Later it was suitably reconstructed for publication in the Canadian Club Magazine "The Maple Leaf" of August, 1923. Edited to conform to HSO space requirements. A sequel could be considered in pamphlet #18 "Bytown Election of 1841". This reprinting is done with the kind permission of the Canadian Clubs of Canada. November 1985.
