It appears about two weeks ago a strange dog came on Mr. Guainen's farm and had a• scuffle with his dog and killed some of his ducks and left again at the time. Mr. Guainen thought little of the matter, but eventually his suspic- ion became aroused that all was not right with his own dog. He tied him up for fourteen days expecting that in that time he would discover if bis dog had hydrophobia or not. The dog be- ing as usual he again allowed him hie freedom thinking nothing more about the matter. In a few days his dog showed some peculiar symptoms, be- coming sharper than usual and eating everything which he could get a hold of. On Thursday last the dog grabbed Mr, Guainea's right hand and broke the skin in three places. Mr. Guainen became alarmed and consulted parties who understood the symptoms of ani mals which are affected with hydropho- bia and was convinced that his dog was affected with the disease. He was re- quested by some persons to tie up his dog, but he said be would run no fur- ther risk and at once shot him. The reader can hardly .imagine Mr. Guain- en's feelings He could not work and was worrying considerable about the matter. After consulting a number of friends, he started at once for Chicago to take a treatment. Mr. Guainen, he fore leaving, left strict orders to have his cattle aud horses watched as bo was of the opinion that some of them may also have been bitten but has no proof of the fact. He wilt be abseut about three weeks as we aro iuformed that the treatment takes about that length of time.

Dan McGillicuddy's Reply to M. C. Cameron. The following is Dan McGillicuddy's reply to M. C. Cameron's letter which appeared in the ADVOCATE last week. SIR: Your letter is that of an angry mart, With reference to your remarks on my "swelled head," " vanity," and " conceit " I have nothing whatever to say. You were glad to have me as I was, so long as I did not oppose your will, add you would be glad to day if all that you have said and done against me were undone, and you could once more pose as a reliable and truthful man. I don't care a straw for your abuse or your threats—any black- guard may call names. You said that I held a high opinion of you at one time. I did, and so did thousands of others in the county of Huron, but I regret to say we don't hold the same opinion of you to day. You were a fighter and a leader that I delighted to follow. You had the repu- tation, which I have since learned was not deserved, of being an honest poli- tician, whose word was his bond, You were looked upon as a man who cared not what sacrifice he made for his par- ty, and who believed that public office was a public trust. All this has chang- ed. You are no longer a leader, but a creature in the hands of two or three designing men, who have taken ad- vantage of your many infirmities to force upon you a course which your better judgment, in the days when you were mentally and physically stronger than you are to day, would have deter- red you from adopting. As to your collection of terms of op- probrium, which you falsely say I has e applies to you, you know that your name was never mentioned in connee tion with any of them. It is true that I opened up a column of political ap- horisms in TnE SIGNAL, but, my dear sir, they were in the " political pointers" referene5eto good men in politics, as well as to crooked chaps. I shall now deal with some of your allegations against me. You say I am au office seeker; that I applied for the Registry Office, and then I applied for the post office to you. Further on, you say, that I ,' was the first and only man who gave information against Camp- bell," and that I did so within a week of the general election. With regard to the registry. office I plead guilty, if it be a crime to apply for a position after a quarter of a century of earnest and faithful work, without fee or reward. With reference to your statement of my having applied to you for the post office, or that I went to you in June, or at any time while the case was pending—You Lie, and you know it. Fortunately I can prove this by your own letters The first word that was spoken between you and me on the subject of the post - office was on the 30th day of August, last year on your return from Ottawa, the week before the registry office ap poiutment was settled, Then you said you had come up on the train with the Hon. J. M. Gibson, who had told you that owing to the hostility of Thomas Gibson, M. P. P. for East -Huron, to me, I could not get the Lace. " But," you added " never mind Dan, I will give you the post - office." I told you that you were good at giving offices that were not vacant, and you replied " I will make a vacan- cy; I will cut Campbell's d—d head off" I then told you that I did not want Campbell's head cut off to make a place for me, and you replied " Camp- bell will go anyway, and you will have the first offer." This is the story of the case, and you know it is true. But you practically corroborate it in your letter to me dated April 30, 1897, the day the decision was delivered, and which by the way, was in reply to mine of the 29th April of this year—the first corres- pondence which I ever had with you on the subject : "Yours of yesterday received. I have been laid up three or four days confined to my room. I intend to go west to -night to remain till I feel a good deal better than I am now. I have no recollection of having made you, or anybody else, an express pro- mise. I do, however, recollect in 'a moment of weakness' saying to you when the Registry Office failed, " Why don't 'you apply for the Postoffice P " I think this is the statement made, and I have no hesitation in now saying that then I fully intended, if a yacancv oc curred, that[you should have the office. Since then other circumstances have arisen that make it difficult, if not im- possible for me to carry out my origin 411 intention." Now, that is the quotation. How do you reconcile your own statement above given, with the statement in your last Lotter regarding my attitude to Campbell and my worrying you in June to obtain the postoffice for me? If I had been acting in June as you assert, why was it necessary for you to ask me to apply for the postoifice in the last of August? Somebody is bearing false witness in this case, and I am not doing it. My attitude in re ference to the retention of Postmaster Campbell is nota new one, 'explained matters in full to several of the Minis tars at Ottawa iu May last, and did not hesitate to say that the dismissal of Campbell would do injury to the Lib- eral party, especially if it were imple. mewed by appointing John Galt. I re- peated this to three of the Ministers at Ottawa on a subsequent visit and left n written statement of the case on that occasion. So, you see your feeble and false attempt to attach a stigma to me in this regard is futile in the extreme. You say that what you objected to was wholesale nepotism, and claim that it is not a crime to go into the re- tail business in that regard In the opin- ion of honest men and according to the Decalogue, he who steals one sheep is a thief, and so is he who steals a flock. I apply the analogy to your particular case in appointing John Galt. As a lawyer you know, if you know any- thing, that it is a principle in law that no trustee shall be a beneficiary in the trust which he holds, save and except it be nominated in the bond. You hold a trust from the people of West Huron, and it is not nominated in the „bond that the post offices of the county should be your blood relatives or re- latives by marriage to the exclusion of all others. You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting and, politically speaking. " Mene, mene, tekel upharsin " is now written. on the wall, so far as you are concern- ed, Yvu cannot shelter yourself be- hind the doings of others, It did not avail Adam to say, " The woman tempted me and I did eat." Then you charged me with the crime of nepotism, because my brother was appointed to a position in the Govern. meut employ at Toronto. I had no more to do with getting that position for my brother than you had. The Local Government wanted a competent stenographer and editor in connection with one of their departments. Thee, McGillicuddy possessed the necessary qualifications and was appointed for isa ability, b lty, and not because he had a brother. Even bad I been a factor, I was not a member. You say I am still an office seeker, and you make a statement bringing in the name of Hon. Mr. Tarte. Mr. Tarte will neither endorse your state- ment nor thank you for the insinuat- ion, and I have already proved that you are a very capable falsifier when you make the necessary effort. Then you try to slur at my name, and, with loud boastings claim that you "have made greater sacrifices for the Liberal party than all the McGilli cuddys that ever saw the light of day." Well, I am not ashamed of my name. It's a good, time-houored Irish name and I am proud to own it. It came to me honorably, and I know of no blot on its fair fame, from a party or any other standpoint. The McGillicuddys always have been true and honest and faithful to their friends. I never beard of a briber or a boodier in the family, You yourself were glad to pay the following tribute to me in the letter previously quoted from (April 30, '97) : " Now Dan, there is no man in Gode- rich I would sooner do a good turn for than you, but in this matter I have to consider more than you and myself. I know your services to the party as well as you can tell me. I know your claims before the party as well as you can tell me. * * * I do not wish to enter into particulars at present but at some future day I shall he glad to explain the conditions to you, and you will be satisfied with whatever course I take." Do you remember last year, when your efforts to get into the Cabinet proved futile, and you threatened to resign and take the registrarship? You went to Toronto and applied to the Local Government for the position, and being refused, you then asked that I should have the position, claiming that, outside of yourself, I best deserved the office. If you do not remember it, I do and so do the Ministers whom you interviewed. Who was the office -seeks*' on that occasion ? And that probably is one of the six visits to Toronto e h Lu you falsely attribute to me. I could, if I were so disposed, make of you the greatest exhibitive that ever was made of a public man in Can- ada. You talk about your sacrifices, but will you tell me what you have done for Liberalism, or in Parliament, outside of filling Hansard with strong adjectives and limping bogie? What is your record for 30 years of public life ? True, you may say, " T carred South Huron and West Huron on sev- eral occasions, and I spent a lot of money in doing so," but your efforts on these occasions were not because you were so true to Liberalism, but because you wanted to have "Hon- orable " attached to the name of M. C. Cameron --a purely selfish motive. But, even if you have bought up the constituency, that is no reason why you, should now sell it, and that is what you have done. You say that I am an office -seeker because I applied for a positioa, and tried honestly to get it. What about yourself ? When I spoke of your ua- smirched career of 30 years, I spoke without looking up the records, Since then I have looked them up and .1 find that, as early as 1866, you were au office -seeker. You applied to Sir Johne A. MacDonald's Government to make you judge of the county of Huron.. You were an office seeker theu, 34. years ago, and you are an office -seeker to day, During the Mackenzie regime you, were anxious to have "Honorable " at- tached to your name by way of the Senate. You did not get it, and there were strained relations between you and your leader. Comiug up to 1893, you became ass office -seeker as soon as it became known that the late registrar was stricken with illness, and made,' think, the first application for the office, Immediately after the death of Judge Toms iu. May, 1895, you were) very willing to throw dawn the Lib- erals in West Huron and to accept u judgeship from the late Tory Govern- ment. But the plot failed, and yotc were again an office -seeker out of a job. I know all the particulars, and may give them on another occasion. After the judgeship failed you, you again betook yourself to the chase foto the registrarship, and after vainly writ- ing, made a special pilgrimage to To - route to obtain the position, as I have already stated, And yet you have the hardihood to call another man an office- seeker—to denounce another for seek - jag an ofiiceia a legitimate way. I could go on exposing and giving particulars of your political iniquities for weeks were I so disposed, but I have no desire to make you feel worse than you do to -day. Your letter bean evidence that yours is truly in a bad state. You boast of your strength in the constituency and my weakness. There is an easy way to settler it. Place your resignation in the hands of the Speaker of the House, and then run for the constituency, if you dare. I will test your strength and my weakness to suck au extent that you will not be heard of again in Canadian polities. I had intended to let you res' quietly in the grave which you had (legged for your- self, but now, I tell ewe that I shall face you every time you dare to raise your head on this question, in press or on platform, until you are called hence to answer before the highest tribunal for the deeds you have done.
