ANOTHER BRAY FROM MR IVESS.

TO THE EdITOB. Motto : “ Another king arose who knew not Joseph.” Sir, — The lineal descendant of Baalim’s celebrated steed, who is now going in for the Wakanui seat on the working man cum-Catholic ticket, entertained his Wakanui friends last night by singing them iSn address; and it r was an immense success. Every body Jtnows that when this redoubtable champion of the “ homy handed,” etc., makes up his mird to have a thorough go in, when he “ humps up his I shoulders, and laying his ears down a ong his back, goe* in for a good, healthy, whole-souled bray, it is enough to make one envy the sainted dead, and long for the cool and silent grave.” The’hash-up with which we were regaled last night was an undefinable combination of rodo montade snivel, scandal, and Stfnt, en dowed with allopathic quantities of talk, but only homeopathic infinitesimals of sense. The immortal bard of Avon’s de scription of life will fitly apply to the broth which Mr fl. poured out last night— “ It is a tale told by an idiot, -full of sound and fury, signifying .nothing.*' The chair was occupied by Mr James Brown—a worthy vassal of such a noble knight. A gaping crowd of the tag-rag and bobtail of the district listened with rapt attention to the sounding paralogisms of this orator, and cheered him to the echo as he displayed'.before ; them the fireworks of his imagination; ■ and spoke of the “sun of liberty being , high in the heavens,” etc., and he re ceived quite an ovation while he alluded to in anything but complimentary terms to Messrs John Grigg, E. G. Wright, C. P. Cox, Hons. Whitaker, Atkinson, Rolleston, Hall, etc. It need hardly be said that those to whom this scandal mongering was so sweet a morsel were chieily composed of. Irish Catholics. In deed, so enthusiastic was the reception which Mr Ivess received, that he, strange to say, for once overstepped the bounds of prudence, and practically threw off the mask. Towards the close, of his address he said : “There was a party of the electors whose political claims had hitherto been ignored, but he could assure them that their interests were his interests, and, if elected, their claims should receive due consideration at his hands.” This I took to mean that he would support and favor the claims of the Catholic party. So, after he had sat down, and a long pause followed without any questions being asked, I rose and repeated the words given above, and asked him if—“ We might take that as meaning he would sup port the Catholic claims ; or, if not, would he pledge himself not to he a party to any interferance with the present educational system.” When I sat down, Mr Ivess sprang to hia feet, his face livid with fury, and thundered out: “ You must he either a blind bigot or an ignorant fool— to ask such a question as that;” and then went on to say something I could scarcely catch about “ meaning the Orange Lodge, and I must have seen his views in the paper on the education question, and therefore he wouldn’t answer my: ques tion.” After this I made one moie at tempt to speak, but was ordered down by the chairman (James Brown). It is, of course, well known that all through this contest Mr Brown has degraded himself to the level of a servile minion, and cringing lick-spittle of Mr Ivess, .and therefore the public will not wonder at his refusing me the privilege of speaking. Therefore, as I was denied the right of expressing my opinions last night to. a few men, I have no other alternative but to have recourse to the public press, through the columns of which I shall he able to address a much larger number than I should have done had I been allowed to speak at W akanui last night. With re gard to Mr Ivess himself, I cannot say that I look upon him or bis career—as_far as I have had any acquaintance with-it— with any great degree of admiration. There is one thing about him the pos session of which he is scarcely to be con gratulated upon, and that is the possession in a very marked degree of the bump of combativeness, which makes him at times a very strange man to work with, and which has reduced him to the level .of what we might term a social Ishmaelite — one whose hand is against every man, and every man’s hand against him. To those who have opposed him, or whom he fancies have injured him, he has shown himself to be most bitter and vindictive. I need only cite the case of Mr O’lL as an instance of this harsh and unrelenting spirit—a man whom most people.,'tybuld only pity for his unwise action, Mr Ivess him pursues to the bitter end. I do not know whether Sir Ivess will enter an action , for libel against me for saying this ; quite possibly he may. However, there is one thiiig; I feel justified in saying, and that is this, that if any one had said half as much about him as he said about the Hall 'Go vernment and others, there would have been work for lawyers long before rthis. In addition to this, I entertain a most decided objection to returning to Parlia ment a man who is so migratory in his habits as Mr Ivess. In fact, Mr Ivqss is something of a Wandering Jew ; ;h$ jis , here and there and everywhere ijo where for long ft t a time ; and he himself told us that when he was in the Waikato district, he made himself so obhbs&bns that the community turned against him, and he was eventually compelled to wind up his affairs and leave. Moreover, as Mr Wright has been elected for Ashbur ton, it is desirable that we should return a man who will work in harmony with him. This, I fear, Mr Ivess will never do, and thus Wakanui will practically be disfranchised. But let us inquire a little into Mr Ivess’ political creed, and try to dissect or analyse it. Mr Ivess comes for ward as a Liberal of the Liberals. , He tells us that he is a Liberal, or rather that we might dub him as the echo of an ex ploded Liberalism. His is the Liberalism which would result in the demolisa tion of the grand superstructure, of our present system of Government, and which would ultimately result in bringing about a system of mob-rule, , oi, if you like it better, of Communistic i rule. And Communistic rule would bring with it a revival of the long train of i sickening horrors similar to w.hat was bx . perienced during the reign of the ’Opm . mune in Paris in 1871, when the whole ’ civilised world stood aghast and horror struck at the diabolical outrages which i were then perpetrated, and the indiscrimi nate destruction of life and property, ’which then took place under the authority 1 and by the direction of the Coramiibei’ : i said, that Mr Ivess is nothing motb' Aor - the echo of an exploded XuSerll , iahi; by an exploded Liberalism, lieip the Liberalism of old Sir George Grey, of
