Sir,—Yonr contemporary the ‘Daily Times,’in a leading article to-day upon the coming election to-morrow, in giving, t ,au, opinion of the several different candidates, does not give me quite fair play, and makes all the other candidates give way to Mr Cartill. No doubt your contemporary admits that I am a promising young man, and actuated by a sincere desire to serve, the com;-: munity at large to the best of my ability, but at the same time that it cannot be expected 'hat I should be at the head of the poll at the first attempt. Now, sir,‘why should ! not be in v hat position to-morrow j or my claims any. less-.than Mr Cargill’s or auy other candidate’s ? Sir. L submit that the claims which 1 put forward in justification of the position which I am now seeking, are the greatest claims which could possibly be put forward before the el ctors of the City, the Province, or the Colony itself. > The foundation of ray claims is that I am, no to' say, a child of I 'uncdin, and consequently of the Colony ; that I have been educated and brought up r ere, and how, when I ain fairly upon the world of business, and taking notice of passing events in the poll lies of the Colony; I am able to judge lor myself as to howto act My political opinions have, so f.-Lr, met with ihe unqualified approval of the majority of electors of Dunedin, and with the residents of many other parts of the Colony, My political opinions having met with success, then 1 say that my fellow electors should entirely overlook the other disadvantage which is, no doubt, placed in my way in my having to compete with such a gentleman as Mr Cargill l am free and independent, and am free to give my opiuions in any way I like, while Mr Cargill is, in a manner, bound, to follow out the wishes of tho.se’who are the means of keeping his business going, and without whose support he could not carry on for a day, viz, the squatters, the sheep owners, and, in fact, all those occupied in raising the staple—wool. I say Mr Cargill is bound to carry out the wishes of those people whatever he may say to the electors to the contrary. Then, if it is known 'that he is bound to them, how can it be pected that he will, impartially, represent. the people in the Council. According to the laws of human nature, it is impossible that he can be expected to do so. He is no doubt a gentleman of high standing, but still that is no reason why all the other candidates should give place to him. Sir 1 can assure you that to-morrow I shall tjosTo the Editor,

sesa no insignificant place'as regards the number of votes polled. I ana the first Dunedmite who has yet appeared to seek a place m a political assembly; and let it not be said, for;the honor of the City,: that the first of its own children who attempted to reach political power was defeated in the first attempt. 1 know that my success is being closely-watched by others who were once on a time my schoolfellows, and who anticipate aspiring one of these days to the position which I am attempting to attain, and it 1 am unsuccessful in ; my first. attempt, it will be the means of damping the courage of these young men. Therefore, for the honor of the City, let the people place the first ibinedm aspirant at the head of the poll to-morrow, ■ ; I am, *c.,> C. R. CHAPMAN.
