Tun APPLE Oterwort.-Buyers of apples have been through this part of Huron the past few weeks and reports ate afloat that exceedingly high prices have been offered for choice fruit, En. quines fail to find the spot where the big price was promised. and it is yet unknown. Extra prices may have been tittered through keen conipetition. but it seems unlikely that buyers will pity tuore for fruit than the saute qual- ity can be boneht for In Montreal, and -the price mentioned is ahead of that quoted in that city for early October delivery. Next week several of the buyers start packing fall fruit. and early fruit was shipped from this town nearly two weeks since by Robert Elliott and others.

THE SIGNAL LIAR. Nearly three columns of the Sig- nal's editorial page is this week devoted to an attempt at defending its own course with reference to the West Huron election infamy and the alleged sworn declaration of James Farr. Every paragraph is a compound of positive falsehood and wilful evasion, which in the faCe Of the well known facts is an insult to the intelligence of its own readers. We propose to give here a few samples with the proof of our charge : LIE NO. 1. -That THE STAR has not published one line of the official evidence, hut "a cooked report as far (rom the facts as party rancour can place it". The reports in THE STAR were unusually full and com- plete, and as to fairness we chal- lenge a comparison with the official stenographic report, or with the re- ports -not official in any part - published in the Globe. LIE NO. 2. - That the Signal published the_official report of the evidence of .8,4s:TILiam Mktchell, the town clerk and a well known Con- servative, "who swore that he had arraiii„;ed with Farr the night before the election to vote for McLean," and that THE STAR did not let its readers know that any such evi- dence had been given. The Signal published only a part of WM. evidence, but even that did mit shiiw that any arrangement had been made. Here is the proof from the Signztl's columns : -q lie had told you he was going to vote's A leer MsLean. Q The night heroic ? A -Yes. 1.,) Had you asked liny questions ? NI he tohl me llie night before. 112. volunteered it ? A - -Yes. Thk .iprc:irrd almost identically ‘viird tor w ord in the THE STAR'S report. 1.IE No. 1. -That THE STAR did not tell that the Colborne witnesses had made up a purse for Major Beck tor lus attentions to them while in the city. In our ititille of Aug. appears the evidence of Joseph Thompson, Wm. Kerr and Thornas Cuthert that such a testi- monial was raised and that they contributed toward it. LIE No. 4. -That THE STAR did not print the admission of Robert Clark that he had made a written proposal in a previous election to sell his vote. In THE STAR of Aug. such a fact is shown in the re- port of Clark's evidence. LIE NO. 5. -That THE STAR did not publish the evidence of Roland Williams, that the ballot he marked had a white disc for McLean and a blue disc for Holmes. The evi- dence of this witness and that of two others was given in our report simply that they voted for McLean, but we give this statement as to colors now, and we ask the Signal to say positively that it does nig believe Mr. Wilhams knew how he voted. And we may add that Mr. Williams DID NOT sa y "that it was because of this peculiarity. that he remembered he voted for Mr. Mc- Lean. Bnt we quote further from this paragraph : "The Signal knows the witnenses ho wen, at. OtAntva as well as Trim STAR does, and it knows what their 'morn evidence wan better than THE STAR (Ines, and it has no hesitation in Fraying that thotigh many of the wit • net yen gave straightforward test 'non y there was as 'h er *Mon cn t he part of others as is inarallv found in an ordinarv court. and that in Raying a ciood deal " THE STAR has received a copy of the official report cince the com- mittee closed, therefore the Signal MTV Is $7 TOM -Mtl2LISII 41 11. ..ellaArtMr• - rittes not know any better than TSB STAR "What the sworn giet4h4v %yes." The assertion in the • lust part of this extract is a brageft and, insulting falsehood from ttl'e MAO who gave such evidence as appgars over the name of D. McOillicuckl,y ; but it is u notable back down of Ms 'statement a few weeks ago that these Colborne witnesses lied to Robert McLean, thon took a false declaration, and backed both up with perjured statements concocted tinder the coaching of Joseph Beck. We are told that "from time to time the Signal will ,publish from the official evidence. ' Will the Signal give at once the official re- port of D. McGillicuddy's evidence and then tell these Leeburn wit- nesses that they lied and evaded the facts ? These are not all the falsehoods made in the Signal's latest effort. but they are fair samples from Which the value of its defence canl, tti. Judged. Editorial Comment. B11.1. SYKES, of the Signal, has this week taken to wholesale lying. But the "game is up." • THE man from the Signal office who went down to Ottawa to "straighten this ballot business out in ten minutes" got straightened out himself so badly in five minutes that he has not dared to let his readers see his evidence. .11M that the paper on which the West Huron bal- lots was printed was so thin that it was difficult to tell when he tore off two at a time, is a severe comment on the dishonesty of the Govern- ment printer who was charging for using heavy, first-class paper. WAIT till you read in the Signal the evidence of Donald Cummings as to the fourteen bogus ballots, and that of D. McGillicuddy, the printer thereof, and the paper expert from Eddy's mills. Of course the Signal will give this evidence its first choice and the same prominence as Jim Farr 's unattested and unsigned state- _ . ment. MN. MCGILLICHDOV swore in ef- fect that he knew little or nothing about the doings in the Signal office during the election, hut when cross- examined lie knew a little more. And this is the man who attempts- • to holster up and defend political crime, deception and fraud, in which he himself is one of the principals. A nice man, surely, to attempt to besmirch the character of the forty odd Leeburn electors by charging them with perjury' ! A READER of the CI inton NeweEra tells THE STAR that Mr. Holmes in 0 conversation denied that the Signal accused the Colborne witnesses of lying and perjury, and says this is simply a yarn of THE STAR'S. Our informant has now seen the Signal for himself and knows where to place the falsehood. The New Era published an editorial from the Sig- nal before -why does it not publish the one headed "The Leehurn Case" in the Signal of August ard ? THE Signal says that when any- one "turned up at Ottawa and de- sired to he examined, every obstacle 45.35 thrown in the 14 their ex- amination by the gentlemen who were running the investigation for the Tories." The only man who "turned up at Ottawa arid desired to hti examined" was D. McGilli- cuddy, who went doyvn uncalled for on his harbor contract business, and there declared he was going to get on the list of witnesses so hc could get his mileage ank.1 expenses to pay for the trip. And the Tories would have been fools to object to his evi- dence -it was better for the prose- cution than they could have possibly imagined. THE Signal finds fault w ith some- body hetause "Mr. R . C. Hays, a witness, was allowed to sit in the ornmittee room during the progress of the trial, although a Liberal, who had not been stihrsienaed, was asked to withdraw." Mr. Hays, as a bar- rister, V. aN allowed to remain in (onformity w ith a IA ell known rule, as stated by Sir Louis Davies, un- der ys Inch barristers are not exclud- ed from trials, ,ind besides tits evi- dence was not on the same point as other witnesses. "The Liberal i.vho had not been subpoenaed" had, as v2as well know n to the committee, loaded up Senator Mills vvith certain alleged "evidence" he could give in the matter, .ind was very properly excluded, when it was seen that he had not sufficient sense of decency to retire w ith the other witnesses.
