Fur nearly three years the editor
of 'the Tintm has been a political pemaite
of the Ottawa Government, a leech, a
partizan vampire, a feeder at the public
crib. His sheet, although devoid of any
infioonce in respectable circles, has been
studded with fat Government advertise-
ments, Fnd as no return could be looked
for from the limited circulation of the
Times, a gcsidpro quo is rendered weekly
by the editor in elm insertion of tirades
of abuse of Blake, Mackenzie and other
members of the Reform party, and ful-
some laudation of such pinks of pro-
priety, temperance exemplars, and
Christian statesmen as Sir John A. Mac-
donald, Tupper, Langevin, Rykert,
Bouillon, Hawkins, and others of that

BROUGHT TO BOOK.
Tan editor of the Stratford Times, is
wild with rage because we ezpose3 his
ignorance of the facts in oonnection with
the investigation into the conduct of
J udge Squier, and he rants furiously
in consequence. He has been hit on
the raw, and he writhes and wriggles
accordingly. Last week, he raved at
Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, and amongst
other pieces of blackguardum penned
.the following :
It is true that the good work which
Mackenzie did occasionally exhibits it-
self, and just now in the neighboring
town of Goderich one of that hon.
kentleman's pets is creating a sensation.
bhortly before the historical fatal "17th
of mbar," Mackenzie appointed to
the P of Huron, a erteature by
the ng16M of Squier—a man who had few
41.
i na foe the office, legal or
•His principal Maims to the
office were that he was • rabid Grit, and
therefore fit to do any dirty work that
the Grits required of him. . . . . Un-
der the Grit regime no remedy could be
had. Squier wase Grit : therefore was
he nut one of the elect 1—the anointed,
so to speak
The above is a fair sample of half a col-
umn of Billingsgate which this beauty -
spot on the Conservative body politi c
dripped out as phylum for his readers
in the article in question, and although
it might be nourishmenttotheintellectof
the average subscriber of the Stratford
Tines, it certainly is not edifying to per-
sons possessed of the semblance of intel-
ligence. The fact that a journal that
publishes such varbage as the above can
. find a field for its enterprise in the coun-
ty of Perth, is a sad reflection on the in-
telligence of the inhabitants.
In reply to the Times' tirade against
the Grit party and Mackenzie, we have
this to say, that Mr. Squier was not ap-
pointed judge by the Reform Govern-
ment until a petition signed by the bar
of the County, asking that such appoint-
ment should be made, had been sent in.
True, the first petition only aimed at the
appointment of Mr. Squier to the ju-
nior judgeship, but surely if that gentle-
man was the monster which the Times
man would have us believe, he must
have been unfit for that position, and the
Tory lawyers who advocated his cause
must have been guilty of as great an in
discretion as were their Grit allies. AS
to the reflections on Judge Squier's abili-
:y and legal qualifications, which
the editor of the Times throws out, it is
not necessary for us to refute them;
for during the present controversy, our faith on the indications which will
be shown in the contests which may be
held in Ontario between the present time
and that date.

EAST NORTHUMBERLAND RLEO
TION.
The recent election in Bast" Northum-
berland has thrown a bomb under the
Government, and the friends of the
Party in power are not a little aurpriaed
at the result. The organs are endeavor-
ing to argue down the effect of the re-
action, but be their arguments never so
well turned, the bald fact that a doubt-
ful constituency, of Conservative lean-
ings, has been wrested from the Govern-
ment, remains intact, and conclusively
proves that a strong revulsion of feeling
has occurred in that riding since the con-
test in 1878. It is really amusing to
listen to the efforts of the Tory press to
draw a herring across the scent in this
instance, while it is a matter of congratu-
lation that every effort so. far has been out thl.

tion in 1883, and for our part we will pin
not even the petitioners or their counsel
have advanced any insinuation to that
effect. Certain it is that Mr. Squier was
a brilliant student, and a comparatively
successful lawyer previous to his appoint-
ment, and those who knew him in years
past will piece little confidence in the
vain babblinks of the Times. The
charges, if any. pending against Judge
Squier are those of drunkenness only,
and on those alone will the report of
Commiesiuner Irving be based. The
uthee charges were not pressed, because,
it is to be assumed, they could not be
established. On the question of drunk-
enness there was no plea of guilty
entered by the Judge's counsel,—there
was no "throwing up the sponge," as
stated in the Times article. The evidence
given was considered as fairly representa-
tive of the grievance complained of,
and the petitioners as well as the
Judge were willing to let their
case stand or fall by it. The mat-
ter is at present rtsb ),ufia, and the
Time man makes another exhibition of
hie ignorance as well as malignity in his
abusive and untruthful article. We give
another extract from the new which
will excite the risibles of all intelligent
readers :

ANOTHER VICTORY.
The Liberals Win Carleton.
The Syndicate iargala Agala t'eadeeaed.
Some six weeks ago Mr. Connell, who
represented Carleton, N. B., in the
House of Commons, died suddenly at
Ottawa, and a new election was called for
Wednesday, March 30th. Mr. C. was a
strong Conservative, and it was thought
that hie brother, who received the Tory
nomination to succeed him in represent-
ing the constituency, would lie elected.
The Liberal candidate, Mr. Irving, came
out boldly against the Ottawa Govern-
ment, and assailed the Syndicate con-
tract in the strongest terms. The con-
test resolved itself into a square fight on
the merits of the present Administration,
and Mr. Irvine has been returned by the
snug majority 0147. The Conservative
majority at the last general election was
319. This grand victory, coming upon
the heels of the glorious result in East
Northumberland, has created great en-
thusiasm in the Liberal ranks, and con-
sternation amongst the Conservatives.
