GISBORNE CANDIDATE.
MR ISITT REPLIES TO THE PREMIER. [By Telogrupn -i'ress Association.) Wellington, last night. Speaking at Petono to-night, tho Rov. Mr isitt replied to tho Premier’s Dannovirlto statements, saying that tho whole temperance party determined on nominalions in uncontosted electorates, because of the conditions under which the licensing poll was taken in those districts. 11l Wesluud, were there no contest, 2333 persons might voto for reduction, and the poll would he void, because 2335 refrained from voting. Those 2335 might includo many who purposely refrained from voting in order to kill tho poll, or many who wore dead, absent, or ili, or liad been fraudulently enrolled. So long as every silont namo stands thus for continuance, tho Alliance will spare no pains to secure tho contest in every electorate, tho responsibility resting with thoso who made and maintained the law.
