Y:' ' : a ,' A:. 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. i -117" 1, . , . . - 6 will Ze sent to, new, subscribers, to 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 Church chimes, , Rev. Father McEwen, of Loudon has been appointed to the eh4.rg� a of St. Augustine, Blyth and Wingham, which were made vacant by the ieath of Rev. Father Quigley. f 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. Wm....savag,e, whohas been engaged lecturing and preaching almost night - 1 during the last winter and spring, through the counties of Grey and Bruce, has been engaged for grove and evanglistic meeting in the counties of Wellington and Lincoln.

Convention to be held in 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.
