BOLD ENOUGH ? Laurier has decided that the limit has been reached concessions on the election bill--that he has offered to make the revision of lists in Manitoba judicial, and in righteousness he can go no further--the people will be satisfied There may be times when obstruction is warrdnted. An occasion for it oe- ourred in the closing hours of the legislature--that last awful week--and had the liberals realized the true sig- nificance of the C.N.R. deal ther would the government with any old thing, even with brick bate, in order to fully de- monstrate their stand. In the federal parliameng the libe- vals have held the fort for days in order to make an impression upon the country, if not upon the government, with regard to certain things. But never has there been anything ap- proaching the absurd position of the opposition upon the election bill. They profess to Want the guarantee of a pure election, and when the government answers the call they proceed to offer trouble, On the first paragraph--the neces- sity for rearranging the lists in Mani- toba--there is a difference of opinion. The fear of the conservatives is that there will not be time allowed them for the registration of voters, the and the pre mier the bill will be amended to provide for these government, in the mier's plaintive occasion was suggestive of a jubilation.

It hilly meet- ing, it is said, and of apiece in that respect with the meeting which Mr. Nickle himself conducted. The keynote of it was the square deal. Has Mr Whitney any right to plead for this ?

The barons prosper--with Mr, Whitney's permission. the people and servants know who are events, Has Mr. Whitney repeating the lie Mr. MacKay had that the C.N.R. not to be opposed ? A Square Deal!

At the edpservative convention, some 8 time ago, there was some pretty plain talk, and Dr. Spankie charged two things : (1) That Mr. Gallagher had, in a previous contest, he would make way for his friend, and had negloeted or refused to and (2) that Mr. Gallagher had made a sbrry representative of the county in the legislature. Mr. Gallagher had replied that on certain matters he had pressed his views and had failed to make them effective. Dr. Spankie al leged that had he been in the house he would have been something would have happened. The reader of the dimlogue concluded that the conservative party in the county was not with Mr. Gallagher's work, and yet he was giv- en the - another term The one conclusion followed --that Mr. Gallagher suited the machine, that he would do as he was told, was not troublesome on any account, and so the man that Mr. Whitoey wanted. It has been said that he tends the sessions of the house and so is present when votes are wanted? In this respect he may be more service able than a former conservative mem- per for Frontenac, whose whereabouts were a constant worry to the party whip. De.
