ole have decided, by majority al.
-g Unprecedented in the history OF our
rgotry, that they will have change OF
rp and a change Of measures. Emer-
~g as we now are from the depth ofthat

niously aud surely in the steps which we
M take towards our return to the prln-
Mes essential to our prosperity ana

recent elections have given US, we cam
doubt that thorough reform IN the
leral Government, throughout all its
Indications will take place, and TO such
