It is no wonder, therefore, that tho combiner efforts of the two have had the effect which they naturally and necessarily must have had. The effect is lea.H seen among people of con- si-rvative ttiu'eucies, btcausa they have less faith in Sir Richard Curt Wright'* asscrtipnB, but the difficulty Comes that he is believed by the v men of his own party, and, as soon as he was believed by them they IC&VP '.he country as quickly as they can.
