• A VOICE FROM OLD HURON.
The following letter appeared ie Monday's
Globe ;--• • •
Fessow-CouNeuemasza—The time has again
returned when we can record our verdict at
the polle. Shall we sustain John A.'s Govern-
ment or not, or shall we vote for Alt. Blake
and his party ? Mr. Bleke deserves one nnit-
ed support in fearlessly advocating the rights
of ins oppressed countrymen, when the slan-
ders of the Mail as clique and mouthpiece of
.the Tory faction insulted the Irish race when-
ever it could stab in the dark.
Look te the Tory party in the Imperial •
Parliament for assemple of njustice the most
tyrannical that ever disgraced civilization,
compared with the liberal measures of the
GlIadstorre Government, which 'has in contem-
plation a bill to wipe out £50,000,000 sterling
arrears of rent from the oppressed people of
Ireland. -
History repeats a black catalogue against
Tory rule at home and abroad. Our vast
empire is bartered away for a mess of pottage
to a few hungry speculators, who are now sel-
ling it in large blocks to English capitalist's.
God save no front another Ireland in the great
north-west. The name of landlord shouhl
thrill every Irishmana yes, and every 8eoteh-
man too. - •

DEAR 81'4—The tasticci of the Tory leaders

put the country to the expense of an -election
over one year before the proper time, thereby
strangling their pet youth at the age pf four
years, so hideous was it becoming, and now
they attempt to refineitate it on the head; of
the gerrymandering act. ,
In -a word, the natiOnal policy dexploded,
run itself out in four years,. The; only result
being thb making millionaires of a few manu-
ficturiits at the expense of the consumers.

a paLsce in, England in. which to retire.

times and' raise depressions bears a falsehood
on the face of It, else, why did depression and
hard times ever enter the United, Statea isa

The great questions in the preseht issue to ,

. FOR ONTARIO'S BENEFIT.
To the Editor cif the Clinton Hew Era.
iliin,—Efa7ing attended the political meet-
ting•ra the town hall here, I was ne little sur-
prised to hear Mr. Porterlopparently endorse
the policyofSir John A.' Macdonald, on the
Boundary- question,. who says that "it is not
worth one cent to Ontai•ioVr How can the
statement be true ?Only .8 years ago thd,
,surplus that was Mile hands of the Ontario
Reform Government wae given to assist new
railways and divided among municipalities,
the 'county.'of Huron coming in for a jar&
grant. Did net our own town of Clinton get
the-sam.of $9,833.0048 part of that surPlna?
which surplus was partly derived from the
Crown•Timber limits. •'
In, the territory under dies:mite, Which
would make about 500 townships as largo as.

Mitsishe should, the revenuederived from the

.worth one cent to Ontario ?most assuredly it
is, and a great deal more. Hew sonic of my
fellow ratepayers can swallow such arrant

gave
utterance to, passes nay • comprehension,. and
if they 'support the conservative -candidate it
is just is much assto say " Ontario may -be
robbed of her territory, I dont Care a conti-
nentaL" I hope, Mr. Editor, that the elect-
ors of Huron will show their intelligence and
honesty next Tuesday, by casting :their votes
for the Reform eandida.te,, ensi. also indicate
that they are bound to stand by Obtario in
defence of her .righte. Thanking you, Mr.

hints, I remain, yours '

THAT GRANGE,
To tied Editor of Clinton New Era:
SIR,—I see bY your last issue that a rate-
payer who pays his taxes, wants you or some „
of your readers to give him information about
a "Grange store,", isa connectioniwith emanate
faotnring busibese of this town, kept for the
purpose of supplying the hands employed
there with goods. Pernait me to inform
ratepayer that no such store ever did, do now,
or ever will, exist, The goods bought were
not for retailing, but for -private use, -and in
'houses on which the •taxes have not been re-
funded. The facts are tbese, the manufac-
turer referred to, in travelling to one of our
Canadian cities, met with an, old and pard
ticular friend, engaged in the wholesale gro-
cery trade. In the course of -conversation,
the merchant offered to supply his fellow -
traveller with goods. After an. interval of •
some weeks, the proprietor of this imaginary
store told , a *person, whose 'privilege it is
to purchase goods at all times, at wholesale
prices, of the offer made him, an order wait
sent, end goods received, whiph, when equally
divided; amounted to the. enormous SUM of
.$42.00S each. Not one cent's worth has been
sold. Respectfully yours.
