THE WAIPA ELECTION.
Sib,— l think your correspondent ' XYZ has- ' transgressed the bounds of fair? criticism in' his remarks m your issue of the 27th insti ; ahuut Major Wilson's reasons for entering the County Council. rlt is decidedly unfair to attack a man's private character m anonymous commu nications, as your, correspondent does when ho says Major Wilson "used his ability to hoodwink the electors lor his own personal gains." No one who has known Mnj iv Wilson m public life will give ihe least beed to such charges, „ which of course he will not condescend to notice. But it is only right that some one who has seen his unswerving integrity m public mattei'3, even to his own loss, should endeavour to prevent the impression "XI Z's " letter would naturally make on new arrivals. In conclusion, let me add that I am ono of the electors who did not vote for Major Wilson on the 27th. inst.— l an}, &c, Settler.
