CORRESPONDENCE.

COUNCIL MATTERS. [(To the Editor Gisborne Times.); Sir, —Just a few lines in reply to Mr Somervell and the physio he talks about.

It is strange to me that he did not tako a ( dose of Cr Lysnar’s medicine. If ho had \ he would have occupied a seat on the Council to-day, but the ratepayers, seeing that he had had his day without achieving any marked progress other than following the lame horse, they quietly passed him out. If Mr Somervell has read history it has not improved his manners, otherwise he would not call me a charlatan or a political huckster for taking a part in the good government of this young country. "Without further comment, I shall do as r_ the ratepayers did, and pas 3 him out. Now my friend Cr Sheridan has a lot to S( '; on principle, but 1 cannot for the life how principles are carried out by 'CPi""Sheridan. Let him answer this straight question—What was Mr Hay’s opinion on steel rivettod pipes, and how did Cr Sheridan vote in the face of the report ? Jtn regard to my throwing off the m9ek of anonymity, I must reply that I do not hit below the belt, and I have . nothing to advertise other than I live by morib. Or Sheridan should take some of Cr Lysnar’s physic to provont him suffering from the same discaso that brought about Mr Somervell’s downfall. — l am, V etc,, - A EUPHRATES.
