I 119,0 been a reads „„ot your pltppr. for neral eats, although at one tinge I confess was very strongly opposed to PAP N»�ve- Bg901t11. Qif late year's I 'have read your co limns closely and.wust admit I did did not correctly estimate the worth of your fearlessness. While I cannot endorse all you say politically, I can and do approve, of your stand so far on every local question. On the Stavely estate matter, the appoint- ment of a town treasuuet and the pur- chase of a road machine, I most hearti- ly tender you my gratitude for the consistent and sensible stand you have taken. In all these you have been right, while your utterances have not been abusive. Without enu- merating, take the purchase of a road machine by the Council. You did not take a side for politics, because the Tories were divided on the vote. You stood by what you consider the hest machine and you are backed by the Council. The Mayor and town officials do not agree that such is the case, but it has been duly recorded according to law. While these gentlemen do not agree, they refuse to hack up the posi- tion they have voluntarily assumed. Of course I ata thoroughly convinced they have made a mistake, but should they not manfully acknowledge such to he the case as}publicly as their form- er declarations were made ? Sotne of them now Pay the testimonial they gave the American machine was not for publication. In fact 1 am informed on reliable authority the Mayor admits this l Still the reflection on the Cana- dian machine and endorsation of the A,neriaan machine appears in the Mayor's own paper with the Mayor's signature attached ! What rot 1 such humbug ! The statements made are not true. They are plainly Iihellons ; this was shown in your columns last week and forcibly demonstrated by the silence ot the. New Era hast Friday. The course of the Mayor on this ques- tion has not been consistent or manly. He did not invite discussion at the Board as to the merits of the'rnac•hines, but asked for a vote without discussion which means of course he did not de- sire to discuss the merits of the Ameri- can machine favored by himself. The Council were wise in purchasing the machine they did. Yours, TAXPAYER. Sir CharlesTupper'sspeech in Wind- sor Hall, Montreal, last Saturday night, laid hare the many sore spots in the Grit policy. and placed Mr. Laurier and SirRichardint.heir;truelight. Every elector should read the deliverance. It is no wonder the Grits fear Sir Charles Tupper. West Huron Conservatives will nom- inate a candidate at Smith's Hill nn Friday. Several prominent outside men have been mentioned as possible candidates, while such worthy local men as Major Beck, James Connolly, Dr. Freeborn, W. Doherty. John Rens- ford, G. D. McTaggart, Dr. Holmes, John Butler, Robert McLean, E. Hea- ton and others have lifen mentioned. H. Carscellen, Q. C., of Hamilton, an old time Reformer and party work- er, will no longer follow Laurier, de- claring that he will in future identify himself with the Conservative party. He is an ex -president of the Hamilton Reform Association and has at last become "tired of the vacillating, shilly-shallying policy of the Liberal party on the trade question." This is only another instance of the incom- petency of Laurtler and his followers. Do not sacrifice your country and the people's prosperity because your feelings may he strong on some issue Which the Conservative Party is not responsible fort rather a side issue Which the Grits have forced upon the haople, and a side lame which they ve always opposed and now trait- orouslyexpect will place them in pow- er by eluding the electors and gaining tJonservative support. Conservatives, be warned in time. Clinton, May 10. Gorrie. "Seatorth and Clinton will give a good exhibi- tion of our national game of Lacrosse, Clinton, May 25th. L. O.
