MR. REMINGTON AND THE FREEHOLD.
To the Editor,
Sir,—Mr GELiggie, in his reply to mine, has intentionally or unintentionally missed the podnt. Mr Remington has never (so far as I am aware) had an opportunity of voting for granting the freehold to the tenants who have taken up land under the Act of 1892. His vote on the land for settlement, in which he voted against the freehold he explained co clearly^ that I am sure if (Mr Higgie availed himself of hearing Mr Remington at Okoia he would have 'been convinced that Mr Remington's vote on that matter is in the best interest of the freeholders themselves, and if he was not at that meeting if he will take the trouble to question any of those who were I am sure he will feel impelled to write to your paper admitting that he is wrong in attempting to make the public believe that Mr Remington is against the freehold. To sum the mutter up once more, Mr Rem-. ington is and always has 'been willing to extend the option of the freehold to those under the Land Act of 1892, but he is not willing to do so to those who acquire properties that have been taken away from others. I will leave it at thab, and ask freeholders to calmly judge for themselves who is in the right.—l am, etc., g. (McGregor.
