MR. MALONE'S POLITICS.

To the Editor. Sir,-1 wa s uiie of those who attended Air. ilaloue's meeting ua Alondav, and I must say that ii his speech lie a (rue iudieatiun of the man, we have a better Lihcial i u the field against him. Perhaps I was tired because 1 was disgusted, or I may have beeonie disgust/d as I grew tired. At any rate, 1 was glad when half-past ten o'clock came.; and we were allowed to yawu without I giving offence. Air. Maloiic. amongst other truisms, said. •• In childhood a man is marred or made, and so it is with a nation." Air. Malone must have had r.i unfortunate childhood, and s o with his| political campaign. It has beei, spoiled. 1 in his first outburst, which plainly shows! his bitterness towards the party which so sensibly rejected his overture's. Al:. Alalone's political growth, about two years of it, shows that he has not , outgrown the infantile notion that , prompted him in his efforts to stand ■ for either one side or the other—eitlur would do— at the bye-election. One is tempted to ask the question: Would he.i \Y. CI. Malone, have refused the "brand" of the Liberal and Labour Federation or of the Premier had it been offered to him?—l am, ic.. ELECTOR.
