TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— l quite agree with your correipondent’s letter in last night’s issue, that the candidates for office to the Borough Council should convene a meeting to expound their views. If any one studies the addresses of the five aspirants for public honors, they must conclude that none of them pledge themselves to anything definite; they arc delightfully vague and indefinite—one would imagine they were drafted by their respective lawyers. Each and all claim to bo perfectly independent, beyond the influence of any clique, and quite disinterested ; ready to sacrifice themselves to any extent in the interests of the Borough. Now, sir, any man who professes to all of these motives is surely not afraid to stand up before the public and state definitely what he intends to uphold and what to condemn. There are several questions the ratepayers feel concerned about, viz., Common, Shelton, and Co. ’s Wharf; the Water Scheme ; Fire Brigade ; and the official administration of our affairs.—Yours, 4c., Gisborne, Feb. 9. Rushlight.
