THE MEETING AT CLIVE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —You, in your leading article last night, in referring to my meeting at Clive, say that the methods used by me of listening on the Telephone was not a creditable way of getting votes. I -want you to understand that I am not in the habit of listening to conversations on the Telephone, but at times it is impossible for one to help hearing conversations not intended for other people’s ears, especially when one’s own name is mentioned. ,1 think that, if you are a fair man, you will correct the insinuation. The rest of your remarks I leave to the public to judge.—Yours, etc., H. laN SIMSON. [lf Mr. Simson reads correctly the editorial he relets to, he will find that it was the public use he made of an alleged telephone conversation between two subscribers, and one not intended for his ears, that we condemned.—Ed.]
