RETIREMENTOFMR McMINN.
In another column will be found an ad vertisement announcing the retirement of Mr McMinn from the contest for the Waipa seat. We think that under the present circumstances his action i8 perhaps the wisest. We have always had a high opinion of MrMinn, and admired the temper, the htraightforwardnebs and courtesy with which he has on previous oc 'asions contested his constituency. But on the present occasion he does not seem to have canght the popular ear. Reasons which in our opinion, should not be permitted to militate against him would accra to have induced this state of affairs. We feel confident, however, that large numbers of the electors hold Mr McMinn in well-deserved esteem and that the day is not far distant when the settlers of the district will testify by their suffrag that it was but a contemporary wave of popular feeling which caused the retirement of Edward Graham McMinn at general election of 1881.
