little doubt mr tilden was the lawfully elected candidate but he was counted out in favor of mr hayes mr tilden was a pare politician and an able lawyer and sris death will be regretted by both parties tie was seventytwo years old i it seems carious to have the press of new brunswick in this day of light arguing for the abolition of the practice of selling paupers it is almost incredible that such a scandal should exist in a i canada pro vince orthat the system should be tolerated for a day- after the light of public opinion has been thrown upon it yet such is the case and the system bids fair to be con tinued in the poorer parishes for some years to come unless the press does its duty no condition of things can justify jbhis traffic in infirm and unfortnnate humanity no plea of municipal poverty can ikccuse the abominable practice and the municipalities of new brunswick which adherer to the system shame and disgrace themselves every day they allow it to continue in operation
