CHRISTCHURCH.
This day.
Messrs Ingles and Saunders, rival candidates for the representation of Cheviot in the Assembly, addressed the electors of Waikara. A vote of confidence in Mr Ingles was proposed and seconded, and then an amendment, thanking Mr Ingles^ for his address, but stating that no candidate would be acceptable to the district unless independent of the squatters' interest was proposed. It could not, however, be seconded, as though about 50 persons, were present, the proposer of the amendment was the only qualified elector in the room. This was due to the fact that the list of ratepayers sent in to the Registration Officer last year was not signed by the Chairman of the Road Board, as required by the Act. About 50 persons were thus disfranchised. The resolution in favor, of Mr Ingles was carried.
