CANADA's average temperature at
this season of the year has no effect on
the elevating tendency OF the political
mercury. The vigor and warmth of the
campaign may be measured by the fact
that the contending parties have raised
S2,OO, 900 to lubricate their respective
machines. Despite the tempting Doodle
inducements over the border, Ne

energies in the Lincoln lobby for $5 per

The apportionment bill reported to

districts OF reasonable geographical

have just cause for complaint'.if the bill is

The political complexion of the new
districts can be studied in the following
