THE POLITICAL SAMSON GRINDING FOR THE PHILISTINES.
EATING THE LEEK; OR, “HENRY V.” AS LATELY PLAYED IN THE COMMONS
Mr. Mackenzie had been charged with nepotism in connection with the purchase of steel rails for the C. P. R.—the contract for the purchase having been awarded to a firm in which it was alleged the Premier’s brother had an interest. This charge had been repeated frequently upon the hustings, although Mr. Mackenzie had demonstrated that it was unfounded. His explanation upon the floor of Parliament at this time gave the final death blow to the slander.
