rpHE GENERAL ELECTION WHOLESALE BRIBERY. In these dayS, when electioneering 'seems to engross the whole time and thought of the community, it is amusing to an onlooker to see the number of candidates in the field, and to watch the endeavours-of each to catch the vote of the ladies God •bless ’em—who have just received “heir political birthright. Everyone is cp llflde “'; he can spot the winners, or says fiti can ; and if one chose he could win enough new hats during the next few weeks to tie him decently for the rest of his life. The ladies, they are the key-note this time. Look to your laurels ye vintners and victuallers. No Sunday trading w 1 they tolerate ; no, nor the wholesale of ’kerosene or. painkiller in the whisky bottles to poor devils who have already had enough. Nomore shirts.for sweaters at.a Colonial Robert” per dozen for. the mak’ing Other publichouses will be closed beside those closed for-repairs, ...or any that don’t pay. The women, the women, toy ours les femme. They will be great regulators and adjusters of much that is now askew, but we can forgive ’em heartily if they will only let the Education Act alone, and go in hard and strong (sweet they always will be) for free and compulsory secular education. There’s a sweet little cherub sitting up aloft watching over the destinies of the Waterbury man, and sometimes, not often, she sends him an inspiration. To make Waterbury capital out of politics, to steal an advertisement in season and out oi season, is his business, and Brudder, the good work must go on. To present everybody who votes for A. B. and C. with a new Waterbury was his first impulse. This was brilliant, but as everybody on the rolls, whether they voted for the candi dates specified or their opponents, whether they voted at all, had any^existence. now■ or at any previous epoch, whether dead this two years or in gaol or at sea when the voting came off, would claim the reward, the experiment • would have been costly, verv. Again, hostile lawyers, retained by unsuccessful candidates, and judges who invariably say nasty things, would have relieved him of the profits of the speculation (if any), or perhaps send him to ruminate where ample time in the intervals of oakumpicking or stone - breaking is graciously afforded for reflection. No, that would nover do. New Zealand is a gambling country, my brother; as witness its totalisator, its art unions in aid of charitable undertakings, and what not. “ Eh, there s the rub Petruccio.” Let us. therefore, in Rome, do as Rome does, and gamble on the coming elections. The inspiration which came direct from the sweet little cherub aforesaid—not one of the newly enfranchised ones, mind von—is that the Waterbury Watch Company presents one of their new and handsome watches to the two ladies naming the three successful candidates for Dunedin City with the nearest number of votes recorded in favour of each. _ That is, to the girl or adult lady naming the three successful candidates, and whose guess a the number of votes recorded by each is nearest the actual total , polled, one of their new golden ladies Waterburys will be presented, and to the _ lady who names the three successful candidates, and whose estimate of votes recorded by each is second in its approximation to the actual result, one of their new silver watches. These watches may be selected by the winners from stock held by Messrs Sargood, Son and Ewen, N.Z. Hardware Co, Jno7 Edmond, or other recognised agent, of this city, and to them all letters must be mailed to arrive before noon of the day preceding the election, the envelope being marked on the outside ‘‘Waterbury competition.” The names and addresses of the successful guessers will be published in the O.D. Times on the day following the declaration of the poll, and the competition is open to all New Zealand.
