A "SQUARE DEAL."
There were -.•several loud-voiced individuals at Mr Fisher's meeting' last night, who repeatedly called for :i
"square deal,'-' but it was evident that they did not know the Cleaning of the term. While they were asking for a "square deal" from the Minister they were dealing to him from the bottom of the pack. They had no intention of giving to him what they Avere asking from him. This is typical of the disturber of political meetings. He has no sense of fair j day whatever. He is jus* a howler. Last night the howlers were at the top of-their form. They howled indiscriminately—at the Press, at the member for the district, at the Mayor,
and at Mr Fisher. A remark from a Maori overheard in the body of the hall should be taken to heart by the noisy section. lie said: "What are they howling for.' They put them there, didn't, they. 1 suppose it's their ignorance. \Tho Maori ought be ignorant, but he wouldn't do that." And yet these people talk of "British" fair play.
