To the Editor ‘'The Avis.”’ Dear Sir:— In reply to Country Voter'’ in vour paper of the 29th instant re: the Eiection. 1 beg to say that there are grave doubts as to the truthful expres- sion of the sentiments of the '‘Big Four”’ to which allusion is made and the objec- tion therein made to Roberts.

Rob- erts will represent the large majori ty of the people; the other man, only the interests of the few;and it is well-known what are those-interests, and the benefit to whom those interests will acerue.
