Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 1, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba I Olson m the Fth Lete b 10 enquiry. A Toronto Globe. Nuiry by Tho Public accounts com the Purchase of supplies by 5ir. Toe North West Lias at last closed. E of the evidence will not in a few Days and tier of Oie h com if the proceeding a not be hut a few Points May meantime i will to observed that or. The i naps Vitioe to without a report Iti several protracted to the Blouse and e principal promo Tor of Trio Joi Mui Ort. Now wit 0 the i result of Tho s nov be presented nov it is evident that if Thorp any Tho evidence worthy of special calling Tor special action it is w to lost sight of in a mass of irony evolved by Ollon of a x and not if Rouen try Irvin plex and not i Roqu suggested untrained cd it May to assumed too that if Eri Oiw net of delinquent of and been t Home to or. Dixon the committee Wilnot to allowed to dismiss the Case it will not therefore be not s the investigation has failed. Hout a report r to suppose that in Tho sense last re i Edie Itsumu. It is not Folio a that the investigation was improper one or that even if from its hire it been somewhat costly the Money expended Liao been Alto wasted. Tho Dominion has Large 1 varied departmental interests in the nearly every Branch of the service is there represented by All ranks and classes and it can a Ness that these persons should the Eye of parliament is upon them d in fat if they m 6 careful to avoid any leu Larity and appearance of irregularity May to called to account and riddled Iii sifted before a parliamentary com it is quite probable Tho omission to make a report will to excused on Tho round that or. Peter Sutherland a wit jjcs3 summoned refused to attend but it May to remembered that when Sutherland first objected to come his Book keeper or. Scott was summoned and attended. It was Only after the proposal to accept or. Scott As a competent fitness was agreed to that it was decided to insist on or. Sutherland s coming also there is really no reason to suppose that Jar. Sutherland could have told Moro than Jar. Scott. Trio allegations so far As they Ivere for the promo ters of the enquiry carefully avoided any direct responsibility in the m follows or. Dixon had accepted gratuitous Board and lodging from or. Peter Sutherland a merchant with whom he had transactions for the government. He accepted a Cutter Worth 4120 from the same person. V he allowed a balance of account Between himself and Sutherland to be off to profit and loss instead of pay no the came. He had allowed Sutherland to see the tender of another contractor for supplies and to make out a new tender on Tho information thus supplied. He had allowed Sutherland use of government sacks. He had connived at a contract being Given to one for railway ties of a higher rate Tlam was necessary. To had wanted to secure he most advantageous terms for a Supply of beef. He had leased or rented to the government a warehouse his own pro Petty for a year using Tho name of another person As Tho nominal party to the arrangement. Ill. Who gave his evidence in the most and straightforward manner admitted that or. Sutherland had returned to his Nixon s Tho Cheque paid for the Cutter but contrary to his wishes. Ifo also admitted the renting of the warehouse but showed that the government being at the mercy of local property holders who demanded sex i Ira vacant rentals were really benefited by the transaction. While therefore there May be no disposition on either Side to impute any corrupt motive to or. Nixon it is obvious that to would have done Well to avoid the possibility of such reflections As either of these incidents May suggest lie save a Complete answer to the other charges. Lie had met or. Sutherland on the journey to Winnipeg had arranged to Board at his House and As Sutherland refused to receive Money had caused a handsome present to be made by mrs. Dixon to or. Sutherland h wife lie swore that he had paid All moneys Lue by him on private account to or. Suth Erland and produced vouchers. He also distinctly denied the assertion that to had shown Sutherland or other it appeared As though or. Scott might have mistaken some lists of prices for supplementary orders Nob in Tho contract or the tender to supposed or. Dixon to have shown. That at All events is the most reasonable explanation of Scott s evidence with which or. Nixon s directly con dieted. The sack Story was satisfactorily cleared up. Tho course taken by or. Mxon in regard to the railway ties was strictly in accordance with orders from in Wawa and the contract was Only Given to Jar. Robinson after every Opportunity had Given to other tenderer to fulfil their and they had one and All declined or failed to provide sureties. The Oiler of Hoof Malow rate was a verbal one made by an j Gont who sought and obtained All the time asked to communicate with his principal. 1 the latter did not reply and the contract Only Given to another tenderer when he delay would have been injurious and agent declared to wait longer to useless. Tho impression left on he mind of most members of the committee sfas that Jar. Nixon had been a vigilant a cwt and faithful officer and it is not wonderful if in such a Community to should some enemies in the discharge of his who would be ready enough to sex any mistakes or even to impute 9rrors where none actually existed. His tace is a very responsible one and while he must expect to be severely scrutinized. To be treated with fairness and mice by All parties. I Isuf Triu s Canadian career. Ord Dufferin is the subject of Tho Cele at Home sketch in the London Tho eur logistic article concludes As follows by Tho exercise of refined genial Lio i by treating with unvarying kindness Courtesy All who have come within their lord and lady Dufferin have of Holly won the hearts of the Canadian thus the Good works which Viceroy has done in private Are not for m the enduring memory of his great services. This is not the place a to dwell on the splendid results of mlle statesmanship and ability lord Duffer ,1s displayed or on the accumulated of he put riot uni. Industry Genius 1 eloquence. Lord dui Erin is one of the Solon Happy while he lives. His administrative Success 13 probably without a parallel in the history of the colonies. It is illumined by a brightness and splendor without precedent but it is also a Success which has been won by labors of huge magnitude. N e have Ueen lord Dufferin at Home. To a Icisie of his character and work aright we Mould have been with him also on some of ins Groat Coin mini progresses when he tra versed thousands of Miles of the Dominion to investigate personally the vast resources of Tho country and Lyom experience to form Fin opinion for the Best Mode of their do who percent. These undertakings were fatiguing and resulted in what cannot fail to prove a permanent strength ening of the sentiments of loyalty and attachment to Tho English Crown As Well As the placing on a firm and secure basis the Friendship happily existing Between the great English Der Noracy and the English Dominion which lie Side by Side in the world. The policy lord Duft Crin proposed to himself at the outset of his Canadian career was to administer the government in strict accordance with constitutional rules. From the moment of his entering office up to the present time he has held himself aloof from party politics and political partisanship. Whatever ministers were in Power to them he gave his Complete Confidence. Whenever they went out of office the same Confidence was reposed in their successors. To stated in one of his earliest speeches that a governor general As the head of a constitutional state As engaged in the administration of parliamentary government should have no political friends. Still less cod to have political enemies. The Possession of even Tho suspected Possession of his usefulness. As an orator Earl Dufferin is Tho True descendant and heir of his Brilliant ances Tor Kichard Brinsley Sheridan and Tho equal of any English speaker living in breadth of View finish of style and the delicate touches of Humour which Are imparted to his speeches. Other statesmen and administrators illustrate Tho claims of duty virtue and patriotism. To lord Dut Verin it has been revived not Only to exemplify patriotism but to identify it with Loyal joyous service not Only to show what duty is but so Gladden Tho Conception of it among and to bequeath Tho Bright Imago of duty to the great growing populations of our Empire of the just opened out direct from London and Paris.
