Grits, for I would be very sorry to write down every member of that party as unfair and unjust.

the full electoral strength of the city. The large body of ratepayers who did not go to the polls, were, of course, restrained by various motives. A few, perhaps, were too lazy and too indifferent to take any interest in the plebiscite. Sut we venture the opinion that by far the greater wished for civic reform, yet feared that the ‘City Bill” was not the best means of meeting the end that was desired, and so

decided to be merely quiescent. If the question had been as to the abolition of

the wards, and the introduction of the ** collective vote,” there would have been a principle to fight for, the contest wou!

have been much more the result much more decided and satisfactory. It is, we think, be =—re- gretted that the of ‘‘the collective vote’ cannot now be submitted to the people as an alternative for the City Bill, and they would if they had the chance—vote to accept it. In that case we should, forever, possess a basis of representation absolutely

that all cannot—as we are sure

There would be both honor and credit attached to the office of City Councillor, if the Coun- cillors were elected by the collective of the whole electorate ; while property- holders and the better classes, being largely in the majority, would forever have such an overwhelming advantage in civic elec- tions that the second-rate or third-rate civic politicians of questionable character and small ability world have no chance to succeed. In Summerside—where the col- lective vote is in practical operation-—we see such active, respectable and prominent townsmen as Richard Hunt, David Rogers, David Montgomery, A. L. Anderson, John Sharp, Neil Sinclair, H. A. Compton, R. C. McLeod, W. T. Burrows, etc., standing for election and securing seats at the civic board. Citi.cns of the same class would stand for election here and be elected, be- yond the peradventure of a doubt, if only we had the ** collective vote.” But this we cannot have. We must, for some time at least, put up with the ** makeshift ” which was accepted yesterday and do the best that we can under the improved conditions of civic affairs.

—The Rev. H. M. Brooks thinks that the prohibition party cannot build upa majority on the one idea, prohibition, #3 long as there are reform questions that have as great or greater hold on the minds of the people than the prohibition ques- tion. Aad he says that ‘‘so soon as we get sufficient sentiment on this question and harmonize it, all necessary laws will come. And should they come sooner they will prove a failure. Get the people right, and lawmakers must get right or getout.” The Montreal Gazette remarks that there is no disputing that position. It covers the ground in Canada as well as in the United States. To Canadian prohibitionists Mr. Brooks’ advice to get the p»ople with them peculiarly applies. When the people want prohibition the parties will be scrambling over each other to give it.

in the committee, and every thing was to their taste till about ten days ago, when old Captain Larkin was on the stand, a cold wave set in for them, which increased last week during Thomas McGreevy's in- vestigation, until on Saturday the weather was decidedly Arctic in No. 6 (the Grit caucus room) although outside and all around, it was up in the nineties,

Captain Larkin’s testimony was their first set-back. For be it known he is a hard-shell Grit, has been six years Presi- dent of the Grit Association of Lincoln County, and is moreover a shareholder in the Globe. I outlined his testimony in my last, but it was as good asa circus to see the change which came over the Grit countenance when he swore that he was in tha habit of subscribing largely and liber- ally to Grit election funds in Ontario, and how he bad used hisinfluence as a Globe shureholier with J. D. Edgar, who is a Globe cirector,to have the Gobe reverse its policy with reference to the alterations in the Esquimault graving dock. The Globe had furiously denounced the proposed alter- ations, but the moment that Contractor,— Grit President and Globe shareholder Larkin put down his foot and told Globe director Edgar that that tune wou'd not suit and that he would not stand the Globe’s opposition, the Globe next week right- about-faced and warmly recommended the alterations as being in the public interest. There isthe great organ of the reform party for you! Thereisa samp'e of the morality of the Grit Press! And Captain Larkin swore to this, and it was not only not contradicted but unblushingly ad- mittted by Edgar, who was ordered to pro- duce Laik'n’s letter but so far has pot

complied with the order. If the boot had been onthe other foot, and Edgar had been the director of a ‘* Tory rag,” and

had failed to preduce Larkin’s letter, what a Grit howl of ird gnation we w. u'd hear. On Tuesday, the Committee received the evidence of Mr. E. J. Milne, one of the inspectors of dredging, who was charged with receiving moneys from the contractors in consideration of his reporting more dredging done than had actually been done. He acknowledged having been in the con- tractors pay for some eight years, but, on the other hand, it was proved by the engineer's evidence that he was not a regular sa'aried employe of the harbor com- mission, but was only employed for a day now and again, which puts another face on the affair altogether.

Matin Foley, a Quebec tailor, and Herbert Carbray, a Quebec merchant, to whom Mr. Murphy swore he had given large sums of money to use in the election of 1887, took the stand and emphatically contradicted Murphy’s testimony. Both these men are respectable citizens of Quebec, and they unhesitatingly declared that the statement of Murphy, which he had sworn to, with great circumstantiality, were deliberate falsehoods.

Mr. Boswell, who succeeded the late J. E. Boyd, as resident engineer of the (Juebee harbor works, was examined, but his testimony was largely of a dry, techni- cal nature. He testified that he had given his assistant engineer, Charles McGreevy (son of Robert) charge of the inspectors, and it was his duty to report them if they were not doing their work faithfully. Bos- well had never suspected that any improper payments had been made the inspect- ors, till he heard of it during the enquiry. He had never heard of the inspectors doing any work for the contractors, except during winter, when they were out of em- ployment.

The expert engineers, employed to ex- amine the plans, etc., of the harbor works, was presented. They stated that the plans laid before them, and said to be the origin- al examined by intending contractors, were not so complete as should:have been. They had no guarantee that the plans were the original cnes, however, and they added, *‘we venture the opinion that, had the late engineer, Mr. Boyd, lived to see the com- pletion of his work, matters not now clear, and egpecially relating to the original schedule of quantities as applied by him tu the prices submitted by tenderers, would be plain.” Judging from the plans laid before them, they were unable to verify Mr. Boyd's figures that Larkin, Connolly & Co. were the lowest tenderers. They add, ‘‘we may be permitted to explain that we learn from Mr. Boswell, C. E. (who was on the work from beginning to end, and’ who succeeded the late Mr. Boyd) that the original design of the cross wall was chang- ed, and that other circumstances occurred during the progress of the work whereby the original quantities were largely increas- ed in many important items.

On Wednesday Hon. Thomas McGreevy took the stand, and the whole day was occupied in his examination. Mr. McGreevy is a gentleman of medium statur »,fabout 65 years of age, I should think, smooth tace

and quiet, unassuming manner. He a represented Quebec West in Parliament continuously since Confederation. Hig business is a contractor for railways, build- ings and large works, and he is also inter- ested in banks and shipping. His brother Robe:t worked with him as foreman, for many years, and then when Robert went into contracting on his own account,

That there 1s strong reason for the truth of this latter accusstion, may be judged from the fact: that Tarte, Murphy and Robert McGreevy produced numbers of Thomas McGreevy s private letters and papers before the Com- mittee. . ap

I can assure you that I am not gomg into Thomas McGreevy’s evidence in detail. Your readers must be satisfied to be told that Thomas specifically contradicted every statement of Murphy and Robert Mc- as to his corrupt dealings with

Greevy, : L : ‘Larkin, Counolly & Co., and with Sir Hec- tor Langevin. Answer after answer of

these worthies was read to Thomas Me- Greevy, and ho was asked if it was true—

ing, without the slightest excitement, he

He knew nothing of Robert’s connection with the firm of con- and not until Michael Connolly told him. He had given the con- tractors no improper information ; he had ‘received no share of the contracts or the profits ; he had not received any moneys ifrom the contractors except in the way of | subscriptions to election funds. It wili be rememered that Murphy and Robert had sworn to Thomas demanding $25,000 from Larkin, Connolly & Co., and that he had (been paid in the ficm’s promissory notes. There was very strong ground for suspect- ing, ducing the cross-examination of Mur- phy and Robert, and from the appearance of the notes themselves, that at least $10,- 000 had gone no further than Murphy's aud Robert’s pockets, and now this sus- picion is strengthened by Thomas Me- Greevy’s evidence. He explains the trans: action thus: McCarron and Cameron were contractors on the North Shore Railway. McCarron was Robert's brother-in-law. They took a sub-contract from Thomas on Robert’s recommendation. The result of Thomas’ dealings with them was a law suit, in which Thomas was condemned to pay $17,000. Thomas, having no cash available at the time, without disposing of securities at aliss, asked Robert, who was then largely indebted to him, if he could not areas the amount. Robert said he could, that he had some accommodation nutes he could use. Thomas was going away and

instructed his bovkkeeper, Challoner, that Robert was geing to provide for the judgment, or, at _ least,

part of it, and he (Thongas) gave Robert a note for $3,000 towards it. Thomas went away, and while he was away, Robert fixed up the judgment, and it was not tilla year afterwards that he knew it was by means of $15,000 of Larkin, Connolly & Co’s. notes that Rubert had satisfied the judgment. Robert had never told ghim it was Larkin & Connolly’s notes, but led Thomas to believe it was some notes of Murphy’s he was going to use. A year afterwards Robert told him the notes had belonged to the tirm and had to be paid. Thomas had spoken to Robert about some money being wanted for a political purpose and Robert told him he might apply the $15,000 (which Robert had asked for to re- coup the firm) to that purpose. Up to that time he understood that Robert had paid the $15,000 for him, on account of the large amount which he (Robert) owed him. As for himself (Thomas) he did not benefit one cent by the transaction, and that was the whole story. ‘he other $10,- 000 of the $25,000 he never saw or heard tell of, and your readers can form their own conclusions, as did the audience in the committee room, of where that amount went.

Wednesday afternoon Thomas McGreevy continued his evidence,specifically denying, one after another, the statements of Murphy and his brother Robert. By the way, the old gentleman will not permit anyone to speak of Robert McGreevy as his brother —‘* I beg your pardon; do not call him my brother please; speak of him as Robert McGreevy.” © He never recol- lected writing a letter to Mr. Perley in his life, or receiving one from him, nor had he ever authorized Charles McGreevy or any- one else to write in his name to Mr. Per- ley. Murphy's statement that, at the time the Esquimault dock was awarded,the sum of $5,000 was paid him in promissory notes, he declared to be untrue. Robert never spoke to him of any bargain by which, if the Esquimault dock was length- ened, he(Thomas) wastoget a sumof money. As to Murphy's assertion that he had prom- ised to pay Thomas McGreevy allover $60, - 000 in the claim for extras in the British Columbia dock, no such bargain was ever made. He never received any money from Murphy for any purpose, political or other- wise. No irregular or improper transac- tions had taken place with regard to the

upening of tenders, as to fer ae ote ampay

But Mr. McGreevy made the admissio that he had _ received and a pended the sum of $55,000 for political purposes—$15,000 of which was in the prommissory notes of Larkin, Con- nolly & Co., already referred to. This is a very large sum of money “for political purposes,” and what these purposes were we are not fully enlightened. But he 8 ated that $35,000 went for the purchase of the LeMonde newspaper, of Moutreal. The other $20,000 he positively refused to say how he disposed of, and his refusal is to be reported to the House to day.

Mr. McGreevy also admitted that he was the real and actual owner of the ateam- er Admiral, although that vessel wag registered in the name of Julien Chabot, He explained how he came in possession of the steamer as follows: The Richelieu Steam Navigation Co., of which he was & director, had a contract with the Govern- ment for carrying mails, ete. down on the St. Lawrence, and the steamer they used having been condemned by the inspsctor

Mr. McGreevy’s examination was con- tinued on Thursday, when he explained sundry letters to his brother, showing, - arently, a deep interest 1n the affairs © RE arkiet & Connolly, by saying that, as a director of the Union Biok, which had ad- vanced large suins to the firm, he had to

lock after the bank’s interests. All the information he had was available to any- itin the interest

. and he simp'y used ore "4 t Ma bank ag represented. The Grits tried very hard to implicate Sir He ctor, but they faied. Thomas McGreevy having denied ever writing avy letter to Mr. Perley, declared any such letter was 4 forgery. Counsel on the other side tried very hard to get him to say there were other forged letters, but he persisted in re- plying that that would be shown in due time. So that weshall probably hear ot other forgeries. In the evening sessiun Mr. Edmond Giroux, Chairman of the Quebec

Harbor Commissioners, aud Mr Rae, of the firm of Allan, Rae & Cv, and Mr. Forsyth, two others of the

Harbor Commissioners, were examined. These gentlemen all scouted the idea of avy improper dealings with the contractors or of any imprcper influence being used with them by Thomas McGreevy. They all testified to Thomas McGreevy’s high stand- ing and integrity, and that he had never imposed himself upon the Bvard as the mouthpiece of Sir Hector, which was one of the charges made by Tarte. Maurice Flynn, anvther witness, while testifying that Murpy’s record in Quebec was not very creditable, refused to say whether or not he would believe him on his oath.

On Friday, Hon. John Hearn, « member of the Legislative Council of the Province of Quebec, was examined. He testified to discounting, or procuring the discount of the notes of Larkin and Connolly, which Robert McGreevy paid Thomas. Money was scatce at the time, the banks were not discounting, and he was led to believe by whoever presented him the notes, either Iwwbert McGreevy or Challoner (homes McGreevy’s book-keeper) that he would be obliging Thomas by discounting them. He denied that any such conversation took place betweenhim and Robert, as the latter reported. Mr. Hearn further de- clared that be would believe nothing that Robert McGreevy might say or swear to just now. Mr. Choquette, immediately jumped up in a very excited state and ex- claimed, *‘Robert might say tke same of you,” to which Mr. Hearn quietly replied, **[ should be very sorry if he would have the sama cause to say of me what the world has reason for thinking and saying of him.”

Mr. Thomas McGreevy’s crosz--xem nation was continued by Mr. Davies, who worked himself up to a feverish state of excitement, while the old.gentleman took things remark- ably coolly. Lt came out during the examina. tion that Mr. Tarte himself received over $15,000 trom Mr. McGreevy, a few years ago, tor his paper **L2 Canadien,” of which he is the registered owner, Mr. Tarte adinitted having received the money, Lut immediately tried to change the drift of the questioning by asking Mr. McGreevy if he had not been in the habit of endorsing notes for Sir Hector.

Mr. William Baskerville was the next witness, and he developed a veritable mare's nest for the grits. He testified to his fiim havigg tendered for the Esquimeult Dock in 1884, but there was trouble about some of the quantities or items and he did not get the contract. Mr. Perley had recommended that they make certain changes in their tender and Alderman John Heney, an- other government contractor, had quietly told him that if he would give him an aceepted cheque for $10,000, he (Baskerville) wouid get the contract. He had at first re garded Heney’s offer as a joke, but after- wards began to think there was something in it. How the grits rubbed their hands and smiled and cackied and grinned all over as they heard this evidence. Heney was ordered to attend on Saturday morning, and he was on hand to the minute. Now John Heney is an irixhman, a dealer in wood and coal, and furnished the Government buildings these on for many years. He is getting up for 70 years of age, wearsa lovg red beard turning grey, sat in the O.tawa City Council for 35 years, and was a candidate for mayor at the last election. He iskuown popularly as “‘Honest John,”—he is a life-long temperance man and addresses temperance meetings Sunday and two or three times a week, and for his devotion in tae good cause was made a knight of the Holy Sepulch e by His Holi. ness the Pope, a few years agu. John Heney is a good living Irish Cath»lic, but he is an ee — or ao Baskerville was oing about Ottawa feeling bad and growlin because he did not get the Roncles: u sceael the temptation to put up a joke on him was too strong for Honest John, and he made him the offer referred t>, and repeated it several times. Baskerville nearly swallowed the bait. This is the explanation of the whole story as sworn to by John Heney last Saturday, and you nevcr ssw @ more miser- ably distppointed set of men than the grits that morning, sliuking away like a lot of whieped curs with their tails between their legs.

I am afraid I have made this story so

that you will have room for sloth else, me far the evidence amounts to this: The Quebec Harbor Commissioners contracted with Larkin, Connoliy & Co., to build docks dredge basins, cic. They did the work weil’ that is attested to, but tke eve: ybody else, they wanted to get all they could for it, and were not particuiarly nice how they got it. Anyway, Mu'phy and Robert MoGreevy did their dirty work,and feathered their own nests pretty well. It is charged that the contractors made large profits That is true but contractors are not in the habit of taking contracts at «a loss, not even on P. EB. Island: and furthermore, it has not been proved that they received any favors or that lower tenders were passed over. It may be that they were paid for more dredging than was actually done, but that _was through fraud concocted by Murphy with the aid of dishonest in. spectors. The story of Owen Murphy and Robert McGreevy has been empaatically cenied by Thomas McGreevy, a man whose record in Qiebec is exceptions] y high und whose word is unimpeachable with the ‘busi-

hess community in that city. Murphy's Robert MeGrcevy’s statements coer = been contradicted by other trustworthy
