Mr Cameron's Reply.
GoDEltica, Ont.,
August 17th, 1897.
To the Editor of "The Signal," Ooderich.
SIR: -For the last six weeks, in each
issue of your paper, you have persis-
tently ventedyour spleen and malice
against me. I paid no attention to
your ravings; I knew, as every person
in town knew, that you were irrespon-
sible, that your "swelled head, van-
ity" and "conceit" bordered on the in -
sang, but when I see that yyour lueu
brations 96
re copied into the Tory press
and made the most of, (for m%ny con-
nected with that Press I have the high-
est esteem) I think it time to speak,
and so I "speak now."
Prior to the lsthof July last, I was, in
the eyes of the Signal, the "Hero of
South Huron," "The War Horse of
West Huron," "the fighter of the pat-
ty," "an able man," etc. Since then I
am, according to the gospel of Dan,
"Basawcod timber," "blather, blaster
and buncombe' "a political cad," "a
scaly politician," "a warped politician,"
"a self-seeking politician," "a scalawag
politician,'" "it cork -screw politician,
"a machine politician," "a bottle -ended
politician," "a played out politician,"
"adead failure,""a polywogat Ottawa"
"aratl all and keep all," "a singed
cat.' Why all this vituperation, Dan ?
How have I changed from the "Hero
of South Huron" to a ,,singed cat" in
six short weeks? Only because I would
not recommend you to the Government
as Postmaster of Goderich, that is the
reason, and that only.
You say thiat I "inveighed" against
nepotism, that I "have come through
the fiery furnace of public life for over
thirty years without being smirched
by a taint of self-seeking or nepotism,"
That is more than can be i:sid of but
few Vaen in Canada; a good deal more
than you can truthfully say for your-
self. You applied for the Registry Of-
fice, no one supported your pretentions.
You interviewed the Local Govern-
ment six times about it. They did not
recognize your claims. You then ap-
plied for the Post-offi--e. You worried
vire to death for six months in the mat-
ter, in season and out of season. You
interviewed the Ministers at Ottawa
asters vnu inyseir oeggtu and
�..,��.
You threatened, coerce and attempt-
ed to bulldoze me- ad nauseant. You
failed. Only three Liberals supported
you -none support you now; you are
"the dead duck." In the face of all
had the cheek
M quote in
thio you ,
yours of the 13th inst,, an extract front
the "Spectator," that you were not
"after the job yourself," andyou pre-
tend now that your recent editorials
were written in the interests of the
Party, and not because you are a dis-
gruntled office -seeker. You know bet-
ter. I did denounce the late Sir L. Til-
ly because .he had a score -of relatives
in the public service. I did assail Sir
Mackenzie Bow?ll because he had over
half a
score feeding at
public ublic crib.
I did attack the late James Dickson
because he appointed himself and two
sons to lucrative places. I did complain
of the Member for North Huron for
making his brother Registrar, because,
as you told me, he, the Registrar, has
a "son and a daughter already id the
Public service." I lid assail, and will
do it again, others because they pen-
sioned their whole families on the
country. But, I challenge you to point
to a single instance of where I assailed
a Minister or to Member of Parliament
for appointing one or two of his rela-
tives to office. I did not denounce Sir
R. J. Cartwright because he had two
sons serving the country. I did not
aa8ft11Sit .
' OMowat because be made
W
his son Sheriff of Toronto, or the Hon.
John Dryden because be made his bro-
ther Registrar of Ontario, or the Hon.
A. S. Hardy because .he secured a
Judgeship for his brother, nor do I at-
tack you because you secured a lucra-
tive office for your brother Tom. One
McGillicuddy just now is enough to
feed at the public crib. At one time I
had some notion of naming you as
Postmaster, though with many mis-
givings as to yonv fitness. Your recent
editor ials have convinced me that you
are utterly' unfit for that or any other
office in the gift of the Government.
You are still an office hunter. You ap-
plied to Hon. Mr Tarte last Saturday
yfor ' an office. You have boasted
around town that you are getting a
better office than that of Postmaster.
Get it. I am satisfied, as long as it is
out of town. You never were of much
use to the Party here, now you are of
none. You are henceforth "Dennis,"
not "Dan."
For thirty 'years I have been an ac-
tive.Party man. During that period I
have sacrificed more for the Liberal
Party than all the McGlillicuddies that
ever saw the light of day, and John
Galt is the first relative, and that by
marriage, I ever recommended for a
public office. You call that nepotism ?
youdon't know the meaning of the word
In yours of the 5th, you say. "Ser-
iously speaking, the whole thing is a
disgrace to every one connected with
this wretched fiasco, ,and we hope the
Government will at once take action
by deciding in favor of the retention
of the office by the present Postmas-
ter." Within one week of the General
election you insisted onthe dismissal
of Mr Campbell. You "were the first
and about the only man who gave in-
formation•- against--him.----You.-visited
my office six days out of seven to press
his dismissal, until you knew I would
not recommend you to his place, to
give information and press the charges.
If the epithets ,-disgrace" and "wretch-
ed fiasco" apply to any one, they apply
to yon, and you only. You pressed for
the dismissal of Campbell as long as
you hoped for the office; a vacancy if I
get the office, no vacancy it I don't
succeed Campbell, was clearly your
motto. I did not give you the office;
hence your venom.
Yotir editorial of the 13th is headed
"The patising of Cameron." Cameron
does not "pass" because be would not
make you Postmaster of Goderich.
He does not so easily pass from the
scene. It will take a good deal more
than you and your !'penny whistle,"
backed up by the Tory Press, to make
him pass. A disappointed office-seek-
•er will surely not make him pass out
ofpolitical life. If you think so call it
.me
et, ngg of the Liberal Convention of
West I aron, I challenge you to do
so and submit your "little grievance"
to the Convention. I will cheerfully
abide the result. Yon own a newspa-
per -now. You have the last word; I
shall pay no more attention to your
ravings, unless forced to do$so.
Yours, &C., M. C. CAMERON.

ROIL Ur Tarte at Goderich.
Hou. J, lorael Tarte, Minister of Public
Works, a000mpanied by Chief Engineer
Coate, arrived at Goderioh on Saturday at.
1.80. The MiAister was met at the depot
by the Town Council, and a large delegation
of influential regidents, and enthusiastical-
ly received. After introductions had been
made a procession of carriages was formed,
which, headed by the town band, proceeded
to the court house, where a large assem-
blage awaited the Minister. file appear-
ance was the signal for hearty cheers, led
by M. C. Cameron, M. P., after which an
address of welcome on behalf of the citizens
and Town Couaoil was read by A. MoD,
Allan, Chairman of the Citizens' loommit-
tee. Hon Mr Tarte, in reJ51y, ibanked the
Council and people of Goderich for the en-
thusiastic reception that had been given
him, and which, he understood, to be out-
side of politicalarty ties. Hie was a busi.
ness trip, so th�l he would become fully,aa-..
`gl
quainted wfthgfters pertaining to the de-
partment of which he was the bead. But
receptions such as the present had the ef-
fect of adding pleasure to the performance
of duty. He vgas glad to see that Goderich
was in such a prosperous condition from
natural causes, as indicated by the address,
as on that account the town would not ex-
peot very much from the Government, but
be know that Goderich harborwas a harbor
of refuge that bad to be kept in good' con-
dition, and as early as 1896 the matter of
the weakness of the breakwater had been
brought to his knowledge, and thio had
been repeated in1897, when he finally bed
placed in the setimatso $55,000 to be ex-
pended in g the work properly done.
That greater progress bad not been made
in the work since last March was not the
fault of the Government, and he would see
to it before he left the town that it would
be properly taken hold of and pushed to a
rapid conclusion. He again thankad those
present for the kind reception accorded him
and resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
The Minister and the delegation then
proceeded to tho Hotel Bedford, where a
capital luncheon was spread, the chair be-
ingoccupied by .Acting Mayor Thompson,
who was toast master for a list including
the Queen, the Governor-General, acid the
Minister of Public Works. Hon. Mr Tarte
in his after dinner speech, put himself in
the good graces of all presont by an able
and witty address. in which he reiterated
his desire tc do his duty by the public and
the places all o • or the country where a ju-
dicious expenditure would be in the public

The regular meeting of Ratten�i�iry
Street league was more than unusally
interesting on Monday evening last,
when the subject of Wisdom waa dis-
cussed in two papers. "A Wise Son"
was the first, written by Miss Bertha
Bean, a�1d a paper sgf no mean merit,
though loot long. Tie second division
of the subject "A Good Name" by Mise
Eva Jenktns, was apaper of rare merit
and brought out without unnecessary
elaboration,and qct most clearly and
distinctly the benefit of a good name,
contrasting it with riches and honor,
and showing how essential a good name
is to both material and spiritual welfare.
The Owen Sound Sun says: --"Rev.

it is thought he will not commence his

There is every prospect that the S.S.

Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday
and Wednesday next, will be a most
successful and interesting gathering.
Every provision is made in the pro -
grain for diversity of subject, and the
discussion of live Sunday School and
Christian Endeavor topics cannot but
be beneficial. The meetings will all be
open to the public, and all those who
attend either the day or -evening ser-
vices, will not regret it. A good crowd
is expected, and the Clinton people,
with their usual hospitality, will use
them well.
