demagogues in Quebec had pas by Ta Wotsem, General Manager, at the building of the Chronicle © Busde ' Sweet.Quebec QUEBEC, JANUARY 36, 1517.EE \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE UNSULLIED GRITS.The subsidized Liberal organs of this city are making the usual howl that they make when the Conservatives win an election, and both Le Soleil and The Telagraph are insu!ting the electors of Dorchester by arguing that they were corrupted with whisky and bought with tainted money.These charges are the regular consolation of the Grits when they are depressed by defeat and they are not likely to carry much weight with any but an insignificant element of dupes, whose faith, however, in the accuracy and truthfulness of these organs has been rudely disturbed during the past few days.Past experience of the Liberal elec tioneering methods in this district proves that they would ridicule auy idea of winning an election with prayers.And that these same methods were again very much in evidence during the Dorchester election is amply borne out by recent events For one thing, the local Liberal Association received a sum of ten thousand dollars from a Liberal Association in Montreal for the pu: pose of financing opposition to Mr.Sevigny.Another sum was given by a con- AN AMAZING INDISCRETION.Owing to our anxiety to \u201csave the country\u201d during she Dorchester elec: tion we did not give Pred len: Wilson's harangue to the United States Senate that attention wich i: dusery- ed.One does not, however, need to scritinize it very carefully before realizing thet it is the most astounding and the most fatuous indiscretion which that vague and incohere.t politician has perpetrated as yet And that is saying a very great deal.As might bave been expezted, the indefinite both in conception and expression.But it must have the cifec: of giving offence to the Alli: and president seems to reveal hiuself more and more with very iresl.word, that he utters or pens.Wilson goes blundering o:.one else cua see nothing bu* :h: mos: cynical impudence in the sp ctacle of :his man\u2014who.with the full recog: tition of the Monroe Docnéne.has made such a miserable bungler as aa enforcer of peace in Mexico-stepping up into the internationz!

«raciousiy allow them to make peacs.\u201cI am speaking as an ind dual.\u2019 he says.Just as if the President of the United States could spel; as an individual! Then.in the nex* breath, tractor whose connection with the Covernment has probably not brought him into Court as yet.Liberals, who were interested munition contracts.also contributed in spite of Mr.Cannon's speeches regarding war expenses Alcoholic liquor was smuggled by the Liberals into the country in crockery and piano cases.Liberals sent men into the county to pose as agents of the Borden Government and to frighten the habs ants with a story that they had come to make the young men enlist.A Quebec alderrian is said to have told the people that \u2018if Sevigny were elected conscription would surely follow: that the young men would he dragged away in thousands and that every man gone meant a home destroyed.In one parish a Quebre man went aructid with a worthless ciiequs win he promised to give to the locat school commission if he could be a+ sured that the penple of the parish would vote for the Liberal ticket.Conservatives charge that certain | employees of the Provincial Govertment did much to assist the Liberals and ton intimidate those who might cote Conservative.Racial appeals galore wer\u201d employ- rd by the Liberal workers in their canvass.Nobody imagines that the Libera's gave their campaign money to their organizer for the benefit of the Pat\u201c riotic Fund or that they imported whisky into the county for the sole purpose of pouring it on the ground.All the patronage of the local government was brought into play.Letters patent were issued freely, hridg- es and other favors promised.If the Liberal \u201cwhited sepulchers\u201d want evidence of corruption on the part of their campaigners, there wili not be much trouble in securing it.And, as for the charge that the election cost the Conservatives a hundred thousand dollars, it is merely a fable.The reckless talk of the Liberal candidate and the mistakes of the Libera! organizers were a considerable factor in the result.The Telegraph and Le Soleil, as was oniy to be expected, now insult the Dorchester electors by calling them a venal and whiskey-soaked crowd.the Lankrup:ey ! inj { 1hilities \u201cac the head of a qr-a: government.\u201d How can he dissociate t'e \u2018wo\u2019 He goes on to prattle gli'y of \u201ctite ! :reedom of the seas!
