MR. COHEN'S FACTS

To the Editor. Sir,-—»I would like to.point out to your readers'a few facts that I noticed mere especially at the Saturday night NoLioense meeting. Mr Oohen got up on the box, and, as if ashamed of putting -his wn melodious powers of elquence down to the same level ?>« budding and ■experienced speakers, .said something to this effect: " I wmild ndt have gob on ■iihis box if I had nob heard my name mentioned." Like >M.r Cohen, I am neither a budding ncr experienced speaker, and, therefore, did not speak. M«r Oo'hen, with all the butter and plausibility of an angel in sheep's eloftlhj ing, triod to bamboozle us, the hum'bl©

crowd. Perhaps he might have managed it after all, but tlie poor little parson held him to his point. There was a great row aibout what the parson said at Anamoho, 'but iMir Oohen decided in favour of the parson, falling back off the press quotation by placing the word "if " before it. Mr Cohen bad a lot to say ah Out the respeotahility of the*1 local hotel keepers, as thought anyone had ever disputed the fact. What, I think Mr Oohen was trying to express was this, that if Prohibition was oarried, he, as counsel for the Licensed Victuallers' Association, /would know it 'by the decreased amount of worlj he must necessarily get from, that foody. I noticed that 'Mr Cchen, like (Mr Palmer, was very careful not tbo .answer the very plain questions which the Rev. Mr Drake put to them aibout the Aramoho •meeting. Why did he not attempt to explain how it was that the report which appeared in the " Herald " was so different to the report lihey had sent away by the afent? I mjsel? aim inclined to regard (Mr Cohen's utteatances as mere frivolities, sand not in the light of a speech from such <a learned and clever counsel. If in anything I have erred from the truth would iMr Cohen kindly correct. —I am, etc., WORKING CHAP.
