THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE REFORM LEAGUE.
To the Editor of the Colonist, Sib—A writer in to-night's Mail informs us that he is not hostile to the Radical Reform League because he believes ifc "comprises many earnest men who hare joined its ranks with a view to keeping a strict watch over the conduct of public affairs, and using their united influence to prevent mismanagement and to check extravagant action whatever may be the direction in which ifc may develop itself." And yet ha will vote against Messrs. Lightband, Levien, Haddow, and Stringer because the members of the League " using their united influence to prevent mismanagement," &c, intend to vote for those gentlemen—this he says is his sole reason. Tenterden steeple logic this with a vengeance! The League has no proteges to force on the public. If the gentlemen they favor go in, they go in as free and as independent as they would have done had the League taken no action in the matter. I am, &c, Radical Reformer No. 99. Nelson, 7th September, 1874.
