It is pleasant to know that ones labor* however little appreciated elsewhere merit the approval of prog -ev sive and well conducted newspaper*. But I dign* : Dr. Sprcule, M. P. for East Grey in the Canadian House of Commons, was born, if I mistake not, in the Township of Us- prey, where his aged parents still reside and U a brother of the Fleshei ton post- master, Mr. R. J. Sproule. The Dr. lives in the village of Markdale, his house being possibly the largest private resi- dence in Gssy county. The grounds sur- rounding it are very extensive and well laid out. Dr. Spromle has represented East Grey ir, the Dominion parliament for a number of years, and is one of the most fluent speaker* in the Province. When he first stumped the riding he represent*, Mid- dleton thp irrespressible "J. J.," I mean and other funny Reform politi- cians, made great game of the Dr's. pro- nunciation of the word "but," which sounded to setae like "bood." All the same, very few of those funny gentlemen cared to take platform against the Dr, ex- cepting, perhaps, Middleton, who would "sasa" Sir. John A. Macdonald or Sir. Leonard Tilly with equal coolness and presumption. "Hi* grammar is awful," said some of those very precise critic* who are to be found everywhere. All the same, the sturdy electors of East Grey added the handle of "M. IV" U- his name, and have repeated the operation several times sine*. I think I am safe in aaying, Mr. Editor that Dr. Sproule ha* done more for his constituents than all the other M. P's and M. P. l"s East Grey ha* ever had put together 1 This seems like a strong laUment. if not, indeed, an exaggerated one ; but it is nothing but the plain truth. What would the Meaford or Thornbury larbors ev .r have amounted to had it not teen for Dr. Bpruule'* untiring energy in placing ssslliis clearly and honestly be- the Government and by persistent adrocaaev of ;he claims of these places to Government patronage 1 How else ha* ie served the interests of hi* constituent* ? ly being as efseti as at all possible in his >lace in the House when important mea- sure* were up for the consideration of parliament and by nut deserting his post when those important measure* were being voted pon. Hi* course in this particular has always been manly and icnest. He possesses superior abilities as a speaker, but is rather apt at time* to ndulge in lofty flights of oratory some- what foreign to his subject He i* also nclined tu be prosy and indulges in long speeches, sometimes, which are rather suggestive of those made by the obstruc- tionists daring the recent protracted dis- cussion in the House on the Franchise Bill. He possesses plenty of fire and en- rgy and at times came* his audience "by storm," if I may be permitted to use the expression. In debate he used to ,ose his temper too easily to be very suc- cesRful in that important phase of public speaking. Of late years, however, he bas overcome thU difficulty to a great ex- tent and the politician who attempts the Teat of crosaingiworda with East Grey * M. P. now usually retires in discomfiture f n m the ' -battle field. " As the Dr. deals exclusively in /acts something new to the average political! opponents are obliged to deal almost exclusively hi empty sar- casms, which may or may not create a laugh, but which certainly do not carry conviction to the intelligent and reason- ing mind. As the msnos become more and more enlightened they become cor- respondingly critical and the empty no. thingisms ao popular and common a de- cate ago have no more affect now than 'water poured on a duck's back." The diffusion of genera] knowlgjsjge through the medium of newspapers and stan- dard works of great merit, published in such cheap form as to be within the grasp of all, have revo); tionivud ideas of the tolling masses who rule this as well as every other country where blind des- potism i* at a discount ; and the public man who hopes to achieve success and stand highly in the estimation of the peo- pie, must nut only posse** a through knowledge of the politics of his country, but he otust uls rank with the men de- signated by thu poet a* "Men, high-minded men. Who their duty know And knowing, dara maintain." Whatever Inn faults, 1 believe Dr. Bproule belong* to this class. I am aware that the subject of this sketch hai expressed himself as opposed to the Scott Act and similar compulsory legislation. He has expressed himself very candidly on this point some saidhe wa* currying favor with the licensed vic- tualler*. I don't believe it, fur Temper- ance sentiment in East Grey is so strong- ly in favor of the Scott Act, that a man must "possess the courage of his honest convictions" to a very great degree if he venture an opinion Contrary to that of the majority of his cuiMtituents or political supporters. The Dr. is honest in his op- inion concerning.coinpulsory legi^i'ation and advances, I am compelled to admit, (teetotaller though I be) some strong ar- guments in defence of his position. I am one of those who believe, Mr. Editor, that an individual, who act* strictly in accord- ance with th dictate of Ms own con- science, deserves to ue tn tied as a citizen, a brother and an honest man ; to call him a fanatic, a mugwump, or even a foul, does not imply that he Jeaerves any or all of these epithet*. Professionally, the Dr. is highly esteem- ed and possesses the confidence of his pa- tient* in a marked degree. Politically, he is possibly the most popular man in the County of Grey if there be a more popular man, the M. P. P. for North Grey is that man. Socially, he (the) Dr) is a gentleman of most engaging matter*, courteous, unaffected, dignified and em- phatically "a man of the people. " His ipeech on the Franchis* Bill dur- ing the remarkably long session of parlia- ment now drawing to a doss), ha* given him a decided prominence amongst tk orator* in tnat critical assembly, whilst hi* vote against the Senate's amendment to the Scott Act has decidedly increased his prestige amongst the Ti mpenne* rate- payer* of East Grey. Dy his untmug perseverance; by his aloi.it herculean efforts in mastering Domi. .on as well a* Provincial politics in their every detail by his close application to the many du- ties connected with his professional auc public career ; by his earnestness and un- conquerable zeal in guarding the inter- ests of his constituent* ; and by hi* lib- erality and generous dealings with friend and foe, he to-day occupies a proud and AYER'S * Hair Vigor restores, with the floe* and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep Mack, as may b desired.
