vice on the question of the general

worth reproduction here:
'If everybody were 'loyal to the

And here, perhaps, maybe dis-

Yet this is what LP, Lucas did in
1598, The Boy Orator had married
the daughter :of Matthew K. Rich-

mortgage on the seat for South
Grey. At the conservative nomi-
nation meeting all names hutthree
were wit hell•awn. Some delegates
from an outlying district Were in
a quandary, and. came to the young
maa to ask what they ghould do.
"If Mr. Richascision had not been

for you," they said.

"Then vote for nit', anyway," said
young Lucas. "The -squire has just

they wished 110 hand him the com-

He spoke m good faith, but with

That the doorkeeper at Queen's
