'Elector' writes in reference to the Mayoral election : — Years of malignant misrepresentation have so benumbed the Chronicle's sense of decency that one is scarcely surprised to find it openly gloating over a ttiok which it would have been the first to deuounce in unmeasurod terms had the result been in favour of the man it has for a considerable time, and for political reasons, been endeavouring to hound down. The Ohroniole is the mouth-piece of an opponent of gambling, a man who poses as • unoo quid,' yet not the gentlost remon strance is uttered against the ' little gamble ' which crowned with Mayornl honors ils pot candidate. But what a wild outcry ib would have raited had the ooin declared for Mr Hatrick, whose business oapaoity, boundless energy, and sterling character the editor has privately had to admit over and over again. Bailing ever at party and political colour, the letter's sense of justice is com pletely warped, and his perceptions abso lutely blinded by party and politioal con siderations.
