MR ARTHUR ALEXANDER.

THE FOUNDATION OF LIBERALISM.

One of the special features of this week's holiday attractions will be the pianofo t» recital of Mr Arthur Alexander, to take place at Burns Hall on Thursday at 8.15. Those who can appreciate well-known classical works are recommended to take the opportunity of listening to ono who has established a reputation as a brilliant exponent of piano playing. Reporting his last recital in London, one paper said: "Mr Alexander has a way with him at the piano, which compels one's closest attention. lie appears to feel the true valne of every note he plays, exaggerating nothing, omitting nothing."

TO THE EDITOB. Sir., —Mr Scott is r&parted as having 6aid iii his speech at Naseby that Sir John Hall introduced manhood suffrage, and thai Sir Harry Atkinson laid the foundation of Liberalism in this oountry. Of course, manhood suffrage is the foundation of Liberalism, and the above two assertions are, therefore, destructive of each other. It is generally accepted that Sir George Grey laid the foundation of Liberalism in this country, being the champion of manhood suffrago. and tlie uncompromising opponent of the property vote, for Which the Hall-Atkinson Party stood, besides being the author of our Liberal constitution. Ap parently Mr , Scott has not heard of Sir George Grey. It is a long, long way to those old political battles, but our hearts are still in them. Let Mr Scott recall them by all means.—l am, etc., A Gbetite.
