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- ed the upper portion of the riding t ' *ma nreakoae.ey naval, • 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. -• M.
