MORE MISTAKEN IMPRESSIONS.

[To The Etittok Post.l Sir,— ! regret the tone and object to the misstatements contained in your footnote to my letter. You state: "I admitted your reporter was quite right." Your report omitted a charge and a subsequent apology made by the Mayor. 1 have never admitted that that omission was quite right. 1 admitted that as far as I personally was concerned it was not necessary to report the apology, as the -Mayor did not intend this apology to mitigate bis rather severe remarks which you published. -My aspirations for a public position exists only in your opinion, as, so far. my sole act towards that has been the signing of a nomination paper two years ago, entirely against my interests and desires. Your statement that "I rushed into print in an attack on the integrity or accuracy of another individual on a mere impression," is contrary to fact. Your paper published a column beaded: "Cr. Fredric holds up the meeting for -10 minutes." J trust you will admit 1 was entitled to give reasons for my action, and also to mention any omission in that report, and how you can assert that the fact of my writing a letter pointing out those reasons and mentioning the omission of the Mayor's apology in your report, was "rushing into print" is an attack on any person's integrity or accuracy is incomprehensible and not reasonable.—J am, etc., J. FREDRIC. (We really must ask Mr Fredric to excuse: it is a trifle over the odds to expect that either himself or his further consignment of "impressions" be taken quite seriously. Nobody does take Mr Fredric seriously (at least quite so seriously as he feels he ought to be taken) with the single exception of.Mr Fredric himself. Therefore, what he may happen to regret, or admit, or think, or even go so far as to state, does not matter: his impressions as given above are still mostly mistaken ones.—Ed.
