THE ELECTIONS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) The time for the elector! to be up and doing Hap arrived./ The action ot'tibM Advertiser, if successful, iri? supporting the election of Sir, George Grey will be the means of placing the Thames people in a false position. To tell us ire>; wip gain by returning him in. .the place of one of our local men, and letting City West i put one in against us, is absurd. We have a good man in Sir George. Grey for ! City West; let us secure two men for the Thaiaes, and let them be local men. Last session should prove that the Thames i» safe in Sir George's hands. By this morning's paper' the qualification of a local ■ man must be an angel's with wings all" complete. I will ask the Thames Advertiser if Auckland has in y her representatives such men as they ask. us to get; with aH Sir George Grey's superior talents, I doubt if he would pass muster. What the Thames people want is no provincial go-between, or ' Auckland's patronage; they want to go direct to the General Government themslves for their wants. What has brought Auckland to its present miserable! condition ? Only her provincial ment of her affairs. I woml^^uggest that the Mayor call a meeting to discuss the matter now before it gets too late.—lam, <fee-, i''"!s"": --^T^r]---r^. -~. :':'.. $ ,i... ,_,..:.:p8588V15E. , ' Grahamstoirni TiursSay.
