MR RENALL AND THE GREYTOWN TOWN BELT.

(Prom the Wairarapa Standard.) Mr Alfred ;W. Reriall is ; 'a sortof, political anfUocal'.'Bprtny Petrol," Llko a turbulent member ; of' tho Salvation Army,--."■ha is' always iu a row."; When.'■ ever the: irrepressible ''Alfred";'gives notice that be is about to lake part in any. local couteat, then moat assuredly it ia destined that' there' shall be a tecriblo rumpus and." wigs upon.the groen." Por somo time :past Mr Renall has. beeu. perforce comparatively iguiescent, be--cause, .unhappily, there .was nothing, to: fight about. But very recently, the old; war horse heard the souud of the trumpet, and sniffed the sound of-'approaching battle!' There'were two ; vaoancies onthe f ' : Haslerton Tew'n' lands Trust, and Mr; Renall offered himself as a Messrs Bißh and Hare being the' two others-in order to denounce ami, if pnssil>!<\ upset an amicable arrangement by wKli. Greytown was to givo the Maslui ion Town Lauds Trußtees a sum of ,£250 for their interest in the in Greytown Town Bolt,. This question is as old as the hills, and the Mstees on both sides almost unanimously*came to> Iho :cpabluvf sion that the proposed £250 arrangement was a just and equitable one for the amicable settlement, of a long-pending dispute bot ween the two townships, But Mr Renall grow, exceedingly wroth,' and vowed by all his gods'that this thing should not be. Ho accordingly wrote a terrible letter to the Stir, ana fell upon the unhappy Town Lapis Trustees of both townships, denouncing them as being: parties ■to the proposed arrangement' which, if carried out, would be of tho most- infamous and atrociously wickod character, covering all concerned, in it with, ineffable.disgrace. Filially, to, try,; to defeat tils project, Mr Renall announced that he was to. contest the oloctioh for tbo'vacait aeatß on the Masterton Town Lands Trust, v , • , ■ All the Mauterton iTrustooS+excopt, we think; a 'fbiathefiklle"nsmed Woodroofo, who made a most idiotic speech against the proposal—are quite agreed as to tho proposed settlement i;> the;, Greytown Trustees are unanimous on the point, while the feeling* of the settlers in Greytown and .Mastarton run almost together in the same direction. Under thesp circumstances, the stspiJ, vicious and silly opposition displayed by Mr Renall ii simply a poaitlve'nuiam'.ce/whioh'we trust, tho Masterlbn Ratepayers will promptly' suppress, And, in (rath, Mr Eenoll, himself, though In some; poliits by- no means a bad follow, Is yet, as a member of any public body, alike stupid; wrong, headed, mischievous and i obstructive,' Mr Renall should forthwith b$ dene to Coventry.'''

"AMD" AGAIN. The irrepresilble "Alfred" liaß' boen" holding forth at Msaterton on,the Trust Lands business. He is alleged to have said that the Greytown people woro great rogues, while he hinted that the 'Master* ton and Grey town Trustees deserved penal servitude, and expressed a pious hope that the Editor of the Daim might obmo'to be hanged. Poor Mr Kenall ?It's a great pity he can't be committod tp, Mount View for three months.' He would, pqo| ■■' down there., • Bromide of potassium and it dark cell would set 1 him'all right. , : ' : Tho hope of-MiAlfred.Wrsenall to' gain a seat on the Board of Town Lands Truateps bias been rud( ?P disappointed, The polling took place at Mastertoty'with the following resdilPr .

'Poor Mf ■ EenaHl Onrvery.hearibi.eedß forhiin, It is almost agonising to think that be " should have written furious letters to the ""•" Star, delivered vehement speeches to the Masterton ratepaye#,£ud generally made ah ass of himself, only to be ignominously. licked at list. . When we think of the. > impotent fury, the violent .rage, land'tho unutterable despair which the unhappy Renall must now be experiencing, a feeling of the tenderest compaaßiou and the gentlest pity wells iip on bur breast'for'•''" ..this sorely tried and: deeply, afflicted, man';- - Oar emotion, in truth, is bo overwholming. that we bow down ourhead, tarn our facei . to the wall and wipe away a tear.
