ELECTION NOTES.

In reply to a requisition Sir P, D. Bell has consented to be nominated for Waikomiti. Mr li. W. Farnall is announced as a Candida e for Rodney—Mr Sheehan’s constituency. He declares in favor of Sir George Grey. Mr W. B. Toss will, one of the candidates for Coleridge, has declared himself in favor of the North and Middle Islands being made two Provinces, with separate Legislatures and Federal Government for purely national affairs. At the Agricultural Society’s dinner at Christchurch, on November 9, politics were more or less alluded to by several of the speakers. The constituencies were advised by Mr Stafford to elect men of intelligence—those who, if they found that their views wore at variance with those of their con-tituents, wou'd resign. That was the only pledge that a cand.date ought to g;ve; that was a pledge he (Ur Staff ora) woul I give, and none other. He had acted on that, and had retired from a constituency which he had represented for fifteen years. He was then elected by a constituency who honored him unasked with their confidence, and whose suffrages he would again seek. This advice he would supplement by saying “Jet them keep their eye mere than ever on the Assembly,” now tnat it whs probable that other institutions would be swept away. It >s reported from t Jrahaiustown that a telegram has been sent to London, asking Si> Julius Vogd to sc«,ad for the Thames at the next election.
