NOTE AND COMMENT, —We dislike copying, but in the lan- guage of our esteemed totem, in '98, " Wingham done well," * * * —Wingham, 113!! Come again. Bro. Holmes, and wo will be profoundly thankful for your assistance, Did you hear it? --118. * * —A large number of Wingham Libe als, thoroughly disgusted with the Ro Government, must have dropped the ballots for honest government. Wi them, it was time for a change. * * * —The Wingham Times published dirty, scurrilous item last week regar ing the editor of this paper, and in doiu so reproduced a tissue of barefaced fats hoods, Those who try to injure t reputation of others should be sure th their own past record will at all tin bear the light of day. A word to t wise is sufficient, * * * —Tho "Liberator" has the followin estimate of Robt. Holmes, M. P., Clinton: "The desperate straits that the introduc- tion of this question drove the Government party to is evidenced in the activity of Robt. Holmes, 31. P., who poses as a tem. peranee man and who polled many Conser- vative votes In his own eiection on that score. It must be most distasteful to Mr. Holmes to stultify himself in this way, but the party demands it, and neither consci- ence, principle, nor reputation must stand for a moment in thoface of party exigency," Ah 1 Bro. Holmes, the Advance is no the only one to assist in tearing air til mask. The "Liberator" sizes you u correotly—"neither conscience, principl nor reputation," oto. Why don't yo get iu a passion at the Liberator? Or are you up against a stone hall? * * * —Robt. Holmes, M. P., was very ung last week, judging from the venom h manifested iu the notice he gav the editor of the Advance. Phew, yo could almost smell the sulphur fume from the scurrilous item he penned f the frenzy of his rage. If space per milted we would disseot his abusiv paragraph sentence by sentence. Sufiie it to say that in thirty-eight Iines, h crowded nine bare -faced falsehoods which we challenge him to prove o stand convicted. One of his plaints i that we supported Major Beck. 0 course we did, because the same dis honest machine that elected Holmes cheated Beck out of his honestly -won seat, ac least twice. Here is a sample of Holmes' ravings: "He (referring to the editor of the Advance) would support his Satanic Majesty, if the party brought him out." No sir, never! When you purred that, Mr. Holmes, you knew it was false. Besides the Conservatives are more choice in their candidates. You can have his Satanic Majesty all to yourself. e suspect he is on your side, if we can jo.4ge by the 1)allot-switchin ballot- stuiriing your party have disgraced the province with. A glance at the evidence in your own election would indicate that his Satanic Majesty took quite a hand in electing you. In No. 4, Colborne, it is said 43 voters swore they voted for McLean, but only 30 of their ballots were found in the box, while 68 were marked for you -98 ballots for 111 voters. Of the 68 Holmes ballots, 14 were of different size, different paper, differently initialled, and a paper expert declared it was "absolutely impossible" for them to have come off the stubs; they were of different stock, and did not fit the stub. In face of this and the other irregularities, you had the brazen- ness to declare publicly (according to the Goderich Signal) that not one iota of wrong -doing had been proven." Why, man, what are you coming to? No wonder the Liberator says "neither conscience, principle, nor reputation," etc. Then you close your screed against the Advance thus: "If a clearer case of arrant hypoc- risy prevails than in the case of the Advance editor, we would like to know it." r - ss it th ad- 0- he at 08 he of t e p 0 u ry e e u 8 n e e 0 r s f Would you really? Well, if yon are thirsting for tho knowledge, wo can gratify you. You can find the fellow you are enquiring for, in the Clinton New Era sanctum; his name is Robt. Holmes. Pshaw, that's easy. Say Bro. Iiolmes, have you met Miss Wiggins on the plat- form yet? Public Meeting. The public meeting in the Opera house on Tuesday evening was largely attended, Mr. Park occupied the chair, and the speakers were given an attentive hearing. Mr. Jas. Mitchell, the Conservative candidate was pres- ent and stated clearly his position and refuted the slanders that were circu- lated against him in the riding. Miss Chisholm favored the audience with a well rendered solo, and responded to the eurore received. Rev, Dr, Chown, of Toronto, delivered a very free ad- dress. Iris points were well made, and the kindly, yet forceful manner of the address made it very effective. Rev, R. Robbs sang a solo—"Canada Shall Yet I3e Free" and was loudly cheered. The meeting then closed with the singing of "God Save The King." Mr. Mitchell left by the early train for Guelph to attend the funeral of his sister, BarraAiNt-1.-•--See the Ladies' Oxfords, for $1.25 on ,Saturday next, in window at W, J. Guam's, MARRIAGES.
