Guessing is very we'll when 1t happens
TO hit but he who writes for the ednca-
ton Of the public would do we'll to know
! whereof he writes"
The guessing" to which Mr.. Thorn
hill refers with reference to the mass
meeting at hls church, was done by
member of his congregation who was pres
| cnt at the Sunday-night service, anu VINO
| gave TO the DisFAICR reporter what he was
| sincere in believing to be "a correct account
| of the meeting. Ii Is, OF course, to be re
rretted that the inaccuracies OF winch
Mr. Thornhill complains occurred. but
they were not due, rs lie seems 10 think, TO
neglect OF duty on the part OF the Man
chester representative of the DISPATCH.
Both the reporter aud his informant IN
tended and desired TO give the facts cor
rectlv. and the failure 50 to do was the re-
suit of misconception on the part OF the
| latter of the scope of the speeches. made.
There was no guessing" The DISPATCH
does not collect its news that way.
