A largo, reputation of Christen urrh North electors waited on tht* lU'v. L. M. Isitt yesterday with a request that he should outline' iius views on political matters. Mr Lsitt said he had had many arguments with Mr Taylor on politics] matters, but their views on important matters in politics were similar. The speaker indicated that he opposed the further .s;ile of Crown lands, and added that he wanted it distinctly understood that he would onlygo to the House as one who was free from any compact with any Government or party. He would go there to listen to the "legislative proposals brought forward and vote upon them as his mind directed and his conscience dictated. " There's even more dishonesty in politics than there used to be," said the pefifiimißi. " Nowadays I figure that wo don't get more than 70 per cent, of tho votes we pay for." Quick relief from a. imjbt, dry cm;?h is obtained by the use of ztymole Trokeys. An excellent thing after Rutting or talking to prevent hoarseness.—fJAd.pt.}
