Aiter a strenuous day in which few of no available voters were left at home, the weary job of counting the ballots began. ?he political ballots were first don* and ere soon got through with but the referâ€" xndum ballots took more time and careâ€" ul tabulating. Dr. Jamieson‘s friends met in their committee rooms, the others wandered like lost sheep for a time but at last the Town Hall was secured and returns from the County were brought there from time to time from the G.

This may spring from a fear that if farmers |obtain power they will legislate against | the interests of the people in urbancenâ€" tres, this fear we think will be proved to be groundless, the obtaining of power is often a check to the aspirations held lwhile in opposition, and in any case farâ€" mers have common sense and the spirit of {airness quite equal to any other class and may be trusted to use it. " Dr. Jamieson has been defeated by a force rather than by an individval and in saving this we have no intention of belitâ€" tling Mr Leeson‘s success but beartily congratulate him on his great victory, a victory for which he gives the credit to the loyal'support of his brother farmers and to not a few in the towns and villages _g_l_so;,fl?fi'is'"'mfl' given a mandate for service in South Grey as few have receivâ€" ed, and from what we know of him and his ambitions, he will measure up to his opportunities @ How the Returns Were Received Geo.
