"When fir«# car- ried they were ^oubffal of its iefficacy, but the longer it continued "in force the more they tlipught of it.

We Wid to him that it surprised ua tbat if the Act worked an wc}ra« he said it did, it was not car- ried by a larger majority tlie second vote than 180. He explained that tbe License Victuallers of Canada deluged tbe County with money. He was for years a Depiity Reeve of the Towtiship. Ho knew what elections were. He was acquainted with cor- ruption, but m «11 his life he nevtr kiietY anything iike the second election over tlie Scott Act iu Halton, He knew personally of $19,000 being spent at one point. Were he to give a rough candid guess he would be safe iu eaying that not less than $200,000 waj ppent by the License Victuallers. They were that in the Liceuse Victullers, perfectly confident of Fuceess. Hundreds took bribes, aud afterwavds went to the polls and voted against the repeal of the Act. Were a vote, a fair honest vote to be taken n^TWT^he spaajority in favor of the Act would be simply overwhelming. He knew whiskey was even yet sold and drank on the sly. He knew back doors, tbe cldsets and the cellars. But even they fl#^Mltrbfri60BiI»g thiQgs of the past, anp a better epoch is coming.

Probably not one foreigner in a hundred has ever heard of even the name of Predeal, but among the native population it has gained an imperish- able renown from the memory of a lf;reat crime and a fearful traj^edy.

The old bar is being alter- ed, and the-hotels now are being fit for even bpys to go into. He has taken his wife and family of five children into the hotel and treated the seven to beef tea and biscuit all for 50 cents. It pays the hotelkeeper, and it pays him. He never was a bigot. He has no ill will towards a man simply because he keeps a hotel, but be must soy that the Scctt Act iu Halton has by its working forever con- -vmced him that whiskey selling is an awful curse, and can easily be done away with without any loss at all to the hotel keeper, but on the other hand it wiine 4 great gain to him in wealth in respedtability. in everything. To illustrate, .=Abqiit two weeks after the late mi^i^al election he met two Methodist cfer^mon with their -wives. It was a M^teir cold day. The five went to tBfe hotel.

It is impossible to give ovou an outline of tlie arguments advaucwl (for the debate occupied two hours aud ten minutes), but it is generally con- ceded that the subject was well handled by both sides, and that if the spciilierd did not get to the botton; of tbe queston they were not very lar from it â€" at least not much farther than some of those orators who awaken the halls.of our legislatures over it, zm\ whoes utterances appear so very wise when we read them iu the daily papers.
