To Iks Editor of the Standard. to, —As a friend of Ur Bnnny’s, I, with many others, felt very much annoyed at bis attssk on Mr W E Bid will, at last 'fhnrsdsy night's meeting in Fes there too. That geotinman merely asked a simple question, and • UnU have been answered in a gentlemanly spirit, instead of which, Ur Annoy thought proper to read a latter of Mr fiidwill's, pob naked in the Suxsibu, commenting upon it to anything bat »n impartial manner. He might at any rate have shown tbs same courtesy to Ur Bid will. ss he did s little later on in I replying to a question of Ur Hatton's. Let me Bestirs Mr Banuy that such exhibitions of temper ere not eslenleted to further hie asnee, bat rather tend in the opposite diree tioa. The Maecra Bidwill are too well known let aaynaie to believe they would be gnilty of eesMang mea in their employ to vote contrary to their coavietioo, and Mr BidwiliV toil of the charge at the meeting carrieo eon fiction with it. I am, <ke., Eucrcm. Fsatbsrstoa, Bth July, 1887.
