Mr Editor:'
Dear Sir: -Remitter has it, that on
the fright. of .:the recent electipn, a
company, we •should say, rather, •`ai
most select company of the politi-
cians known as 'Die Hard" Gr:ts,"
assembled ;in a , restaurant • in ,this
1;oevn, arid' indulged- •it .a 1psciqus''i:e-
past of: oystors, etet celebrate,.,;the
great and: 'glor'ious vtctory''b•f the
Liberal candidate, for ,Spiith Huron!
Shall we tell our readers. who these
gentl'emei were? A thousand'times
No! The broad mantle of otic 71oving
charity 'shall descend, • an obscure
them from the pu'blic's vulgar gaze.
Some grief is too sacred to expose
to the profanityof pelt/Wiry. Suffice
it to say .that these gentlemen have
learned a most salutaret lesson,
a Some of the were certainly old en-
ougii to have' known'it'without our
but youn • and 'old, you
• tellingthem, g
r
will n'evey again. induce any of thein
to eat a 'premature oyster supper,
fele A is ever dangerous , to count
your chickens before they are
hatched.

It 'it a pity that anyone 'with such
a giant brain and bf such intellectual
attainment should waste his talent
writing for a merely local paper.
'1'•Ie should try 'to get on. the editor-
ial gaff of the Toronto Globe or
the Farmers' Sun or else he might
retire to the United States and, aseoc-
jate himself with some of the Hearst
yellow. journals.

petty prejudices and narrow concep-
tions �o�ff itizenship that yon would
have' ether violent outbreak of

pear more intelligent in Abe., public

(We think the writer 'of the item
referred to was nob thinking so
much of the Liberal victory as the

While Wren remain, on the earth there -
will probably be differences of 'opin-
ion and we must learn to respect
talose of the •other fellow, while hold-
ing firmly to our mvil, As for the
newly -elected Liberal Govcrmeient, it
will have troubles of its own and may
needour sympathy, rather than our
condemnation, before it goes far.
