That Ministerial Difficulty in Canadian Politics
The Globe and allied journals push a ministerial crisis yet show no real split in the Cabinet. Cartier and Langevin influence Ontario and Quebec routes for the Intercolonial Trailway, while the House awaits a decision. The supposed personal rift between Sir John A. Macdonald and Cartier is denied by both, with broader notes on Confederation shifts and Ontario's rising influence.

It is intimated he may also join Mr Blair's Cabinet, chosen for Reform leanings to balance the ministry. Older council members were passed over for Ontario senate seats, making Benson a plausible pick.
