London Jan. III sunday has given
"a welcome respite From the strenuous
work. of me election strife and IN
opportunity Tor calm reflection over
tho prospects oi both PARTIES striving
for control Of THE government.
The greatest animation prevailed

the liberal government with % good
working majority. Many of the un-
ionists. however. are less respondent.
