If the current Rumor is to be credited or. Morris and a few of Hie most particularly disappointed friends Are still dissatisfied with the result of the Selkirk elec Tion and they profess to be very anxious to bring about a further investigation. One would have thought that the Issue of the recount would have convinced them that or. Smith was re turned to parliament by an unmistakable majority of votes but that is just whal displeases and disgusts or. Morris. He is not willing to accept the decision of the electors but even yet Hopes by raising quibbles of form that he May succeed in depriving the constituency of the Choice of its own representative. Most candidates even would be Content to accept the verdict of the elec tors ii Unflat ring to their vanity and Dis appointing to their greed for office. Or. Morris however would rather Dis fran Chise three parishes of the electoral division of Selkirk than accept the Fate which inevitably is Hia. It is impossible to find any other explanation of Isis con duct. It has now been proved by a re count of the ballots before a judge and in presence of the representatives of both candidates that or. Smith has been elected member for Selkirk. This fact being demonstrated the object of the elections in furnishing an expression of the will of the constituency has been met. It is surprising that an sex lieutenant Gover nor above All men should seek by re sorting to the quibbles of a Petti Fogger to neutralize the wishes of the electorate. If or. Morris could have had Bis the returning officer yielded to the pressure of his votes of the elector i of three parishes Jorette. St. Boniface and Headin Gly would have been excluded from the count simply because of a trifling on the part of the respective Deputy returning officers which happily is declared by the Law to be immaterial.
