In peace the quiet Statesman he-but when the war
He buckled on his armor to meet his countrys
Like fine true harted gentleman,

And when he served his country WE'LL In Senate and

The honor that awaited him, most freely did he

Returned him to his home again, and sought far

For though he'd .fad the Offices, he never took the

Like fine true-hearted gentleman,
All ofthe olden time.
And when the People In their might have put their

Upon the arch Magician, and all his Tory clam
To manage well their State affairs. with accord

A MEMORIAL FOR THE RELEASE
OF WIN. l.. MACKENZIE.

OF VIM. L.. MACKENZIE.
To the Hon. the House Of Representatives
ofhe U. s. Of america, in Congress
assembled.
The Memorial Of the undersigned in
habi,anis of
Respectfully sheweth -
That your memorlalisls are DESTROYS To
bring the case OF William Lyon Macken-
zie, late OF Toronto, Upper Canada, Prin-
ter, before your Honorable House, under
circumstances which, according 10 the best
information they have been able to obtain,
are as follows
| He has been kept in close confinement
in pcnitentiary Of Monroe County,
Rochester, n. Y, for more than nino
months, under verdict obtained at Cam
andagua, in the United States Circuit
Court, Of an indictment in which he was
charged with violating The laws of neu-
trality, in 1887.
His was the first conviction under a law
passed in 1894, and which had remained a
dead letter on the statute book FOR nearly
half century ; it having never been acted
upon during The South American, Greek.
Mexican or Texan revolts nor is il de-
fined or explained in the courts of the u
nited States.
Said Mackenzie was without counsel on
the trial, he was not bred TO the profession
OF the aw, and must have been ignorant
Of the rules, ussges and practice of our
courts.
