SHANNON MAYORAL ELECTION.

* (To Editor), t sir,—in your last issue Mr Hyde | uses your space lor the purpose oi ; denying some alleged slanders against ■him. He certainly, like every other individual in ilhe briWsli Empire, has me ngm to defend himself, but where is Uie necessity oi connecting my name w.ith these alleged slanders. Air Hyde, ho doubt, thinks by connecting my name with these slanders to gam some sympathy and alienate support from,me, If ‘this was his object we will llnd himself much mistaken. The people of Shannon know that 1 am incapable of any mean or unworthy action and that 1 am not given fcq slandering my opponent directly or by any agency. Air Hyde, if he wet/e to speak, knows that I have often remained silent and taken blame unjustly ratner than speak against others, xir Hyde, of course, gays that he clears me of <the slanders, but Marc Antony in his oration over Caesar’s body indicted Brutps more openly by declaring him an honorable man than by direct denunciation. Anrfjthei tsnukespereun character, lago, inflamed the Moor by methods similar to those used by lvir Hyde. I would not slander Air Hyde or any other mai Yours’, etc. Win. MURDOCH.
