Nelson Evening Mail, Volume XIV, Issue 230, 9 October 1879, Page 2

To the Editor of the 'Evening Mail.' Sir— As your paper finds its way into every part of the electoral district of the Waimea, be kind enough to find space for these few lines concerning that district. If the electors will turn up the pages of the Colonist some four or five months ago they will be able to see some severe strictures on Mr Micandrew for breaking his promises to the Nelson members in not proceeding with the West Coast railway, for which he obtained a vote. I think, of £60,000. It "may be that it is the air of Wellington that leads people on to break their pledges and promises, for, see the effect it has had on the member for the Waimea. I have heard that this gentleman has a large quantity of brains, but if so I think there must be a malformation. I wonder if his Committee ever got a phrenologist to feel his bumps, if not, the sooner they do the better, before he does any more mischief to Nelson, for they should remember that each of them stands a kind of godfather or sponsor for his good conduct, Ido not suppose that they have not brains enough to see their own p3sition, but none of them appear to have the courage to make the first move, and as there are a number of them who are engaged in diiferent sort 3of business they ought to know that time is money, aud the sooner they take this matter in hand the better. — I am, &c , Another Elector.
