The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1879.

Mr C. Pharazyn replying to a doubt we expressed as to his aptitude for workiii" with othw men pointed out that iu the movements in the district in which he had taken part, lie had not only worked cordially with other gentlemen but had usually been selected to fill the chair. To our mind the latter part of the argument vindicates the truth of the former portion of it. Mr Pharazyn is wont to assert himself and take the lead, and it is only when he gets it that he is contented and his colleagues find him to be pleasant as well as useful. The quality of self assertion is a valuable one to any public man, as it quickly brings him to the top rung of any ladder he may have set his heart upon climbing, but it is not one that tends to make a man popular, and we are still somewhat of the opinion that Mr Pharazyn is not a favorite with a large number of the electors, and that to work well with him it is necessary to let him have his own way to a considerable extent. We believe that if Mr Pharazyn succeeds in getting into Parliament he will not be a popular member of the House but we also believe that his power of work, his capacity, and his self-assertion will soon make him a leading member of it, nor do we doubt if he were called upon to succeed Sir George Grey as Premier that he would in accepting office display the slightest deffidonce or distrust in his own powers. He would probably even congratulate the colony upon having at last put the right man in the right place. Though he might get possibly in a more exalted position, a little of the conceit taken out of him he would certainly administer the affairs of the colony more efficiently than the present Premier has done. With Mr Pharazyn it is aid Omsar, aul milks, and we accept the position. In our publio men we must have some whom we value more for their worth than their agreeability, and among this number Mr C. Pharazyn must be classed. Whatever be the result of the election Mr Pharazyn will at leastcome outofit with honor If elected he will be returned on public grounds which will enable him to take a free and inddeendent position in the House, and if he bo unsuccessful it will be recognised that he lost the battle because he would not' stoop to conquer.'
