Few mon took a mere lively interest in public affairs than he did and fower still were preparod to make such sacrifices of time and conven ience for the vindication of principles to which he attached importanen.. He was st mastor in politico-economic science, and, be ing a graceful writer and fluent speaker, he CONFECTIONERY did much to stem the growing tendency to
