THE PROMISED MEETING. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir I am somewhat astonished at the ■ aorry excuse offered by our City members for not meeting their constituents. What are the "pressing engagements" that render them unable to appoint a convenient day of reckoning? What are they, or what have they been doing, that they cannot in one evening meet the electora? Mr Bathgate could attend a concert, and Mr Reynolds scents wandering up and down the streets not well knowing what to do with himself. Surely the exigencies of the public service are not such that two hours in an evening cannot be »p;tred. It would be more manly and better, and more truthful, for Messrs Bathgate and Keynolds to say at once thut their conduct cannot be defended, anil that they feel the electors hate all kinds of politicians of the rat kind.—-1 am, <fee, CITIZKN.
