Mr. Brown of The GOJe newspaper who has long

against one another Upper Canada has 30 members
to elect: and in ~ constituencies we lind one Rciorner
ptted against Conservative; IN ten constituencies,
TWO ReiOrmcrs running against one another IN the ADJ

which two Tories expose themselves to defeat by con-
testing against one ReiOrmer seven heiormers go IN
nv scclsmstion; while the Tories not allowed to
more than three constituencies without contest

they have not done any extensive damage to the wheat
