The two Kingston pulpit politicians are at it, hammer and tongs. The pet is saying; that the kettle is black. . The air is full of sulpheroue sentences and :ill is inharoioniaus. The protestant pulpit-pol!tician,svho failed so striking- ly to work Kingston int the interest of lelowat, attributed Harty's defeat to the utterauces of the Catholic pulpit'. politician, ata the latter now turns and wends his fellow -worker in the vim: - yard of the Lord and Olivet .Mowat, and affirms that the defeat of Harty was entirely due to the utterances of Principal Grant. Grant had a slap at Cleary because of the use the latter of the phrase "a hungry adventurer" in describing Mr. Meredith; and Cleary re- torts by pointing' out that Great refer. red to Meredith and his party as being "ignorant, prejudiced and hungry," and as being implicated in public rob- bery. Mutual recrimination is the or- der of the day, and the two priests, a few days ago happily working together as heelers for Sir Oliver, are now en- gaged in an undignified slang;whang- rn0 match. Both have temporarily foie• gotten that they are priests, and both use the language of the common poll- . tician. From our standpoint the fight is a very pretty one. Go it, clog! Go it, bear! Yon are both telling tee truth about each other, and in time, if you keep it up, the country will know you, eveu as you know yourselves. When thieves quarrel honest woe get their dues; when pulpit -politicians quart el each gets his due from the ether. Priest Cleary may perhaps find some comfort in the knowledge that his co religionists are much scarcer in the present Legislature than in the last, and Priest Grant may solace himself with the fact that Ontario has dismissed Sir Oliver, whether she eeuld afford to do so or not. Go it, boys! • HOW ABOUT THE f eels TT WNS? The peculiar position of the Mowat goyernineut naturally suggests the aboye question—and our readers and the general public, will feel curious to know what part in'the politicel game of Ontario the Patrons of Industr4 are likely to play in the near future. No one will pretend that their canvass was favorable to the Mowat adminis- tration, -as on different points they opposed the goverment caudidates, and in several instances were elected by constituencies ou that ticket. We may fairly conclude that many Conserva- tiyes voted in favor of Patron candi- dates who were opposed to the Mowat administration of of",'aim on such points as these: British connection, rigid economy, reservation of public lauds for the actual settler economy of tint ber limits esc. Such is the creed of the Patrons. How does it respond to the Mowat mismanagement? If any doubt existed as to the true inwardness of the Patrons' program, such must have been dispelledby the abuse beeped upon them by the goeern err Tran, the 'Toronto Globe which is now in the exigencies of the party, striving hard to make terms aith the Patrons, and saying to thein: "Walk into my par- lor" as said the spider to thin fly! 'The latest move on the political ch'^as•boaid is to ask Mr. Pardo, the member elect for West Kent, who is a somewbat doubtful Patton, to retire and clear the course for the rejected of Kingston (Mr. Harty) to run the gauntlet. Should this dodge be adopted, how will Mr. Harty, tin R. C. expect to win the. constituency against his eo religionist 111x. Clancye A more popular or use• ful member of the Legislature could not be found that Clancy—and one who would carry out the Patrons' pro- gram to the letter, as he fought so nob- ly under his leader, Mr. Meredith, The public'may well wait for developments. ONLY THIRTY. RTY. The official count of the ballots cast in West Huron was held in Goderich on Saturday. Mr, Garrow had been credited with a majority of over one hundred, but the re-count lessens this number down to thirty. Some Reform- ers claim that the mistake is partly explained by the making of a mistake By a deputyreturning officer' in Olin ton, and others did hot strictly core ply with the rules set down. We von- titre to say that there are not a fere Patrons in Wawanosh who now wish that they had voted for their own can- instead f ` dids tao f or his opponent.— Witte, haat Adyance, 'I'JI.L' FOREST STANDA IW SAYS "Certain rapers boast that only two straight P.

Neilin editor of the Seaforth Sun, who was threatened with criminal proceedings by Mr. M. 'McLean, for the publication of a libelous article in the Sun,retracts the statements and thus sarcastically comments on same:— "Whenever an election is over the Sun always gives the result in figures only, and never attempts to prolong party strife or bitterness, which may have arisen during the contest. Last week we earl ied out our policy to the very letter. However, it appears that we are not to be permitted to adhere to our wishes in this respect, and must, in self defence, sacrifice a former well defined policy. Last week Mr, McLean, of the Expos- itor, brought a crimival action for libel Igainst the editor of the San, for stat- 'iig that the ballot boxes were mani- ulated in the township of Hay, to the defeat of the late George Case. Every person who lived sat the coun- ay at the time will remember that \'Ir. Case was declared elected and his friends burned a Large bonfire in honor of the victory. The next day brought he intellegence of the ballot boxes, bouks and ballots cast in one polling sub division, .where Mr. Case had a large majority, had been stolen and Mr. Bishop was elected. The Grits rad their bonfire in the evening'. We challenge Mr. McLean to say hat this is not correct. We inadvertently connected Mr. Mc- Lean's name with the transaction and no person was more surprised co see the connection than we were ourselves. This is where Mr. McLean had vele his power and he "fed fat the grudge he owed us," in his $10 apology. We could not prove that Mr. McLean was "into the little game" on account of Mr. Case having departed this life, We signed the apology in order to avoid law costs which we cannot afford co pay even iu defending a suit of this nature. The article in question was not writ- ten in a "malicious', manner. (sur idea wase-eo prevent Mr, McLean from play lag the role of "local roan," in order to catch Conservative votes. We be- lieve our efforts in this direction were amply rewarded from the fact that very few Tories cast their votes in favor of Mr. McLean in this vicinity, and he lost heavily amongst tae Grits who could not bolt the McLean dose. Viewing the matter correctly, Mr. Mc- Lean had not the most kindly feelings towards us, and we received '• no ap- provi ng smile or wink." No doubt our sole object was to in- jure Mr. McLean in that political sense which one politician injures another. To state.otherwise we would say an un- truth. That portion of the apology is correct. It was Mr. McLean's vindictive eat ure, egged ou by his messly mejority of Z q. that at cans ed tbe criminal libel charges to be preferred against us Under the circumstances we had no other alternative than to sign the apol ogy which was written by himself and solicitor, and forced upon us—with the pleasure of paying $10 for the privilege of being forced into saying what was not true, except in connecting his name with the transaction. The apology was after the manner of the highway robber mode of doing bass ness, by placing a revolver at the vic- tirra's bead and shouting—"stand and deliver" They manufactured the apology and we had no recourse but to sign it --we delivered our name. And this truly good Mr. McLean was not satisfied with his "pound of flesh, but ring's in a certificate of character for himself for which we are also charged up at the rate of $10 an npol ngy. "A character without a stain," Doom Mr McLean believe his chareeter is without a stain? 'yell! From }nide, vain glory and hypocrisy -good Lord deliver us The Bible, the rule of Christian faith says: ,'There is none perfect no not nc oe' Accepting it, as we doiii all matters of faith, this $10 certificate of Mr. MeLean's character, snakes us tell a deliberate lie This $10 apology makes Mr, McLean as pure and gentle as an angel. His immediate friends should examine him closely, and we have no doubt but they will find a fresh pair of wings sprouting from the neighborhood of his shoulders —if the wings are not of angel type,. they will be the extreme remove—that of a bedabbled gosling, Of course our esteemed friend, Mr, McLean, will admit that there is ilii greater statestaen on earth than Mr Gladstone—Britain's G. O. M. Mr. Gladstone says "1'! a man who owns andcontrols aa he, wsa . ' P perres who re err' q t.s to shield Himself behind a libel suit must be a nonentity of the cabbage head order," lla :MeLeau eannot deny this standaid authority—hie owl, political saint. Could Mr. Gladstone hay lead Mr. McLean in his mind when he uttered these. words. Not But must have had some other rniserable.,laeIranaapes of sine• iter type, a thousand of whose souls could be easily placed upon the point of a cambric needle. Taking Mr. G ladstone as our Author- ity, we roust in future recognize Mr McLean as "the Cabbage Head Editor" of the Expositor. Bah!

Clinton: The other day an aged lady named Boles, who resided with Mr, Wm. Steep, slipped on the floor and dislocated her hip joint. The shock was evidently more than she teeuld stand, for although quite healthy and rugged in other respects, she died on Saturday evening, aged 90 years, The remains were taken east for interment She was formerly a Miss McGee, of Goderich township. Kippen: The family of Mr. James McTavish, of the Kippen road, Tucker-, smith, received the sad intelligence a, few days ago of the death of their son.

It was a consummation devotedly to be wished and since it Iris been happily achieved it would be a waste of words to make mention of the cause of it, even though the cause was a providential one. Seaforth: Mr. Robert Coleman, of `leaforth, passed away very suddenly on Sunday, July 1st. Although he had been coetined to his residence for some weeks, his case was not thought to be so serious. Deceased was 58 years of age, and was one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Sea - forth. Mr. Colemau was a brother re the late Dr, Coleman.
