HAMILTON WEST ELECTION.

'Sib,— l desire to add my tribute of credit to be accorded to your influential) journal for ite effort* iin advocating the rights of the Waikato to its • representation by two member*, which efforts, :>»bly supported by our respected member, Major •Jackioo, and backed' by petitions of the settlers, hare been successful in securing this additional {representation. To show their appreciation of »this boon, the electors hate now a dear duty betfore them, that of returning the best men ob* > tamable -a* their representatives Waikato East' ; is. already to the iront, and by the requisition 'to F. Whifcaker, Ehc^, has secured a gentleman »who, ; if elected, (and of that, I opine, there is .little doubt) will do justice- to the constituency. , Waikato West should no longer be behind-hand, ■ butat once on tie alert to-select a worth? coad- 1 ijutor for the due representation of Waikato ""interests.. l believe.l am cerrect in asserting that 'Major' Jackson will not seek or accept re-election. .An announcement has appeared in^your columns' ♦that B. G. MoMinn, E^q, M.P.O, is a candidate »fof the seat. This gentleman was only elected i after the last session of the Provincial Council, .•and has had no opportunity of giving proof of his ••abi itifs To the electors, he«i^9 yefran untried ( man,tand, passing over the mention of the name ♦of ilr S Bright, that of A Cox, Bsfl, J.P, is also > passing current. Tiii* latter gentleman has had' ij>revK)U3 experience in the Assembly : he has been 'tried and not found wanting. Having a large . stake in this district, and having cast in his lot with us ihis interests will I c identical with our 'Own, and my opinion is that Waikato Wt-st »w mid do cred*t»toi itself in returning thakgentle- • man, could he be ltniueed to come forward. view* be concided with by other « elecporivl suggest liiat a requisition be at once tslam-i, rt&uesting A-^ox, Ksq, J.P, to allow JKnwelf to i>e no nin ited.
