WASHTUB POLITICS.
TO 188 EDITOR Sir,—After wading through that mess of Libera! po'itioal garbage, which appeared in your last Wednesday’s issue, lam fally convinced that Mr M Gilfedder, who is ranging our *k? aa the political cornet of a season, is as pnre-bred a bieddjnian spaniel as any of the pack that trot humbly at the heels of their royal master. In his pre-election spaeohes he pledged himself to reform the TJppof House by having the members reduced to twenty in number, and nf-w (behold the consistency of the Liberal instinct) be i&forms the Riverton electors that five more Liberal supporters should be added fo that body to get the Old Age Pension Bill passeda The sooner Mr Gilfedder returns to hti school the better for Wallace and the colony, and although be may at present bs able with his parrot-like preaching to gull a few of bis constituents, and be applauded while so doing, be will find that he will have a pretty hard struggle to hold hie seat at the neat political combat. —I am, etc. Elector.
