From the slanders of such as you, I have nothing to fear, and I may say, in conclusion tliat 1 am not afraid to meet you on the platform or on the hustings at any time or in any place you may think proper.

The Comedy of Errcrs.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

S1x,— Your issue of yesterday contains a letter from Councillor McLean explaining away certain informalities in his returns as presiding officer at the late Civic election in Ward Five.

I found no fault with Councillor Me- Lean for giving any explanatiens which will * assist him in putting himself right before his fellow citizens,” so long as it is done in the spirit of feirplay. It is quite another matter when he deviates from that course and attempts by a disingenuous line of argument to involve others in the labyrinth of errers and mistakes committed by himself,

Councillor McLean denies that I ‘ re- winded him of his neglect to sign the oath.” In this his memory does not serve him. He may, perhaps, modify his opinions on the subject on a perusal of the

followi ing correspondence :—

CHARLOTrETOWN, Jan. 30 1982, Samuel McRae, Esq.

DEAR Six,—As you were present at closing of che poll for Ward Five at the Civie Election fer Mayor, ané? in the reom when I administered the oath to Councillor McLean when making his return, will you be good enough to furnish me, in writing with a statement of w hat you recollect reyarding the matter, and much oblige,

CHARLOTTETOWN, Jan, 31, 1882, James MeDonald, Esq.

DEaR SiR.- In reply to yours of yester- day’s date, I bey to say that after your ad- ministering ‘he eath to Mr. MeLew as Re- turning Officer for Ward Five, on the ocea- sion referred to, I distinctly recollect your asking bim to subscribe his nom. to the re- turn; that you pointed out to him the line jat the foot of the document; tha®he declined to sign it, alleging that the Mayor’s signature should have becn there and not his; and on your expressing your surprise and asking him if he did not think that that would invalidate the election, Mr. Mel an declared that he ** would make it all right.’

urs respec tfully, SAMUEL McRag.

If you, Mr. Editor, ad in your foot- note to Mr. McLean’s letter mentioned Captain McRae as one of your informents as well as mys lf, | would not have deemed this correspondence necessary. I hope, however, as there has been already too ‘“Much Ado About Nothing,” we have heard the last of this ‘‘ Comedy of Errors.” Jas. McDonaxp. | Charlottetown, Jan. 31, 1882.

The first question discussed was, ‘* Which mode of farming is the most remunerative to the farmers of this Island—the system of

| discussion the debate was postponed until a ‘future evening. The werght of argument, however, went to prove that stock raising, and using up the crops raised on the land jin fess ding stock and sending all surplus |produce to market in either live or dead jineat, was not only the most remunerative | to the farwner, but was the best mode of | farming for this Island.

The subject for debate proposed for next Oe evening was, ‘* Burter and cheese factories
