Nova Scotia Tired of Confederation.

AAto.HbA topeCtll JuSU before Jhe last
local legislature dissolved Il resolution
moved by the premier was passed, which
set fQSth the disadvantages Nova Scotia
was laboring under through confeClerat ton.
The government signfed their intention OF
going to the country for the decision Of the
people on this issue. The election came Off
and the result has astonished the whole
dominion. The cry OF repeal fairly swept
the province. Out OF the thirty-eight
seats the Repealers have obtained thirty
one sure and perhaps more. The cause OF
the result is business depression and
consequent desire OF change, the SUI
peiior organization OF the Repealers and the
short time in which their opponents
The Confederate organ, thinks the result is
due to the fact that the government Dos
Sessed an enormous corruption fund, which
they used literally and effectively. In adj
dltion they had very great advantage Of
being well prepared for contest, while the
opposition was taken by surprise The
Repeal organ maintains that the result is
an overwhelming declaration that the
province, after nineteen years OF union,
has found confederate bitter disap.
pointment. There is a general belief that
ii Nova Scotia secelles it will be but to an
rex herself to the United States.
