Tus Patriot deems it necessary to inform the public that Judge Kelly 1s preparing sheets of the list of voters in Prince County, to be printed at Tur Examiner Office. It insinuates that political influence had to do with this, and declares point blank that it “is not fair for the Journal.” But the fact that Mr. Coombs is printing the list of voters for Queen's County, may be taken as proof that the Dominion Government did not interfere in the matter; and as no one complained when Mr Brennan came down to Charlotte- town and set up an opposition shop hera, we feel sure that Mr, Brenuan, at least, will not complain because a job of Prince County printing has been sent to THE Examiver Office. In trath — aad it is well that the Patriot and the public should know the fact—we get the work simply because we are able to do it. We employ only first-class workmen, possess first-class material, attend to business,and are determined togive satisfaction. While we appreciate highly the confidence oe
atronage of the Judges and Governors of the and, we also value highly the orders of our merchants and the public generally. Not only orders for lists of voters, but fer biilheads, letterheads, handbills, posters, and even com- mon, vulgar and little but ueeful coner, are thankfully receive and carefully attend toby Tue Examiven.
