THE WARD WATERLOO.

To the Editor. J Sir, —It was exceedingly amusing to I see tho "Herald" last X'riday head the ; result of the Wanganui poll "Overi whelming Defeat ox tne Upposition." ■ Tiiero is notnmg like cheek. vJonsider- ! ing that hundreds of the Opposition i voted for Mr Veitch, this is not bad. ] How Mr Yeitch can be reckoned to be > on the "Herald's" side, considering ho j has promised to uso his vote to Kick

out tho ward Government, passes my

i comprehension. Perhaps the " Herald" i will explain. The country is sick to J death of the present opportunist Administration, and Wanganui is going to give a very emphatic verdict against them on Thursday next. Even though Mr Mackay's supporters are expected | to vote for Mr Hogan to a man, it will ! bo found, when the numbers go up, that they have used their own common sense. j As far as Wanganui is concerned, Waxdi ism is as dead as Julius Caesar, and tho " Herald may as well prepare to perform their usual acrobatic somersault of steering south by north. In fact, they seem to have already had a vision of the writing on the wali, and evidently feel inclined to drop the Ward Government instanter. —1 am, etc.,
