Hereupon it appears that Mr. WIRE abandoned his

Sorely thi se disgraceful scenes, too common, we
her, epos the ocean m of elections, ought in some
way to be checked. Constituencies are soma oned
together dehisces,. ly, as the returning officer lova-
ifably tile them, to make choice of the moot fit and
peeper person to serve as their representative in Par-
Lenient. Is this the way in which the duty is
ful-
ailed? Surely if it be, there must be something
thoroughly aid radically wrong in the system under
which the elections are conducted.
We fuss frost the riotous and disorderly scenes of
thiscontest to other face connected with it. Mr.

the day that it occurred.
