Train for Voters.

If wemistakenot (says thePr*) tfa, ment last election allowed (>o*l trains to ha engaged in come refused to aUow them w others. A considerable num. • *“ who wished to wsit the Wairarspa to rote there, were, if we remember aright, refused e special train, while we believe specials were freely given m some other pens of the colony where the* were desired. Whether the way the eitetore wishing for the special were likely to vote bed any influence or whether they ware allowed conveyance or not, we oannot, of oourae, aay, . * n f* unnatural suspicion certainly existed that political considerations had wine weight in deciding the matter. The Government now should remove the possible lity of any suspicion of like kind etteebing to iheir action, by establishing a fixed rale oa the subject, end letting it be known at onoe whether special trains will be granted when desired, and at what eost. We cannot see Why, if the electors are willing to pay the department e sum which will cover the coat of a special, such a convenience should be refused ou an election day.
