ELECTION TACTICS.

The tactics adopted by the Red. Fed. element in the L3atelton electorate are not likely to gain the sympathy of those electors who pride themselves in their love for British fairplay, the freedom of speech, and things that are co-related. The Red Feds, absolutely refused to give Mr Malcolm Miller, the Reform > candidate, a hearing at Woolston. This is characteristic of those who clamour for freedom of speech. They are the most tyrannous, the" most slavish' creatures on the face *6f tho earth. But, after all, are they not following the example that was set by their allies, the "Liberals," when Mr Massey visited Christchurch a few months back?. And are they not carrying to a logical conclusion the tactics of that party in the House wliich held up legislation because it did" not suit their book? They all seem to be tarred with the brush. Nevertheless,-there is iri the country^—outsidb Christchurch and its fashionable suburbs—a strong sentiment in favour of those British traditions that, have beeji the bulwark of the nation, ithose traditions of freedom which were won at the stalce, and by the blood of martyrs.
