To the Editor. Sir,— Will you kindly' give me space for the insertion and the reply u> what appeared in ypur paper of the 22nd, a letter from “ Danoiqinationalist'stating Mr Iress promised, on the foundation stone of the Catholic Church being laid, he would rote for Catholic education. He did. nething of the sort. He did net speak, but he simply read the address to ( Bishop Redwood, and I ray without the smallest consideration that “ Denominationali&t ” will not have' the pluck to come forward and gijre his name. Sir, I don’t deny I voted for Mr Ivess, also for Mr . Walker,' and I got as many votes as I could for both. I have, no doubt, made many bad friends. Thia T don’t care one' bit about, and .I know that tyhen voterf come to look at the true side of the question, and particularly the question of Catholic education, I acted not as a party man but as a supporter of a principle.. I have dona my duty as far as Ashburton and Wakanui are concerned. I voted for Ivess and Walter. —lam, etc.,
Edmund Coffey.
