thile we cannot refrain fro m saying that the Reform press show a zeal which is more partizan than public in its char acter, when they almost lose sight of the badness of the system under which pub lic contracts are let. in their desire to attack their political opponents, we must at the same time frankly admit that our Reform friends may have in this in‘ stance fair grounds for complaint). Audifthey could only take Shakes- The Reform press has another scandal. This piece of news is neither new nor startling, but when we say that there are some good grounds for the present one, we venture to think we have said something which puts this scandal out of the ordinary category of opposition scandals. The tender for .he govern- ment printing has been given to Messrs McLean. Rodgers & 00., the old con- tractors, although tbeir tender was con- siderably higher than a number of'others. The firm mentioned are sound Reform- ers, so that they are not favored on political grounds, but, the gravamen of the charges made is that Mr Macintosh of the Ottawa Citizen, whose tender was lower and who'was entitled to the contract, sold out to Messrs McLean‘ Rodgers & Co, tor consideration. This Mr Macintosh does not deny.but claims that he had a perfect right to do so. He also berates his assailants for what he calls their unjustifiable interference with his private business. We are not. dis- posed to especially blame Mr Macintosh, but at the same time we do not hanker after the. contract of defending him. It. may, from his point of view, be private bustness, but as every dollar he gets from the government printers comes dir- ectly out of the pockets of the people, the public will, with some show of reason, insist that they have a fair claim to know something of what becomes of" their money. l We forgive the Reformer rfian for his insane and very wicked attempt to de- stroy our unimpeuchable character by coupling the Hawkeye with this paper. He insinuates that we said Newmai'ket was in Gum Swamp. Well, if the Gum Swampixies are such “warm friends” of his, and he cannot get the idea through his head, we will explain that we meant that little part as a JOKE, but we’ll faithfully prougise never ‘to attempt a joke .with that man again unless there isaehisel and mallet lying around at hand to assist us in performing a surgi- cnl operation. But this kind hearted Jeffery seems rather inconsistent when he stronul; ad- vocates that Nouh York cut itself loose from the rest of the County, and have a County town of' its own,i.c., Newmarket. However, inconsistency is ever the true indication of talent and genius. Has not 'the Refonner man any warm friends in East or West York. Fancy how they must feel over the matter. There is no use in us saving ” we won’t allow it,” (as the Reformer did) for anything that sheet undertakes to bring about is as sure to ccme,as night succeeds the day ; for instance its attempt to elect our es- teemed friend Mr Dymond, etc. The Aurora Liberal Conservative takes a much more sensible view of the question, and we are inclined to think its hopes are more likely to be realized than those of the eminent’ literary character a. trifle nearer to the north pole. The Lord Jeffrey of the North York Reformer decidely objects to the County being carved by the YORK HERALD for the purpose of making Richmond Hill the County town, as he has "some warm friends in Georginia and North GWilliambui'y.” What a great pity we did not think about those friends. Why bless your heart, old fellow, that changes the whole thing. What is the County town to us, compared to those adorable friends of yours ? Nix ! Give us the “friends” we say. Auwmarket.

'] here was also a hesitancy about domg anything in the way of erectâ€" ing new buildings until this matter was set- tled. The amount of assessable property in North York was greater than that in the County of Peel. ’l‘he erection of county b iildittgs for the new county would not he a serious matter, as the county of Dufl‘eriu had received a tender for the erection of theirs for $261000. and there was already as registry office in North York. The cost. of the preposed new county buildings In the present county of York Would be about hult‘a million dollars. end the prospect of such an expenditure had really frightened the people of the North Riding. In the county there were th ee Assizes in the year, so that jur-ymen were in Toronto all the year round.
