Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - November 23, 1904, Winnipeg, Manitoba 1 of the railway commission against i trunk Pacific scheme the grand. The govern men swe by Side bargaining for the newspaper went negotiations agreement was Earnest Money was or. Bert Biarne deposited with Litif Lurlne of the Purchase to Freedom in Trade in Rel 9 on impossible g-1 w had reached this. Point and Blair had Tatlo Taliste a Little weekly to Montreal got an inkling As to the Purchase of la Presse nov made the. Fact Public. That upset the Rienme. La Presse for one thing was muzzled publicity which attended its change of ownerships Ine financing of the Purchase for of Andrew 1ti i i v Blair s silence. Or Blair like or. Tarte can look Back Over a highly varied record of toe pictured in the blackest colors by tie conservative newspapers from end to end of the country. His action us minister of railways in extending the inter colonial to Montreal Drew Down upon his head a perfect storm of abuse. He was denounced As the limit of All that was corrupt and in j6crupulous. Not or. Tarte himself the object More violent at this attitude towards or. Blair continued until Bhe Day when he an himself in parliament As being at variance with his colleagues in tha government in regard to the grand trunk Pacific undertaking. That the happiest Day the conservative 1 party in parliament had since or. Tarte s revolt against his colleagues. I it had been necessary to rehabilitate or. Tarte from the conservative Point of View so it became necessary to rehabilitate or. Blair. He was bailed joyously As or. Tarte had been and wag looked to with much Hope As a Man who would do great in Tho Way of helping the con Trva Tive party Back into Power. Then he became chairman of the railway commission and Tho conservatives using his speech in parliament against tie grand trunk Pacific policy of the government As Campaign literature took every occasion to Laud him to the Exius As the greatest authority in can Dida on transportation questions. Or. Ilo Blin Tor example has never risen to greater Heights of eloquence than his speech at Selkirk Hall when during the recent Campaign Jie sex his resources of language in Fri Lotry of or. Blair As the great Cana Lilian authority on transportation. The. Conservative feeling towards 5iir. Blair Rose to sheer ecstacy when in the midst of the re cent Campaign his resignation from it he railway commission was announced. The opponents of the government revelled in this action of or. As making the defeat of the a government dead sure. Or. Blair it announced in the conservative press would forthwith take the stump against the government which would proceed to collapse before him As the Walls of Jericho crumbled at the sound Joshua s trumpets. The prophetic or. Bob Rogers it will be re ii timbered had an interview with him self published under big headlines in Winnipeg co Servati the newspaper which he gloated in is Best style Over the approaching downfall of the Laurier administration and with impressiveness announced that be had the very Best authority for laying that or. Blair would at once take the stump. By Way of conclusion Ito the interview the Prophet Rogers said that he was t accustomed to positively except from absolute knowledge and with that he his hand to the interviewer Ivhon withdrew respectfully from the great Man s presence. But in spite Prophet Rogers fat f it Al 1 i positive announcement or. Blair did nothing except to fall into a most ii Nguia and remarkable dumbness which he still maintains. At first the conservative attitude towards this dumbness tvs one of pained Surprise like falstaff s when he exclaimed Call you that backing Yout from pained Surprise the Hava passed to anger and now or Blair is being abused again in the Good Irmild style. The Pictou Standard for instance which is the personal Organ of or. C. E. Tanner the Leader of the local opposition in Nova Scotia and conservative organizer for that prov Ince says to Canadian statesman occupies position so Little to be envied As Hon a. G. Blair. He sends a warning Ove the land As Brilliant and startling a v. Danger rocket on a dar1. Night. Al eyes Are attracted by the signal am Walt Tho Leader to come to the Rescue ins country. Here is a Patriot the Public think sacrificing position an Frt ads because he loves his country More. Day after Day passes and the people ask Why does Blair delay 31 is voice is silent. The crisis come and the Battle is won by the enemy kit tar has Dono nothing. The Genera opinion is that Blair had his Price an cot it 2so Public Man is held i i eater contempt by both Politico parties than Blair is to Day. He i regarded As an Able statesman whoa politics to look after number one indeed his whole record confirms sue opinion. His remaining years i be filled with bitterness. Rejected Ulm despised by men his Grey head will go to the grave unkept Union ored and and still or. Blair keeps silent. Not even the sternly indignant de mands of the Winnipeg conservative newspaper that he shall speak up without further delay and explain his conduct have availed to move him from his silence. Like Hamlet or. Blair declines to afford any help to those who Are anxious to Pluck out the heart of his the talk political circles at the capital in to the Blair mystery f summarized by the Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto news All is uncertainty yet As to or. Blair s future and Sis to the reasons which led to his resignation. Fending official revelations there May be set Down a Story which is in circulation in quarters which usually Are Well in formed. It is published with Reserve but it must be added that two or three other stories which Are to be heard flt into it Vith great exactitude. According to this Cana Dian Pacific was behind or. Blair s and that event by associated with the movement. To Purchase la Presse. The plan was to tul a the influence of that important journal and of the former chairman an Otner Imrik %1. Sum ably the Earnest Money was for felted. The scheme went into thin air and or. Blair found himself brought to the. Ground Between the two stools such is the Story. Side by Side with it May be placed another which gris All were wondering what the sensational resignation could mean and when or. Blair was maintain no obstinate silence a High official of the Canadian Pacific remarked to a Friend. Who repeated the statement does t come out and speak by thurs Day or Friday he is a traitor. Tet a further circumstance is that or. Berthiaume called upon sir Wil Frid Laurier a Day or two ago and that the Rumor which got abroad was that he was assuring the Premier that la Presse was prepared still to be Liberal. Or. Blair it May added has called on the Premier at least twice during the past week. Time which brings most hidden things to Light will doubtless disclose the inside history of this sensational Blair episode which holds unique place in Canadian history. For the present it looks As if we. Must be Content with guesses As in the historic Case of the Man in the Iron mask or the almost As historic mys Tery As to who struck Billy Patterson. The Ontario situation or. G. To. Ross will meet the lib eral convention which gathers in Toronto to Day a prime minister without a government. Hon. Or. Gib son the attorney general Ihas now announced the resignation of his port Olio although he purposes remaining member of the government without Alary. Hon. E. J. Davis has resigned and is retiring from Public life the liberals of North Tork have already chosen their candidate in succession o him. Or. Stratton is retiring from he government but it is not yet announced whether he intends to con Niue As a. Member of the legislature. Toronto despatches indicate the re Irementa of or. Harcourt. The Mlls or of education and or. Latchford he minister of Public works. This a ill leave in office Only or. Ross the and provincial treasurer and Hon. John Dryden the minister of agriculture. It is Safe to say that the liberals retain control in Ontario or. Dryden will continue to discharge the important duties of head of the department of agriculture. These retirements Are intended to a Lve or. Ross an Opportunity of re casting his government in accordance with the wishes of the convention. Until the convention is Over and tha policy there decided upon disclosed Mir. Ross will abstain from putting the finishing touches to his Cabinet Mak ing but he probably has his mind pretty Well made up As to whom he will choose As colleagues. Or. G. P. Graham the capable representative of by Rockville and w. A. Charlton the present speaker Are supposed to be slated for Cabinet honors an outside lawyer of distinction will be brought in As attorney general and a new tiap Remonta Tulve the Irish catholics will have to be chosen with or. Peter Ryan As the Likely Man. The government when reconstructed will undoubtedly go to the people on the platform Laid Down by the convention. As the legislature must floor of Siw t. Referred to a specially Mission of judges whose was evident from toe beginning could be challenges 6y either party a. In conclusive. Then will be no possibility in regard to the self thaw out of the entire is before the whose jurisdiction is absolute and of whose thoroughness impartiality. Can be no question. V meanwhile to regard of b. O. Who has been arrested and the other men of standing in their communities whose names figure in Philip Lott s accusations they Are entitled to the suspension of judgment by the Public which even of a horse thief when on trial. The truth will assuredly be searched out and if pit Zilp Lett s charges Are established no one who is guilty will escape just punishment. Any tampering with by Quot boxes is a crime which the Canadian people regard As of the it a sunday most seriousness and to be visited with a heavy realty and without mitigation of the severity of the Law. The Story told by Philip Lott is certainly a most extraordinary one. If it is a True Story he stands self disclosed As a Man who for the Best part of a year played of accomplice to his own brother in a plot to secure the latter s election fraudulently his real object All along being the securing of information on which the present charges. The sacred flame of pure love of country and of desire for honesty in elections must bum with consuming ardor in Philip Lett s to Lead him on to Render such the cause of patriotic citizenship1. There Are not Many men capable of what he says he has been doing for the greater part of the past year. The average of human nature is on. A higher level. The reports of s ten tips of calling an extra re vision session of Congress Are to be regarded As indicating that a contemplates breaking away from the domination of Eastern leadership in the re up Unican party. He finds plenty of support among the republicans of the West for Tariff revision but there is no sign As yet that any of the re cognized Eastern leaders of the party . In favor of doing anything with the Dingley Tariff except to leave it alone meet by Spring the elections cannot deferred beyond midwinter. The electoral Campaign will doubtless be Gin the moment the new ministers take office and it is quite possible that the Appeal to Tho people will be made immediately. As to the result the new russian minister of the Interior prom the new 1 Ork eponine Post a St. Petersburg correspondent of one of the Paris newspapers explains to at the recent rumours of the impending resignation of the new russian minister of Che Interior Prince so Iota were caused by the Sec ret cuorts of m. the procurator of the holy Synod to secure his removal by the Czar. Natur ally in the eyes of m. the Prince must be the incarnation it All that is perilous and revolutionary. It appears that the former in a Pri vate memorandum to the Czar declared that he minister of Tuftie Interior was leading Russia headlong to her cast auction. The assault was not Alta Ceiner ineffective for the Czar at first was inclined to give ear to it and not Only received the Prince very coldly but raised a number of objections plans of Tea Prince it is said reminded the Emper or of the conditions on which he accepted office and added although i am a.

Pos Sibly the prophetic Rogers will in form Tho Public As to what the out come will be though he is maintain ing these Days a silence that is As grateful As it is amazing. Much will depend upon the fighting calibre of the new ministry and the grounds upon which it makes its Appeal to the peo ple.
