The ingenious movements I put for a. to hav.i the Updii bridge down I at the lower ford, which, although most | iii''onv>-nienl for the puhli -, suited to open | ;ip hi- land, wi'l not re li'v he forgotten, i and. the fiili.'o atdcanpt recently to prevent ; tie Temnlsii lvoad Boaril taking steps to I 'ovidia that river at the upper ford, does I not say much for his disinterested philan- | throphy. Tli.ise conplnl with the fits and | starts which -has characterised his public hfe do not wan ant ;s in recommending ! him to the. electors. Indeed, except that j he holds a considerable, stake in the country, wo do not see what ho has to recommend him. for although it is not abso. lntely necessary to hive a classical scholar as a Alemher of Parliament, conimo i di-eencj' demands ihat our representative should nnt dime the Queen's English. If wc wish our Alembcr to command seme respect in the Hou&e he must be able to speak in a proper manner. Air Hayhurst wns once elected a Al'inber of the Canterbury Provincial Council, but we are not aide to pul our fin»a'r on any great work that he than ddd. As a Alember of the Uoad IJa.ird. or other I'c.d body, he could make hims, If very useful by his large practical knowledge of small local matters, but beyond this we dare not recom- ] mend him. As our representative in the Oonera! Assembly, may the Powers deliver us. Our opinion has been given in this journal that the North Island Members .ire much ahead of the Middle Islmd AL'rubers in ability and tact. This lias been proved to be a fact over and over again consequently it is 'he duty of. and to the interest of. the cl 'efors in this important district to choose a man who will be able to hold his own as well as to command respect. This we do not think Air Hayhurst would I bo abh -.to do. Moreover, an eve to self j koine, -o prominent a, feature in Ids charucI tv r. we Invp no reason to bebeve that he ' '\a;hl i,.to': his seat a moment longer I than ii suits his own purpo-o. his conduct j in thi/ past lias been marked by fits and • -v.rrs. at o:n: ijmr he. when he had some ' parp a-.: to serve, van- ■■. candidate for the ■ b .-ad :'(■■. :■!. il'r objae-t being gained or \ his views frm ! r•■. «'d ha fi eu - oif a t a 1 i-reaeat a.aa: i","t tiie d'V.rict for years \oj ge:her.

but when an advcr-e decision is given I't .iminodi iti-ly vanishes from view aud i not seen or heard of for years- it jlocil matter-. Is I his the miii for tin electors to choose 'I We trow no'c. Some ] how, whenever another eooies into tin I field, ilr Iliyliurst is sure to come to t'o . front, -md spod the alt'dr. Like the ston iof olio who cannot tret to ' ; J cerium place li'in jT hi- proven! " otiie: j f'.-oin eciting- (hove. So ii) the <m. jof tin i Gerldine ohet'on. Ob Ito fi.st occa~,iou o a member at the last ho,>r ho s'> .-»s uj and lets Hie man in, who was not a rtsi dent hi the distiiet. So on the '\n\ j-n occasion no snore tin ■ M- t'o ;t'et'iwa' : announce h'm.t-r, than this wottld-bi honor.. Lie memb.-r s.a>-!s up and claim attention. L is very well to have a mom her who has a stake in tiie d'-unet, bu we have im sympathy with file man who i so erratic in his movements and as in fh p;"-t hit it ho in the on sent instanci relegate liim to oblivion for it wi'l no do for this district to couiniit it..- inte'esi to the care of a niAti who would take n< position in the House. We have only oni candidate more to draw attention to That is Mr Posllethwaite. This gentle man is not an eloquent speaker bn he sp<-,--ks with an evident earnestness o purpose which, akhough we have no per sonal lo\'e for the candidate, we eanno withhold our supuort to him on publh grounds, lie viewing his past career then is much that wo must give him credit for. he Ins managed the Gerahiine Road Boarc affairs web and economically, he ha; also come out as the title friend of tin small farmers, by taking them out of tin. hiiuds of tho.e ava'icioi'S robbers win have stripped them naked and turned them adrift year after year.- The l''armers Cooperation is to be the salvation of the Fanners Mi- went in to this business with heart and soui. Again, Mr Postl.etUwaite is a sensible man, and bus liai. long experience in public matters, llis i.nerests rvo now identical with our own. Tin-facts that iiia proposer, MrPage, stated on the hustings speak volumes for ihe genlUmaa nominated. There is no doubt, but he will be a hard-working member who wi'l not be bought, neither will he be a place hunter, and although he lias a good deal to learn yet we know that he \s an honest man that can be 1 rusted. He will also carry weight in the house and will be always at his post and will not throw into the waste basket the humble, memorials of his constituents, Living amongst us he is accessible at all tim?i and approachable personally without any middleman, he will also oppose any double dealing, and do his best to prevent a prolongation of the run lease swindle. IPving thus passu! in review ihe three candidates our honest conviction js that our ituc-vists will be be--t attended to iud 'joino wish.-;-; best consulted as well as the honor of the district best secured by returning the lasi mentioned gentleman at ihe top of the poll. This journal has no object to terve by recom. mending the -lectors to vote for Mi Posllethwaite, nay the opposite the fact oi the care, but as journalists om. duty is to consult the public interests, not our own.
