Mr.Hawke had long been aware of Senator Hanway's interference against himself in the Speakership fight, and in favor of Mr.Frost.True, he did not know of those four hundred terrifying telegrams that so shook from his support the hysterical little goat-bearded one and his equally hysterical fellows; but Mr.Hawke had learned enough to ascribe his defeat to Senator Hanway, and that was sufficient to edge him with double readiness to do said statesman what injury he could.

Besides, there was the native eagerness of Mr.Hawke to move everything for the good of Governor Obstinate.
Mr.Hawke came out in a well-considered interview concerning the Georgian Bay-Ontario Canal, in which he quoted in full the Toronto paper.

Mr.Hawke agreed with the Toronto paper; in addition he solemnly gave it as his belief that Senator Hanway's real purpose had ever been to arm England against this country.

Mr.Hawke became denunciatory, and called Senator Hanway a traitor working for English preference and English gold.

He said that Senator Hanway was a greater reprobate than Benedict Arnold.
