MR LOUDON'S WITHDRAWAL.

I'O THE EDITOR. Sir, —Wo arc told that a prophet possesses no honour in his own country. To bo precise, the election produced one seli-concoived prophet in Mr Loudon. Lot when lie made his bold stand, little did ho consider the aftermath. I. would like to ask is Mr Loudon to he a Liberal in future!' I cannot see for the life of me that he can continue as a, member of the United Party, lie tried his best to lot the Uni teds down, and it is up to the local executive to pass the same lonic on to Mr London if he, is not prepared to tender his resignation. Ho is not wanted in the party, and the executive should immediately request him to resign.—l am, etc., Tuck Liberal. November 21. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —As an aftermath to the election one local topic of conversation among Liberal voters appears to be the silent attitude of Mr London anent his withdrawal from Chalmers, from Auckland to the Liult' the people of New Zealand have proclaimed in no uncertain manner; “-We want Ward. ’ Truly the dominion has paid a great tribute to Sir Joseph, and the “ boom, borrow, and bust ” has been thrown hack with unerring force. Already there is a buoyancy in trade circles, and no person is in a belter position to-day to emphasise such a telling lactor than Mr London. What has Mr Loudon to say on the result of Ihc election? After the confidence bestowed 'upon Mr Loudon by the Otago executive of the United Party, ! must compliment Mr Cahill on raising tho question of Ids resignation. He can never again be recognised by the United Party, lor in connection with his withdrawal 6f. r Loudon did not at

first (as was his bounden duty) consult. with the local executive. He rushed pell-mell into the Reform circles and announced his attitude _to his opponents before communicating with his confreres. Mr Loudon can never again be publicly designated as a supporter of the United Party,-—I am. etc., Green Island. November 23.
