THE THAMES CANDIDATES.

(To the Editor of the Evening %tar!)

Siß^f^^ the7day of nomination is so near, and none of the candidates save one'has addressed the electors, • I,beg K to inform them that a strong feeling oi dissatisfaction exists, and a belief is now general that they do not intend to seek the suffrages;of;the popple on the ground ;pf their,political prineiptes; for if there is no announcement of their policies by tho present candidates before the nomination, the people will be compelled to accept two spf, them, whether: Jhey agree ,!or disagreewith their lyiews, a3 it;*is not possible i to ,rbring'7 out % anyv jother candidates 'after' the ! nomiriatioril 1 should hope that-those ambitious of the responsible ,and; honorable -position of representative of this constituency would be actuated by- higher motives than such conduct wpulci indicate. ,< I would =theref fore suggest, as time is 'sliorfc that some arrangement be made for the candidates to meet this part of the constituency at one time and one place before the riomU nation; but if they still refuse to take the electors into their confidence, there is only one inference that such conduct will admit of, namely, that such,men desire seats in the House of Representativesv in order ; ,to serve personal. interest ,. and no,t the interest of the people.-—I am, &c.,' An Eiecxob.
