THE GENERAL ELECTIONS.
Thames. —We understand that those gentle- I men who have come up from the Thames to endeavour te get Sir George Grey to stand for that constituency have not lost hope of attaining their object. The nomination for the Thames takes place on Wednesday, and it ia supposed by some that Sir George Grey may come .up from the Kawau to-day aad go down to the Thames on Tuesday. Our belief is, that Sir George Grey, in his telegram to the Thames, plainly enough indicated bis mind that he would not contest an election, and that if the people of the Thames wanted him, they must put him in. If Sir George went down to the nomination, we have no doubt of his election, but if ho does not do so, and leaves the whole matter as it stands, he may be defeated, if put in nomination without his consent. This ought not to be allowed to happen. We observe that there is a new candidate in the field, in the i person of Mr. C. A. Cornea, a miner,, who has issued an address. There are now in the field Mr. W. Howe, Dr. Kilgour, J. E. j Macdonald, Mr. n,»nd Mr. I; Cornee.
