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."

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,
