THE WAIPA ELECTION.

Sib,— ln your 'columns lately appeared a letter headed "Hamilton West flection," under the anonymous signature of Elector ; attention was called to the letter as being from aMr Gray. I don't know who Mr Gray is, but X would like te»~ask if Hamilton is Waipa. I would respectfully suggest to the elector* of Wtipa to be careful in promising their support 'until they know who will be most likely to attend to their interests . belt, as well as that of thetjolony 'as a whole, especially would I appeal to those electors interested' in the long promised Waipa and Bagian road. Mr McMina, although I suppose as a mark of reproach, is styled a cockatoo settler (whatever that may mean), a&ad'foy your contemporary — the " New Zealand Herald"— is entirely ignored, although I believe at present he is the only one in the field. Mr McMinn, although as you say untried, is, I believe, a gentlemen of unrivalled reputation, -and likely to do his duty honestly to his constituents and his country. The " New /Zealand H«rald " says— for the Waikato " we will have " Messrs Whitakef and Cox,— the latter as yet oofc being in the field tbat lam aware of. Mr Cox I have not the pleasure of knowing, hut by all means let us have a gentleman as our' representa.tive "who will represent * every part of the district, one tbat trill go in as a true patriot, not for self or party purposes! and (hat when provincialism is-a thing of the past, He will assist-Sir «George Grey and* others in every possible way to reform and economise the government of the country. When provincialism reigned supreme, -and every-; thing had to go* to bolsterup Auckland ci£y,' Messrs Whitaker and Co. had 'the credit of putting the drag* on the >Waipe and Raglan road, but u tem pores mutantu," i(sic) those who were- then our greatest enemies may now prove'our best friends* as -the railway <vill now take to Auckland what otherwise xn%y have found another market from the Port of Bagian.— l am.&c, T. B. Him,. [We have already stated that the sign ature " Elector" wag by a mistake -referred to as being the " non de plume " of Mr Gray.] Aotea, November 10, 1875.
