The people 01 Fenelon Falls and the rest of the county will remember that I placed $100 in the hands of the chairman of the Fenelon Falls meeting, Mr. Thou. Robson, and publicly challenged Col.

The money lay for months in the hands of Mr. Robson. No reply could ever be obtained to the challenge. AN 'Expuunlou'ro THE PUI no as THE HUGHES' LETTER _ (To the Editor of Free Press.) Dear Sinâ€"There has been “bibli- ed in the pubic pms of the ton a letter by Col. ' Sam Hughes, address- ed to me. The letter is so you!!! insuting and indecent in its terms that it will receive no answer from me. The public, however, deserve an explanation. Four years ago 001. Hughes made a _de!iberate attempt Until Hughes takes up this chal- enge I shall not attend any meeting of his. I would be pleased to dis- cuss political quotations with any- one, but to enter into a contest A vituperation and personal abuse is a thing I certainly will not do. - In 1904 I took occasion to reply and refute the slanders circulated against myslef. and I went no further. In the present campaign I have taken occasion to criticize the address that he is circulating among. the people. In my humble judgment the Liberals of Haliburton and Victoria have no right to be called, either 'directly (or by insinuation. “boodlers. personat- tors, repeaters. bogus voters. election crooks,” and have so stated. I per- haps stated it strongly, but I think you will agree with me. I believe the general character of the district of Victoria and Haliburton, with com- paratively few exceptions, has been I have stated to the electors that if they take that address and read it. and consider it an honest, fair, truth- ful statement, by all means to vote for Col. Hughes, but on the other hand ,if they believe it false and scandalous. it is their privilege and duty to do otherwiseâ€"Yours truly, R. J. McLAUGI-ILIN. The marriage of Miss A. E.

Sept. 30, at 3 p.m. The bride, who was gowned in white silk, trimmed with Limerick lace and folds of white satin, entered the parlor on the arm of her father to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wed- In no case have I interested myself in Col. Hughes' personal character or personal affairs, neither have I com- mented on him in his business rela- tions. He may serve his employers well, for all I know. The bride was supported by her sister, Miss Maggie Anderson, \who was prettily dressed in white organ- die, trimmed with valenciennes lace. The groom was ably supported by Mr. Wilfrid Short.
