THE GLADSTONE ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOB. Sib,—-What a lot of button-holing and that kind of work is being done just now with our Tory friends (as they call themselves) in showing people the best man to vote for. They think no one has any good sense except themselves, and so they are trying to show us the man to return. He is the best man, they say, vote for him. That's all they will say about it. If you ask them a question they say he is the best man to send. They seem to want us to believe that this Political Club has got a wonderful secretin hand that we cannot learn from them. They are a secret society, and they want us to join them by telling us he is the best man. We cannot do that, we must have something different to that to go to the poll with. We are not blind. We can see by their actions, if they will not tell us with their tongues, a little about the best man, they are wolves going about in sheep's clothing preaching Liberalism. But we can see they mean to deceive us if they can by the secret way in which they have been carrying on. Eemember, brother electors, the polling place is a secret place. There is no one oan know who you vote for. Do not vote against your wishes. Come, like men, we have got new blood in the field now and let us try them. We want good Liberals. We have seen a little, let us try and see more liberty yet, —I am, etc., A Rangitaia Electob.
