We all, at lend thane Who know him know that when he gets on his politics' glaeeee he will get wide of the mark and will state things as truth, not from hie own I nowiedge but that be is ignorant of ,and which are false and which be has in bbie instance. I am not going to disease politica with him at present or nay much about that dismissal, IIad I been left alone I never would ae I have loet no aleep over it. To prove my aasertion I will emote one abatement be bas made ae a sample of ;tie article and show that what I have aeeerted is the Daae viz, : that be ie ignorant abort what he is Flaying and Mates what is false ; - •iie eay5 oWhy man alive be is 31,700 ahead of any Coneervative in Bruaeels."

It the total tees drawn by the Oon- eorvativee were added together you will find that for every dollar reoeived by a Liberal $25 went to Ooneervativee and yet Jae. Bolger talks as if it was only fair play that Liberals should stand aside to give Coneervativea a obanoo, even by diamieeal, I allow your readers to judge whether I have proved my cower.
