Though the intended reve1a ' ' of a
base conspiracy to buy up supporters of
the Mowat Government was known to •
considerable number of persons, they
kept their counsel well, and the explo-

tators, who got • spicier gierformance
than they had bargained for. There
was nothing in the proceedings of the
