This per capita arrangement, which sui ted the pockets of those who are supported by ly was over-persuaded bv the office-holders, and came with them. This was a position which had not two sides, the Candidate could pot come in two boats; there was no such a thing as non-committalism, and for once he ?vascompelled to define himself. CC-TCapt.
