Mr. ucLELLAys RED LIGHT"

In the light of Mr.. McClellan's full and COM

Can Mr.. Mcclellan explicitly answer that
question? Can he show any intelligent person
reason for thinking that he who in 1901 said OF
Crokerism, Van Wyckism and DeveryisIn, we
have no apologies to offer" would In 1904 make
the least effective resistance TO the spread of
immortality 10y the same men who made New
York a sink of iniquity in the last Tammany
administration? Dare he take up his record OF
consistent intimacy with the men who made
law the handmade of vice and crime and dis
cuss in detail mis- relations with them and the
possibility OF his now turning against themg
Mr.. Mcclellan knew all about the police ex-
tortiOn in the Gilroy administration. and. though
an educated refined man. he was ready TO stand
with the blackmaiers. He knew that Croker
avOwed that he used political power for the
benefit of his own pocket all the time, yet he
was ready TO cast in his fortunes with Croker.
He knew the shameful record Of the Van Wyck
administration. and declared, we have done
well" Now he attempts 10 tear off the ''red
light" which he then hung about his own neck,
by saying that Devery is expelled from Tam
many. But Mr.. Mcclellan cannot rid himself
in that way Of his chosen badge. All the wick
edness OF DeveTyism had been done and had
been made manifest 10 n Mortified community
when Mr.. Mcclellan brazenly said Of Devery
ism: Ours is the credit and ours the honor.

himself hung the red light his own neck.
Instead of protesting angrily al finding it there,
let him give ono reason TO tine voters for think

he do il? Dare he even try it?

Buncombe Ii is thus natural that the oppo-
sition should try to incline the sentiment OF
Buncombe against the Laurier government by
dwelling upon the magnitude OF the loss which
has been sustained through its submission OF
the Alaska dispute to adjudication. 1t Is also
natural that the administration party should
strive TO vindicate itself In the esteem or Bun
combe by denouncing the settlement TO which
it was itself party, and by suggesting that its
noble ambition TO acquire some United states
territory for Canada was frustrated only through
the action of 'abhorrent and forbidden forces.
Such utterances warm the cookies Of the Bun
combe heart, and as their Pickwickian charac-
ter is perfectly well understood elsewhere, they
do nobody any harm
Nevertheless il might not be altogether I'M
profitable for some Of our Canadian friends to
get together in some remote corner or the Do
minon, where Buncombe County could not hear
them, and there ask themselves rev simple
questions. For example: Seeing that an al
Indicator obviously and undisputedly partial to
their side has decided against them, how could
they have expected any better treatment from
an impartial arbitrator? Also: What could
be more purely judicial than for distin-
gushed jurist of unchallenged probity, after
painstaking investigation and consideration. TO
give a decision contrary 70 the bent Of his own
natural desires? Again: II Canada backed

We cannot ind ii upon the map. but never
