en in conjunction with the Sb. Heraeinthe

Contrary to all.expeciation, the Ontario
Government has been Sustained by a great.
er majotity than it everhadbefore. Dur-
ing the last session its majority might be,
put-cloivn as eighteen, while the returns as
far as known to thepresent time promise
a. majority' Of twenty-four in the nett
House. For thia result two explanations
may beegiven,....- lk muethe remembered
--
that during the contest the Opposition en-
deavored by every amount to being forward
the National Policy, which served them in
such good stead in September last, as in
issue in the contest. The Dominion Cfabi,
net 'Ministers, Bite John Macdonald, Sir
Samuel Tilley and .Sir Charles Tupper,
took the stump, and Mr. Plurab made a.
general missionary tout throughout the
country, preaching the advantages of ham-
pered trade.. Goldwin Smith, also, with
more than initial inconsistency, threw aside.
