IJifif lbll6j»iDg expression of opinion on * the Thames candidates is from the columns of the Free Press:--" The approaching election is creating considerable excitement at the Thames. The announcement that Sir George had decided to sit for Christchurch, if elected, has fired the breasts of a few place hunters, with a sanguine hope of obtaining a seat under the garb of the Grey mantle, put on only for the time, as a covering for their political duplicity. Ehrenfried is at present the only independent Grey candidate in the field ; he would I.b.eHere,.if returned, support the Premier in all questions calculated to advance the interests of the colony, and the Thames district iv particular. The remaining candidates are entirely in the hands of the B. N. Z. at the corner, and, consequently, are the pledged and compelled followers of the Land ring. Our local member who seeks re election has, by his connection with that institution, ended his career as a representatire of the people. His constituents hare pronounced his demise, (political) suicide. An. inquest is, therefore, unnccesary. His remains will be ' interred with the benediction of Hose, at the foot of the poll, on the day of election The, gallant Colonel (late Warden), has announced his intention of running against all comers [may the Lord hate mercy on the Thames], except Sir George, under whose wing he desires to shelter the end of the conflict. Is he *V^ho.rou>fhly Grey?, (doubtful). It is boasted, however that his mighty influence ; v;with thJßJN'atiTe Minister will ensure his .return. This may also account for the !. recent creation of his land partner to the * hop^distinction;, of J;P.,and will; no doubt, inspire him with greater exertions in carrying out the instructions of the inquisition against the Grey party at the time of the election. On dit that a professioral gentleman holding a commission iria crack corps, threatened some time since to resign, if the colonel did not, but, as nothing farther has been heard of the matter, it has probably been patched up by a s compromise that the obstacle " Johnny " will yet be overcome, resulting in a call to the Upper House; The next magnate for political honors is a far seeing Broadeye, a comely chairman, representative of Whitakor, (nominally Grey). The " Thames Railway" is a swindle; the first station fhould hare been At Omaha oh the ex-Attorney-General's estate, so says the beggar man. Hark! What dp, we bear ? A political piper, droning, 'Thames electors! You all know how I bare fought you battles in the past; by getting myself appointed chairman; with a good salary, and a pittance of a guinea per day travelling expenses. If you will do me the honor of returning me (o the House, I will endeavor to look well after-number one,; continue to dig deeper into your pockets,; and will at all times vote with the 'majority.'"—[Signed], So Mote It Ba. ,!ptAffl??>3.;.:' •"■ ■ ■■■■ -V; ■■■■ .
