MR. MALONE'S CANDIDATURE.

To the Editor.

Sir, —-Mr. Ahilouo's apologist, "Evui itionisl," in liis reply to mine of Ilio Mill, does not attempt to deny tliat t'ormei ly -Mr. .Miilone was a prominent iiu'inbet ol' tlie Opposition party, lie merely says ill eil'eet: "Whatever lie may have lie.-a ill the Sill's, the eanilidate hasn't ehan^-d hi, political lielief." 1 a«ive with hi:ii | there, for, as I before stated, I believe Jlr. -Mahme is masquerading for the uonee in Liberal that underneath

i t'liu veneer of Lib.-Labism there hides lie real man -the Oppositionist. Is it my wonder (as Jlr. ilalone hii..-eil -laiins) that the Opposition party offered .o run liini as their nominee. 1 clial-

lenge "Evolutionist/' or his principal for ihiil matter, to deny tliat at Stratford .Mr. Malone publicly declared, *\As you know. I. am against the (loverniuenl and for proof of my assertion refer them to the Hies of tin 1 old ''Egmout Settler'' newspaper (now merged in the "Ntialford Post"). 1 have no objection io any person changing his mind, but the elector,s have a right to ask the candidate to give his reasons for so doing, so that they can judge for themselv--whether lie was justified in thus liis opinion. As to "Evolutionist's" personal query re niy -elf, ! would advise him to borrow from Mr. Malone th.* little book he found so useful ai hi* Xew Plymouth meeting, namely, liers lor Men." from which he will doubtless learn that only the ignorant and illmannered apply vulgar cpitahs to those 'holding contrarv opinions to themselves. :—I am, etc., ' EX-STUATFOUDITE.
