OUR ALEXANDRA CORRESPONDENT.

TO TUB KDITOIt. jju^—My attention has been called to a paragraph appearing in your issue of October 1-tth, from your Alexandra correspondent, in which 'he attacks y.iur Te Awaluutu correspondent for his remarks upon the coming election andMrHryces standing with tlio electorate. lJt-er does not eat doi; us a rule, and to u resident not far ftwiiv from either locality, I do not see why we should put mote faith in the opinion "f your Alexandra correspondent than wo do in that of Ins brothor of Te Awamutu. Your Alexandra correspondent is pood enough to speak for the Waikato farmers, a piece of cool impertinence on his part. I have no d< übt your correspondent reflect* the opinion of a certain section of his neighbour?, who find many charms in a contested election. -v ls applies to mure than one quarter of the district. You see, a contested election costs money, a good deal of money, there are a Bond many delicate attentions going round at thess times, especially if a voter is undecided. Your correspondents should confine themselves to their legitimate sphere, chronicle facts, and passing events, but leave the expressing of opinions to someone else. —I am, etc., SETTLKIt.
