DEMOCRACY AND GUINEA BANQUETS.
Sir,—Tho spectacle of democracy entertaining its democratic Prime Minister at guinea banquets so as to keep out common people should inspire tho workers and Liberals of Wellington. Possibly our one hereditary titled personage, Baronet Sir Joseph Ward, is more, comfortable amongst tho guinea sivell-ocracy than amongst tho common psoplo who havo put him in office.' Or is it that he is too modest to appear before his old friends iu his new nobility, or afraid that ho may hurt their feelings by making more apparent than ever their insignificance compared with his own exalted self? Well, let him havo his guinea-a-timo • swellocracy.. He will want our votes, but wo do not want a titled aristocracy for our ■rulers.—l am, etc., SICK OP IT.
