Deductions.

'ī' i, .n-os of-the oleetions furni6h n ;ii iv f>f ilati% fvoni whieii one c;iu obt:iin answors to several importiiut :<• ;] quostioiis. Tlu- tirst thiug ranl bost, is that ihe gieat m«ss of { « ' Ln ;;oble roters are too in-ii-U'-i nt and patriotie to eare for p !*:;• ■>! prejndices where the i of the eoimtrV are ln-j vti}v.'.l. The members of flio old Be-;

form party eahie out rcry strongly !or tbe ticket pledged to preserve intaot oui' prO!-eht ihstitutions. It is aot strmigo'that men : wbo senured this eonstitotiou witli so mueh culty sliould be rcitdy to sustain it { 'at the ballot box. Still it is a sarprfso to mony wlio aro faooiliar with den - sity of prejudices in certain sections of the old party, tliat go .few followed the lead to ruin all because ihe.y could not rule all. Tliere lias been a good deal of tliis unlioly spirit abroad in the lan'd. Political extremists tA'e more concerned to desux,v iLe eii6Hjy . tlian to suceeed theniselves. In counting the ballots aboat half of *thoBe who voted for I j Wateihouse voted for the rest of tbe ; Liberal tickets. It roay reasonably be sopposed that these did nōt be-1 long to the Bash-Wilcōx partv, none of whoin woukl over vote for so respectable a person. Tboy were probably tbe sore-heads lead by Br. Ro gerH. They were nearly an limK<red nnd fifty in number. Aboat an equai number followed the Advertiser's ,advice aud voted for the remain{|er of : the N. Reform ticket. The Liberals gained something over a hundred votes from Reform ranks and weie still an average' two hundred aml twenty Votes Jōchind. Tbis makes the Liberal strength maeh less than any one had estimated it be'fore tlie election. Five -hu»dred is about nuuibei-s of native followers of tho Liberal party who are qualified to vote for nobles. The»e are j)ōt enough of them, to eleet a ticket except by allianee with some plement o"f iho foreign population. The L:beral paety must therefore give up of controlling the legislatvu*e 'till their predictions are fulfilled, and a considerable namber of the whites are driven out by business depression a»d Asiatic compitition. With eitlie r of the extreme parties in power, eueh a thing might occur; but the National Eeform party steps in to meet that danger, It is their special purpose and object to protect the independent wage earner and a conditiofi of conimercial prosperity that will afford work and chances for all.
