MR THOMAS THOMPSON
was in the last Parliament and is well-known to most of the city electors. Neither statesman, orator, nor blatherskyte, he is a politician and nothing more. He would no more dream of initiating legislation than he would of navigating a broomstick to the moon. A. practical man is Thomas T., who generally votes straight and looks well after the little matters to which his constituents request attention. The worst that can be said of him is that he votes with the Atkinson crowd, and that his name ' has b<*en mentioned ' as that of a politician whose services entitle him to be made a member of the Upper House. Ihe electors of the city will probably help him to attain the summit of his ambition by sending him once more to Wellington.
