1 PeMkirolce, Dee. 22. -There Is dis-
sension among the Liberals Whe are
running 'this campaign. In two form-
er lights Nicholas Jeffrey, a bright
young barrister of Guelph, was the
autocrat. In this one, however, the
Master mind is James Vance, who is
seeonded by Daman Marshall. ,But
the fine necromantic hand of Nicholas
is seen in many Ways.
It is adreitted by Liberals that
Ganley has focussed the electors`
minds in hiS charges and his defiance
to Stratton has made the.,publie say
“it is up to Stratton," Now the
question is bow best to cotabat this.
Iltir.1 Jeffrey takes the position that
Mr, Stratton is. justified in refusing
to face Gamey, and in standing on
his dignity. This is the attitude Of
CiLero, Czar Vance believes Ganey
can be checked in hin licnar.ess by sys.
ternatic and organized disturbance,
This is being put into effect, Charles
Snake M.P.P:, left on Friday for
the "Soo," mainly to send down to
this riding a band of rieters, Who
will be employed Ii annoying Ganey •
wherever he appears. The band reach-

• But there are other Liberals of
More weight in their homes and out-
side thanthose already mentioned
who openly declare' that there. is
only one thing to do to break Gam-
ey down, and that is for Stratton
to meet him.'Failing that, a power -
what view will be taaen by theeona ,
mission, but it is expected it will at'
east adopt Mereier's reconnuendae
tion.
' If d
the revision of the case shoul-
be favorable to Captain Dreyfusa he
will be restored to the army, no
j matter what protests may be. made.
„ but it is not expected that he will
assume active service. -•
