under the care of a physician, but
found time the other day to express
himself concerning the proposed peace

consideration with the fact that
have never had any practice in being
sick and having to lie in bed, may &C.
count for my following statements, il
they appear to be out of harmony
with harmonious meeting.
"l'irst, there is no question, in my
opinion, OF the good intention of Mr.
Baker IN issuing this call, and the
fact that lie has issued it with hil
knowledge of the work of these lead
ers' is proof positive that they have
been working out of harmony, there

with all due respect for the Hon.
Geo. h. Chamberlain, who Is certain

criticise except his political faith.
"Woll, my opinion is that where 6
man gains the confidence of the voters
to the extent that he can influence
them to follow his leadership and then

into effect, goes into the enemy'i
camp and with his followers defeats
the party's nominees, that man ol

him privately, make an appropriate

this almost induces me to take an ex

There is no reason that they SHOULD

For fear that some one might taxi
