In compliance with a regalia from the editor of the paper, Mr. Campbell has given us the fottomig iaspressioss carding the coevession and its work :— It was our privilege to &Mad the ems - volition of tenspermos workers held a Tomtit* lea week by the Ontario Bratsk and we would hke to remrd • few of our impreeeions received there.

Never before have we men or beard of soak numbers of business me leaving their business, and giving time and thought to help to work out the dto tails of this temperance question Surely this atestion is to the front in this pro - vim at least. The aonvoution was instind with great unanimity of thought.

AT Th4I Young Ken's Liberal conven- tion held at Torouto last week, Huron although it did not send the largest delegation, was well represented on the p!stform, five of her delegstes having active work on the committees. Huron was represented on the platform by If. n ing, Clinton; R. II. Collins, Exeter ; A. dy, Goderich. D. R. Cameron, of Luck - now, who is of strong Huron leanings, also occupied a conspicuous place in the discussioes of the various queetious, and was the principal speaker at the great Wednesday evening mites -meeting.

The editor of the Star has very freely applied ths epithet "hypocrite" ha the editor of tie journal, but there is a sort of "Good Lord, good Devd" straddle about the Star on this question asat is suggestive of lack of spine, if not auk of principle. That has been the eummon talk during the past week.

Kali, the sellinipoitatit member from St. Andrews ward. This man is well known as a blowhard and • falsifier, siel it is hardly worth my while to reply to him, so low doer he stand in public estimation. However et en • skunk such as he is can raise • bad *tench in any ueighborhood, and the best way to do after the little at mai has tamed the nuisance, is to fumigate the surround- ings. To this end I will proceed to state the facts of my connection with work for the school board far years back, years before the gabby little native of St. Gileii illuminated the board with his presence or paralysed it with his florid cockney oratory. For the put five years I have done nearly all the work required by the board, and have always charged reasonably and done the work satis- factorily. In nearly every instance the work has esise secured by my being the lowest tenderer. There have been one or two occasions when I received the work without tender, but 011 them cm- casicus no other ruechamc was available, and the work was imperatively needed. One of these occasime was last "Trine when H. W. Ball came to use and re- quested me to put up waveless! ad- ditional buildings to the school property. I did the work, and eLen it was done met Ball, and said that the chairman of the oontingent committee would not give an order for payment until the board met, and that I would like to have the money, as I had been at the expense cf id that patronizing and lordly air peouliar to kiss at times, sod mid : "The same, sheukl be peel as soon as the work wee done. Mechanics had no right W Do kept waiting for their money when the work was finishad, &c." Ho then wrote oet an order for the amount, (although he was neith,er clisirman of the board nor of the contirgrait cunintittee), and instructed am to have it cashed. I teak - ed the order, because I winded the money, but I couldn't hap thinking that H. W. Ball took a great &al of aim hur- gard to the job at which this man Ball cavilled last meeting, I need ouly soy that last year I was instructed by the board to ga lumber for set+ of Mak- boards for Me town eatools. There was nu suitable kiln -dried lumber in town, and 1 had to order it from Ruchanati, Lawson & Kobinson's planing mill This year Mr, Buchanan informed the contin- gent committee thst the lumber was ready, and it had better be secured at once or it would be placed on sale. I was then instructed tn get the limber and beteg it to the achoola until the board met. At that time I was working at Mr. Seager's residenoe, and I at ogee proceeded to the school, plastid the lumber there, and left toy tools so that I could go us with the work after the board gave final instructions and with as little ielay as piasible. Between the time of delivering the lumber and beginning work at the contra school I was =iie use some of the tool:km:1 was so employ- ed until the 7th of Aug. at which tone I began the work et the whoa. Thia wee four days after the @chord board ....a which was held on the 3rd of Amt. said at the last meeting that I went to work before the board met. This is another of his lies, as I have already shown, and caretaker McDougall proved it to las false at the meeting in question. I did not start to work 041 the black- board' uutil sinne days after the board met at that time. While I was working on the blackboards it was intimated to mai that work ens required on the central school roof, and that as my tools were there 1 might as well complete the re- pairs. I meet to Ball and salted him shout it. He said he ma willint that I should do the work if the other asbees of the °nominee were agreeable. I I went to Mr. Morton and the ehainnan and asked them asout it. The chairman of the committee asked Bell about the matter, and that pereon again ettorelned I a desire that I should go on with the work. I did so, and sent in my account at the last meeting.
