( The return is but a poor basis for Mr. Meredith's policy of electing county offi-- cers, -- As a rule, a grievance is the only justification for a change. But through-- out dle whole period covered by this return there were only a few cases in which there was any considerable delay in filling vacancies, there was not an instance in which the public interest sutiered because of the delay, and there was not an unfit or unworthy appointment. Germaxs axo Mirk :--It was an unfor-- tunate misunderstanding on the part of a morning Conservative paper by which Mr. Ballantyne was made to say that he knew of German _ settioments _ where the . milk _ |supplied to cheese factories _ was im-- pure to the extent _ of _ seventy | per cent. While it was no doubt in pure mis-- I take that the statement was made, it was one | that Mr. Ballantyne could not allow to go un-- | chfltged. The fmember for South Perth, | so from -- making _ such _ a -- charge against the Germans, _ declares _ that |he has _ the _ management _ of _ two factories in a German settlement, and that he does not believe that anywhere purer milk is ! supplied. All who know anything of the Ger-- ; man farmers of this Province will be disposed l to accept this statement in preference to the one accidentally ascribed to Mr. Ballantyne. They are as honest, as industrious and as prosperous agriculturists as there are in the world, and no one knows the fact better or is | more ready at all times to acknowledge it than | the member for South Porth. enennememenencemvennmenrcontte dA ... e 0_
