The Coming Election.

To tht Editor of the Standard

Sir —ln vour issue of the Ifiih inst., I noticed a letter sL.ind H.U.G., and f. ,m what can gathered from it, he attempts to pok • c Pe'ceH a leader «ppe»i<>,g !•, the Carterton Uh-e- >r <>n lu.bUiv ,V hj. I must say he uvs proved hnns-11 an utter failure. It is evident H O.G. is not an editor or oven aspires to that position, simply I suppose for the, want of education, and for a person who is found wanting in abilities to criticise a leader of auy paper in the manner he does, merely makes a public exhibition of himself, as the letter referred too plainly shows. I for one can make neither head or tail of it, and if we are to have letters appearing in print bearing on the qualifications of candidates who aspire for the honor of representing this district, let them be common sense ones, not the grunts of a H.O.G, I am, <feo., Fair I lav.

To the Editor of the Standard.

.Sin,—Your correspondent Mr H. 0.0,, conden, as most strongly, an article which ap. pearod in the Observer of Tuesday last ; and whinh Lc assarts was written by a certain 1 M: Pig," and which he style’ a childish effusion. Now, Sir, I think to any 1 liily read mao the at tide in question might he taken '.o be the production of a man given to think laiily between one aide and another, and also me wh.,, diffeiing from H. 0.0, might boast in leing the happy possessor of a fair education, 'low, Sir, would it not be better eveu lor a □an to lie childish than to so far loose his uanly soouesjaa to devote his spare lime to vriting sarcastic effusions to the papers ooneimng an old and well tried public servant, fith whom many of us might remember when ven Mr H. 0.0. was pleased to meet him rniiingly and open handed. As far as what mr old member has done for us, why even he old ory, as some are pleased to urm it, s quite sufficient for many of ns, via., the toads and Bridges, which it cannot be denied have proved for a certainty a great boon, not only to u» old settlers, but also to Imae who have arrived since. Then as reards principles, why possibly H. 0.0. may be measuring another's fruit in his own pottle, am when next be sits down to write I trust it will be with a better feeling towards bis fellow men, I am, ito..
