To the Editor of TIB roam ;
In last week's Herald appears an
article under Ibis heading from a party
signing himself "Fair Play" but had 135
given his correct name your readers
would know that there was no such
attribute in hie obaraoter. He eboold
have signed bimeett "Bip Van Winkle,"
it would have been more appropriate ss
It is °aid be has been in his shell or hid.
den away for some time. He finds fault
to this dismissal being kept before the
public and blames the tonal pries. I do
nut see how they could do less than they
did and take any notice of it at all.
The Herald says it'e object is to stir up
the Tories to their duty bat some of its
readers mast think and he moat think
he is not let into the eeorete of the party
or he would not have to make the seiner
mule be bas been doing over the Olegg
appointment, the Miller diemiseal and
the reason, and mine and it soma be bee
offended "Fair Play," "Fair Play's"
object is not to correct the Herald but
for the same reason that I have been die•
missed viz ; to satisfy 101e revenge and
have a elate at me. Whitney's reason
was tbat I 'took too active a part in
politics." I wont deny that I took an
active interest iu politics, I did it bemuse
I thought it my dnty ae a citizen and
benne I enjoyed it end 1 always will de,
as I have dose. Bot that your readers
will aorreotly understand the question
and not be mislead I will give them the
faces. I am not appointed by the Liberal
Government but before the Government
bad the appointment or entre' of the
Division Court offices when appointment
was by the County Judge. My appoint
went says "I am appointed during the
pleasure of the Judge of the minty of
Huron and the law is that be oau remove
me from °funs ab pleaenre, giving to
reason" Suoh was Lite law when I was
appointed bat in 188(1 the Goveromeut
took the appointments into their own
County
hands and out of the bandsthe
of
Judges end in doing e0 provided how
such offioere as then held aloe oonld be
removed. The entices are 80 & 31 obap.
60, R. 6. 0. and are as follows :-30.
"The Judge of the County Court may at
pleasure enspend or remove any Clerk or
Bailiff within his own County heretofore
appointed by a Judge." 81. "The
Lieutenant Governor may upon the
report of the Ioepactor or of the County
Judge dismiss from office foe misoondaot
or incompetency any Clerk or Bailiff
heretofore appointed." Your readers
ORO see that the Judge could alwaye have
dismissed me at pleasure. I have been
Bailiff for 27 years and except for 8 years
the Judge of the Oonnty hoe been Tory in
the persona of Messrs. Toms, Masan and
Doyle, all three having been appointed by
Sir John A. McDonald (although Doyle
was raised by Sir Wilfred) and yet I was
not removed. Have always coed the
same in my duties as Bailiff as I did as a
citizen and in politics and during that
time there never was a complaint against
me that I ever heard of for dereliction of
duty as a Bailiff or any other wrong doing
in my office. Under section 81 another
means of removal is provided viz ; by the
Lieutenant Governor, which means the
Government, but it rant be for two
reasons vizi inoompetenoy or misoonanot
and on the report of the Judge or In'
peotor. Now relying on those two
sections se they are the ones governing
my diemiseal (bad I understood that the
holding of the office
a f BzaililifI would
wonld
curtail my g
not bave been Bailiff 24 hours) I
did my duty as Bailiff and sated as a
politician above board. I never did any-
thing
nything as snob that I am ashamed of nor
would not again do and I defy any cue
to name cue corrupt act 1 ever did. The
real reason I have been c Ismisaad was
that I have been a thorn in the aide of a
few local Tories and I will say only a few
as I have as good friends in that party as
Liberals and ones who do not approve of
this action of their party as it was only to
satisfy the revenge of a few on me that I
was removed. They made the report to
the Government, nob the County Judge
or Iuspeotor es the law requires and
when I tell you what the office is worth
you can fully understand their low mean -
nese, For the last five years it has
averaged $68 00 and up to the time o1 my
removal this year the sum of $14 28,
about the same as the defeated ot East
Huron epent for personal savanna in a
2 menthe' canvass of the riding. I think
your readers, eepeoially the Tories wbo
used to howl all over the riding that. Dr.
McDonald was close feted will think that
both some were very liherel for one to get
to be your representative, the other to
say that I mast not exprees my views en
politica or have the right° of citizenship
or 1 will be dismissed from office. Yet
snob are the parties who cow have the
patronage of the riding in their hands.
During the campaign you were told by
the defeated that he was not r bide
bound Tory and untitled to Liberal votes
and in proof he told you he appoin eddm e

George Edwards and family wish to

LAST WEEK'S FIRE.
The topey.turvey condition of things
occasioned by the big blaze on Thursday
afternoon of last week, has been squared
away to a large extent, the majority of
the insurance losses settled, debris (dear -
ed away sod preliminary arrangemnte
made for rebuilding in several instances
and with a mock mare subetantial clave
of structures. Owing to the widespread
obaraoter of the blaze it was necessary to
try and oover as many pointe ae pcssible
with the hose but when J. Conley's
stable, near Queen street, caught and the
Oober Oarriage Worker a few minutes
after there was no possibility of render•
ing them assistant° save by strong arms
and buokete, which was of course in
adequate with the strong galea blowing.
The looses might easily have been largely
augmented had not the greatest care been
taken in fighting off firebraode. There
was 5, tired lot of firemen and citizens
when the shades of evening fell and with
it the welcome rain.

he is attending to the wants of bis
customers. He bad no insurance on the
contrite of bis shop ae it had expired.
It was hoped that R. K. Roes would be
disposed to rebuild 1318 flouring mill but
he has decided otherwise and has sold
the property to Walter Lowry who will
fit it up for a stable to replace the one
be had burned. It will make a0 extra
good one. Mr. Bose will likely take a
well earned holiday before he decides
wbera he will locate as he has stuck very
olosely to work during bis business

bought from W.F. Mann. We hope Mr.
Roes may see his way clear to remain in
