NELSON FIRST.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.-—The penalty of success is criticism. hence the many letters recently written by those wln> arc not in favour of Mr Atmore. who Inis done more I Inin anv member lor Nelson. sparing nothing in ins successful endeavours, wipe'll have justified his little majority at the last, election. .Mr At more inis slated and acted up to his platform right through his whole career as a statesman, ignoring ihe potty party affairs and voting as liis conscience and heifer judgment guided him. which of course is the only choice of tin Independent, which some of l.is enemies maliciously call rail sitting. As long as we have parly polities, which really should he called "t’licpies. this nonsense will always he with us. .Now. Sir. fair play is beamy play, .and credit should lie given where credit, is due. .Mr Atmnre has helped every c lass of the community irrespective of whc.se party some belonged to or their station in life, and the hundreds (1 mean hundreds) of folks whose matters .Mr Atmore has attended to personally must he remembered by those whip will in ordinary justice remember Mr Atmore on polling day. I am not a personal friend of Mr Atmore or in any way connected with bis committee, only that like every Nelsonian I can pass Ihe time of day anticipating a cheerful reply and a. -smile. Thanking you fur space. I am. etc., NELSON* FIRST.
