Mr. MIOLLOY:

The people generally, including gentlemen opposite themselves, know this to be true. Now, as regards the different offices that have been named, I am prepared to say that if I am a candidate again in the constituency which I have the honour to represent, I am willing, and indeed I would prefer, to accept such men as municipal clerks or Secretary-treasurers in any municipality in Provencher, and some are Conservative and some are Liberal. I am quite satisfied to have any one of these men nominated, and if I had the naming of them I would select them whether they were Liberal or Conservative. There are no more Unionists there, so that any man appointed would have to be a Conservative or a Liberal.

Mr. MOLLOY:

Some years ago the results of an election were affected by the action of a returning officer who, the previous night, moved a polling station, with the locus of which the electors were thoroughly acquainted, to a place of which they knew nothing. The consequence was that the next morning when they turned up at the old place there was no polling station.

1. Is the Government aware of the general dissatisfaction of the shippers of grain from the West with the Government terminal weights at Port Arthur and Fort William?

2. If so, what measures, if any, have been taken to investigate and remedy same?

3. If any investigations have been held by the Board of Grain Commissioners or other commission, has their report been received, and [DOT]what has been, if any, their recommendation?

Mr. MOLLOY:

the Government closed the market when it was an ascending market? .

Mr. MOLLOY:

One hundred and eighty-five after the soldier vote was counted.
