ET To the Electors o Township of Reach. f the ENTLEMEN,--1 respectfully announce myself as a candidate, at the coming elec- ing ther suffrages to return: each to bis pet position ; and d good, bad and indifferent, will base his supporters, and the worst Candidates will as a general thing, make the greatest pala- ver; though their record is as black as perdition, they will put on their canting wiles and appear as innocent as can be, and instead of attempting to clear up their own hil a c each black catalogue they will seek to throw their smut in the face of others. The day has gone by, however, when the sturdy yeomanry of Reach can be bluffed off by the glib tongued, plausible, lick spittle, who only courts office for its casxal advan- tages and retains it for his own selfish pur- poses. These bogus aspirants, however, require watching, They will be first in the field and last in it, they will work lke nizgards to obtain their end, they will say and do everything to gain office ; and the end with them always justifies the meaus. They will get upon all fours and beg from door to door, if necessary, to ac- comphish their unholy purpose ; their motto iv # Get office at any price, and make it tion for the Reeveship of the Township of Reach. At the Nomination, and other meetings to be held previous to the election, Iwill have an op- portunity of stating my views at length on the ® various questions of public interest.

L.| EDITOR Ehe fntavia Flere PRINCE ' ALBERT, DCE. 16, 1869. | | = GROUND TUMBLING, The Port Perry Standard of last week charges us with what he is pleased to term " Ground and Lolty Tumbling." Tt isnot for us to say how mear the truth this may be, but one, {hing mustjbe.obvious to all and any ope at all acquainted with the acrobatys performances of the Standard, will be williog to admit that while he is mnoccnt of lofty tumbling or any thing else of a lofty nature, yet for frequency, extent and depth' of ground tumbling, he cannot be approached, 'in fact he. is remarkable for such feats. Tn the few garbled extracts which he gives from Tue OBSERVER, he | says he has made cut a case, but he does | not believe a bit of it, he is not dull enough to believe anything of the sort ; any cue who knows his right band from his left, must see, even from these extracts, that we bate never deviated one iota during ali this railway controYersy, and it was only | whea {he pilfering commenced that we be. | | | 'pay itself after you get it!" The worthy aspirant, on the contrary, not expecting to gain anything by the officgedbels quite re luetant about accepting of it, and would scorn to wse either trickery or fraud to obtain it ; and he will never be found run- ning down the electors and hounding them to death for their votes. If ri presentation should be in preportion to taxation, and why should it not? then the farmers ought to have four out of five members at the Council Board. For eve. ry dollar of tax that the villagers pay, the farmers pay five. They have the power in their own band and if they do not make use of it the fanlt is their own, A couple of weeks will tell the tale. -------------- ee The Closing Scene. Our defunct Reeve's expiring strangle was perhaps the most humiliating that could well be imagined ~~ Chafing under the mer ited stripes of public indignation, brought upon him by the expose which The Ox. server made of the culpable official blun= dering of himself and bis Lieut. Adam, Joshua and Adam and a [ew more of the baser sort, entered into a conspiracy to ron us so that it might be a lesson to others in future to close their eyes or re- main mum when they see official blunder- ing, or reckless stupidity, even should the whole community have to pay dearly as in the present instance, for said blundering or trickery, Joshua; Adam aod the rest of the fuithful would be only too glad to have Tur OBSERVER out of the way, then they would have their full swing. They might then grind and oppress the rate pay- ers as they pleased, if Port Perry were to reap the benefit Adam's mum model would be conveniently silent. But they will have to wait a little longer, The martyr's plan of attack was this--the Lieutenant was to call the first meeting at Manchester, and | have a resolution passed at said meeting, condemning TBE Osserver for daring to assail their mightinesses ; but unfortunately for the faithful, Adam was too well known and dare not for the life of him let their pet resolution see the light. That meeting was composed of the lionest, industrious yeomanrg of the country and the worthy inhabitants of Manchester, who are above being mude tools cf by Adam, Joshua er [anybody else; so Adam and Joshua met | that full "measure of contempt which thir gon. fodap the guilty paliy wey the Euuek. | perfidity deserved. oiled in this attempt jles and expose] the shameful stupidity and |i ow became Joshua's turn to lay the plot guilt of the transgressors.

The mejor said that he hind nota great deal to say on the matter. He woold only state that the delegation had waited on the contractor and explamned to him what they wanted regardi lie route, and that they found Mr. Domble eourteons and gerntle- manly. He stated tothe commission that the route selected was a capital one and could not well be beat, but for his pant he would offer no objection to the change if it can be shown'that as aond a ronte can be got, or in the-event of its not being so easily | congtrnated at the parties concerned pay for the differenge of the work,he would throw ne obsta nh way f the desired change, and he will be willing erherto send his own engineer or he will beaviliing to take a sur- vey furnished by Mr. Shier or Mr. Yarnold.

The majority of the tarmers, he said, had now made np their minda that they wounld have to pay the $10,000 at any 1ate, and that being the onse, they may aa well have the station in tha most ndvantageons posiiion that can be aot 3 and if the matter 1s placed before the people, he is spre it will carry. Geo.
