Next, the result is 5 stinging rebuke to the federal government which, at the outset of its career, did not seru- ple to attempt anything in order to defeat Mr. Graham.

If Providence spares him, he will balance all these open and person- al accounts, and without resorting, let us' hope, to the despicable means which characterized the conduct of many of his opponents in South Ren- frew.
