CANADA's ELECTION,
Cry Of French DONNA tion Detracts From
Laurfer's success-Defeat OF Former Lead

srs Means New BLOOD for the Con serva tive ..
MONTREAL. Nov 2t.--The overwhelming ma
,ority given to Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the recent
elections by his French compatrots IL produc-
ing the anticipated effect. The cry OF French
domination is ringing in the Tory press in all it's
variations. and not few OF those who have
been elected as Liberals among the English Ca
Dadians are considering whether they should
not take up an independent. OF at least a walt
ing attitude. until the situation il more clearly
defined. Sir Wi'r!d himself docs not regard
his position with entire eauanimity and would
willingly dispense with some Of his French ma =
iorlty In Quebec 4 lie could have even the "a me
moderate majority he had In Ontario In the last
Parliament. The election. instead OF strength
ening him. has sens bly, weakened his position.
and It's generally fclt that unless something
unexpected happens his Government can hardly
hold ont beyond two sessions.
The oblteration Of the old Tory leaders Eng
lsh and French. will prove in the end a great
advantage 10 the Conservative party. It.tarts
IN the new Parliament hampered by none Of the
antecedents OF the fallen leaders. and II those
who come TO the front 10 take their places have
the sense TO consider the interests Of Canada
before those OF any other country they can
easily recover the ground they lost under their
late chiefs
Although the excitement OF the contest has
not vet passed off there are already signs thar
the outcome OF the present situation, and that
Il will require OF tho Government more alter
