lt was a. can of speedy retribu-
tion 'when Mr. J. D. Stewart
pmtmltly arose in reply to the At-
torney General, and disposed of
his untystliloeitlons and delusions
in that spirit of undour. and with
'~ that direct a,pplica.t.lon of :facto
which carry conviction upon their
face. Taking up the matter of
the -Public .Accounts Committee,
the minority report. of -which Mr.
Johnston claimed was only tabled
at the last hour of the session, he
minted out that the Ptitvrincial Au-
Vditor's abstract was in -their hands
ttwelve day-s before, that the ma.
jority prepared their apology for
a. report at the last. moment, omit~
ted to include their rinnncial state
ment..--#md did not give the minor-
ity members an opportu-nity to ev_
en see it. much less to sign it.
Following this piece of evasive 
liticai strategy, .the miinorlty pre.
pared and presented their report
at the earltlest opportunity, at the
opening of the session on the day
following. It was not the uiti-nor
ity that had delayed it to the last
moment. but the government meiu-
bers of the committee who consti-
tuted tlie iiiayorlty. And all tliii-i

-pose taxation. he forced their of-
