POOR OLD GRANNY
Mr. Goodman desired to make personal explanation. In the mall supplement (Oct. 29) of that reliable "er, hemspaper. commonly called "Granny," alisa the Daily Press, was a paragraph at the conclusion of Mr. Whitehend's speech imputing to the Acting Colonial Secretary uncharitable feelings towards
the public.-
"Feelings have been extressed by the hon. member which I am grieved should exist in the minds of the officia's towards the inhabitants." He had no recollection of such words, and they were quite unjustified. He found on inquiry that the paragraph was inserted after the deliy istne was printed, and were pet into the report that would be sent home, at Mr. Whitebead's request. For himself, he had always received the very greatest kindness from the inhabitants of the Colony, and entertained the very kindert feelings for them. (Quite right. What he may lack in intellect he certainly makes up in goodness of heart.-H.K.T]
Mr. Whitehead was certain that he had used those words, though possibly they had escaped notice,
