In this connection, a few remarks may be permitted concerning the post-election attack

|THE CASE OF MR. QUINN.

Ws have not heard Mr. John |}Quinn mentioned among those for

'whom it is the intention of the | Liberals to ‘‘ do something.’’ This Mr. Quian

| has strong claims upon the powers ‘that be. He has, in connection with Mr. Whear, the recently elect- ed member for Charlottetown, ren- ‘dered the Dominion and Provincial administrations much valuable as- sistance at election times. He has it seems, been of use to Mr. 'Farquharson ia connection with the | hiring of his scow to the Public |Works Department. Mr. Quinn's ‘naturally retiring disposition pre- 'vents his pressing his strong claims upon the Liberals, and we have therefore deemed it advisable to say these few words in his behalf. If provision cannot be made for his association with Rear Admiral | Hobkirk in the fisheries protection service, er with Mr. MacKenzie in |the Registry Office, he might at | least be appointed assistant to | Mr, Norman J. Campbell, the hard- worked Inspector of Licenses.
