This, in itself, is sufficient indication of the undemocratic policy of the* Alliance, in attotppting to force its* opinions over Jmnk heads of the peoplgf. As the jSJirfMehureh “Press” sail iri a recanfroußtorial, “There iw no Sanger t-lnft #3^jc^^^d^ t by ance muj jfe by porters si frepresentative _^viovernment.” I Jr .
