"In fact," says La Patrice, "'we would not have been surprised had we suffered a reverse." Why? "The wishes | and authority of the leaders * * * were put aside." This recalls the time when the liberals talked of local in- dependence, when the party in com ventifn laid down certain principles, callbd a platform, and the electors, by popular choice, selected a candi- still. the parties they répresent, and they never do so well as when they seck to act in 'accordance with the 'popular will.
