ELECTION AEBANO=7.NTS.

Betel ring to the importance of due preparation for the
new arrangements, the Daily News remarks that many
an election within the last few years could be named in
which the liberal cause has been lost because the leaders
would not invoke the independent exertion., of the
electors, who would have been eager and able to carry
their own man. Sometimes the joint return for a liberal
and a tory is the object of a comfortable arrangement,
between the leaders of the two parties, who profess a
desire not to disturb the constituency, and it is for the
electors themselves to thwart such an arrangement. The
essential element of success is the selection of a thoroughly
good candidate, genuinely liberal, whose abilities are
respected, and whose character is trusted ; and the elec-
tors themselves should see that the return of such a man
is really their own business, if they wish to aid in pro-
curing the parliamentary measures they desire. To
effect this object a united organisation is indispensable.
