Dodge with forgery Following it will also to found Mr Dodges version and denial in House of Commons also a second article from the Globe accompanied by a short letter from Canon Ramsay When news first reached Newmarket and indeed during most of tho day the excite in tbe Riding was intense In this village for hours after the of mail bringing Globe containing the article alluded groups of people were to be seen all tho principal street corners and the market place discussing tbe pro cons of the ease at the same the impression seemed to to general that if charge was substantiated Mr Dodge ought to be called upon to resign Subsequent revelations have not contributed to allay the general feeling of dissatisfaction On Satur day we are told our local mem- tor arrived here and held a private caucus at tbe Royal Hotel but the result was not particularly encour aging Rumor has it that an agree ment was come to to send forth a document fathered by somebody with the view of casting blame Canon Ramsay but whether this course will be followed remains to to seen There are so many floating report regarding side issoes that one docs not know which story to believe The following version we understand will be found to be sub stantially correct and we now pub licly appeal to Canon Ramsay just to say yea or no I He evidently en tertained a kindly feeling Dodge and therefore shrank from making an expose of the affair and although perhaps he may not have been to blame for so doing yet we shall consider him to to highly cul pable if be should bang fire any longer Our understanding of particulars of this painful affair is follows A strong Utter was written against Mr Dodge challenging tbe Canon to admit or deny charge This letter was forwarded Northern Light of which paper Dr Ramsay wat editor Dr Ramsay baa a dispute with Mr Dodge likely to end in litigation and thought would to unhandsome to admit any article under circumstance re flecting upon Mr Dodge and bene determined not to breaths a wotdj It perhaps would to proper for as add that we have reliable informs- for stating that charges made against Mr Dodge which did not gain admittance into the Northern Light were sent to the Daily Globe withont sanction of Canon Ram say hence to fault the latter for their A Concert under auspices of appearance is unjustifiable But with I Aurora Fire Brigade Band

general public If Mr Dodjre to not guilty we shall take the same free dom in holding up his public condemnation but wo want to know the truth Let us have the whole truth I In conclusion we would express our hope that if in bis power Canon Ramsay will not only reply to the foregoing but come manfully out with all he knows about this ugly looking business This we consider is due to tbe electors of this Riding quite as much to the Conservatives as to the Reformers If true we have no hesitation in saying Mr Dodge moat to lost to all sense of shame not to place his resignation in the hands of the Speaker and If not true he ought to bo exculpated from blame There is no backing about the tosh in tbia matter The charge la too grave to remain silent fiat net carbon Immigration Meeting A public meeting was held in the Court House on Monday afternoon last to listen to addresses from George T Esq Ontario Agent and John A Donaldson Esq Dominion Immi gration Agent at Toronto The ting organized
