INATTENTION TO POLITICS.
The last campaign, says Mr D. Buddo, showed that in some parts of the country there has been some i inattention in political matters. Mr I Buddo is not often cryptic, but this 'latest addition to the various explanj ations of the Government's defeat . leaves us pondering, 'lhe only parts of tho country that tho Ciiristchurch j , Press can think of as displaying any •• inattention in political matters," were Canterbury and the West Co.i&t, and even in those provinces it was ■rather a case of wilful stodgy clinging to worn-out shibboleths and riieer indifference to reform, than a< oual inattention on the part of the electorates, that was responsible for. the | election of so many supporters of a moribund Ministry and a discredited cause. As regards other parts, of the Dominion, the word is ludicrously inaccurate. It might as well be said that tho Australians were defeated at Adelaide because of the "inattention" of the Englishmen, and that the Chinese Court has sent in its resignation because of a similar lack of interest on the part of the revolutionaries.
