man,” He snivels on the first line by saying, “It gives us no pleasure," &c.,and ends in almost a wail by trusting he will not be called. upon to again refer to ”this very painiul subject," meaning, of course, the late assessment bungle. No doubt it will be news to many to learn that lie is capable of realizing either pleasure or pain, but be that as it may, it is a well-known tact that he is steeped in malice and bloated with the venom of a rattlesnake. We have stated the facts or the case so often that a repetition is unneces- sary, nevertheless the Herald man reiterates his charges that we are “ assailing the assessor.” Two weeks ago we asked him to pomt out a single line in which we had referred to him in a hostile manner, and his answer is that the question is surrounded by “a very simple and plain statement or facts." If he has a defence for the assessor why does he not come out like a man and clear him of the stigma by givingthe facts of which he barely hints P He can- not do so, and he dare not make the attempt. Just think of the incon- sistency. In one article he states that the assessor had no right to enter on the roll the names of those claiming a vote under the Manhood Franchise ; that was for the Court of Revision, “according to the book of instructions,” and in the same article he abuses those who appeal- ed to have the assessments recti- fied at the Court of Rev1sion. \Ve asked him to state why he made this accusation, and he is as silent as a dummy. The township of Vaughan, with over two thousand names on the roll, only required six corrections under the Manhood Suflrage Act. In Markham, with perhaps a larger roll than Vaughan, only two appeals were made, whereas in Richmond Hill the Council were forced to make alterations in more than forty cases on a roll ot less than two hundred and fitty names. In another place the Herald man makes a mean insinuation in accus- ing us ot toadying t0 the Reeve. \Ve challenge him to name an instance. and will allow the Reeve to decrde the point. Here is another clianCe to prove himself a man or a coward. But this will be like the rest ot his insmuations. You can tramp him in the mud, and he will not attempt to prove one 0t them. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, June 27, ‘89 One would scarcely know whether to laugh, or feel sorry for the Herald man, on reading his editorial last week, entitled “ Our nice young Changeâ€"Oscar J. Brown Changeâ€"C. Trovethan. The lollcrwing quotation will show that he is willing to stoop to any depth in order to misrepresent facts, and deceive his readers z»â€" “Any person would suppose that the members of the party to which the young man is but a recruit in comparison to the old veterans that served under Captain Blain in the ‘Old Brigade,’ were but babes in the faith and fit only to ‘be fed with milk instead of strong meat. But that their hands have not lost their cun- ning, only look how a good and decent man was cheated out of his election in the township last January. On that oc- casion names were refused to be received under oath, when the same names were gladly taken the year before under the same assessment." THE HERALD’S FALSEHOODS. V NEW ADVERTISEMENTS 1w fiiheml. gave the Conservative candxdate the benefit of the majority of the doubtful ballots, whereby he was declared elected. He muét there- fore bv trying to throw the onus on His Honor, Judge McDougall, who made the recount, and declared Mr. Malloy reeve. As to names being refused under oath last january that were taken the year before. must be a deliberate falsehood, as no election was held the year before. A long part ofthe Herald’s article l is taken up in telling how many l times it has seen the assessor in a l certain space ot time. \Vhat a fine 1 record this will be to keep tor tuture l generations. Only five times in four weeks, and only two visits during that time. But even in this small matter he cannot be truthful. He says we are “quite capable of not only speaking lies, but also of writ- ing them." Kindly name one in- stance, and give proof. He says we asserted that the Herald man and the assessor were “very thick." We deny having said anything ot the kind, though it he means thick in the head, we w1ll not contradict the statement. He says we assert- ed they were "actually seen walking arm and arm together.” We deny it, and challenge him to quote from THE LIBERAL any such statement. \Ve do accuse Mr. Elliott of not only being incompetent but dishonest as an assessor, but to say he was walk- ing arm in arm with the Herald man would be going altogether too far. Had we done so we would apologize at once to Mr. Elliott. What we did say was that we would not object to such proceedings. The article closes in this fash1on. - “But Tommy may be surprised to learn that the private opinion held of him by those whom he 1s pleased to term our ‘so called friends,’ and which he may call his new found friendsfis that he is a in heart without the courage of his con- 1 victions.” No person but a coward among cowards would write such a sent- ence. Why not fill the blank and let us know what he means. We ask for an explanation, and nothing but a lack of manliness will cause him to withhold it. In conclusion we would say we are sorry we have nct a more honorable contemporary, as we defy any honest man to quote a single paragraph in the Herald‘s last editonal having the semblance of truth or honesty. Is it any won- der that he hangs his head when you meet him on the street. If we ha.e occasion to refer to this subject again, we will point out to the Her- ald the penalty to which the assessor subjected himself by refusing names under affidavits.
