He has won a Libet'al Riding, one that has in tithes past given it majority away up in the hundreds and having gained it he can retain his hold.

His personal integrity was assailed in a most determined manner and matters foreign' to the issues of the day introduced into the campaign. But the -result is a complete vindica- tion of Harry Eilher. But what was, if possible, worse still was the attempt on the part of M. Y. McLean and his supporters to arouse sectarianism, In Harry Either the South Riding .has a representative who will reflect credit upon it and whether in debates in the House or the more practical work in committees his influence will he felt.
