Come again Bro. Holmes, and we will be profoundly thankful for your assistance. Did you hear it? -113, * * * —A largo number of Wingham Liber- als, thoroughly disgusted with the Ross Government, must have dropped their ballots for honest government. With them, it was time for a change. * * * —The Wingham Times published a dirty, scurrilous item last week regard- ing the editor of this paper, and in doing so reproduced a tissue of barefaced false- hoods. Those who try to injure the reputation of others should be sure that their own past record will at all times bear the light of day. A word to the wise is sufficient. * * * —The "Liberator" has the following estimate of Robt. Holmes, M. P., of Clinton: "The desperate straits that the introduc- tion of this question drove the Government party to is evidenced in the activity of Robt. Holmes, M. P„ who poses as a tem- perancetotes i and isltoown polledmanythat 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." Ali! Bro. Holmes, the Advance is not the only one to assist in tearing oft' the mask. Tho "Liberator" sizes you up correctly—"neither conscience, principle nor reputation," etc. Why don't you get iu a passion at the Liberator? Or, are you up against a stone wall? * * * —Robt. Holmes, M. P., was very angry last :Week, judging from the venom he manifested in the notice he gave the editor of the Advance. Phew, you could almost smell the sulphur fumes from the scurrilous item he penned in the frenzy of his rage. If space per- mitted we would dissect his abusive paragraph sentence by sentence. Suffice it to say that in thirty-eight lines, he crowded nine bare -faced falsehoods, which we challenge him to prove or stand convicted. One of his plaints is that we supported Major Beck. Of course we did, because the same dis- honest machine that elected Holmes cheated Beck out of his honestly -won seat, no least twice. Here is a sample of Holmes' ravings: "lle (referring to the editor of the Advance) would support his Satanic Majesty, if the party brought him out." No sir, never 1 When you penned 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. We suspect ho is on your side, if we can judge by the ballot -switching, ballot - stuffing your party have disgraced the Province. with, la. glance at the evidence in your own election would medicate 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 -9S 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 aro you corning to? No wonder the Liberator says "neither conscience, principle, nor reputation," etc. Their 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." Would you really? Well, if you are thirsting for the knowledge, we 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. Holmes, have yon met Miss Wiggins on the plat- form yet? Bluevale. Mrs, Fred. McCracken of Brussels is visiting her mother, Mrs, J. Gardiner, this week, F. B.

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 reeponcled to the encore received. Rev. Dr. Chown, of Toronto, delivered a very fine ad- dress. His 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.
