An Imitator of ' Hones i John.'
Mr Lennox's manner of exit; from the City Council closely resembles Mr Btfyce's good- bye to the House of Representative^. Mr Lennox was insulted, and in the c<^Le of a somewhat excited personal expißmtion he was ruled out of order by U^L Mayor and ordered to sit down. Therw&pon the incensed Councillor declared flKt he could no longer associate with ' ijrersons ' who could treat him so unfairly. Jt£e did not, like Bryce, put himself in the /wrong by defying the chair, and ' Truthf ul/fi ames ' has on the whole been more badly used than ' Honest John/. It would be a/jait of retributive justice if the electors were teo make Mr Lennox Mayor, in preference to tffi) gentleman so offensively thrust forward ]^ffJpton, Farrell and Co.
