'A TORY ROORBACK
THE Tories are industri-
ously circulating a cam-
paign roorback that Mr.
Holmes' nomination paper
was not in the hands of
the returning officer at
the time specified by
statute. The report has
not the slightest founda-
tion. The nomination pa-
per was placed in the
hands of the returning of-
ficer in proper time, and
itk-the presence of Dudley
Holmes. Thisours gent-
leman, being wit anIn-
quisitive turn of mind,
asked for leave to examine
the document, which was
not granted, as he could
produce no authority for
his demand. That is all
there is to the story.
If Robt. McLean thinks
he is elected by acclama-
tion why does he not stop
holding meetings and can-
vassing ?
