THE ELECTIONS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —You have the opportunity better than any to shew how easily and satisfactorily this matter can be arranged. Pray do so, and continue to do so, until even the most obtuse will perceive how each and all—both candidates and electors will be benefitted by granting Sir Julius Vogel the scat for the next brief session,— striving to make it appear that he has some particular “ axe to grind ” is of what avail. Suppose in fact, but I contend that it is only bare supposition, that he has. Well let him grind it, or a whole legion of axes, if at the same time he will somewhat brighten the dull edge of ours on the political grindstone. The man has quite enough smartness in him to attend to the whole lot, and we can avail ourselves of it if we like. It won’t be very long for the candidates to wait, and they can have as big a contest as they can possibly wish. It is a chance of a thousand, the having such an unqualified bounteous service freely offered at this very nick of time. The candidates can see it, the electors desire it, and it will be a piece of the most stupendous bungling if not arranged satisfactorily to all. By all means let Sir Julius Vogel represent us this session, it is really the earnest wish of all.—l am, &c., “ Axe to Grind.”
