ELECTORAL ITEMS.

It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that the electoral fight is about to commence in this district, so far as platform addresses are concerned, for Mr. Finnerty inviteß the electors to meet him at the Town Hall on Friday evening. We have no doubt that there will be a large attendance, and that Mr. Ficnerty and all other candidates will be received cordially and listened to patiently and respectfully. It is now expected the Representative Comruiasioners will complete their duties within the 30 days allotted them. The first mapping out of the various electorates has been finished, and is now under revision. Mr. W. Bayly has defindely decided not to contest the New Plymouth seat. Sir G. Grey returns to Auckland shortly, to commence a stumping tour of tbe country by an address to the electors of Auckland East. The arrangement of electorates in Hawke's Bay and Wellington will make a new bush district by taken seven or eight hundred votes in the present Waipawa district at the Woodville end, and tacking on to them four hundred or so from the present Wairarapa North district. A requisition with 405 signatures has been presented to Mr. James Allen, asking him to contest the Duuedin East seat with the Premier. Mr. Allen has complied, and announces that be is in favor of economy in every department, reduction in the number of members and honorarium, and cessation of borrowing. Mr. Allen is very popular, and about the most likely man in Dunedin to give Sir Robert Stout a run. On dit that Mr. DeLatour, the former member for Mount Ida, will oppose Mr. Scobie Mackenzie lor that district. Sir Julius Vogel is out for Christchurch.
