ALLEGED CAUSE OF MR. BROWN’S RETIREMENT.
(Special to the Daily Witness.)
OTTAWA, 20th.—Brown’s retirement is understood to be in consequence of a disagreement with his colleagues on the proper course to be pursued in reference to Reciprocity. Mr. Brown is opposed to all his colleagues, and he chose retirement rather than to assume the responsibility of adopting their views. There was no other disagreement. Brown will cordially support the government on confederation and general policy.
