Becondly, the statement is made! that "a clause in the Legislation Comâ€" mitteo‘s report censuriog the Dominâ€" ion Government for not enacting a proâ€" hibitory law evoked a very hot «is cussion and was finally carried." . Now what are the facts? We give part of that clause verbatim: "This mecting desires to express its strong dissatisâ€" faction at the failure of the Governâ€" ment to take any stops to give effect to the will of the people as expressed at the polls,." The word «‘censuro" does not occur: but ‘dissatisfaction" is oxâ€" pressed,not because the Government has Lfld to enact a prohibitory, law, but BECAUSE TH®E YOICR OÂ¥ THE PROPLE lw BEEN TOTALLY fGwor®n.

The fact is that many who were in time past supporters of the present Government, declared that they had been deluded long enough and were now ready to break with a party that will play fast and loose with the truth. On the other hand there were scores and scores who were highly gratified. Never was a convention more unanimâ€" ous from beginning to end. Never was a convention more free from party politics.
