DON'T LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY
To: Get Bargains in
Rev. Mr. McLean's Reply.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
SIR : Being anxious • to see Mr. Hart-
ley's letter, I delayed- till that letter
made its appearance .before I would re-
ply
lett r
ce s
ply to "Lover of Justice' ,
hoping that one reply might do for bo h,
if there should happen to be anything
in Mr. Hartley's letter that would cell
for an answer. And first, let me say
`
what I hate -to say in reply to •"Loser
of Justice." "Lover of Justice" tries;to
evade the point at issue, -viz., the chs ge
which he himself characterizes as so
severe" on my character by runni g
away to side issues. But .I will not
allow your readers to be so led away
from the point in dispute. "Lover of
Justice" charged me with "reporting
every little trivial matter in the past
that might in any way appear detri-
mental to Mr. Hartley." ' Now, I show-
ed by the reference which I madeto the
records of Presbytery, and the extracts
I made from such records, that the
charge was groundless, and that coq o.
gnently. "Lover of Justice" was guilty
of deliberate falsehood, and a slanderer.
This I proved so clearly that even
"Lover of Justice" did not deny it,
This, then,
should settle -this charge.'
What has my being furious, even if I
were so, what has my being "particnler-
ly indignant" at such a charge being
preferred against me, to do with the .
truthfulness or untruthfulness of that
charge ? Nothing at all. Any indig' a
tion that I may have exhibited o er myo-
i.
such a charge was unknown to
