what they have done, and should get tire feeling of burgesses with re&pect to what policy is to be followed in future. It is neither wise, er in the best interests of all concerned, that electors should go to the poll in partial blindness. More especially at this time, when such engrossing questions need to be cautiously, carefully yet determinedly dealt with, should there be a thorough ventilation, and 7io elector should cast his vote in doubt.
