PATRONAGE.
The Wanganui.Herald, which we had occasion to take to task the other day for suggesting patronage on the part of the Reform Government, supplies a whole column of answer. From whence? From the New Zealand Times, if you please I The Wanganui Herald is'quite satisfied that if the New Zealand Times says there has been boycotting and patronage by Mr Massey and his colleagues, that statement must be accepted as gospel. We may be pardoned for saying that we do not place quite the same construction upon the "discoveries" of the-New Zealand Times as does our Wanganui contemporary. The New .■2realandTim.es;. for instance, bases its Charge of "boycotting". On the fact that it has not been able to compete with its morning contemporary in, securing Parliamentary news items. This is about the flimsiest pretext for a charge of "boycotting" that we have ever heard. And, as for the charges of patronage that have been made—well, all we can say is that if We fcufoatet gwe£*d by tfc« Times oaa
be construed into patronage, we shall have to look for a more expressive term with which to,describe the peccadilloes of the discredited Liberals.
