COUNCIL MATTERS

£To the Editor Gisborne Times., if fc>ir. The extraordinary construction i placed on my written words by your cor- ■ respondent “ Euphrates” clearly demonstrates that ho roads as incorrectly as he writes. He probably imagines he has scorod hoavily in alluding to my defeat in the recent election.. I .would assure him that such defeat was not altogether un- ' welcome to mo, inasmuch as it re) ; eved me of an amount of labor in a ■' which involved on my part no life 1 from public duty. lam novertbelij* 00a . , y fident that had I devoted one half of the < time and expense it cost his pet candidate my seat would have been assured. I-have ' bad the honor of representing the borough for a groat number of years and it is not unlikely that Cr Lysnar’s popularity will fado more rapidly than -did mine. For “ you can fool all the publio some of tbo time, somo of the public all the timo, but you can’t fool all the public ajl the time.” ' I submit what your correspondent in. tended to wtito simply proved my major assertion. Yours, cto. J JOHN SOMEEVEHL;
