PERSONAL COMMENTS.
TO THK KDITOK. Sm, —Is it not generally a rule to throw into your waste-paper banket anything bordering on this'.' Your Parliamentary correspondent must be my excuse for transgressing. Sir Hubert Stout iu reported to have said " that the lJunediu Fist electors did not treat him properly," etc. .\ow, as one who did vote Lv him, I should like to say a word or two in reply, I am afraid Sir Kobcrt cannot take a licking cither at the bar or in politics in good part. Sir Robert or.ee said "beer" (alluding to the tax) beat his Government. Will ho believe football was no inpignilieant factor in beating him. Many young fellows voted for his opponent solely on this account. 'Then, Sir Hobert's allien were obj.-utionablc. If he intends entering polities again, Dunedin will perhaps return him ; and his first love is here (the Freethought business is forgiven). In days to come his loyalty for the cause of education will wipe out the K.C.M.G. business and other theoretical fads.—l am, etc., Dr.NF.rux East. duly 10.
