dependents is the right one for the good of the country Mr Kings Committee Rooms in Newmarket were soon crowded after the close of the polls and when it became apparent that Mr King was defeated Mr W

also present could only thank those who had so loyally stood with him throughout the contest and ho had made man warm friends He could only urge them to maintain prin ciples of Liberalism and continue to fight for thorn on every luuity as right is sure lo succeed in the end The Rooms contin ued to bo crowded till after Ion oclock wailing for the returns throughout Dominion The Union Committee Rooms
