To the Editor of THE Pose
Sir,—I thank you for inserting my let-
ter in your last issue. Having added
y
1 oritiaiema I feel ear
your valued wire you
will be fair enough to give me my reply.
At the time of writing my first letter I
was totally unaware of the fact that you
formed one of the Go. Council and I
admire your generosity in publishing my
letter. Your remarks upon the same
however, show plainly how hard my letter
mast have hit you. I felt sure that any-
body who had voted against that grata,
when they came to oelmer moments and
riper jadgment, would feel, that if they
had their time over again they would do
differently. It was a mighty small piece
of business to Bay the least of it, No
other proof is needed, that my published
opinions must have made 70140111100,11110
is to be toned in thereat that you describe
my letter as "ill-bred Billingsgate aritf.
dm." The plainest terms I used were
"niggardly parsimony", "meanesa", and
the like. I doubt if the able editor of the
Posr has ever so far before forgotten
himself, or ever mill agate, as thea describe
the language I have quoted. Y0ar8 etc.
Clinton, Jane 14. John Raoslord,
Nora Er Eniron,—How mild and bean•
tilnl the above bat Mr. Ranalord need
not flatter himself that his former epistle
caused ns to have regrets over the Co.
Council vote as we have nd doubt were it
to be taken again it would be more pro-
nounced. Some people are very gener000
with public funds, especially if it suite
their own purp.ee, ton where the County
taxpayers would benefit by granting Clin-
ton, or any other town, 9100 of $200 to
eoter4sio their guests la not clear to the
majority of the County Council who
voted Nay. Mr. Ranelord thinks "it was
a mighty small piece of bnsinese" and of
eouree he has a right to his Opi0100 but
be willerha s allow th
P P
o s Co. Councillors
to think for themselves an these mallets
and while they may have "very email
souls," at 011340g to their critic, we will
gaarantee that none of them are tronbled
with "big bead" worse then Mr. Rens-
ford. We notice that the Clinton Era
man la also sad at heart at the "narrow
spirit" of the Co. Coonail and think that
"they have not raised themselves io ppb.
1!c estimation." Well, Mr. Ere, yon
could not very well do anything elee bet
kick a 111118 ; it is your own town ;
that you were one of the delegation to
the Co. Connell ; and you mast stand in
with the Chairman of the Reception
Committee but there are other maniei-
polities in the County who have some-
thing to say in the "estimation" busioese
besides either Clinton or Goderich. No
doubt the Co. Gooncillore are willing to
abide by their judgment in the question
without taking their cue from those who
are so broad spirited that they want the
honor of doing the generous at aha ex.
pease of the County.
