MR GIBSON AGAIN.
[To The Editor Stratford Post.] Sir, —In a recent issue of your paper there was a reply to a former letter of mine. I had not intended to trespass further on your space, but as My Hawkins has made some insinuations against me it would be advisable to let him know that they have no foundation except in his own mind. If his politics have no saier foundation, he has a very rotten marie to build upon. Let me tell the candidate that Gibson does not use any one else to talk for him, noi does he impute mean motives to another. ' Further, he does not report meetings as being “enthusiastic ,-and practically unanimous,” when only one-tenth of those present record their votes of confidence in the Ward party, Mr Hawkins, as a critic of my writing, is good. %He says, ‘the style and wording of his letter does not show it.” Certainly Mr Hawkins they “does” not. The good taste was an imitation of Mr Hawkins’ own style, the “candidate Hawkins” being considered as good as the “irresponsible Gibson.” It seems to me that rather the candidate is smarting under the lash. His Te Wera friends are so much taken, with his abusive style that the gag, “Worse than dynamite,” now is . rendered. “Worse than Hawkins.”—Yours, etc.. W. GIBSON.
Te Wera, 13-11-14. (Delay in receipt of above letter at this office occurred.—E<l. "Stratford Post.”)
