THE TIMARU ELECTION.
TO THB EDITOR OB THB TIMABU HKB4LD. Sib, — In the coming flections wn have two candidates seeking ihj suffrages of the electors. I have heard both. With Mr Turnbull's address I was completely disappointed. What information did Mr Turnbull givo to tho electors of this important district P Tho information was nil. With Mr Kerr's address last night I was pleased, simply beosuso lie did not pander to any particular " fad," and answered m a true liberal spirit all questions asked him, even by those tooth and nail opposed to him. There is such a thing a? retaining a servant too long ; and if I can read aright, at the present crisis, we wunt a change. Will Mr Turnbull expliin to tho electors of Timaru where this for< shore, within 20 yards, is? Is it yards or feet off tbe centre of the railway lino P Mr Turnbull (akes credit, I think, for that which he is not entitled to. Sir, we are come to a pretty state of things when our representative haß to go to Wellington — according to his own statement — to help to pay his oreditors. Surely this is not as it should be. I may also atk, was it not at Mr Turnbull's suggestion that the wages of the men employed by the Harbor Board were reduced 10 per cant. I am, &c, Elbctob.
