THIS NEWMARKET FKBRUARY Joint Meeting Was practically a Gathering The Minister in Fine and His Immense on a Bitted Gold Night By our Special Reporter Feb The joint meeting held here tonight in the in terests the two candidates could not have been more enthusiastically Davis had it been called exclusively in the interests of Commissioner of Crown Lands The hall seats sit hundred two hundred stood thru- out and at least one hundred per sons crowded the platform There were many more present than ventured out at the Aurora meeting and while the meeting was itally Liberal in tone Mr Lennox was accorded a hear The friends of the Commission er of Crown Lands have seldom or heard Mr Davis in better trim and he scored on bis opponent re peatedly to the intense amusement of the audience Reeve Richard Un derbill made a capital chairman His introductory address displayed more than ordinary ability as a speaker while his discharge of the responsible duties devolving upon him gave evi dence of extreme fairness and impar tiality He Asserted that the elec tors of had long waited for the opportunity and were now glad to hear candidates enun ciate from the same platform their views on the Apolitical public ques tions of the No No Not Lennox speedily let the chair man know that he did not Intend to discuss public questions at all claimed that those pros- expressed for the pur pose getting some information With reference to the settlement of the protest He went over his ver sion preliminaries leading up to tie settlement and referred again to the publication in the Globe the report of the settlement although it had been arranged to say nothing about it till after the byeelections on the He repeated his asser tion that Mr Davis had paid all bis costs and charged Mr Davis and Mr Ross with suppressing the truth an endeavor to influence the three tbs voice And we won them too Cheers Mr Lennox I have no doubt that won them by the same tactics were adopted by the of Crown Lands An And well win North York Cheers For the balance of the hour the Whitney candidate repeated his ar gument of the previous night the on ly new feature being Mr Lennoxs magnificent and munificent to permit Mr Davis to go back by ac clamation if he would give to the poor the riding Laugh ter Commissioner of Crown Lands Mr Davis was given a grand re ception and a bouquet from little Miss Underbill who in return was accorded the customary salute Af ter a few words greeting he got after his opponent with a story of a veteran lawyers advice to bis son just starting upon a legal career When you have a case to plead be fore a jury said the old man and not from his opponent and he was Air Davis I am satisfied What is never ashamed of any arrangement the matter with it- Cheers All He Can Look After- entered into in his life Not only did Mr Davis tell the truth ac cording to the Whitney candidate but Judge Morgan was a liar too Laughter And Judge Morgan was a personal friend Mr Lennox It was incorrect to say that Mr Da vis had made the protest an issue by Mr Davis showed the absurdity of Mr Lennoxs claim that the result of the settlement had placed him in the same position as though the case had gone to trial and the seat open ed by the courts Where was the publishing his and the judges state- rank corruption of the Liberal par- had been done to set Mr- Lennox had promised to ex- i That right tin many false statements which had been made by the Whitney candidate and his friends with regard to the protest lie quoted Judge Morgan to show that he Davis had absolutely refused to consider a set tlement the basis of paying ail opponents costs fie had merely paid the excess costs Mr Lennox was satisfied at the time but now that he feels that he was in the matter of costs he began to complain- An honest man rods noblest work To emphasize the fact that Mr Lennox was telling what he claimed lo Ic the truth at Ihe Aurora meet ing he found it necessary to produce and kiss a Bible When the day came that Mr Davis had to stand on a public platform in York and kiss the to get his friends to believe him he would retire from public life He even car ried the bluff a little farther Mr Lennox was nothing if not dramatic Fireworks froth and bubble suited him and be concluded Aurora meeting by reading a bill costs totalling hut made up- Weeks and weeks after the settlement The Whitney candidate or bis solicitors did not tell the truth when the costs were discussed before Judge Morgan or he was not telling the truth now At hi Aurora meeting Mr Lennox selected the name of Rev Mr Pear son as one to represent him in wait ing Morgan in order lo ask the judge if he really bad told a He in the statement he had made with reference to the settlement of the pro test Mr Pearson had authorized Mr Davis to state on the platform and in the press if necessary that he would refuse to go on a deputa tion of that character He felt it to be an insult and it was likewise an insult to the judge to go before him on such a- humiliating errand Mr Davis said his opponent had done his best to get the judge to change that statement and failed And the judge would not change his state ment Why should he Dollars by Mail pose The Whitney candidate pealed to the Liberals with one breath and aQirmed with the next that the honor of the Conservative party was in his keeping think he will have all he can attend to in looking after the honor of his party said Mr Davis The Liberals have worried along without his assistance or appeals fort a long time and pro bably will be able to for a long time come In Days of Yore you r strong in the law and Then Mr Davis in eloquent lan guage traced the history of Liberal ism its association with the names of Bright and Gladstone and the work it had performed for the eleva tion of the masses Coming down to Says of the Family Compact in our own land he reminded his hearers tie time when York had to elect a- Liberal not once but three times and carry him to the very doors Of Parliament before they could get rights He touched on the present prospects of the Lib eral party pointing out that as prophesied by Mr Ross at the great mass meeting in Newmarket last Oc tober the majority had steadily grown It was seven now and would be ten or twelve by the time the House meets The people had to consider two things First the Gov ernments position and secondly the fitness of the candidate As Government was safely in power perhaps it was not unreasonable that he should ask them if they did not prefer to be represented on the floor of parliament by a member of that Government who would be in a posi tion to do something for them when legislation was being advanced one having influence in the councils of country and on the floor of parlia ment Mr Davis proceeded effectually to demonstrate how the Governments enlarged tjie field of employ ment in New Ontario is well as en larged the markets of the older por tion of the province They had at the helm in Ontario today in Prem ier Ross a man who looks with an eye of faith in of the Province- No man bad ever had such faith in the Province before and that faith had been justified by re- Control of Water Powers The question of water powers had and consisted of getting the I J J into the hands the opposing vol- S me tell you something and he looked around as though searching for the Bible again have not tasted a drop intoxicating liquor in the town of Aurora for nine years What do vou think of that Ho ho ho shouted the crowd Do you live outside the corpora- ticn asked one lusty shouter another suggested some one else and in response evidently Mr Lennox- repeated his statement He claimed to have voted for the pleb iscite and to have done more to aid the referendum than Mr Davis had He was the treating sys tem Laughter Mr Davis Concludes Mr Davis in closing the debate re minded Mr Lennox that he had omitted to say anything about the marked that be promised any one who could one outside or ganizer who bad assisted him at the general election For air Lennoxs benefit he mentioned the name one Cherry who had been seen driving a stranger on the West side of King Mr Lennox complained that the Lib eral expenditure in toe riding had not all been accounted tor and Mr Da vis asked why Mr Lennoxs state ment of disbursements did not in clude the payment for halls rented at Alt Albert and Newmarket band at Sutton and Roachs Point Hear hear Mr Lennox bad boast ed of the achievement of his imported Buffalo detective and Mr Davis told tie audience how a detective from To in his interests had one the Buffalo men in hotel in the north end of got him in an upper room the day before election when the came o see him looked I MANY of MANY MINDS By EDITH t ty five the day of Mr Davis went on to expose a scheme that had been hatched at Au rora for the purpose of spoiling good votes It had corns to his notice that a dollar had been sent by mail from Aurora to one of his friends with a note Vote for Da vis This was an old old trick way until election With regard to Rev Washing tons request Mr As stated at Newmarket the other day Lam a total abstainer have been- all life live temper ance day by day I lose votes I think in every election because- I will not treat I am delighted to know that my opponent is so strong ly onnosed to the treating system I never would have imagined that but lam glad he states be has taken a change because it is something new that we have not heard of be fore Laughter If everybody did as do you would not require any laws against liquor in any way be cause nobody would buy it and would use It stated at Newmarket as I state now that Premier Ross received a temperance delegation the other day and in his reply to their statements and representations he stated that he considered the voter on tjic refer endum significant and it would careful consideration at his hands and he not do anything unless he had sufficient majority in the House to enable him to leg islation He said that when the House met and he had an opportun ity to consult his followers mat ter would be given the consideration it deserved and he then could decide what he would propose on this import And stated that stood behind Premier Ross on this important question and would stand behind him in whatever action he took on that great and important matter After pointing out that his oppon ents leader Mr Whitney was total ly to legislation of this kind Mr Davis concluded and the meeting adjourned weak in facts emphasize the law as strongly as possible and say little about the facts Laughter and And where you have to plead a case where you arc strong in the facts and weak in the law em phasize the facts and say little about the law Renewed Laughter And the young man said Father what will I do if J have a case where I am weak both in the law and the facts Why then my son said the veter an you will make a long speech You will go all around subject You will try to bamboozle the jury arid you will abuse the opposing at torney and his client Laughter and cheers And added Mr Davis my friend who has just you weak both in the law arid the facts The judge is against him on every facts are against him on every Hie opponent it they believed lie statements lie made said plainly that the was a liar That was putting the meaning plainly and clear but in view of his lifelong record in the riding as a private ixti man and a nubile man be left hi a matter Merit and himself be could it In of the riding and abide by Verdict of the ballot box on the 2tb with the false construction fitted upon the protest Mr Davis pointed out that Mr statement was word for word with the language made use of in Aurora Might it one the audience suggested that the Whitney candidate might It and save time Mr Davis opposing ers and then them when they came out to vole He his hearers to be on the outlook for such practices and send any money received in such a way to his solici tors who would safeguard their vote Mr Davis asked what had become of the marked cheque Mr Lennox had to anyone who would name an outside organizer who had assisted in the last campaign He under stood that the money had been ap plied for by two or three persons but it had not been Mr Davis made no secret that he had or two men assisting him in the contest but they were local men who were known in the riding and they registered properly not as John Smith Laughter and applauso He complained that the Whitney can didate had abused Mr Shields one of Mr Davis supporters t a pub lic meeting He warned Mr Lennox that such actions would do him no good Why not lie Satisfied With much force Mr Davis showed how opponent after entering in to a mutual arrangement with refer ence to the protest now endeavored to hay that Mr Davis was entirely to blame and the Whitney candidate was not responsible In any way We are told my friend got every thing he wanted in the settlement said Mr Davis and got every thing I wanted in the settlement was thoroughly satisfied and I am satisfied now It was Mr Davis own proposition to ob viate the enormous expense and bit terness and as stated to the judge Mr Davis was willing to make the sacrifice resigning scat and them an to say whether they wanted him as their candidate or not There had been exposures his opponent could have exposed him or his friends be do it as fond of law and costs as is Instead stated positively the suKeeslion of why Mr Davis did not do resignation came from himself and it He says he Is satisfied added to explain the policy of the Department over which he had control He showed that the Gov ernment did not dispose of this val uable privilege outright but leased the water powers at cents per horse power per annum the Govern ment retaining the right to revise the rental at the end of 20 years And predict said Mr Davis that in the next twenty or thirty years revenue coming into the Provincial from leases of these water powers and consequent development and use of our raw material will amount to a very large sum Is protest settlement everything and these great public questions no thing that they should be ignored by the candidates- on an occasion of this kind Last year the Government bad sur veyed ten townships in New On tario This spring they would have to survey or to the rush of settlers The Govern ment was doing all it could in the way of roads and were also building a government railroad miles of which was already completed Ap plause Mr Davis In turn touched upon the mineral wealth of the Province policy of reservation and the unique financial record of the Govern ment and then time was up The Crowd Laughs at Lennox the half hour at Mr Lennoxs disposal he made not a single point until he to reply to Rev Geo Washingtons question as to he stood with reference to the liquor question While he was not a total abstainer said Mr Lennox there was no man in the Riding of North York who had more sympathy for the cause of temperance than he had At this the crowd laughed long and derisively No sir added Mr Lennox I dont know why you should laugh- and the crowd and his friends among them laughed again They thought it was one of Heroics Jokes Odds and Hods In the northwestern part of not far east of the fifc9 of silent streets and empty several

moved forty years ago Judge Parker was a ponderous easy going man of tremendous legal Infor mation with q long white face and almost no nerves He scarcely per ceived the loneliness of his remote house and be did not miss bis family too sensitively as when they were with him he bad very slight ly acquainted them His taste was not for men Individ uals but In bulk loved the public and public life and be would have pre ferred almost any discomfort out of doors or In a ball to sitting in a parlor through an evening The judge could not for an instant bear exclusive society Indeed the only moment when he experienced un easiness was when he was forced Into the presence of a group of people se lected by delicate social tact instead of by the rude hand of or polit ical organization If he had no lecture no Republican rally or A XL meet ing to attend be would go out and sit on the fence of his grass plot to smoke and to talk to Nick or to any casual loafer Paul band enjoyed almost but that of

temperamental problems when Paul went borne that and saw the judge sitting on the front steps with bis hat on the back of his head talking to Nick as be bad be fore bis house was disgraced and bis fortunes ruined be felt among bis own troubles a sense of sympathy for a fel- sufferer r As he passed he touched the judges coat sleeve as a subtle of regret but his Intention was evidently quite

extravagant He was not obliged to change in any way bis domestic or social customs and It will be seen that his spirits and life had been less affected by bis ruin than had Paul by the remotest shadow
