MASTERTON ELECTION. [Opiuiona of the Press.J ... Mr Hodo is not a desirable type of representative, or likely to prove of much real use if he should get into Parliament,— Evening Post, August 31, Mr Hawkins has no chance of succea?, and Mb retirement in favor of Mr Beetham, would be the moßt practical proof he could give of the Bittcorityofttto political faith bo possossos.— Evening Post, August 31. ;

■'•lscommenting nomeweoks ago on cortaiu passages in Mr Hawkins' speech, to the Wairarapa olectas, wo observed with 'great-regret that a gentleman who evidently possesses uncommon political qualifications, appeared, nevertheless, to bo unfitted for public life by a want of aclf-oontrol, and a most unfortunate tendenby to deal in personalities, Wo were equally astonished to road in tho Wairabapa' Dailt a few days ago, a letter from Mr Hawkins which riot only outrages all tho proprieties of political warfare, .but so far exceeds all rational bounds as to revive and confirm our opinion that Mr Hawkins is wholly unfitted'by temperament for publio lifo, Wo never road a more violent 'or unbecomkw; letter,—Evening Press, Sapto'mber 3. ~ •
