SIR G. GREY'S POSITION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l was present at Sir George Grey's meeting at the City Hall on Wednesday afternoon, and heard him state that he had no connection with any other candidate that he was independent, and stood before them at the request of a large number of the citizens. I at once asked myself the question, Why, if this were the case, does he allow his name to figure in the public prints in conjunction with Napier and Thompson as the nominee of the Liberal Association, and why has he not long since requested the Association to remove his name from their ticket? I do not wonder at Sir George disliking the company he is in, but it is scarcely honest, even for a politician, to disclaim the connection and yet take advantage of the efforts of the Association to return him in conjunction with Napier and Thompson. I for one cannot give the veteran statesman credit for consistency until he removes his name from the ticket and thus shows the electors that he I really has no connection with any other | candidate.—l am, etc., Consistency.
