There is nothing I can say"that will enable you to know more of me th«n you do now as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all oi you. As to •what is to be done row. I say let vis. as far as possible, manage our own affairß. Surely wt- who km w *nd arc int>rested, can do so bet'- r than those who neitl e> know nor care, and whose interests are often opposi d to ours. If you fee fi> to elect hip, my conduct will be tbe same in the fuiure as it has been in the pact—an endeavour, as far as possible, to g"t unity of action among our Members; to r. dnce wasteful expenditure ; to put power into the handß of the people, nor. to ("eptive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them.
