Entoon,-I noticed an item in ignoranee •ane lI a Poor' saying I professed -nas to the legal expeheee tnourred by the peeve aril Clerk in the Howe case. Also that I passed' those amounts a week previous at the Board, I say these sbabemenbeare anything but correct as I was neither planed in a peouliar position nor professed ignorance, I said on nomination day that the solar. ieswere too high aud when raked by the Bee/e'50 explain I quoted fignree ont 0f the yearly report, Tho Cloth and the Reeve seemed willing to drop it. Why 001 have straightened this up when 1 was on the platform ? The figures I quoted were Mr, Stewart's salary -$00,00, Mr. Stewart got a raise of $20 which I tried to reduce at the Council Board and could not, eo I never passed that account. Mr. Scott got a rise from 500 to 080. Tnoao alarm were raised when the Re. form party gob in power. The aononnte I paeeed at the previous Council 'meeting you will find in the Deo. 22nd issue of TED Pour 1 F. S. Seott'e salary, legal ex- penses.and miscellaneous all in one 00. caunt, making $91.17, but when the year- ly statement came out I found there obarged to Mr. Scott $113.60. Of course it was preemption on my part to men- tion this before the ratepayers but you will see I never passed the $118,60 at the previous Counoil meeting. I feel to con- gratulate myself on coming out with eo clean a sheet at the end of the year. I think if there was anything more against me it would be in print by this limo. The article Bays there is no nigger in the fence. Well, I dont say there is but I dont ogre whether he is in the fence or on the fence there is no harm in keeping. your eye on him in ease we lose a ohiok- en. The person who put the piens in Tat. Pon against me, without any cause whatever trying to injure me, I care nob whether he is a white nigger or a colored gentleman his prinoiples are very dark. Yours, &o., JOHN WYNN.
