Yours, F. B. Soon. Brussels May 29th, 1905. 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 to aSiee which wart tale se I was appoiut- ed before be eat in (Ninny Donnell.

Quite -a Dumber from outlying towns Dame to town to have a eteve3 of the damage. The reports received at some pointe were greatly exaggerated as to the extent of the blaze. Thuell Bros. carried no insure -nae on their stable and coal hoase. Geo. Edwards was the same as far as his foo. tory was 000erned and Jno. Oooeley was ditto with his stable. • Shed and barn room for horses is at a premium and the Central hoe been taxed to overflowing almost every day while the oburoh sheds and private stables have been celled into r,goisitioo. A gentleman was here from Manitoba the day after the fire wanting to pnrehese tw oarlonde of boegiee from the Oober Carriage Factory. Of course the order bad to be declined. George Edwards and family wish to thank the kind people who sided in the saving of their property on the day of the fire. Had it not been far their energy the lose would have been mush heavier. Ib net the town $22 00 for the Liao. wel Fire engine and members of the brigade. The epeaial train from Palmerston, necessary to convey the Lietowel contingent here, will bave to be settled for also.

In some oaeee it would bave been as well to let them barn ae to be damaged irreparably. Mrs. Grieve, who was the tenant ot Mrs. Sheriff's house, M111 street, had no inenranee and lost ooueiderahle of her household effects upstairs. She wishes to thank the kind friends who assisted in the removal of ef#ots saved. Messrs.

He escaped fairly well for nob a tumble, suffering a bruised heel, elbow and a scorching that effected his eyes, 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.
