'i' M: m. 'daogtmirtriti- But what was this awful "wrong" done Dr. Laclmer, and why should Dr. Lackner plead for the sympa- thies of the voters on the ground of being an injured and ill-used man ? Being, satisfied that the result of the election was brought about by dishonest and corrupt means the Liberals promptly decided to enter a protest to save the constituency of North Waterloo from being misre-‘ presented for four years by a man' who had obtained his seat by such 1 means. The result of these pro- ceedings upon this protest is well-l known, and known to the Record as well as any one. Afteraverv few of the petitioner's witnesses had been heard, and a mere fraction o the evidence which the petitioner had at hand had been put in, Dr, Lackner's counsel,, with Dr. Lack- ner sitting beside him. said that he would admit that evidence could be given of numerous other similar instances, and that the facts proved constituted, as Mr. Justice Rose put it in his judgment, "a typical case." It was good tactics,undoubtedly, on the part of Dr. Lackner's counsel by such admission,to prevent evi dence being given in detail of the wholesale corruption by which the election of Dr. Lackner had been brought about. But in the face of such an admission where is the “wrong? done Dr. Laclmer when _tle_is unscated on the strength of this admission? 7 The two fiiii judges were clearly of opinion that the.corrupuon proved and admitted rendered it impossible for them to sustain the election ; they were obliged to declare it void. And more ' it was only after much hesi. tation, and with grave doubts, and by giving Dr.Lackner, as expressed in the judgment. "the benefit of the doubt", that they refrained from disqualifying him. And yet, not- withstanding all this, Dr. Lackner, his accomplices, his supporters, and his newspaper are persistently ap- pealing for sympathy for Dr. Lack- Ber on the ground of some "wrong" done him! Who has done him this "wrong"? The too trial Judges gave no hasty judgment. but after careful delib eration decided that only by being mt lenient could they escape dis qualifying Dr. Lackner. The five Judges of the Court at Appeal after hearing all that could be said for DrLackner by most able counsel ananimoualy decided that the trial Jud“ were right in unseating him. When that men therefore and that a "wrong" baa been “Dr. Monday an deliberately charg- .

At the convention held last week, which renominated him as the Conservative caudidate,this cry was kept most . prominent. Speaker after speaker harped upon this as the one chief reasgn why the Conservatives should work desperately to elect the the nnseated member. Dr. Lack. ner himself grew 'nlmost tearfully indignant as he talked of it to the Convention, and our friend of the Record can find no better argument to put before his readers than to re- peat in issue after issue of his paper this same appeal to the sympathies of the voters. _ A.

A (man deserves credit, as human nature is constituted, if he has acquired and maintains intact a nameTor honorable dealings with his fellowmen. No one should be expected to answer for the sins of other men whose actions he can-not control. This is not British fair play.

Mere party affiliation should not be allowed to influence their choice. There are other weighty considera. lions. Men who have made a success of their own business are more like. ly to be useful legislators than others who never had any business to manage. They are more apt to know what the country wants in the shape of tactical legislation. Level headetf business men, who The Hardy Government has a working majority in the House and will be found, on every lawful week day for the next three years, doing business at the old stand. The election of Mr. Breithaupt will line up North Waterloo on the side of honest administration of public affairs, while the return of Dr.Lack- net would only add another gust to an Opposition already unduly in. flated with a superabundanee of wind. The country wants practical business men in Parliament and not mere talking machines. l, ho, alter making a gallant tight against all the .thtrts of Dr Lark. , oer and the Conservative party, was t beaten only by the unfair. dishonest I and corrupt means which were em- ployed against him and which were only in small parts exposed at the trial, and to the Liberal party whom l he represented in that content. The ' wrong can never be wholly re- paired; for Dr Clemens lived only long enough tone that an oppor- tunity would be given to North W'aterloo to rectify that wrong; he died before it could be rectified. But all the friends of Dr Clemens, who felt on personal as well as other grounds the great wrong which had been done him, and all the Liberals of North Waterloo who suffered with him under that wrong, may well bear in mind the Record's constant injunction, "Remember the protest" and take advantage of the opportu- nity given them by the result of that protest to rectify as tar as can now be done the great wrong by I which Dr Clemens was the most conspicuous, though not the only sufferer. Let the majority for Breithaupt on the 23rd be so em- l phatic as to show clearly what the ', electors think of this unmanly, this . dishonorable, this childish cry of a _ wrong done Dr Lackner.

Breithaupt, the Liberal yell candidate; is a native of Berlin. He was born and brought up in the tnt County seat and his whole life has 't" been identified with the growth and tu. prosperity of the town. His grand- of ather, Jacob Hailer, emigrated to an this country in 1830 and took a very active interest in the development by of the village which has since grown ast to be the most prosperous town in tly Ontario. His father, the late Louis for Breithaupt, was the founder of the tanning :industry which, since his m- death, has been carried on by his he sons and bas grown to such vast tis proportions. He also actively in. fa terer ted himself in the development of Berlin, and when he died in t880, he was filling the Mayor's chair for the second term. He was a man of keen insight, splendid business ability and untiring energy and laid a the foundation of the vast business ad now carried on by the Breithaupt ek Leather Company. Upon the death of Mr. Breithaupt, tir., the business ng management fell upon Mr. L. J., he Breithaupt, the Liberal Candidate, ne then a very young man to assume; of such heavy responsibilities.
