Often the Case.

Someone has said; "The majority are
always wrong" We believe this TO be
the ease on the oath question before the
convention, and it will be difficult matter
to tell just what swayed the majority,
whether the fiery speech OF Ex-Governor
Cameron, which appealed to mans pas
siOns, or whether the result was the cul-
mination of deep sober, serious thought
on the part of each individual member.
The question s.settled, however, and it
will remain for future generations to
find out the right, but without prejudice
to any one our own opinion still is that
the majority are wrong. We are rather
slow getting in band wagons.-Cape
