THE GREAT LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.
TO THB BDITOB. Sir,—Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise. Had the Hon. Mr Seddon known the past career of some of the gentlemen who graced the stage with their presence the other night no doubt the above lines would have flashed through his mind as they did through mine. However, lam not going to smirch over this great Liberal Association. S»me of its members will soon do that for it if it lives long enough. But the speeches, with the exception of Mr Seid»n'sand Mr PinkertVs, were all very second-rate twaddle, headed by Sir Robert's. I have always had a great reßpeot for Mr but his reference to free labor and his adulation of unionists were pitiable. However, I suppose that had I been a successful Übor sandidate I would have to do a bit of g ovelling occasionally, so as to keep right with those who elected me. Still, I wiah these great leaders every success.—l am, etc., A Yotjno New Zkalasdbb. Caversham, May 30.
