THE REPRESENTATION OF THE EAST COAST.
An exchange says that the representation of the East Coast Electoral district will be hotly contested at the next general elections, and the electors will have plenty of candidates to choose from. Mr. Allan McDonald, the present member, Mr. Vesey Stewart, Mr. E. M. Edgcumbe, Captain Porter, Mr. W. L. Rees, Mr. J. W. Johnson, and Mr. S. Locke, have all expressed their willingness to come forward at the right moment and woo the suffrages of the electors. It is not at all improbable, however, in the event of a redistribution of seats, and of Captain Russel and Mr. Sutton opposing each other for the representation of the Napier country districts, that Mr. Locke will consent to stand in opposition to both of them, and should this be the case the chances are lie would be returned at the head of the poll.
