Last

a

heard
the
minister
of

Hon.
Joshua
Hinchliffe,
give
an
excellent
speech
in
which
he,
in
a
most
lucid

laid
all

i
ancial
ills
of
the
cabinet,
of
which
he
is
a
member,
at
the
doors
of
the
previous
Liberal
government.
He
quoted
figures
one
after
another
to
show
that
the
increases
in
the
budget
were
not
of
Premier
Tolmle's
making
but
were
forced
upon
the!
government
by
circumstances
over
which
it
had
no
control,
particularly
by
careless
financial
methods
of
its
predecessors.
The
speaker
also
extolled
Premier

as
a
strong
man
whom
no

could
