The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, APRIL 14 1887. TE ARO ELECTION.

Messrs Travers, Fraser, and Nancarrow are the'.'three candidates who are now wooing the suffrages of the Te Are electors. Mr Traversi .is- aman of- ability aiicl experience, a man of colonial reputation, 'to our. Wellington correspondent, he will go in, as'liis general qualifica-' tions would appear to make his return; a certainty. ■'■. Mr Fraser, too, strong.candidate.-. He nearly got in on a forinor occasion, and possesses a host of ■friends.' Mr Nahcarrow's chances', on the other hand, are very lightly regarded, and yet we believe that the latter candidate, though ho be the butt of the-press and the public, will poll tho most votes. People don't like glib too-clever •by-half, lawyers .outof court, they are not fond: of temperance agitators, and in very! many inst'auces4hey will give a preference -to a well; meaning nonentity' like'Mr Nancanw, who is running'on his own hook, and who is not the slave of faction or of party. Mr Nancarrow's return would be a heavy blow to Mr ■Travers and to' tho Government,. : which is supposed to be at his back. Mr Travers would'deservo tho rebuff because while ho avows opinions which are diametrically opposed to the land acquisition news of the Ministry, he yet pledges himself to give a general support to the party in power. This is Mr Travers' weak point—he is not thorough—were he true to himself, he would not pledge his;vote to the party in power. It is somewhat difficult to judge what 'his object is in, again seeking a political position. He is very candid in telling the electors, the reasons which do not 'influence him, hut very reticenMn stating those which do. However, it is not always the'cock which crows the loudest that, wins, and though Mr •Drtiversjis perfect as a crower, we should'not he'surprised to find him'worsted by an opponent who is inferior to him as a thinker, as an orator, and as a quiet way, Mr Nancarrfiw is getting a hold on the working men of Te Aro, and there is a very fair prospect of his standing at the head of the poll. -The election is not being fought, as far as we caiitell, on : any question-of prin-. ciple. - It is merely a case of personal liking, in which the'-* simple and ingenuous Nancarrow bids fair to'have the advantage, .' : ;

Tenders are invited by.Messra Williams and Barker for gasfitting work. - ■ Tenders are inv'jtcd for..the splitting, laying, and erecting of about ;iifty chains of wire fencing afc'?East Taratahi. . ..'

'' Mr Travel's, in speaking/on Sir George Grey's Law Practitioners Bill, at Wellington, on Tuesday evening, said he did not consider the position of the man who entered the profession ; he felt more for the unfortunate clients whom he advised; Nine-tenths of the suits and docisions which now encumbered the law courts were the result of the advice, of uneducated and inexperienced lawyers.
