THE CAPTAIN'S CLOTHES.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegkaph.] Sib, —In your issue of the 11th you give Hastings the credit of removing the stigma off the tailors of Hawke's Bay, which Captain Russell in his election campaign of 1879 cast upon them. To Hastings that honor does not belong, Havelock has done it, and Havelock is proud of the deed, as the fit of the clothes is superior to what the Captain imported from England. So says the Captain, and we believe it, and will vote for him. Besides, is Havelock always to be left out in the cold, anal Hastings get all the sunny spots ? Has Hastings done anything to receive the patronage of the gallant Captain ? Did it get up a requisition ? If bo, did its tailor sign it ? If not, what right has he to expect to be the savior of his trade. Hastings cover thyself with sackcloth and ashes, as thy glory has departed to Taradale and Hayelock. November 14, 1881.
