OTTAWA, ONT. March &-The most me-
moraoie canvass IN the history of the Do
minloh has been brought TO a close, the
last speech has been made, and to-day the
issue was decided at the polls. The marty
organs fred their last guns this morning
aud piled the party whip with vigor. The
toronto Empire saws: To-day the people
OF Canada are called upon to decide the
rate OF their beloved country as they have
never before been called upon. Day by
day. as the contest has progressed, the
people nave recognized more and more the
terrible meaning of the platform Of
the Reform leaders. In the eyes Of
every one unrestricted reciprocity must
nave rs its inevitable and dread conse-
4uence and end annexation to the United
States. That awful destiny. involving the
rum OF orr commercial aud material well
rare, as well as our political and social ex-
lstence, and dissOlving every tie of kin
drcd and affection that binds US 10 our
mother nation, now faces the electorate OF
the Dominion. Link by link the chain of
evidence against the great leaders has
been proved. and now the traitors who
would betray their country 10 an alien ma
tlon IN the VAIN hope of gaining power,
winch they are SO incapable Of holding IN
their sway, stand trembhnGly waiting to
hear the sweeping condemnation that it is
the duty OF every loyal citizen 10 pass
upon them.
The Globe SAYS: The Liberals have
fought this campaign, not only with
courage and enthusiasm, but with digni-
~ which has commended their cause tom
telhgent men. They now look with equa-
nimltv to the result Of to-days yoting.n
