THE MINISTERIAL SHANTY
Mr. Joseph Cauchon, a prominent representative of Quebec, was taken into the Mackenzie Cabinet. M. Cauchon had, some time previously, been denounced by Mr. Brown, in connection with an episode in his Provincial career, as a most unworthy man. The incident referred to—that of making a speculation at the expense of the inmates of the Beauport Asylum at Quebec—was characterized by Mr. Brown as an offence that was “rank and smelled to heaven,” and this expression was constantly quoted by the Tory press during M. Cauchon’s connection with the Ministry.
