THE RECENT NO LICENSE CONVENTION.
Sir, —Your correspondent " Truth " write in your issue of to-tlay in an obvious tone of auger ratlier than of sorrow concerning the strictures by "St. David" on the contradictor}- attitude Mr Hewitson has assumed on the question of 110-licsense. His bitter sectarianism is very unhappy, for it looks inucli liko a reversal of the old quotation about "helping a lame dog over a stile." I fancy .\ii' Hewitson may fairly exclaim "Defend me from my friondsl" The rev. gont.lema.n's best defence against "St. David's" exposure of his inconsistencies wotnd be more acceptable and probably carry more weight ware it to oopi! from himself. i panngt refrain froni ootifliiut- \yiili
tlie utlorly inconsequent, and slangy attempt. at metaphor of Mr A. C. Robertson, in his effusion—happily, for his own reputation as a would-bo loader of human thought, very short—in to-day's paper in which ho refers lo "St. David's" "humps'' and "kinks" in "mind" and "soul." Verily, he should speak fitly or be wisely silent.— I am, ele., Vedette.
