LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

~ —#--~

_ Siz,— With many of my neighbors, I was induced, at the time of the last Dominion Election, to support the Grit candidates— Messrs, Robertson and Mclutyre. By designing men we were then persuaded that Sir John’s Government was on its last legs; that Mr. Blake was sure to win the day, when lots of cffices would be at the dis- posal of Grit members; and that Free Tradé, pure and simple, was about to be established in Canada for all time to come. The election was scarcely over before we discovered how grievously we had been de- ceived. Every Province in the Dominion, except P. E. Island, sent a majority to support Sir John, giving him a majority of over seventy, at the lowest calculation And then, too, we found that we had been betrayed with regard to the Grit candi- dates. In the first placa, Dr. Robertson proved to be only a make-believe candidate. It is true, he told us he had resigned his seat in the Local House, and too many of us took him at his word, only to find out the gross deception he had practised, in trying to gain a seatin the Dominion House of Commons, while holding, to all inten‘g and purposes, a seat in cur Local Parlia- ment. Being an ineligible candidate al) our trouble, therefore, in his behalf, went for nothing. lam aware that a few per- sons for party purposes now try to make him a sort of political martyr; but, touse a somewhat common expression, the attempt is too thin. With his political friend, Mr. Perry, M. P. P., he knew right well that he had not resigned his seat in the Local, How could he then, in the face of his illegality of local representation, expect to take his seat at Ottawa? Instead of sympa- thising with him now in his present posi- tion, I, for ome, feel like resenting the trick he endeavored to play, on the very first occasion that offers. As for Dr. Mc- Intyre, although I voted for him lest election, I never admired him either as 9 politician or otherwise. “Laxgely aided by ‘* black duck” agency he gained his election, and is now in_ receipt. of his $1,200 a year, while many who helped to put him where he is, have only his fine anti-election promises to comfort them. But then all are not entirely forgotten by him, for some of his supporters receive from time to time copies of Blake’s speeches and other literature, chiefly relating to the Northwest—the latter being intended, no doubt, as a gentle hint that if he cannot do anything for them in the way of fulfilling his promise they can go to—the North- west or some other equally cool country. And it is, perhaps, worthy of note that even these small favors are duly ap- preciated, and have been publicly acknowl- edged through the Patriot by one or two of his humble admirers. This sort of thing may satisfy a few of his foslowers; but the great bulk of ‘his supporters throughout the County naturally expected something better. There are branch rail- ways to be built, lighthouses to be erected, rivers to be dredged, breakwaters to be constructed, and many other matters of vital importance to our County to be at- Instead of distributing worth-

pense, our Grit representatives at Ottawa should join hands with our Conservative members, and, regardless of party allegi- ance, work for the best interests of the County. More patriotism and less parti- zanehip is what is needed among supporters of the present Opposition, both in our Local and Dominion Parliaments. Yours, etc., One OF THR DECEIVED.
