Hon. N. B. Judd published a long speech
in the independent organ Of the Darnaclas
on Wednesday evening. The question
most frequently asked since tho appearance
Of this important document is, Who wrote
il for him?
Mr.. Judd has o grent deal 10 say
about the domination of "four eai-
tors" According 10 our recollection,
fur editars made all there Is Of
a1r. Judd, in political sense, and We sub-
init that it il iupoitic for him to take that
sutject for his text. But for four editors,
Long John would hare crushed him like IN
egg-hlell few years ago, and We remem-
Lef that AR Wentuarth, after that CAM
paign was ended, never went around town
complaining about the domination of ncws-
papers, although he, If anybody, had tho
better right 10 complain.
