Sinâ€"We are sorry to notice that our good friend, Mr. G. F.

Now is your k.....-~..â€"â€"â€".- However, we kindly ask our good friend Mr. Bruce to accept .our thanks for his fairness during his incumbency as overseer. and in do- ing this, we will congratulate our neighbor, Mr. James McGirr, for the choice made by Col. Hughes of West Victoria as successor, to Mr. Bruce for the position in question. section. I might say that the position was one numbered with other prizes by the present gOVernment previous to their election in both N. Simcoe and West Victoria, and each had reason to believe that the same would be theirs, and naturally both counties claimed this gem as there were many aspirants. So when the cry of vic- tory went up, this gem, with others went into the great scales of fairâ€" ness, awaitin: the weights of Tory- ism, and so it was after all those compliments were exchanged, peace « seemed to reign, and each felt that -. they could trust their captain; but‘ in a way that only the C01. and Mr. Sharpe can explain, the hand of “justice" was brought to bear on] this good man, and he was found wanting by the weight of Toryism. So in a most mysterious wayâ€"a way that only a trained soldier could explain, these regulars of Simcoe sati in their rooms of comfort toasting their shins, being flattered by their ‘ past achievements, and awaiting the i return cf their captain. When the. ‘ great voice of militarism sounded its ; muffiing tones â€" tones that only a regular of experience whose ears ; had been trained by his Col. sprang ' forth and claimed the prize and in a ‘storm that history has no record of, jcame rushing into this humble vil- élags. In view of the peculiar cir- icumstances which surround this case, 'and the fact that all fairness has ’been shown by the two Sams, we gsincerely trust that when the stew- ‘ardship of our neighbor, Mr. Mc- Girr, may be asked, as it‘was in this case, that he may be able to make that same honest and con-l scientions statement that he did hisl best as far as it lay in his power, ‘ rezgardless of party. 1 (Special to The Post.)
