Slight gastric troubles, during an epi-

fires of new political agitation of a
more sweeping character than any we
have yet had"
The Haldimand Advocate, in referring
to the resolution passed by the Liberals
recently in South Norfolk advocating
political union with the United States,
says: "Speed the day. The Irish Ca
madam, one of the most influential or
gans of the Irish party in Canada, says:
s'Where or how this hankering after n
nexation, becoming more marked from
week to week, is going to end, it is diff
cult to say, but that the annexation fever
is spreading cannot be denied except by
wrench of conscience
All these papers are journals of infu-
ence and standing, and year ago they
would have referred to the annexation
sentiment only in terms of depreciation.
If they do not encourage it now they at
least tolerate it, which indicates re-
markable change of feeling on the part
of their constituents. OF course the
number of Canadians who would today
vote for annexation is small as compared
with the whole population. But it is
large enough to dare to begin an open
agitation, and therefore cannot be deemed
an insignificant fraction.
