AN INSULT TO WERE!! LADIES
At the Domination proceadisgs in Seaforth on Mooday a statement
was made by Dr. A. H. Macklin, the Conservative candidate in Centre
Huron, that should not be allowed to go unchallenged.
Dr. Macklin stated that • few yards from his office in G dericb there
men, and
was a liquor shop and that it was a place frequented by
owing to 1t being frequented by women 41 was a worse place than and
barroom.
In making the above statement, 1)r. Macklin referred to the liquor
store competed by Mr W W Sault•, a welh-behaved and respected
citizen of Goderich, and who conducts a place of business that is a credit
to any community.
Have the ladies of Goderich become so depraved in the eyes of Dr.
Macklin that be considers it worth his while giving the information to
a public nteetmg.
Has Dr. Macklin nothing else to do but tet on his door -step and
keep tab on the number of ladies that go in and out the different places
of business In his neighborhood.
The ladies of Goderich are not a depraved lot. They ■re the finest
in the land, and when Dr. Macklin made the discreditable statement be
did at Seaforth on Monday he cast a base slur upon the (air citizens of
Godes ich.
The events of the past few days have shown us that Dr. Macklin
and Rev. Joseph Elliott should not move or talk without the protection
of a chaperon.

Mr. J. G. Anderson, who was gerrymandered
out of South Bruce, and who is now the Liberal
candidate in North Huron, sent the following, letter
to the Liberal convention held at Seaforth on May
26th, where Mr. W. I'fgoudfoot was re -nominated: -
1 regret very much that I cannot be present at
your nominating convention tomorrow to say a
word on behalf of your present representative, Mr.
W. Proudfoot. Were i present I would tell the
Liberals of Centre Huron that there was not a more
useful memheri n the legislature than Mr. Proud -
foot, and 1 am speaking altogether apart from a
party standpoint. No bill with a vicious principle
in it will get through the house without Proudfoot
detecting it, and criticizing it. The province cannot
afford to lose Proudfoot in the legislature, and 1
hope that the Liberals of Centre Huron will see that
he is returned by a thousand majority. He deserves
it.
