their faith in them as they cannot forget
that "nest of traitors" lid by Geo. E,
Foster and the financial times before
1896. One of Dr, Chisholm's cries at
the last campaign was that Dr. McDon-

Said he should step aside for a younger
man and during the last campaign told
both publicly and privately; that he was
only running for one term, 1 see from
posters that there is to be a Convention
called to put a mu into -the-6eld for the
riding for the Commons in the Conser-
vative interests and yet we know that
Dr. Chisholm when not at Oltawaor in
the West looking after his financial in-
terests there has been daily canvassing
for votes, 1> 11 canvassing hut begging
for them on the ground that he is a poor
man having lost his practice by being
our member. He did not think of that
when opposing Dr. McDonald or that he
has in fouryears drawn $ to,000.00 of our
money. The Convention is surely not
going to be a farce in the face of this or
is it the intention of the party to do jus-
tice to Jas. Bowman who was knifed in
the Local by the machine in Wingham
that gerrymandered the County and a-
bused the said Bowman on every oppor-
tunity in a way that wits never clone by
any Liberal. Such a machine is said by
one very near to Bowman to be run in the
interests of Dr. Chisholm) and otberaspir-
ing Conservatives in town of Wingham.
It may be a case of the party wanting to
do justice even at this late hour and it is
sincerely trusted such is the case and to
