her own enterprise has achieved, 25 not too much to maintain. We have little sympathy with the blustering element, neighboring republic, Cangda has done nothing of which she needs to be ashamed. The enjoyment of her rights, and of the independence which at other points at which they have recently addressed the electors upon public affairs, their utterances have been moderate and dignified, and have won the respect of their hearers. The “unseemly attack on Mr. Lnurier for his candid statement at St. Thomas,” complained of, and their discussion of the several public questions of which heis the exponent, were a fair and‘ natural criticism of the utterances and policy of an opponent. \Vhatever Mr. Laurier‘s abilities as an orator may be. or the wisdom of the policy which he is urging with all the power of his eloquence upon the attention of the electors, his “candid statement at St. Thomas” is entitled to no kindlier re- ception at the hands of his opponents than it received at the hands of the Toronto Globe.

A high compli- ment, however, has been paid by our contemporary to the “great attraction of the 6th inst.” If our memory serves us aright, another “attraction,” backed up with unreStricted reciprocity and‘ the name even of our contemporary upon the bills, failed to “draw” to 3 Spot 9 miles from Beaverton in a. larger proportion than one to ten. It makes all the difference in the world which has the ten, and which has the one; and the “true inwardness" of the editorial of our Reform contemporary thnsiasm which prevailed throughout the day, after the reasons for the absence of the Premier had been given, is evidence that the 5,000 odd electors who assembled to do honor to M r. Madill and the occasion did not share in the Opinions of our contemporary. The average Canadian elector has not yet become so blind through the train~ ing of the extreme party journals, that Ordinary courtesy, however, might have dictated a more refined, not to say more manly, criticism of the affairs of a neighboring community than the one to which our Reform contemporary treated its readers in its last issue. Passing by the long list of slang terms, by no means cleverly applied, with which the editorial in questiOn was so‘ freely spiced, we protest against the unmanly insinuation that the name of Sir John Macdonald was advertised by Mr. Frank Mmlfll and his energetic committee of management for the pur- pose of imposing on the public.
