wcro powerful in this district prior to the
abolition OF tho late District Government are
used against the abolition Of suffrage. The
natural reason for tie opposition OF these per-
Sons is tha belief and hope that, in tho event Of
the restoration Of suffrage, tho recent dynasty
might perhaps be reaunel to power.
Tue basis Of tho remaining opposition
is Of 4 legal character. The opponents of the
