amount of work on the platform in
various oampaigne he received the
nomination as candidate in East Rural
in the contest for the Ominous in 1887
and on Feb. 27tb of thee year he was

great many Conservatives displeased
with the Government, refused to act

Wingbam, went down before the doughty
media' fa 1896 with 159 against him and
in 1900 when the same two candidates
met the records ehowed Dr, MacDonald
still the winner by a majority of 140.
It ie a point worthy of mention that Dr.
MacDonald hae alwaye won and we
expect 1904 will 001 change the eplendid

In Parliament Dr. MacDonald won his
