MR. PROEEIT

We perceive going the rounds of the news
papers numerous extracts from Mr.. Piotiils ad-
mirable speech indicating the G the corporars
guard" from the malignant aspersions OF the
Manifesto Wings. Mr.. Profit contributed as
much to the triumphant victory Of the Wings in
1910, as any individual member Of the party,
and his speeches are therefore received and read
by the people with the utmost confidence in til
truth Of his statements and the righteousness of
and living colors the absurd and suicidal policy
Of g the Manifesto Wings" by which they lost
the fruits of the victory, broke the great Wing
party into fragments, and brought upon it an in
glorious defeat In almost every State in which
an election has been held since the promulga-
ton of that seli-immolating document to the
despotc and Infatuated spirit Of party.

gress, sometimes called The " Manifesto" Caucus
