More- o'ver,if the.Redistribution Bill is examined l in the light of the census of 1881, it will a be found that the Government has acted throughout-upon the principle of equal- izing the representation, the-unit factor being 22,000, in sofa: as it can bensed without cutting villages in two or splitting up -townships- This, in short, is the principle of representation by population, and it has been enforced so strictly that while no Reform constituency has been disfranchised the sure seats of two of the stannchestysupporters of the Govern- ment, Mr. Plumb and Dr. Bergin, have been wiped out, and many other Minis- terialists have been hit as hard as any of their opponents. ,It is not neces- sary to quote a mass of figures to show that the equalizing policy has been pursued from one end of the Province to the other. Let every voter examine the position of his own county and he will nd that such has been the case.
