[advertisement.] ' I r HE following is an EXTRACT from an article which appeared in tho i{ Lyttel" ton Times " of 19th April, IS7O : — " Unfortunately, the private affairs of Mr Moorhouse have long been a topic of painful public discussion, and by no one have they been more freely discussed than himself. Not that it follows as a rulo that because a man cannot manage business successfully on his own account therefore he is unfit to manage well for others. Still, reckless mwmanagen ent of private affairs must be expected to bca* its fruit in the loss of confidence on the part of all those, most conversant with tlie vjuu.- of the opposite qualities of prudence and economy. Men of business will not continue to place faith in a man who fails for extravagant amounts, and pays his creditors nothing. And it does not increase tboir confidence under the circumstances when they find a lately insolvent candidate retorting by attempting to leach them how to manage their own business. In this respect Mr Moorhouse made a woful mistake the other night. He is not the first candidate for the office of Superintendent of Canterbury who has appealed to class interests and prejudices, but we hope he will be tho last." 420 GRAIN.
