I'he Publisher The World, Toronto.
A World reporter took this letter to Mr.
Murphy, and after reading it, that gentle-
man felt that the seal of secrecy on his in-
terview with Mr. (:arrow had been removed
thereby. He therefore consented to make
A statement, having tint read The Star's
article.
" 1 went to (:odench," Mr. Murphy
said, "too examine the girl Laura 4.ordon oe
a declaration made by her in the Daae of
C.arreron against (:Ore and Miller I wan
counsel for (.ore. The girl Gordon is, I
should judge, In the last stages of consump-

feebled condition. Her physician .id that
she could stand a briet examination, but if
protracted he would not be responsible. 1
.w Mr. 1.arrow, counsel for Mr. Cameron,
anti .ked him how long his cross-examina-
tion of the girl would be. I sail that my
examination might not occupy more then
15 minutes. Mr. Garrow stated that his
crows -examination would be very long. l
think he mentioned four hours or more. I
confess that my visit to the dying girl had
awakened my sympathy. 1 ezpn.ed thin
feeling to Mr. (,arrow. 1 said this girl's
evidence was very important to my client,
and must be obtained If the case was to go
on. I then suggested as an alternative that
he should withdraw hie writ and action. air.
(:arrow expre..ed as strong a repugnanos to
subjecting the invalid rirl to a searching
crar-examination as I did, but thought that
hie client would not consent to dropping the
action. However, he offered to sound Mr.
Cameron. We met next morning and Mr.
(:arrow announced his willingness to 'vit.h-
draw the writ and stop the action, each
party to pay his own costs. This we ac-
cepted. It was done entirely from human-
itarian motives. i had not then nor have I
now the least doubt of my client's innocence
of the charge of circulating • slander against
Mr. Cameron."
This was Mr. Murphy's statement. It
will be seen that it contradicts The Star's
article in two Important particulars. The
offer of a settlement came from the defend-
ant's counsel, not from lir. Cameron's side
and lir. Cameron did not assume the oasts
of both sides. The deductions which The
Star makes must, of course, be affected by
the errooeoua information on which they
ars made. We copied the article from The
Star in good faith, as an important matter
of news, and did .o without malice or with•
out intention to unjustly injure him.

sereative journals that have at

private character of M. C. Cameron, ex • M.

editor of The Star wee last week committed
to stand his trial for criminal libel ; The
Toronto World put itself straight at the
fiat opportunity : The Hamilton Spectator
swallowed its statements bodily : The ('iia•

THK ATTACK ON M. C. CAMERON.
Press The London Advertiser.
During the late contest in West Huron,
some of the political opponents of JI. C.
Cameron, circulated • report to the effect
that he had been guilty of the toast scoun-
drelly conduct towards a domestic formerly
employed in his family, who died in this
city some time since. The retailers of the
slender did not have the manliness to maks
the &acus tion boldly on the platform,
wbere they oould be held responsible for it,
and could be proceeded against criminally.
They preferred to deal in inueodoes-to
talk in • " I don't know, bat they say"
kind of way, and by other dastardly meth-
ods, they attempted to injure Mr. Cameron
and make votes for his opponent. The
same tactics were pursued by • section of
the Conservative press, much to their dis-
credit.
ivcredit.
Mr. Camera was in poor health at the
time, and was not able to follow up and
confound his detractors as he has always
been prepared to do. He was defeated by
Mr. Patterson by a small majority under
circumstances that will be laid bare in the
election trial soon to he held. The pone.
cation did not end there. An individual
named gore having since been induced to
father the aocusatioos, Mr. Cameron
promptly took actio for libel against him,
and was prepared to prove his innocence in
a oourt of law. The action was recently
withdrawn, and The Goderich Star, which
had pursued Mr. Cameron with bitter mal-
ignancy, represented that the plaintiff had
taken this actio and had paid the costs, be-
cause he was afraid of the results --in other
word., that he was guilt{yp, of 011 that had
been charged. It r needle.a to say, that 1f
the facts were as represented by this Con-
servative paper they weld give room for
grave sespictoms. As exon as the charges
were thus publicly indorsed by • respooeible
journal, however, Mr. Cameron promptly
took action for criminal libel, and medita-
ted adopting a similar oour.e towards The

M. ('. CAMKRONS CASE -
Homilies Spectator : A year or eo ago
The Spectator received from • mea named
Lore, of Goderich, • letter, intended for
publication. containing (:ore's version of the
Cameron scandal. Knowing (.ore to be an
interested party, and believing him to be
irrespooubde, The Spectator declined to
print the story. But when, the other day,
• statement, bearing upon the same nee,
was found in The Toronto World, copied
from The Goderich Star, • newspaper
printed on the spot, The Spectator took it
for 'Treated that the story had foaudprNoa
in fact. It now turns out that The .
statement that Mr. Cameron had wi rains
his libel suit and paid costs was altogether
untrue. Indeed the withdrawal of the suit
was proposed by Gore's counsel, and was
reluctantly agreed to by Mr. Cameron sole-
ly on the ground that M did not wish to
disturb the lad msostents of • dying girl,
and possibly hasten her death. It is almost
incredible that • reputable newspaper, such
es The Goderiob Star has waned to be,
should make so grave an soces•tios without
first aaswring Dwelt of the •bsofete truth of
the awry. A newspaper ea be eat•in of
the correctness of the local matter in its
columns ; but every journal must depend
