THANKS.
TO THB IDITOB.
Sib, — Allow me through your paper to thank the Householders who so well supported me at the. School Committee Election. The Board have decided I was not qualified- under the meaning of the Act either to vote or to receive votes, and so through my mistake, six>or seven electors have m effect been disfranchised by having the votes they gave to me entirely thrown away. As you remarked m your leader of Wednesday, those forty-six votes would j have materially altered the relative position of the other candidates. Manifestly then, I the only way justice can be done to the j electors is to have a fresh election, and I can assure you there is a wide-spread feeling to this effect. If there be another election 1 shall be eligible, but for this year will not offer myself to the suffrages of the Householders. Had my election been sustained, I would have used my position to carry out to the best of my ability, the provisions of the present Education Act. — Yours, Ac., A. M. Wbi&HT. Palmerston North, 28th Jan., 1881.
