Sir:-As one wllo was present at,

thc meeting at. Hunter River last' Tliilrsilay night I was amazed to rcad in ir,-irlay’s Patriot that the meeting was “decidedly in favor of the Liber- als." To show ydll how decidedly Lib- eral it was I might say that when Mr- Gec. E. Hughes arose to speak ho was interrupted to such an extent Mid glvon so thoroughly to urlderulimll they had no use for him that it was only on the intervention of the chair- man tliat he got a hearing M all- Mr' Hughes, who was naturally irritated bythe evidently antagonistic tone of the meeting. said petulailtly "If V011 doli't want to hear nie, I’ll go homo. I'nl tired anyway alld will be iililil i0

It is not thc habit of lluiltcr ltivcr

people to interrupt any speaker at it public meeting but on this occasion they very plainly evinced their dis- gust at unfounded Liberal charges. Ill my opinion the meeting was anything else but “decidedly Liberal.

there appeared it lolit:-wilitlcil rolloar- sal ol' the coilinloll Grit-howl iltlniitly cxtisvugl-iilce in the Govcriliilciit llc- partnlcnts. This time thc lit-pt. oi' Agriculture coinos ill for i1 share oi' Mr. Brodie's righteous illiligilafoli. Poor mall, hc is doing ills bit, though it must be with some twiiigcs oi' coil- scieiice (if illdeed the ordinary Grit individual possesses such a commodity ), to calumiliate the best Government, led by the best leader, that this Pro- vince or indeed ally Province of this Donlinion has ever seen or ever will see.

To begin with, Mr. Brodie quotes

a long list of items from the Public Accounts conccriiliig the salaries of the officials of the Dept. of Agriclil- ture. Now he has. in reality, told ua- nothing tllat we did not know before, There are however a few niinor dc- screpancies ill his statements wliivli show that even the righteous hir. Brodie cannot keep straight along the line of facts. He says first tilnt Miss H. McDonald's salary for ton months was $418.57. Tile Blue Iiuoks say that the salary for tell and it hull months was 418.57. He says that tilt- expenses of W. Cass und otliors were 385.52. Accounts say tllut tile salary and expenses of those nlcii were $385. 52. He says that lt. Robertson rci-_civi-il his salary for two illoliths; cxpcllscs $15. Now Mr. Robertson gave his scr- vices to the Live Stock Judging Clus- ses for which he received ills salary. The $15 mentioned by Mr. Brodie ns Mr. Robertsoirs expenses was really the expense of the classes. The above while of no very great important-o show that the nleall Grit spirit of misrepresentation is not dead yet. lt is characteristic of the wllole Grit combiile from its colltenlptiblc loader downward to its colltcmptlblc rank and file.
