“ Touchstone," a eleven writer in the Napier News, remarks How’s the Gisborne electoral fight going on ? You can pretty well guess how it's going on by the exposure of Arthur published in the News yesterday. Of course he’s not going into Parliament for personal and < pecuniary reasons.’ Oh dear no, not »t all. He gave himself away properly at hia meeting the other night. He said hia letters to Chief Judge Macdonald were not' actuated by 1 pecuniary reason's' and yet when were published in the SjX*!P iRD next morning there was the very phrase 1 for pecuniary reasons,’ What a eat down for him to be sure, A m aa should have a good memory when he elands upon a platform at a political meeting. How did the Standibo get hold of tha letter? Not knowing cat?} say, A very smart bit of work. It will kill all his ehanges, Graham’s case was bad enough, Arthur’s is worse, It’s all Lombard street to a China orange oh Bees now. And lam glad to bear it. RSbs may be a trifle too faddish, too fond of regarding the future as all rose-colored, but he.’a a very earnest man and would have fifty times the influence in the House that Arthur would have. Besides which Arthur is a squatter, and looks at everything from a squatter’s selfish point of view. These woolly monarchs are often woolly brained in everything that doesn’t concern them personally. Don’t worry about tho result. Its a foregone conclusion. The Gisborne folks are not fools, and they have had an experience with Graham which should teach thern a lesson. Doos any one want to back Arthur? If he does let him hurry up to tho News office find I’ll take him up, r .J.
