Manawatu Herald. FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1890. The Coming Election.

The roters of this Electorate will have to be stirring, as the latest news from Wellington lead us to hope that the Se sion will shortly be drawng to a close. A new bill la to be introduced to expedite the elections, so that conterminous with the clos • of Par iament, there will be a rush of candidates to interview the voters. We earnestly recommend no one to pledge their vote-t until very candidate has been heard, as it i« against the host interests of any district to h -ye eloctors bound any time before the polling day. That a fight wi . take place in overy electorate is certain, owing to ' the redaction in the number of the m in' v.va, of the House. < 'ur prose it rep esontative Mr J. G. Wilson ha-* iutimitid hi* in ention of being a can lidn'p, and we have been inf .r.ued that Mr John Stevens, who has previous y represented Rang;tii;ei nuan to make a push for this distrct. We feel p etty sure th t there will be other candidates, so that it ia unwise to do anything just at present. We do not, by tlioja VemavUn, point to ftny flppomitiott irt Mf Wilujti, bfiOAU** W9 ffli) RUk'o tltit

$he advice tli-^t ■«-.> hava tenderedwould be hi?, air.l, as he has mru'e many a good fight, he is not afraid to face an opponent and the credit to the suece-still candidate i- greater, than to gain the position by a walkover What we want now is some energy t.) be displayed by those interested in the welfare of the town so that organised efforts may bo made to secure the planing on the electoral roll ihe numbers that aro not on it. The Mayor and Borough (.'ouii'-il would be consulting the interests of the district by moving in this matter, as it would have no partisan feeling, the quest on beiug to secure the strength that we possess being available in tho coming struggle Unless some steps are taken, we shall be overlooked f r other portions of the district that have taken steps to secure their wishes being attended to, by having a quid quo to offer to the cmlidate. _______ ! |
