The success of this general plan is a vindication for the arm-chair critics who have been the butt * of the shallow sarcasm of some writ- ers.. They have pointed out the fol- ly of fighting the Boers on their chosen battle grounds, espacially in Natal, whence it is most difficult to penetrate the enemy's country, and have urged the invasion of the Free State as a sure means of relieving Kimberly and Mafeking, and indi- rectly of relieving Ladysmith .. by drawing off the Boers to the defense of their own territory. : The manner in which this general plan was carried out shows that pursue a ‘policy of” ‘obstruction with lots, wb tf ity Clerk. | ¢ TENDERS FOR WOOD. he fire station. - WILLIAM MCQUEEN, aiview' of ‘compelling the premier to abandon the’ position tie has ‘gained through a fraud ‘committed on’ the electors, and to‘appeal to the people at large.

He led them to believe that his attack would be delivered at the point where they expected and where they were prepared He made much of General French'’s.move- ments around Colesberg and pre- tended to wish to seize Norval's Pont as a point for his invading army to enter the Free State. He made a great show of reinforcing French, for this ostensible purpose. Yet all the time he was preparing to strike the blow at an entirely differ- ent point and when the time was ripe, he rushed his troops through De Ant to. the Modder river, made French withdraw from Colesberg with a great show of resistance, as- though he were being driven, and rushed him forward to the reaj point of attack, Thus the Boers were fooled into sending large re- pulating the el ! “4 policy of obstruction is the only way by which Mr. Whitney can secure justice for the people, and-he | should proceed on these lines, even if it takes him all sum- mer to accomplish the purpose de- sired.‘ Ten men can hold up tlie government and bring. it to time, But Mr. Whitney has more than 40 Supporters. ‘Let these men rise, éne after the other, and read word for: word’ the’ details of the: crimes as'‘outlined- in the reports of the election trials held since 1896.
