THE BRUCE CONTEST.
Sir,—ln your report of Mr J. Alien's meeting' at Stirling on tlw 22iul inst., which lias just come under my notice, you state that there was a decided majority in favour of ,1 vole of confidence, but that the chairman gave no decision, saving that the voting was about equal. Now, while I have no objections to your giving a volo of confidence to Mr Allen, I, as chairman, must object io.thc imputation of unfairness cast upon. mo. Tho actual voting was 16 tor the motion and 17 against, so that I was really more than fair to Mr Allen. No stretch of imagination can prove that the molion had tho confidcncc of tho meeting, when such a small number voted out of the fairly large audience present.— 1 am. etc., Jos. Moslet. Inchclutha, October 26.
