A CANDIDATE'S GRAMMAR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LYTTEHON TIMES. Sir,—Will you kindly inform me if the following sentence from Mr. Lance's address be correct English ? " That neither of the other candidates who had presented themselves were wholly acceptable to the electors, &c." It is almost absurd to ask the question ; the error is so glaring. However, your opinion only can settle the question. Yours, &c, A SUBSCRIBER. May 22, 1866. [Unless Mr. Lance means that, he himself representing unity, each of his adversaries is something greater, Ms grammar is decidedly at fault.-ED.Z.T'.]
