NOTES FROM WELLINGTON.

TO THB EDITOB N.Z. TABLET. Sir,—ln last night's issue of the Evening Pott appear! the reply of the Most Rev Dr Mnran to your q jestion re womanhood suffrage. I have every reason to believe that during the campaign of the general election this reply of Dr Moran's will be used by our enemies to prove that Dr Moran, in speaking to the Catholics of New Zealand, b»« clearly stated that they are only expected at the coming election "to vote for the candidates they may conscientiously consider mote capable and willing to promote the interests of the Colony." Now, when we have such faddists as Sir Robert and dodgers as "Our George*," those men will go so far as to say : Your venerable champion bat not here (in quoting local) said a single word regarding Catholic claims. Bat, you will say, Catholics should at this stage know their duty m regards the education question. Ye°, but we have also the history of the past before us, and know well during the excitement of an election bow easily men are turned away from the path of duty. Hii Lordship dwelt only on the exercising of the privilege. Bat, v I have said, our enemies will use it against us, for all who are not with as are against us. The very fact of this appearing in the columns of tbe Evening Post reminds me very forcibly of the reply of tbe great Dr Doyle (J. K.L.). A gentleman made the remark that the introduction of tbe Bible into the schools would play the d 1 with the children. No, said Dr Doyle, but the d 1 would play his pranks with the children by means of the Bible.—Substitute local in B.P. for Bible, and the knight for devil, and the free and independent electors for children, and you won't be far out.—l am, etc., Wellington Catholic.
