omen to that of the contest for seats at the Wareham
Union. The fact is the stonemason, as a crap are such

power they thought would be glad at his election. Surely
they moat be aware that the same party rejoice in Its.
racer We =mot help calling it an incomprehensible
affair from the beginning to the end. The man who was
fit for the one office was surely able to meet the require-
ments of the other. Perhaps they feared too midi honour
would over-balance the gentleman. However, they have
" knocked down with one band and picked up with the
other, and I must be content to quota, "AU, well that
ends well."

seen and remembered by the -men. Their vote is

to swamp the property cumulative vote at will. Intend-
