CHRISTCHURCH NORTH SEAT
TO THE EDITOR OP "THE TRESS." Sir, —There has been a very great deal of nonsense and bad feeling vented over tho Dreadnought offer and the attitude taken up by Mr T. E. Taylor, much of which is not worth consideration at all. The same would apply to your correspondent "Nofc a Lawyer." By the way, why will the champions ot Mr Taylor persist in shaking of Sir Joseph Ward's offer? To my mind it is a sign of weakness, as they know perfectly well that tho offer was miult , by tho Cabinet, of which Sir Joseph is only a unit. However, it was not on that head I wished to write, but to enter a protest against your correspondent's caddish (I can get no other word to fit the case) reference to Mr Bates's profession. Surely it is not necessary, and will do his particular cause- no good, to vent spleen in sucii execrable taste. In conclusion I should like to say that Mr Bates is nothing whatever to me.—Yours, etc., DISGUSTED.
