THE BRYCE AFFAIR.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—The method just adopted by the majority of our House of Representatives of getting rid of the leader of the Opposition must be generally recognised as a most deplorable falling off from the spirit of fair play which should characterise party warfare in the House. _ Ihe public should, L think, have something to say regarding an action that distinctly degrades the character of Parliament, and which involves more important results than the questions which separate political parties. The party known at present as the Liberal party, although their representatives in the House are responsible for the disgrace, have really more to gain by preserving the prestige of the House than their opponents, for under the growing "one-man-one-vote" principle their power in the House will be greater than anywhere else. As the House has now declined to repair their own mischief, it is time for the public to express their view of the mutter, and I would suggest that public meetings should be called for that purpose.—! am, &c., , , One of the Public. Auckland, September 2, 1891.
