*An Elector” Heard From.

Sixr,—As Hon. Mr. Haviland is again a candidate for the ctlice of Mayor, perhaps it would not be out of place at the present time to ask him to let us know what class of people he referred to as the “‘ruff and ecrull of the town,’ when speaking in the Market Hall on the night of the late Scott Act election. It is now weil known that among those who voted against the Scott Act were many of our best citizens; and that many of those who supported the Act, illegally sold and bought intoxicating liquor. Who, then, are the “ruff and the scruff ¢”

t observe that che Patriot calls Mr. Hav- land ** the apostle of temperance.” This is rich, in view of that yertieman’s conduct in respect tothe Stauley dinner. I am giad that we have 8 geuuine temperance man in the field for Mayor. I mean Me. Juhn P. Taunton. Ihave no use for the man who keeps all kinds of lquor in his cellar while he preaches temperance in public; and would advise the electors to beware of him.

Mr. Havilaad apparently igneres the Catholic vote of the city. He has been brought out by ten men, not one of whom is a Catholk. This being the case, it looks very much asif Catholics were the ‘*ruff and scruff” he referred to at the famous ** Thanksgiving meeting” in Mar- ket Hall. Had Mr. Haviland thought otherwise he surely would have consulted some of them previous to coming cut.
