AUGUST 27, 1879.

The Ex-Premier’s Speech at Guelph, Ontario.

The Patriot, in eulogizing a speech re- cently delivered by his Grit leader, the Hon. A. McKenzie, says, among other questionable utterances, that the ex-Prem- ier “‘resorts to no unfair means to regain popular favor, but is willing to remain in opposition until men are convinced that the policy which he advocates is best adapted to advance the common weal.” If that be true, we may safely conclude that Mr. McKenzie has made up his mind to remain in opposition during the remainder of his political career, as there is not the slightest prospect that the people of this Dominion will ever again return to power the men who refused to give an effective impulse to native manufacturing enterprise and in- dustrial skill, and wantonly sacrificed the best interests of the whole people, in order, if possible, to hold on to place and power, from which they were driven by the free and enlightened electors of our new nation.

Jn the speech to which the Patriot al- ludes, the ex-Premier abounds in slanders which, as the leader of the Grit Party in the Commens, he was too cowardly or too cunning to utter. Some of these slanders, with which Mr. McKenzie delighted his faithful followers at Guelph, are as follows :

‘If you look at the estimates you will find among the items one or two to which I would call your attention. Without any Parlia- mentary authority they ordered to be printed a catalogue of the books in the library of the House of Commons, and they paid Mr. Mc- Intosh of the Citizen, an Ottawa Government newspaper, for the work the sum of $5,300, and this notwithstanding that the Government had a contract with another firm for all their printing at fixed rates, at which rates the cost of printing the catalogue would have been $2, 335.”

it cannot for one moment be believed that the ex-Premier’s memory is at fault ; then he must be guilty of a wilful per- version of facts, as a glance at the debates of the House of Commons will prove. He

states they (the Government) ordered the

printing of a catalogue, etc. That this is

grossly untrue, the reader will see from the

published debates as follows :—

_ ‘To meet the cost of printing and prepar- catalogue of the library of Parliament,

, 300. “* Sir John A. Macdonald explained that in

reference to the library catalogue, it appeared that Mr. Todd thought he had authority to

print and prepare a catalogue, and he placed itin the hands of the contractor. It was in process. of being i gone when it was found that it was literally impossible for the sontractor to have it ready for the meeting of Parliameat. He (Sir John A. Macdonald) told Mr. Todd that if he could not get it ready as he desired, he had better divide the work. This was done, and a portion given to the Citizen Company.

‘* Mr. Mackenzie— What authority ad Mr. Todd ?

‘*Sir John A. Macdonald said he did not know. The catalogue was ordered before they knew anything about it. Mr. Todd said that every ten years he had prepenst a cata- logue, and he imagined that he had now the authority.

‘“Mr. Mackenzie said Mr. Todd had uo such authority.

‘* Vote agreed to,”

The above shows that the Government were not to blame in the least degree. The Librarian felt it his duty to. publish a new catalogue. He prepared it and put into the hands of the Contractor, whe could not get it ready in time for Parliament, and there- fore a portion of the work had to be given to another printer. Hence the false slander which Mr. McKenzie has fabricated out of the transaction, to tickle the ears of the faith- ful. Again he states that :

“There was a gentleman in the House holding a Government appointment, who con- tinued working in my office after I became Minister. I will not say anything as to the quality of the work at present. He claimed aod received from the present Government the sum of $1,750 for services rendered in his otlice while he was a member of Parliament. He never claimed it from me, very probably entertaining a well-founded belief that 1 would not have paid him,

The gentleman to whom he alludes is Mr. Wallace, of Norfolk, Ont. The true facts of this case are, that Mr. Wallace re- ceived no pay whatever ‘‘for services rend- ered while he was a member of Parlia- ment.” The claim alluded to was’reported upon by Mr. Fleming, and an accountant --Mr. Tims—who awarded the sum of $1,750 to Mr. Wallace. In the face of these facts, approved of by a majority of seventy- seven members of the House of Commons, Mr. McKenzie’s charge against Mr. Wal- luce, one of the ablest and most respected members of the Commons, availeth noth- ing. Again, the ex-Premier, in this famous speech lauded by the Patriot, alludes to the building of a new pier on the coast of Nova Scotia, and toa claim made by one J. E, Woodworth for the sum of $530 for his in- terest in the old pier destroyed, and says, “‘We represented in the House that he (Woodworth) had no claim, and no answer could be made, yet the moneg was voted.” Here we have one of those false and reck- iess statements which unscrupulous stump orators indulge in when addressing crowds

in country districts, away from those who have it in their power to contradict their statements on the spot and and bring them to book for their false charges and slander- ous utterances against their absent oppon- ents, So far frém ‘‘no answer” being made, in the House, to Grit opposition to the payment of this small claim,Sir Charles Tupper answered as follows :—

“Mr. Tupper said that that Mr. Woodworth had paid out the amount in the resolution in buying up small shareholders, who would not consent to convey their title to the Govern- ment. The reason the claim had lain in abeyance was thatthe amount was a com. paratively small matter to him in his former

circumstances, but having lost his property, the money would now be a consideration to

him.”

Those are afew of the many false state- ments and accusations of the Hon. A. Mac- kenzie in his recent speech at Guelph, against the present Government of Canada, and that, too, in the absence of the Leadet of the Government, Sir John A. Macdon- ald, who is now in England. We can well understand why a man of Mr. Blake’s refin- ed mind cannot stomach the frothy rhetoric and exparte declamation which may be toler- ated by violently partizan pic-nic parties, bul which would be hooted if made in Parliament.

lection for Licensing Board.

Wer rrusr that our temperance friends will not be negligent about next Tuesday’s election. Itis of the utmost importance that they should see that proper men are returned for the Licensing Board. Those elected will serve for two years, and during that time their influence for good or evil will be very great. We would remind the advocates of temperance that this Licencing Law is, to great extent, theirown. They asked for it, expressing full confidence that they could work it satisfactorily ; ¥ we are quite sure that the opinions of thé com- munity are, on the whole, with them. But, then they, must be up and doing. It would be most lamentable if, through over- confidence er inactivity, we should have a board of ‘the wrong men returned next Tuesday. We hope, soon, to be able to an- nounce that some action has been taken.

Dr. Moore’s Entertainment Last Night.

Last evening Dr. Moore of New York,

exhibited his photographic views of the

cities of Washington and Lendon, in the Y.

M. C. A. Hall,before a large and highly res-

pectable audience. The views and scenes presented were simply beautiful and true to the life. The Government buildings at Washington were shown from various standpeints, and each view was accompanied with a lucid verbal explanation, in which many most interesting _ historical facts and incidents were related. The senate chamber was a most perfect represen- tation, and appeared to the eye as real and natural as if it were gazing into the apartment itself. The same may be said of lL the other edifices and departments ex- hibited. The streets, squares, avenues, fountains and all other parta, of the Capitol were perfect photographs, and the best the highest attainments of the art couldproduce: and under the brilliancy of the calcium light presented the most charming views. After exhibiting the capital, its compart- ments, surroundings, etc., the Dr. embark- ed with his audience on board the ‘‘ Great Eastern” to visit the ‘‘ great city,” of London and its wonders. We arrived off the ancient and historic tower of London, which covers more than twelve English acres of ground. Every historian knows what an eventful and sometimes awful his- tory that massive old building possesses. How many of the great, the noble, and the talented of England’s best and worst sons and daughters, were cast into its dis- mal keep, there to pine and to die? How many of England’s youth and beauty were cruelly tortured, starved, and butch- ered there, beyond the reach of mercy or sympathy? Nowhere is there a structure which could unfold such a tale of cruelty and wrong as lies buried in that ancient,

loomy pile. The representations of the British ouse of Parliament, of Bucking- ham Palace and its interior, of Westminis- ter Abbey, of St. Paul’s Cathedral, were truly enchanting. The verbal explanations accompanying these were most satisfaciory also. But the richest sight of all was the ‘‘Albert Memorial” and its details. No one could have witnessed these and not be delighted. The grouping of figures,the statu- ary, the emblems, and the triumphs of art and skill, were magnificent. This one view was worth many times the price of a ticket. But to attempt a written description is vain. To appreciate such a view it mast be seen, and the Doctor must be heard to explain it. All who witnessed the entertainment of last evening enjoyed it, and were more than satisfied. We predict for the Doctor a crowded house this evening. We would heartily say to all, go, for if you miss those sights you may never see the like again. Those who missed last night’s entertainment lost a great treat.
