Nicholson, 1+ miles East of here, people assembled by the hundreds un- til the scene represented was more like a Fall Fair crowd than anything else. The gathering was in the in- terests of the new hospital at Wing. ham and the object was not only a worthy one but evidently appealed to the public by the way the people sup- ported it. A business like Committee had the work in band, with T, S. Brandon as Chairman and D. Allison as Secretary, and they certainly did their part most excellently. Long tables were placed on the lawn where hundreds were regaled by the neces- saries and delicacies of this life. The performance opened in the afternoon when a base ball match was played between Blyth juniors and a Belgrave team in which the latter was victor- ious, the score being 13 to 8, - Later a good game carne off with Blyth and Wingham opposing when the South- ern lads won a victory by io to 7.

DEAR EDITOR.— We are hearing through the Conserve. Mee prime a great deal about a speeoh made by oar member, Dr, Chisholm, at Dungannon where he stated that be bad it on the beet of authority that there had now mime into the three Hurons eI0,000 each to sestet in carrying them at the next eleotiob, Now the windy Dr. knows thio is a falsehood that or !gloated in bie fertile mind, or in other words it ie a oaee of drawing a herring asrose the meet, It ie well known that parties who do things that are not straight themselves are generally the first to talk, and talk loadeet, about their opponents, whether truthfully or falsely it mskee no dlfferenoe and especially to Dr. Ohienolm when on the akin hunt, Let us examine his actions In the past and see if I am right in my -conclusion°, We all know, and he knows, that bis last election was not straight alae tbat.bbat the Ooneerva- live party traded London for East Huron in the matter of protests in the last election. They then knew that London was not straight on the part of the Liberate as no elections think bee been straight on either side in London ninon Sir John Oarlinges famous elections, and they well knew that Bast Enron was the same on their part or they would never consent to drop the patting in of •a pro. test. in London if the Liberals did the ease in Bast Huron against Dr, Chia holm. We also know that he stated at the Conservative meetingsheld at Brussels last December and Jane and last Friday that he would not say that he would be the onndidate in the Tory interests ; that he did not want to run as it bad ruined bis praotioe, broken up bin home and he was au old man and should give way to younger men, and 11 is up to the electors of Eaet.Buren to see that they take him at hie word at the next eleotioo. Let his owe word's be the battle Dry cud yet the man who gets up and makes theme state. menta is and hasbeen for months Dan• +miming nearly every Doe be meats iu the tidieg. He don't Dell public meetings and let the electors know what be has been doing. If be did tble he would have to tell the troth or be shown up, but he takes the still hank where be can have a story for every one to snit the eireum- stauoes. Anything and everything to get votes appears to be the Dr's, motto. It was eo iu the teat election and will be in. the next es he is in the field even if he did not aoaept the nomination at the oonventiou. I have shown that our member is not either truthful or honest with the electors and T think East Huron don't want e,uy snob pertbn to be their representative at Ottawa, No one Dan say oaoh about A, Hislop, the Liberaloandidsle, as he is not and never was a trimmer. -Every one knows when: and where to find Archie on any subject and be ie the same to all, honest. and truthful. Yet there is another reason why the windy Dr, dose not accept and it is along ,the same line. Ibis even hinted by big supporters, and one who was a little green and not posted on the ways el big. nominee, stated after the Convention en the streets of Brussels that it be accepted be (mild not prsotiee int Dr. end that was his teesnn for not aseepting tit the present time, Yet if year readers only think OW is the role he tilayed1 last time and there it more truth than poetry lo hie eletemeot in not being able to praotioe, Ila earl praotioe medicine bat not ae he to said t0 have done last time 0r 11 would void hie eleOtion, Viet is : where the Crabb comae in. .After' the last (dinette/ it wee°errantly elated tbat be bad done a deal of free praotioe with the object of getting votos and if he eseepted it might stop this praotioe, This was the ooarselis adopted in hie campaign last time rad will be again. Liberate were (met napping and it le 111) to them this time to see that they are. n01 again naught the Same way. East Huron is oars if we united en we should a Conservative, let alone a one 11,0 Liberal, should never have been elected in the riding, :Take everything the Dr. says in hie personal oanvaee with a strong grain of salt as you are 'safe to bet it ie not gospel he is telling you. He dare not tell one hundredth part of his yarns in pabilo where be ran be eon. bradtated. One would bays thought MAI ab their lest two meetinge at whiob there were Cabinet Ministers a pabilo meeting would beheld in the evening when the general public would have been invited to bear what they bad beau doing but Bath was not the oasis they evidently don't want light to be given. They al- allowed the Provincial Secretary to walk oat of town the same evening ma be met them in the Hall as if they did not seem pleased about his explanation of his takiog the liquor question out of polities as they had promised when, in power. If every elector examinee Dr. Obie bolm's personal cauvaseing statements they will find them on a par with hie 610,000 yarn, All Liberals, eepeoially those fooled lest time, and all fair mind. ed Conservatives ehould make up their mioda that East Huron will not be re. presented by any each a man let him be Grit or Tory. - When Dr. McDonald was, first elected be only got 61,000' indemnity and he could truthfully say it ruined his pram. Moe. The salary wee raised to 61600 and Dr. Chisholm said if it was ruining his praotioe he should step down, as he bad been long time there and look after his practise but now that it baa gone np to $2600 and Dr. Cbieholm has been draw- ing since he went there it wee one of the things he telt the same as the Govern• merit on. Yon may wonder that the Dr, ebould say it bas ruined his praotioe 50 you wonid 'saturant, think $2600.00 and what be makes when at home and the free passes be gets to travel all over on railways ought tosatiety any ordinary, man but It don't satiety the Dr. He meet mean that it ie his system of free praotioe that ie raining the proceeds from his practice if so be should be sent Wok to hie praotioe and his home.
