Among other subjects to be discussed is the
question of attempting to unseat certain mem
bers-elect on charges of unlawful practices dur
ing the elections If the Liberals find that they
can obtain good working majority by unseat-
ing few Tories and Parnellites, charges of
intimidation bribery, etc, will be made in
eral cases. and will be vigorously pushed. If,
on the other hand. the Liberals find that they
have a sufficient majority, but little will proba-
bly, be heard Of these charges.
