They strongly appealed to their hearers to vote confidence in the government by giving the motion the six-months’ hoist. This was done, but overone-third of the votes cast were in favor of the resolution, and a number of those present asked to be excused from voting at all. The debate continued until half-past eleven. The movers of the resolution express themeelves as satisfied with the vote, as it shows that a large section of the liberal party is composed of inde- pendent voters who are not afraid to express their dissent from actions not in pying the attention of the court the past two days, war finished yesterday.
