MR SHE AND SELWYN.

TO THE EDITOr. OF "THE TRESS." Sir. —'Allow mo to congratulate the above gentleman on his improved prospects as the outcome of his straightforward method of conducting his campaign. From reliable sources information is at hand that after hearing him sneak many electors who had a prcju dice against him, have openly announced their intention of supporting him. This must be gratifying to tho candidate, who lias spent long years in promoting the interests of his fellowolec'.ors. That tho farmers of Selwyn will give their support to Mr Hamlet, who is unknown aud untried, is inconceivable. The position is that Messrs Dickie and Haraiet will divide the liquor and antireforendum vote, and Mr Sheat will receive the official Reform, referendum and prohibition votes, which will give him a splendid opportunity of winning the seat. He is the happy medium between tho reticent Mr Dickie and the cyclonic Mr Hamlet, and whilst disclaiming any brilliancy on his part, he would make a good representative for a farming community. I sincerely trust that Mr Sheat will continue to act on the offensive, for present indications suggest that he will be the first to catch the eye of the judge.—Yours, etc., A FARMER'S SON.
