If they did so, they would, he believed, be- pursuing a course foreign tb the desire of the House • because, as he had stated before, he was not arguing the question witK reference to Mr Macandrew. The question was this, " "Was this power to be given to" the Superintendent,' who was so by an election, which had not been disallowed?" It was mot a' per sonal question. It was, should the Govern ment have a right to punish the electors and the whole Province by refusing to the Super intendent those powers which are absolutely necessary for its good government? The history of that election was known to most honorable members. He had already stated that Mr Macandrew was elected by a very large majority, and he might add that there Was a very-bitter opposition, and that the election was warmly contested. It was not perhaps much to the purpose that he dil not come forward at his ownlnstance, but at the instance of others. The fact remained the same j that after he came forward, ihe was elected by a very large majority, and then those who had most bitterly opposed him, in cluding holders of property and others having large interests in the Province, accepted the result. He1' (Mr Vogel) asked' the House to remember this in taking into consideration -the question whether it was right to deprive Mr Macandrew of the powers necessary for the proper fulfilment of his office. The House would not consider him egotistical in saying that amongst those who opposed Mr, Macandrew he was himself very earnest. He mentioned himself to show what was the process of reasoning adopted by those who, having opposed Mr Macandrew, accepted the result. He opposed the election, but when the result was arrived' at, he con ceived that they had ho other "course but to regard him as the elected Superintendent of the Province. l That was the course which he adopted, as well as thousands of others, includuig those who, without voting,; op posed the election, but who saw that for the good order and government of the Province the election must stand. -He did not think, after what he had said, that it was at all necessary to open a personal question, the discussion of which would reflect no credit on the House.
