A CHANGE REQUIRED.

TO THE EDITOR

Sir, —In last Saturday's " Express" wo have another instance of how Mr Mills is trying to mislead the electors by endeavoring to make them believe that he has given them the truth, and lir Duncan is laying before them what is r.ot true. I refer to Mr Henry Harris's letter. This, .sir, is but one small instance of how Mr Mills and hiy party are for over thrusting down the people's throats that black is white, and vice versa. Their whole time is taken up in repeating what they are pleased to call tho charges brought against them, "which speaks for itself.'' I have never yet, sir, heard of the straightforward man or woman who finds it needful to give up nearly the whole of their time going about informing the people that they are honest and good. True and upright actions speak for themselves. I am surprised, sir, when 1 think of how many men and women in this Godgiven, bright and pure country of ours who are credited for having sound common sense, and for encouraging all that is right and pure, are apparently going to give their vote next week in favor lof continuing for another three years a power that has to all appearances lost the memory of its bright and highest qualities, and as a result is going downwards. There is a fact that none of us can deny, and which equally applies to all things. Clothes worn too long without changing become (what). The political personnel of the Government requires changing; and upon the shoulders of the people alone rests this duty. Are the electors going to discharge their responsibility in this matter like true men and women? You young men and women who are for the first time about to exercise your vote, step out from the start with the determination that you will have the truest men to administer your laws, and to control the affairs of this bright' land of ours in all that is good and true. To accomplish this you must change your men when needed. Do not be afraid. It is desirable to change now. Will you do your duty?—l am, etc., TRUTH.
