an antiLiberal i i I i f This home rule struggle is indeed one between the masses I tf k k and the classes and in h 1 the masses are laboring under some j 4 circumstances which are threatening J l their success The classes re wealthy I while the masses are not and tba t I candidates tof the masses when I compared with the candidat s j of the classes are poor and cannot sot so-t well sustain the expnses attending en I I r election campaign The force of tins I will be better understood when it is remembered 1 11 1 membered that the candidate for office I J in England has to bear the expense of

such services es well astor I r I the services of the men who utterid at t the polls or at the hustings in tbln terest of the candidate to canvass for I himand get his votersto attend I g All jch
