SNOBBISHNESS.
TO THE Ji/DITOR OF THE NELSON EVENING MAIL. Sir, — Can you enlighten the uninitiated upon the followiug subject : What qualification is necessary to entitle electors to •the" few select seats within the, rail iu the Provincial Hall when the Council is iu session? The practice seems to ine a vicious one, and tends to make class distinctions ; besides, it is liable to abuse by allowing privileged persons to bring pressure upon members when they vote In a democratic country no such distinctions should exist. The whole thing savors too much of Snobbery. ' Nelson, May 3, 1871. ; .
