Ridiculous Falsehoods. |... * The veracity of the Toronto Globe never being very conspicuous is utterly rotten on matters political and parties taking advantage of the unscrupulous character of that pap- errun upon it to a shameful extent by sending for publication the most worthless trash not even havin z the merit of being founded on fact. Amongst others, who appoar to take delight in running upon the unfor- perhaps the most silly and extrav- agant falsehoods 'which appears in that common receptaele of untruthful rubbish are crdited to Port Perry. Witness 'the ravings which appear from day to day in' that sheet re-- arding the election contest in North Ontario. Take the meeting held at Utica for instance. The blundering Globe correspondent writing--as he pre: tends--from Port Perry but we do not believe that a man in Port Perry would waste his time writing sue stuft as appears to the credit of Port Perry inthe columns of that politic- al mirage' Here follows a speci- min of the imposition which the Globe seeks to palm of on an unsus. Ping public. Speaking of the Jtica meting it says: -- "Inthe course of an earnest addrens, lasting about an hour and a half, Mr. Gordon carried the sympatbies of the great bulk of the meeting and was greetep with T d rounds of cheers while speaking and on resuming his seat. Mr, Gordon's friends af length rose in a body, and left the house to Mr, Gibbs," It would be difficult to guess what acod the Globe can expect to derive from the publication of nonsence ; it cannot be that any one present at that meeting would so far misrepro sent facts as 1o assert "that Mr. Gordon éarried the sympthios of the bulk of the meeting" ~ Every one present at that meeting will bear us out in the statement that at least three out of every four of the eloc- tors present were supporters of Mr. Gibbs. Among the mass of rubbish the communication contains wne truth. Mr. Gordon and his friends being completely discomfitted rose in abody and lett the house." This | was the greatest mistake they could | have committed, for in doing so they | changed what otherwise would have { been only a defeatinto a a route 3 | er they exposed the small {ness of their number; for when they | had Ieft the house, boys and all, the house appeared nearly as fall as it was before they: left. More bosh, this time it is some Uxbridge chap who is seeking to im- pose' upon the unfortunate Globe | whose last glimmering of veracity [its numerous correspondents appear determined to quench ;: the Good wool meeting is the theme of the Uxbridge man's discourse and is about as near the truth as the | Utica farce. The veracious corres- pondent claims at least three-fourths of the meeting as being in favor of Mr. Gordon while the fact is that if the real votes ot the house had been polled the result would have been the other way. But they. may rave away, the safe return of Mr. Gibbs by a large ma- jority is beyond all doubt and our policyless opponents are only mak- ing bad worse by misrepresentation. ------ Dedicatory Services.
