had, during the conteat,all the opportumities |

of enlightening the peeple that the ‘' dema- gegues ” had of deceiving them, he might as well gracefully admit that he was besten because he had wasted the public funds, falsitied the public accounts, and attempted to maintain himself in power by tampering with his political opponents after his former colleagues had withdrawn their confidence from him.

Before examining Mr. Davies’ calcula- tions in reference to the operations of 1879, we will brify note what he says about his deficit in 1873. He says that he proved by a letter published by him in May lsat--

“That althongh the public accounts, end- ing December 31st, 1878, I shewed an ap- parent deficit ; that it was unfair to charge the Government of that day with it, or with any extravagance because the deficit did not arise from any excesa of expendi- ture over the amount voted by the Legisla- ture, but simp! y because a large part of the

is utterly untrue, more particularly the of it which Mr. Davies places in ital- ice. Of arreara of tates belonging to 1876, paid in 1877, there were 312,864.52. Ar- rears of 1877, paid in 1878, $4,601.18 ; ar- reara of 1878, payable in 1879, $7,564.47. It tus appears that the arrears of taxes un-

id at the close of 1878 were less than the average ot former years. The impudence tet would claim any portion of the pay- iments at the Land Office in 1879, as pros perly belonging te the receipts of 1878,

We challenge Mr. L. H. Davies te admit or dery the correctness of this calculation. If he denies it, then he proclaims himself a very amali, shallow and ‘‘ designing poli- tician’”’ with all the desire to deceive but lacking the ability. If he"admit it, then his condemnation is written with his own hand, inasmuch as in 1878, when the country was prosperous, he roiled up a deficit of 112,630.95: The reader will please ohgerve that this is not a calculation

ef ours. The rule of comparisen is laid

is niest apparent :—

Ist. Heclaims that unpaid Assessments anc arrears at the Land Office fer 1878, should be credited to that year, witheut allowing similar credits for 1879 !

i. He charges the year 1879 with sive quarter's salary to teachers, while he only chi rges three to 1878 !

ord. He only allows $20,000, being in- terest received at Land Office in 1879, as

O00 in the same way in 1878; while every peson knows that the amount received in this way in 1879, is greater than in 1878!

Any person, except it may be, a ‘‘de- signing politician” must admit that if the sum of $8,900 received for land up to the Sist of March, 1879 should be credited, as arrears, to the receipts of 1878, then by the same rule the aum eof 211.000 received in the same way in 1880 should be credited to
