My invitation to' him "to publish a .corresponding list.of names, of Wellington business men opposed to the. urgent need of forming a strong National Government in New Zealand"—for very obivous reasons—has. been rejected. The appeal of the business men—"to forgot party and to consider earnestly how' the welfare of the Dominion' may best be secured , and . -maintained"—is,; therefore, not endorsed by "Malvornian,".'i|i whoso opinion there is. only one political "party —lie-form —for which he appears to hold a "Watching Brief." ■-. . . ! lv his previous letter, "Malvcrnuui" Htated that' t'lic Bcl'orm nominee at the iiauraki; by-election ."scored v .dear I'najoility over tho combined vote of his three rivals."
