The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1890.

Electioneering is often blatant, loisy, and blustering, but voting is a nlent power. Many people are aisled by the declamation of asseriivo candidates, by the chetrs and boasts of their followers, but the silent, voiceless ballet disillusionises ,hem, To-morrow the latter will record tho doliberato choice of the people. Each man in the community io a large extent forms his own judgment and acts upon it. He hears all sides of the political queS' lions which have been brought under bis notice, he catches a good general idea of the merits of the respective canditates, and in most instances th< verdict given is a rightone—occas sionglly a superior man may bi rejected auii m inferior man pre ferred, but s mistake ,qf jijjig jjjud ii rarely made, There js &goof d«a •j[ common sonso and coltinjfli honesty diffused tlirougliout til community, and a good candidal can safely trust to it. We Lave n apprehension but that the silent vot sylj} return Mr Beetham. and M Buebaiwi) borrow, but we confes n shall not l)MaMed with thei being merely, returned,, l'ijcy Jjjyi m our opinion a light to elaim jarg majorities in their respective districts Had good men been brought ou agate;} f,bem tliey would liave doubl to win by & bar !»P#y> W »im inferior an spoipjts t!j ield it .!■" iliould road them J" 6 "® slwffinj -hem that none but men 01 iav& a reasonable prospect ofsuccei", n our large country electorates, W< mve not the slightest objection to t iberal party putting a good man ii he field as its champion, hut whei t asks the electors to return ai nferior man it pays them a very poo: ompliment, and .the responsi iught to be tolerably emphatic 'he vote to-morrow is the trui aeasuro of the intelligence am noval worth of the community, am >D this ground we claim that i hould not be a doubtful one. TL ilectors have to choose between! man yho praises himself and a mai who is content for others to pro-is him; between a man who speak boldly without knowledge, and a mai who Bpoakn diffidently but will knowledge; between a m who set

o' -against olaas, and a man who i'says I will work for the good of all" ; between the man of words and the man of deeds; and we.say to the electors, beware, of deraagoguery and do not make stepping stonesfor those that practice, it to' vault into place, It is your part to elevate and purify public life, for from such elevation and purification can you alone expeot to reap an advantage. Put on one side the feoliug of envy which has been' so deliberately stirred up in your breast, it is neither a Christian nor evon a manly sentiment, try to level, np, not level down, and remember it is for . the good of all that there be some in tlie community with higher purposes and aims than your own, to setyou anexample,andto emulate you to progress and advance, Take your keynote from the man you respect, not from the man whom you may perhaps like, - but whom' in your inmost heart you despise. The righting of every wrong will be brought about by the purification and elevation of public life, The party fighting in the present election is now virtually at an end, and our last word shall not be to call upon the electors belonging to the party with which we are associated to do their duty by the Colony and by the district, but to call upon every elector,' irrespective of party, to give his vote according to his con stiienoa without fear or favor, and to prove himself worthy of the great trust which the Coleny is placing in his hands.- The elector holds at this time the fate of the Colony in his voting paper. Ho has a duty to discharge to his country, to his neighbours, to his wife, and to hia children, and the obligation laid upon him is to make such a ohoice as will satisfy his own inner conscience. If, on an occasion like this, he be trua to himself, he will not be false to either wife, child, friend, or country. The man who gives an honest vote, whether it be on our side or against us, is the man whom wo shall respect and honor.

Tho Waikaripa Daily will not le published to-morrow, Mr Parnell has issued a messago to tho people of Ireland, stilting that ho will tight to the end, A vory_ heavy downpour of rain occurred in Msstecton last night, the effect of which upon the crops in the neighbourhood will be very beneficial The Wellington Eiming Piw is offering a prize of £5 to tho person who can placo the candidates of that city in rotation and give the number of votes polled by each before the day of polling. Mr Justice Hood has refused to sanction the marriago of Miss Geoi'gina Watson, of Victoria, with a Mr Nitz,' on the erouuds of insanity in the family of the lattor, Thereception of Mr Hogg on the Coast is dearly shown in a couple of reports from correspondents which appear in this issue. A deputation of the Masterton and Upper Plain School Committees is to wait upon the Town Linda Trustcos to-morrow evomnjjand protest ai/ainst tho action of that body in reducing the grants in aid of schools.

Patrick Daly, clmrged with the larceny of a horse, saddle, and bridle, the property ot W,J,Richmond, was on Tuesday found "not guilty" by tho jury of tbe Supreme Court. Before diaofiarging tho priionor, his Honor characterised the verdicts a most extraordinary one and contrary to law and common I tense, aud if such a principle was tu be carried out socioty would be in dangor, An oditor foil on a slippery pavement' the other day, Ho did npt use unparliamentary language as some would have dono, but bithia lip, rubbed down the bruises, and, with a benevolent amile radiating his countenanco, remarked, •'We don't cherish auy ill will; but for light and entertaining roading matter recommend us to the obituary notice o! the man who ought to sweep this pavement,"

Messrs Chamborlwn Bros, floutmilJars of this town, liaye just imported direct from America a new patent brush smuttor. Tho machine, which is one of Howe's "Eureka "patents, is perhaps tho most perfect of its kind' in tlie district, and having all the latoafc improvements, is calculated to do its work with thoroughness and despatch, It is ereoted on tho first floor of the building, and is cylindrical tu shape, being fitted with powerful fans revolving at tho rate of about 370 revolutions per ruinuto. An . enormous blast is thus created, by which all tho loose husk and dust is driven through a shoot into a room built for tho purpose of receiving it. While out representative was present this room was opone.l after a fortnight's work, and it was found that not a particle of com had been driven in with the rofuso. This is very satisfao. Tory, and shows tho machino to bo working perfectly. The actual toning process is porfonnod by four strongly made brushes, oach about two feet six inches in length, and nine inches broad, so arranged that not a single rain can escape without undergoing a brushing, which leaves tho wheat perfectly bright and clean. Chamberlain Bros' flour is already famous for quality, and tho enterprising proprietors seemdeterminod to do everything in their power to keep up the reputation they have'justly earned.

Word has'reached us that Mr Henry Bunny's nicotine, advertised to be held at Pirinoa on Monday evoning, fell to pieces, and that the few electors who attended out of curiosity or mterest expressed with considerable frankness and.force their opinions of men' who did not keep appointments (for Mr Bunny was not thero and had apparently sent no apology), and then retraced their steps homeward in disgust.
