He turned to Burnt River as an example, where the Liberals had tried to break up a good meeting; the verdist that came from the vicinity was proof of what they had done for him. He niade a scath- ing attack upon the Liberal “ringers” and denounced their infamous methâ€" ods, but he praised more highly the independent Liberals who support- ed hjm and whom he had to thank for assisting to pile up such a large majority.

He did not care to dwell, he said, on the campaign and on the many incidents which made it keen. He had fought a clean, square fight, and regretted that the same results with which he had met had not been dealt out throughout the, Dominion.

The Sylvester Band took the lead playing a favorite Scotch air, and the members of the Conservative party fell into line and followed up in the rear of their standard bearer. The Colonel stood up in his carriage and saluted the crowds who thronged each side of the road en route to his home on Lindsay street. Upon arriv- al at the Colonel’s beautiful residence, the popular representative and his body guards gathered on the verandah with the band, and the citizens stood on the lawn. ) Mfillon and Mr; 2 all called upon f01' . man who had done 80 town.
