In the daily papers of lest week I not.
iced that Sheriff Reynolde had been
appointed Returning Officer for Eaet
Heron on the Referendum to betaken on
Deo. 4th. Aethie is the second time thie.
year that the Sheriff hag been appointed
in (hie Riding ie would appear that when
the Government appointed a man to a
remunerative position they also feel
bound to give him all the plume that are
going. We are not finding fault with our
Sheriff, we know him to bo a oapable
man but we do find fault with the system
which gives government ofiioiale every-
thing
verything that is going, We thought when
we returned our member' by 450 of, a
majority the government would give some
credit for having some capable and hard•
working men in. the party but it seems
they do not think we have one capable of
acting as Returning Officer. Mr. Editor,
I think it le too bad that men of the
riding of East Hurou are peeled;over and
tbe positions given to outsiders, We
have men among tie who have taken the
-platform for- years, on behalf of the
Reform Government ; men who bave
gone through the riding perfecting tbe
organization ; man who are thoroughly
oapable of taking any position and yet
they are forgotten until an election is
approaching and then they are eplendid
fellows. Mr. Editor, this is not a can of
sour grapes for as you are aware I have
have not yet got even a vote but wait I
may have one anon and than —. I am
well pleased to Beethetathe government
is praotieing economy in regard to the
Registry office at Goderioh. They have
in the paet three veare folly demonstrat-
ed to the publio that an appointement is
nnneoessary now and that the feee ann
