M1131: the +30" '10-: o...,.‘ DEAR Sm.-â€"-’l‘here is one part of Mr. MoKenzie‘s letter that deserves a reply at my hands viz.. that referring to my having regretted that more violaters o! the law were not imprisoned. I have to acknowledge myself to be partly in the wrong and I trust I shall always be ready so to do when such is the case. Permit me now to draw your correspondent and your readers' attention to my reply to Dir. Hamilton‘s letter in which I care. fully made a distinction between per- sonal feelings against violaters of the law and regrets that the law is not thoroughly enforced. The words are “It is the business not the men to which 'we are opposed and personally, I have no regrets when I see him, (Mr. Hamil- ton) walking the streets. But we do feel keenly the insults heaped upon the Scott Act by so-called temperance men, when those appointed to enforce the law are false to their duty. In the letter of Jan. 6th, the words “we regret to say out of 1475 informations and 936 convictions. only 6 transgreSsors were imprisoned" [We do not hold ourselvw‘vsponaible 10: the opinions of our con-m oudeuts.| To the Editor 0! Tm: Expnzss : vua V UIIIHDVIUUVIV‘Q VI Ugv .wrnmuvuw hady referenceU not to any feeling of per- sonal regret that different parties were not in the county jail but to the non-en- forcement of the law. When Mr. Mo. Kenzne made his statement I suppose he referred to what I had written about trials and violaters in our own district and my denial was made with reference to that, not even recollecting at the time that the words had been used in treating of the general results throughout the county. Were my own character alone at stake. I would treat the rest of the letter with the silent contempt it merits, but for the sake of the cause I have somewhat publicly advocated and ‘knowing it may for a time be damaged by such statements, I shall refer to the McRae and Pefferlaw incidents, not that false rumors will be stopped, the nimble llie though met by truth at every turn will not down but like the waterfowl will disappear to rise again from the lowest depths and carry on its work of slander and defamation. In July last Dr. Grant ordered spirits for my wife during a dangerous illness, obtaining one pint for her himself and telling me to get more for her. When I went to Mr. Mcliae‘s, it was simply with the wish to carry out his instructions. I do not now recollect fully the exact ccurse followed, but Dr. Grant will certify to the main fact that he instructed me to get spirits for Mrs. Moyle and I am sure that Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Gillespie will bear willing witness that it was not used for a tipple among sneaks as the Bea- verton correspondent of the “Orillia News Letter" suggests. Regarding the Pefierlaw incident it is a lie and the originators ofit areâ€"-. ' I will simply say I never saw that place and have never on anv occasion since coming to Beaverton purchased liquor or had it given to me, except that just referred to at Mr. McRae's. I did not deny the rumor when Mr. McKenzie and also law. yer Madill sought to use it against me iii discussion because I did not think it worth doing so, they would like to keep me busy making such denials, if thereby they could prevent me from pushing the Scott Act question but I do not intend to be blufied olf in that manner. Lastly as to signing a ledge with Mr. McKen- zie, if he is really in earnest and thinks it can do him any good. I will gladly do so and will be pleased to include any extension of the ordinary pledge that may be a blessing to him or to any of his friends and would suggest it to be so drawn out as to prohibit the signer from going to places, where. or making friends of those by whom \the Act is daily and determinately violated. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the privilege of stating the truth, I would just say. I desire in future to deal not with private character but with the great public ques- tion, the principle of which our member supported by his vote at Ottawa last Lite And. Death In Great Cities.
