THE CHRISTCHURCH ELECTION.

TO TUB EDITOR OP TUB PBESS. Sir,—lf your statements concerning Mr L E. Taylor are no nearer the mark than your similes they may fairly be classed as imaginative. Tbe only resemblance that I ! can see in him to a jellyfish is in his trans- i parent clearness. If, however, he is as you i itate, a rail-sitting jellyfish, he must be a I most unnatural kind of bird, and should be < lent to the Museum instead of to the House, i as New Zealand's greatest curiosity, with a label attaohed to him stating that the . colony is indebted for the startling dis- 1 oovery to the scientists of the Christchurch 1 pßllsa. Then, if your strict accuracy were 1 not so well known, I should be inclined to I think you were slightly mixed when you i •poke of Mr Taylor a* Mr Reeves' political < "Frankenstein. For Frankenstein was the ' student who from the remains of many dead ' men constructed a soulless monster. As it < Is, however, we oan only conclude you 1 meant to say that Mr Reeves .is the soulless < monster who wanders lonely over the world, 1 and that T. E. Taylor is responsible for his ' creation. Draw it mild !—Yours, 4c, i Junia. 1
