The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1883. THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The impending elections for the two Wairarapa Counties are important from two points of view, In the first place, the amalgamation project is practically doomed, and the Councils to be elected will therefore be permanent in their character. In the second, the task of initiating, organising, aud arranging the affairs of two new areas will be committed to them, Under these circumstances we trust an effort will be made to return the best public men of the distriot. Already we hear that attempts are being made to oust one or two former Councillors who, in the past, have proved themselves to be worthy of the confidence of tho public, We trust that the various candidates who cqme forward will be judged from a broad point of view, that they will not be discarded because, on some small petty matter they' have not pleased the particular ratepayers, but that their conduct, as a whole, will be fairly guaged, and' full credit given to them for .their past efforts to advance the district,; It must at such a time ta remembered that the general interests of the district are of greater importance than any special requirement of a section of it,'and that the man who works best for the Wairarapa in. the; long run proves to bo the best riding representative, . The Northern County Council will find a large amount of work waiting to, be despatched and for some years to come it must necessarily be a busy and a progressive local body. The Southern County will have to a certain extent to make work. It has plenty of country to open «P if it has the pluck and enterprise to increase the borders of its settlements, A progressive Council can do a : good deal towards extending roads through silent wastes of valuable land south " of the Waingawa. It may of coiirso be satisfied bridges,, and to leaving .to its Road Boards'all colonismg work, We trust, however, that it will turn the Ponds >nd Bridges Construction Act to a better use than' this, by : endeavoring to vie with : the Northern County in opening up all Waste Lands fit for settlement, With ■■ strong Councils both; counties have a grand future before them, and when the work of settlement has been fairly accomplished, they, may possibly unite iii forming that one great County ; which we Bavo alway» ; desired to <*ee estab-. lished mthe-WaiMrapa district,.'-"!
