Another misstatement js that =a number of tarif agents had put in tenders for the civie insurance on he- hail of non-tariff companies, myself among the number. That is not the case as far as I am concerned, as the city clerk will inform anyone who takes the trouble to ask him. Mr. Wright puts up a big bluff that if T ean produce a document which proves that the English head office of the Union ordered a cancellation of the Kingston risk, he will give £500 to charities: Now my statement was that if Mr. Wright considered himself in- jured by anything I said 1 could pro- duce documents to prove the truth of my statements. Of course,' 1 referred only to matters in which I charged Mr. Wright with mis-statements made by him in the interview reported in the Whig. As to matters outside of his statements in that interview, Mr. Wright tould not possibly have been injured by anything 1 said. But this is simply an attempt to drag a herring over the trail and involve me in a dis- | pute as to a statement not contem- | lated by me, as Mr. Wright very well | any It would, as any sane person can readily understand, be utterly im- possible for one to produce the order whjch the head office in England, as I'am informed on good authority, hey the Canadian manager in treal, directing him to cancel the risk. My statement was made on what I considered reliable authority. Does Mr. Wright deny that the Eng- lish head office of the Union tok a hand in the matter ? If so, witthe Te good enough to tell your readers why the risk was cancelled ¥ He evidently knows why the Union cancelled the risk. Let him give that information to the public. I have made the statement that the English head office directed that it should be done. Let us hear Mr. Wright's explanation, of how it came that Mr. Mortissey, after refusing for fifteen months to cancel the risk, fin- ally did so. Why this long délay, and | BE Wagons.

My statement In regard to this matter' was most guarded, as will be seen when my language is quoted. T said-- "The whole matter was, T hellove, po ! ferred to the head office of the Union in London, England." Surely; the in- sertion of the words *I believe!' makes it quite clear that my statement was founded on information given to me from what 1 considered" a reliable source, and from what I still consider to be a reliable source: If I had any document in my possessiun proving this, I never would hive inserted the words "I believe," in my statement. H 1 had had such a document I lieve," I am not in the habit of using words at random, and when I made the above statement I carefully consid- ered the langu I had chosen to ex. press it; and I inserted the words, I believe," simply because I had no first hand knowledge on the subject. If Mr. Wright will look up the mean- ing of the word "believe" as given by Webster's dictionary he will find it de fined as follows: "To eredit on the au. thority or testimony of another; to be persuaded of the truth of anything up- on the declaration of another, or up on evidence furnished by reasons, ar- guments and deductions of the kind, or by any other circumstances than pertonal knowledge." That was exact- v what I wanted the public to under stand--that I made the statement not | on my own personal knowledge, but on information supplied me from other sources which T considered trustwor thy. My. Wright is the only person that was deceived by my statement ; and I do not think even he was, as I | credit him with having intelligence en- = A Problem Solved.

Indeed, in all my public utterances, whether on the platform or in the press, I have never introduced the personal element, the "argumentum ad homineti."

Ogdensburg, N.Y., Jan. 31.--Engine- ers of the Milwaukee Dry Dock con- 'struction company have furnished plans to the local marine men inter- ested in the St. Lawrence Marine plant so that boats of 2,000 tonnage may be hauled out of the water and repaired. Tugs and boats of small cartying capacity have been handled at the shipyard for several years, but all boats of Welland canal size have had to be taken to Bufiulo, Kingston or Montreal when in need of repairs below the water line. The proposition to build a dry dock here has been discussed for two years, but action has been deferred on ac- count of the large investment re- quired. Action on the plans submitted will be taken this week, and members of the company say there is every likelihood of bids being called for and the work commenced within a month. A dry dock in this city means steady employment to a large force of ship- wrights and calkers, OPPOSE BALFOUR. Chamberlain is the Logical Com- mander. London, Feb. 1.--There has been a great outburst of protest the last two days against the resumption of the leadership of his party by Mr. Bal- four. Several of the most prominent conservative papers have turned a cold shoulder on the ex-premier edi- torially, besides printing scores of let- ters from prominent conservatives, expressing regret that the party is responsible, more than anybody else, for its deplorable state. Mr. Chamber- lain, it is declared, is the logical com mander of the conservative forces in parliament as he stands for some thing and knows how to ficht for his principles while Mr. Baliour stands for nothing better than a cowardly milk and water policy, The question whether the liberals will contest Mr. Balfour's election will be decided on Friday.
