TO THE EDITOR OF THE PATRICT.

£ig8,—I do not wish for a pewspaper con- troversy, bu: | notice some good Brother *“Scarlet“Kaight ” has made several etate- ment in yeouc paper of this cate which are as fal-e aod misleading as it is pos- sible to make them. Tbese I decline to answer unless “Scarlet Kuighw” will come out of his thell and let the public ree who he's. I beheveI lost the porit‘on of Gas luspector on account cf the persisiert wire-«pullivg of the same crowd that some time ago bawked a petition through this city and conutry to bare Rev. Donal McNeill dc: sed in usd. that one of tbemeelves might get his position and not On account ofany party politics. For wheo solicited by a candinate for our Local Legislature to vore for bim,I eaid that, as | had a.cotice from Ottawa that officials were not to take» py pert in poli tice, 1 thought better not to vote at all, Nor have I entered a political meeting of any kind for the past four years.

I have good reasou to believe that just such statemets es appeared in your paper were sent to Sir Louis H. Davies, and had be to do thie over again it would be differ- ent, for be was deceived.

Now Sir, I decline to go further into this case till “Scarlet Knight” will come out over his own name, which I challenge him todo. I wiil then bave the pleasure of proving him false t> the oath be bas

taken. R. K. Brace. March 30th, 1900.
