Thomds Greenway, now leader of the Opposition in the Manitoba Legislature, but a former well-known resident of Hur. on county, has boon approached three times by a member of the Norquay Gov. eremnant of that province and asked to enter the Cabinet.

A badman and a had cause generally, I may say invariably, requires to bo sup- ported old bolstered up by bad means. The truth of this statement will be at 01180 apparent to anyone who reads the opening sentence of Adam Good's latest produotion in THIS Poe,. In my advertisement of the previous week, I stated that if he would say that it was neither me, nor my leather that he so offensively alluded to, I would at once apologise for having alluded to him es I did. Now, in his statement, to serve a bad purpose, he bas had re00uree to a moan and contemptable subterfuge. He omits altogether to state the condition on which I offered to apologise, and endea- vor to make it appear that I had submit- ted unconditionally. This la a fair speci- men of the dishonest and mendacious manner in which he bas acted throughout the whole of this controversy. It is not deemed polite nor proper to say in the columns of it newspaper that a man isa liar, but I would just beg to re- mind Adam Good that a subterfuge is generally regarded by honest minded people as standing in the close relation- ship of first oonsin to a lie. I have already stated that I would neither lower nor stultify myself by entering into any oontroverey with him regarding our reepeotive qualifications as judgeses of leather. To enter into a dis- pute on that subject with an individual whose intelligence on that subject is so purely imaginory, as Adam's must bo, would, in my opinion, be neither profit- able to myself nor interesting to others. Hie egotistic bumptiousness on this sub- ject reminds me of what a woman (I think she must have been a relation of Adam's) once said to mo in Toronto. I was selling her a pair of shoes, and happened to make some remark to her regarding their quality, "0h," she said, "You needn't tell me anything about them have a sister married to a elan that wI h, orksv in a shoe foctory, and I know all about leather." I am rather inclined to believe that if Adam's knowledge of leather, and hors were put into opposite scales they would make a pretty even balance. Good, then proceeds to say that I start- ed to discuss leather, but that now I want to discuss him: I have no need to shun any discussion on leather, my material will bear discussion and comparison with any stock of leather in the county, and compare favorably too. My reputation as a shoemaker stands too high through- out the County and my work is too well known to be assailed successfully by the petty malice of Is man like him. Ani- mated by a spirit of jealous spite, and goaded to madness by the failure of his selfish and ambitions projects, there is nothing he would not stoop to if he would only succeed in injuring my business prospects and destroying the confidence that exists between the and my =stom- as. Every sentence he has written bears ample evidence of tho malevolence of his intentions, and of the truth of my statement. I never commenced to discuss leather nor him either, until he nada that mal- ioious attaok ou me and my loather is the second issue of TUE POST after the Show. I beat him squarely at the Fair. My work and material were vastly superior to anything he could show. The two First Prizes were awarded to me and the only legitimate prize awarded to him was one second for coarse boots. Fine boots he durst not show, he knew he had not the ghost of a chance with that elan of work. He could not plead lack of time, for hie two mon wore working short time from tho beginning of summer until a week or two before the show. The trump- ed up story of Knsobtel making a display- ing statement to him about my leather is a brazen faced and impudent perversion of facts, circulated for the express pur- pose of injuring me. Bad motives emanate from bac! hearts ; Bad hearts and distorted mental vision are seldom found apart. Faults in the heart breed errors in the brain, And these reciprocally those again. The mart who =eke to injure the repu- tation of another, to benefit himself, is the meanest man the sun looks down up. on, In the majority of oases, however, the very means they adopt to injure oth. Os rebound bank' upon themselves. The intention of Good's adamants and insinuations throughout this controversy, have been too transparently clear, and too obviously maligned to seriously af- fect the opinion of anyone. I have no wish to continuo further this discussion. I have neither time nor in- olination' for ouch work, but Good com- menced it, and if he wishes to be lot alone he must be the first to stop it. He will find it knelt more profitable in the long run, std I should think pleasant too, to mind his own business, and allow other peoplete mind theirs. %Tao>o Shand., �raaoseiMre�anssu insmiva,4nntsm. .
