MR, MOORE'S ACRQBATIC FEAT.
A PLEA FOR LENIENCY. . Mr. Hindmarsh complained on Saturday night of The Dominion's comment upon the remarks made by Mr. F. T. Moore (Labour candidate in the second ballot for Suburbs) on election night. Mr. Moore, it will be remfmbered, called for an alliance of "Liberalism" and Labour against the Reform party in order to secure his election. The Dominion dealt frankly with the startling ' contrast between this sentiment and Mr. Moore's recent denunciations of Wardism and promises to assist. Mr. Massey- in ousting the present Administration. Mr. Hindinarsh pleaded that Mr. Moore should not bo attacked for saying what some considered a little too much, under the stress and excitement of election'night. They should look upon Mr. Moore's career for a year back, and not judge him hastily on a few sentences. Why did they not tell instead of nil the good things that Mr. Moore iai/ done ? Instead, a foolish utterance, a word too piueh, was seized npon.' " .' • .
