In proofet this it declared thatChambly and Verelterea, I “mid neveryet elected Conservative". but it did not state that the constitu- ency had only been created by the last Conservative gerrymander bill with the expectation of giving the late Government an additional supporter, and that it was upon the onlv occasion that it had been given an opportunity to record a vote that it elected aLiber- al bye comfortable majority. The Mails nextettttemettt was, "Berthier is an- other hive" i it gave " one election it Liberal majority o.
