A movement is afoot among the Conservative party in Ontario which may result in a change of masters. Dome people may distrust it on the principle that it's better to hear the ills they have than to tty to others they know not of. At any rate, the move- ment indicates that the Conservative party is dissatistied with itself, and choice at the old leaders, who have rid- den everywhere for a fall.

This horse in n bad steeplechaser. It has always thrown its riders, as Sir William Ralph Meredith might testify if ho were consulted. However it is not the cue of the new movement to con- auit anybody. Mr. Whitney, we are told, endorsed the new constitution, and sodid the party organizers when anh- mitted to them.
