MR. SMART IN COUNCIL.

To tbe Editor of tbe Evening Star. Sir, —I thank you in the name of all the ratepayers of the city for exposing the little game that is going on among the Councillors to keep Councillor Smart in his seat. There is more under this than probably you know, but I hope you will not let this thing drop. I am, &c, Above Board. [We know a good deal, too, even although we have a look of simplicity. Let " Above Board" bide-a-wee. We are giving the Council time to breathe, and to find the best way of getting out of the mess ; for we don't want to be hard on them. But our eye is fixed on the Council, and in a day or two we shall speak again. — Ed. E.S.] m
