The ideas may or may not be those of M: David Lawson--1 must vharitably they are.

it will be ebserved that po attempt is made to dispreve aay one of my charges. Regardip Mr. Lawsen’s denial that we were acting in conjunction, 1 can. if “ive the Were Caii-

and we.

necessary,

am prs ese i te nse the name of VCouneiller Smith, who emphatically states that Mr. 1. | positively avowed during the canvass, that we were rnunipg ia conjunction, Will Mr. Davi: Lawson deny this?

Mr. J. denies that we arranged to take the eastern and western portions of the Ward res pectively. Does not he remember that, oa the afternoon ef neminatlion day, near ihe door ef the Mayor's office—and in the preseic4 of a number of persons, who can, if desired, testify to the fact—we entered into the ar- rangement °

tlis assertion that ‘‘I immediately after wards was actively canvassing the district as- signed him,’ is My canvass of western portion coufmenced en Vriday mern-| ing aud did not terminate until Monday, at which time | learned that Lawson was makin a personal canvass only. I did on Menday evening, and during the two following days, go through the eastern end, but not unti! I had fuily completed my own section.

If Mr. Lawson thought on the day ef election} that, by driving voters te the poll te supp rt] him, “‘had enly a tendency to do him injury,” it appears very strange that he did not re- nionstrate at the time. Hus countenance i!- lumined each time the teams approached, lis pleasure. was apparent, his joy unbounc-| ed. This part of our friend’s objection is ‘*teo; thin.”

Mr. Laweon says that a great many voters held me “‘in contempt.”” As this is only tie reckless assertion of Dawid, I can afford te ‘‘pass’—only remarking that there are those whe allow themselves to be deneath contemp: Mr. Lawson, no doubt, belongs to this class. Of the two evils I prefer cheosimg the lezst.

Mr. Lawson imagiues that he has found a happy way out of the difficulty in which he placed himself by his ‘* plump’’ vete, saying that as I voted for him, he was privileged to follow suit.

His idea of honor and the opinion of the Ward does not harmonize.

The allusion tothe contest in 1879—when without my knowledge or consent a friend prt mein nomination—is far fetched. On that occasion | did not solicit a vote, whereas Mr, Lawsen canvassed the entire Ward.

The eases are net analagous.

Mr. Lawson’s attempt to make the canvass sectarian is unworthy of notice and shows that he is grasping at straws. I can positively say that any ‘‘representations’ made by me were strictly correct

The thanks for the biscuit and sandwich | accept. I ouly cited this circumstance in order te show that | had done my duty fully towards him.

Should a similar election again occur, | will feed him on fish, as it is an acknowledge! Brain food.

The public will easily see that Mr. L. dors not attempt a contradiction. His effort {or rather that of A. C. H.)} is nothing but a quib- ble.

In bidding our friend Lawson a fend adien, I will make this offer :—

I agree to pay his resignation fee, also the fee for nomination, and contest the Wand with him. in making this offer I am not ee- uated by any sinister motives towards Mr Lawson, but assured that the large majority of the Ward do not accept him as their repre sentative and consider that he has thrust himself upou them against their desire, an opportunity will now be afforded him to again command the respect of the community and show conclusively whether or not he is the choice of the Ward. ineventef Mr. Law- gon declining this offer the public will take it for cranted that his inordinate greed, sind love for a position he has usurped, is para- mount, and the wishes and opinions of ihe Ward, secondary.
