resemble in intensity and vigour those hard fought
contests between Lord Ebring.on

speech, said he had many years since become a con-
vert t the ballot, end ho had felt his conviction

protection for the honest voter. Mr. Price con-
tended that so far from the ballot being un-Eng-
lish, it was essentially an English institution.

present in the field are General Codringt ar and Mr.
Montague Chambers, Q.C., the late members, both
of whom have issued addresses offering themselves
for re-election. A ['placard has, however, appeared
requesting the electors not to promise their votes,
as a " thoroughly Liberal" caudidateiwill shortly
solicit their suffrages. Yesterday, Me, M. Cham-
bers was engaged in an active personal canvass of

were, Overend, 2,200; Roebu'lc, 1,800 ; Hadfield,
1,400. As there are not less than 6,800 vo' era the

the country to be deeply indebted. The coittest
promises to be a very severe one.
