In hotels on the streets in tbe street cars and in the hall every utter ance and interruption was John Smith It was more pronounced than the proverbial of several years ago The little story which caused ail this in New market yesterday is said to be about as follows Editor McKay the ExpressHerald was in the city on Monday presumably to interview Mr Buchanan with a view to bring out a temperance candidate in North York A County Councillor was in the Lu cas House and the proprietor said to trim Who is that man pointing to Mr McKay The councillor re- plied That is Mr McKay The Landlord answered he had regis tered as John Smith City This was heralded all over North York and wherever Editor McKay pops up his head a dozen voices shout John Smith The editor sat thru the whole proceedings of yesterday and denies that he was registered at the Caution to Electors We warn the Liberate North York against Strangers who are now moving about the conces- and sidelines Town ships pretending of evidence taken during the examina tion for discovery of Hon vis trick is dishonorable 1st because a mutual settlement was upon and ought to be respect ed 2nd because in presenting this evidence only garbled extracts are given the real truth is not- disclosed and a misrepresentation which is simply a lie is given 3rd because the Stranger is a hireling em ployed to deceive faaa no

concludes as follows He is a Liberal in tics Why did this selfappoints deputa tion go to a Liberal Why not seek some genuine trueblue Tory Ah I theres the rub That wasnt the kind of political hockey

man who has always lived temperance and by a surreptitious cause the of who makes no pretentions of being temperance man This John Smith is the same man that has fault wiLh the Hon J because did not do enough for the Referendum last December How much did Mc Kay do He never wrote an article urging the electors to vote for the Act He never attended a meeting to In polling the vote for temperance in Ms own municipality much less In any other Would he vote for a temperance candidate if one was brought out Not he The whitcd sepulchre is being turned out and his Tory tactics are now exposed Who tlie

had resigned and sec ond that he would not hare done no if he had not been afraid of the dreadful disclosures which would ensue Perhaps the man who wrote above extract knew the feelings of a majority of the Liberals who at tended the meeting and perhaps he did not What strikes us as pecu liar is if a majority or even were discontented they took a very funny way of mani festing their discontent by cheering Mr Davis utterances arid then unan imously amid demonstrations of marked approval voting for fol lowing resolution That the Liberal Executive of North York here assembled de sires to express its utmost con fidence in the Hon J Davis Commissioner of Crown Lands our representative in the Ontario Legislature and to assure him of our continued loyalty to him After passing a resolution like the above with not a single dissenting voice being beard the organ of Lennox without any apparent strain of conscience has the effront erythe consummate gall to assert more discontented lot of men could hardly be found tht the ma jority of the Liberals who attended that meeting Our only surprise fa that it not also stated that discontented lot of men has since ent ranee to the man who to have refused to let Mr out and then accepted W they purpose according a hearty support Id the corning contest It would have been truthful but we can tell who has thus libelled the ma jority of that meeting
