TO THE EDITOR OF THE PJUS3B. Sir, —Three years ago Messrs Smith and Taylor went to Wellington as members of the Liberal party. Soon they became estranged from it. If the past is a guide to the future, why should not the selected leader of the Opposition during the next Parliament be the recipient of the same treatment extended by independent Liberals to Mr Seddon? If that leader be not prepared to concede colonial option and ite train of purashmenfej to Mr T. E. Taylor, he may expect no quarter, for none will ho get. In Christchurch Mr-T. E. Taylor and his fellow progressive Liberals wrecked the Liberal party for the sake of their prohibition fad. He will do the same by the Opposition, and even more gleefully. Yet Mr Taylor angles for Opposition support, and would use that support to destroy the Opposition. If any Oppositionists play Mr T. E. Taylor's game and tliat of his colleague, Mr G. J. Smith, they will get the reward they deserve.—Yours, etc., NO RAIL-SITTER.
