Nelson Elections.— A little excitement in connection with the approaching elections is beginning to be observable, and I hear that the Waimea district and suburbs are being actively canvassed by Mr Ralph Richardson, who is very sanguine of beating his opponent, Mr F. Felling; but, as some time must elapse before the race is run, I shall refrain from speculating just now upon the chances of success possessed by either of the candidates. From Golden Bay we hear that Mr Gibbs is not disposed to allow Mr Collins to walk over the course, but I give the electors credit for knowing when they are well off, and I don’t think they will throw over their old member for one who > although he may possibly meet their views so far as the Provincial Council is concerned, is hardly the man to. represent that important district in the Parliament of the Colony.— Mail.
