We hope Mr Lewis’s adherents are not losing any of the time at their present disposal in forwarding that gentleman’s interests in the forthcoming election. A gentleman who espouses the opposite side, told us yesterday that “ Sarah wouldn't fight, as it did not suit her policy.” We are so glad to learn that she A-w or professes to hare a policy of any kind, it is strange though, and thoroughly discreditable to any paper professing the principles of journalism that they should be afraid of advocating one side or the other because they might offend their customers by so doing. Out upon such paltry journalistic cowardice ! We never had much opinion of Sarah’s pluck, but to show the white feather like this is too utterly utter. By the way, on the list of names inviting Mr Henry Lewis to stand for the Mayoralty, we notice the name of “T. Ciirisp,” one of the proprietors of the “Herald,” Strange as it may appear, Mr Cllßisp is canvassing for the opposite side. Sabah doesn’t want “to offend her customers, ” so he. works the double shuffle. Well, we shall back our tactics against his for a dollar. Sarah is afraid to come out of her shell at any price. Milk and water has generally been the order of her diet, but now, we suppose, owing to the hardness of the times and the eternal fitness of things, she’s left off the milk ! 1 .'
