JOHN A.’S NEW MARIONETTES.
THE BEST OF FRIENDS MUST PART
To the hard times Sir John and his Party were primarily indebted for their present good fortune, but (contrary to the hopes of the innocents who had implicitly accepted the anti-election promises of the N. P. advocates) prosperity did not immediately return. The persistency with which the depression continued to “hang on” was a source of much annoyance to the Government, as it was the constant theme of ridicule in the Reform press.
