Cif EAB) AND GRANT.
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.

$10 Apology.
Mr. F. G. 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 says "1'! a man who owns

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•

could be easily placed upon the point of

Taking Mr. G ladstone as our Author-
