CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the 'Evening Mait,.' Iu — Mr Graham iu quoting me yesterday, I understand, repeated* what had been reported to him as having been said by me, not publicly on the platform, but to some one in the street. Such remarks are usually strengthened in the repetition, and in this case there has been no exception to the rule. I am quite prepared to believe that I did say that to have Mr Graham returned to the House instead of Mr Curtis would be a great calamity, and I have only now to say that I think so still, but that it would be " the greatest calamity that could possibly happen to Nelson " I certaiuly didiuot say, and inasmuch as such a statement might be understood to convey an amount of "animus," which I beg to assure Mr Graham and his friends has no existence so far as I am concerned, I wish to correct the statement. The whole contest has been carried on with the most praiseworthy moderation ou all sides, and I should regret very much ludeed were it supposed by anyone that my own feelings did not cordially agree therewith. I am, &c, James Sclanders. Nelson, Sept. 10, 1879.
