Clark, Christopher St. George, 1891-1893 : A journalist and accountant, C.S. Clark was employed by Hunter-Rose & Co. in 1891 and was instrumental in obtaining for the Macdonald Government galley proofs of the annexation pamphlet written by Edward Farrer of the Toronto Globe, which the Conservative Party used to discredit the Liberals during the election campaign of that year. He was employed by the Department of Justice and Agriculture until 1893. During this time he wrote Of Toronto The Good; A Social Study (Montreal: 1898) and an account of the Farrer pamphlet incident which apparently was never published.
