Sir,—I enclose herewith a copy of a letter which I this morning addressed to the Editor of the Patriot, and which that gentleman refused to publish. 1 beg to re- quest that you will do me the favor of in- serting “it in to-day’s issue of THe Ex- AMINER. Yours, &c., RicHarRD WALSH, Manager Herald. June 26, 1886, To the Editor of the Patriot, Sir,—In yesterday's Patriot, under the editorial heading, ‘*The Circular you speak of having been shown a circular which you say, you understand, was printed at the Herald Office, and is being sent from that office in thousands over the Island.” As further on in your remarks you call it the ‘‘Platform” [ conclude that you have reference to a document which | was seven weeks ago, and which is denominated the ‘‘New Political Plaform of the Committee appointed by shewn six or you say that this circular was printed at the Herald office, and is being sent from that office in thousands over the Island, you state what is not the truth ; will do the Herald Printing Company jus- tice by giving « prompt contradiction to the incorrect statement to which you have afforded publicity. Imasmuch as certain in- terested parties are asserting that this cir- cular is a forgery, and was concocted in the Herald oftice, 1 wish to say that the circu- lar is genuine, and was adopted in the Orange Hall, Charlottetown, on the 15th of April last, by the following gentlemen : ‘*Brothers Wise, G.M.; M. McLeod, G. S.: T. J. Leeming, P. G. 8.; J. Evans, D. G. S.; and McLeod, with the assistance of Brother J. M. Duncan”; that it was printed at the Protestant Union office, and afterwards was distributed to members of the Orange order. This statement I am prepared to prove, and I call upon any one of the gentlemen whose names | have just used to deny it if they can. Yours, &c., Ricnarp WALSH, Manager Herald. June 26th, 1886. ee Another Repudiation. Srr,—I gave Mr. S. G. Lawson authority whatever to use my name in con- nection with his affairs ; on the contrary, I plainly stated that I blamed him for under- handed work. Mr. Lawson knows full well that no desire whatever to take any part present political contest. Yours, &c., no I have in the Joun Evans. Another Suecessful Islander. WE are pleased to learn that at the com- mencement exercises of the Denver, Col., High School, Mr. A. B. MecNeill—an Island boy—graduated with high honors. Referring to an essay read by Mr. McNeill, the Denver Daily News says :— ‘* Allan Benjamin McNeill isa natural orator, and his delivery of an oration on ‘civics’ was the most interesting and pleas- ing part of the programme. His oration was well prepared, and showed the author to possess a maturer mind than is generally found ina high school. An extract from his oration weuld hardly do it justice, and a passing notice of its excellence can only be made. The leading feature of it was an appeal for a higher statesmanship and citizenship than we possess to-day. He received the distinctive honor of being applauded in the midst of his oration.” The Denver Tribune-Republican says : ‘Mr. Allan Benjamin McNeill’s oration on ‘Civics’ showed careful thought and research, was well written, and delivered with dignity. The intense patriotism of this oration, and the inveighment against {3 itemperance elicited the hearty applause of the audience. Mr. MeNeill’s sentiments did him honor.” | Mr. MeNeill is the second son of the late | Lauchian MeNeill, of Tryon, and has been in Denver for the past seven years, where he is studying for the Ministry of the Pres- byterian Church. He intends going to Princeton, N. J., next summor tb cumplete his studies. the Provincial Grand Orange Lodge at its last annual meeting to foi mulate a political platform.” I de- sire to inform you that when! and I trust you | SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1886. votes. iD.
