Alderman Graham was for- inerly a Liberal, and bolted the party for personal reasons, Then the Conservatives seem to have tired. of him, He - canvassed some electors as.an Independent, but his course in the Council stamped him as anything but Independent, and his appeal went without effect. The Conserva- tive party must have concluded that it would pay to drop him, at any Cost, and it - remains to be seen whether it were wise in this decision. Every Government officia] should cut free from other" men who are not blessed with Government revenues. The indep- endence which used to be insisted upon hys been largely abandoned in recent years.
