Poor little Duncan McRae and Henry Douse did not prevent the election of Mr, Martin after all their trouble hawking Davies’ lying telegram from poll to poll. We shall know how to treat these tramps in future.

David Laird and John F, Robertson will now be able to guage the extent of their in- fluence in Belfast, We venture to assert that if these gentlemen had remained at home Mr, MeMillan would have made a better show,
