OTTAWA. ont., July is.-Some start
ling revelations were made before the
House ofcommons Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections yesterday, by p. v.
Vain. Conservative ex-M. L. and ex-
chairman of the Harpor Commission of
Quebec. lie spoke to Thos- AcGreevy
about the way ne was showing himseif
forward IN the commission. and Me-
Greevy replied: IL am SIR Hector Lam
gevlu's confidential man." He then
spoke 20 SIR Hector himself, and the
minister told hlm "to follow MeGreevy,
and everything will be ali right.
You know ~ are frequently
together and consult together"
After that witness said he always con-
sldered that Mctireevy spoke for Sir
Hector. In 1887 witness asked Nc
Greeyy If Lsrkln. Connolly Il Co. had
subscribed Tor the elections. McGreevy
answered that they had been very
generous. They we've good fellows.
Iney ought to be taken care OF. They
had subscribed largely and Sir Hector
Was we'll pleased with them. In deal
ing with this flrm, the harbor commls-
sion always treated with Murphy as the
representative man. During the elec-
tons OF 1885 Murphy sent hIm political
subscriptions; he did not know how
much. lie took part in the federal
elections OF 1887. He Was the con-
servatlve candidate for Montmorency
and asked for money. McGreevy
gave him money three different times,
about 5000 each time; and his election
agents II the last moment told HIM un-
less they had more money his election
MAS IN danger. He therefore applied
again TO McGreevy and Murphy.
Murphy told him he had left in Nc
Greeyy's hands all that WAS needed.
He then saw McGreeyy. wLo.complaIn-
ed because the election in Quebec
county, where SIR Adolphe Caron was
running cost so much. All the min
listers cost so much that there was no
money left. Caron, he said. WAS al
ways after him. and he had
not enough to satisfy him. and
added: I'VE have Sir Hector
at Three Rivers. toc." Witness
also spoke to Sir Hector about money
and the minister said he had seen Nc
Greevy that morning and advised wit
ness TO go and see him, rs he WAS in
charge of the money. At the election
in March last, witness swore he received
a subscription from Larkin. Connolly
u Company through Michael Connolly.
On one occasion Sir Hector Langevln
told him that IT the harbor commission
did not act properly he would dissolve
it. Witness received $1,000 u year salary
as chairman, but paid out about $500
for election purposes.
