Mi.. Robb sold his faun last Winter but may buy again if he finds what suits him. Goon REASON Fon Ir. --I have been shown a copy of last week's Wingham Advance which has a letter headed "Warning to Conservatives" and signed' "Morris Voter." I am also a Morris voter and a Conservative and I believe Mr. Bowman was not treated fairly even before the Nominating on Cao entisome people he diel Convention, a a osa y not, know when theorganization meet- ing was held in his owndivision where Mnsgrove t'.-Jegateswore chosen. The Advance itself stabbed Bowman be- hind his back in praising Musgrove to, the skies before the Convention mot to the detriment of other candidates who were well known to be in the fleld. No better evidence need be ask- ed as to whether Mr'. Musgrove is so great a favorite as the cool reception he receives from good straight Tories, some of thein not, even residents of this township. The Township Hall meeting last l`riday did not set fire to anything on account. of ib's great warmth. If Mr. Bowman was not, side tracked by a determined plan then I wonder what all the rush was about in loading up the Convention? No honorable man should defend a gerrymander whether the work of a C rib ,or Tory. "Fait play is bonnie play, and the Whitney party has nothm to cheer over in their dealing with Huron Co. When North Huron Was created Bowman should have had it, The Advance cant soft soap a timber of us at this stage and swing us into line as it was tonn i a x ons to toot its little horn when there was no call for it only to knife Bowes/M. It has outdone itself in testifying to the liberality of his candidate when every one who ever' attended a 12th of July gathering has opinions of his own and the patty referred to will trot forget the insults: "Mr. Bowman's turn will come'' says the scribe not if the same croolteaness is 00 the job as was prac- ticed en him this time. Ire can der what he pleases but I will record bey vote against both the gerrymander and Musgrove even if the ranks have to be broken onJune 8th. You should have sounded "beware" before the Convention. A MORRIS Irma.
