though both will poll well. Dospito the strong uniotii.-it support that Mr Earnshiiw will receive, I think his extreme Socialistic views will more than counterbalance. Mr Larnnnh's pronounced opposition jigainst the education sy.»tem, and that thfi-e will bo no rhang'). The. represent!!I lion of tho suburbs will provide an interesti h\g fight. Mr Ross is now pretty safe. Mr \\ ii:.iiis in, chairman of the Kaikorai ttebool Committee, corao-i forward as a labor candidate, and will have a fairly largo following among those who disapproved of Mr Dawson's platform and proclivities, evidently regarding , him as a dumb vote controlled by Mr Fish. With Messrs Snow and Burns dividing Ministerial support, I expect Mr Oairncross to have an easy win for Taieri, with Mr Barrou a respectable second. Mr Thomson will win the Bruce, .■■•eat. but tho result might be different if Mr James -Smiih, lawyer, were more liberal with his views and his inonoj-. Mr Thomas MuKonzio iukl Mr Fitstuh will have a walk-over Mount Ida will f uruii'h v stubbon fight, but I fancy the younger man, by reason of tho ease with which ho travels over the district, and his record on behalf of tho agriculturalists, will prove and Mr John M'Kenzio will have no diffinioro than a match for th" veteren Vincent Pyke. Tunpeka will iro to Mr Valentine, cultv in winning , at Waituli. Tho Minister for Education will have a tough fight at Oamaru. but, to use a sporting- phrase, I j fixpeot, to see him win on the post. The fight of tho Otago district will be for Port Chalmers, where tho organised forces of capital rtnd labor will meet in battle a ,- ray. Mr Mills has not improved his chunces. by hurrying slowly from Melbourne, and many cockatoos resent his indifference, but though they nre sullen just now, I expect tlium to rally round the late member when they find his seat eudansrered, as I think it is, by the arch-apostloof " new unionism." Mr Millar will poll the heaviest in Ravensbourne, mill should poll a block vote of nearly one, hundred from those holding seamen's rights.
