Abstract
It is 36 years and more since I made my first appearance in the South Riding of Ontario County as a politician, and 29 years and a few months since I ceased to be the member for the Riding.I don't see to-day many of the old faces that I used to see at political meetings during that time.I seem to have survived most of my old South On- tario friends, and of my opponents too; and, though some remain, most of these appear to have left the field of active politics to a younger generation.When I made my first appearance in the Riding I do not know that there were a dozen persons in the Riding who knew me per- sonally, but the electors were made aware that I had the confidence of the great Reform leader, Mr. Brown, and other prominent Reformers of that time, and that they desired to have me in Parliament.I dis- cussed at public meetings in the Riding, the questions of the day; and, when the election came on I had the honor of being selected and nom- inated as the Reform candidate, wLh the concurrence of the other as- pirants for that honor.'consequence being made.At my second election, which took place in August, 1858, the electors gave me a majority of 491 ; at the third, in July, 1861, a majority of 669 ; at the fourth, in September, 1863, a majority of 479 ; and at the fifth election, in 1864, I was returned by acclamation.Afterwards, the office of Vice-Chancellor becoming vacant, and being offered to me, I acceafce^-it,.-villi the concurrence of my colleagues.My political connection with South Ontario then ceased.I thought that my political life, too, had come to an end.But this was not to be.After I had been seven years on the Bench, Mr. Blake resigned his Premiership, and I found that he and his colleagues desired me to take his place.Mr. Brown also urged it ; Senator McMaster

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
