THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegbaph.l Sib,—l beg leave to give an emphatic contradiction to the tissue of lies inserted in your yesterday's issue by one signing himself " A Wesleyan." I might claim my right as a citizen to take an active interest in Municipal elections, nor would the candidate in question be unworthy of it, but I deny that the writer or any other man saw me canvassing from house to house, with electoral roll in hand, in the interests of any candidate. I should take no notice of this contemptible squib but for the object of asking one question : How far are those who coin barefaced falsehoods, to further their own ends, worthy of public confidence.—l am, &c, W. C. Oliver.
[We are glad that Mr Oliver has taken this opportunity to contradict the report, ■which was certainly very generally in circulation yesterday. —Ed. D.T.]
