Some of our good Conservative ex-
changes place thenoselves in awkward
and inconsistent positions by their po-
litical zeal occasionally. They have
been making much' of the fact that Mr
Erb, the noptdar representative of the
riding,' wished to retire. According to
them he was thoroughly dissatisfied
with the administration, would not
support it any longer, and was quoted
by them as an evidence of the honest,
independent, :Liberals who would no
longer follow the party .lead, and they
chuck led with satisfaction,

he was at Ottawa, but he has too much)

knows has been for the best interests of
the country in every way.

nobly sustains the Liberal standard,
which he will likely carry to victory, -

It's "a pair of Bobs" again.
W. Smith, who has been selected as
the Conservative candidate for South
Ontario, is the man who unblushingly
admitted in Court that he spent over
$1600 corrupting the electorate in a
previous:contest, and whom the judges
scathingly denounced. A couple of
Conservative papers nave had the
manliness to denounce him as an im-
proper candidate.

It is a valuable animal for which a

and a fine upholstered seat, and har-

horse may now be seen on the streets,
