THE RANGITATA ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOE, 1 Sib,-— The curtain is withdrawn now, and I hope that my brother farmers see. more plainly that the time has arrived when we can help ourselves by the exercise of our own free will. I do hope that all will think over 'his most important matter in their minds, and think how hard we have been put to in the pas*. Let them all study to do their duty and love their neighbors as themselves, and then things may be easier for all.'. Let us take the reins and see whether we can pull the country out of the ditch it is now in. Let us all puli together, and in time out it will come. But it will take time. ' The Squatters who are making so much noise about driving are poor drivers. They have driven themselves and-us too into this ditch and are trying to put us at the bottom, but they are blind and forget what a fix they are -in themselves. We have eyes as well as the squa ters, and have got feeling too, but we want to help the country out of the

muddle they have got it into. They say Mr Bolleaton is a good man, but let them show us his goodness The squat* ters’nominees have tried and failed, so we cannot trust them any longer. I would advise my brother electors to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing, and refuse to be bought at any price. Act as men. Money is very enticing, but let them recollect that they have to pay dear for it. We have got new blood in the field, and let us try it.—lam, etc., A Bbotheb Elector. September Bth, 1887.
