WHAT MR PHARAZYN SAYS IN THE TOWN, AND WHAT HE SAYS IN THE COUNTRY. "Mil PHARAZYN'S speech nt Mastcrton must be yet fresli in the memory of the blectors. "" Now read what he said at Gladstone to a different class of electors, viz., about twenty landowners who attended bis meetingMr Pharazyn said he was entirely opposed to the direct taxation of wealth, either by a Property, Land, or Income Tax, and (mark this) would strongly recommend the re-impo-sition of the duty on Tea and Sugar. Ho further said there was not one in the House capable of going into figures and grasping the position of financial affairs, but that ho himself was particularly adapted for it,—No donbt he is, as far as the" grasping" Electors/—Observe that the disguise is thrown off when Mr P. is among his own friends. Don't be led by the nose by these protended working man's friends. Mr Pharazyn says he actually benefits by the Land Tax to the extent of £7; but if that Tax were off he would benefit £47, and he is in mortal fear lest the tax should be collected. Mr Pharazyn's mode of conducting elections has been exposed above, but what do you think of the following —On the 28th of August the Wairarapa Daily was published in Masterton with a leading article. The same paper, minus the leader with an address' in Scandinavian and Eugiish signed "C. Pharazyn," in place of the leader, making assertions that Mr Bunny supported Sir George Grey, and that the latter wanted to turn out the Chinese and the Scandinavians ! It also stated that Mr Pharazyn as Chairman of the Cmmty Council had obtained money to expend in Mauriceville and would expend more! Electors!— This is he who would not descend to a mean action! ELEOTOES. The reason why Mr Pharazyn is sc wroth at the reduction of the duty on sugar is because he does not use su»iir and therefore the reduction is of no benefit to Mr Pharazyn, so he would re-impose tho duties for the especial benefit of the working man. Observe Mr Pharazyn's delicate allusion to storekeepers. He says they are tho only people who benefit by the reduction of those duties. The only excuse is that Mr Pharazyn never patronises storekeepers. Notice, too, the endeavor to influence Greytown votes by authorising the munificent sum of £l5O to be expended on the Waiohine River. This great feat has been duly published in all the papers where it is likely to benefit his candidature. So much for purity. In Masterton the dodge is ' Local Option.' Mr Pharazyn is well-known in his cwn district, aud it is pretty generally admitted that he is in favor of Local Option,—He would give every poor man th option of remaining poor, or (tying. Has Mr Pharazyn, in his position on the Licensing Bench, over shown a disposition to favor the cause of Good Templarism ? Why does the main body of tho order take in what a few of its interested members are using every endeavor to set forth—"That Mr Pharazyn is in favor of the Local Option Bill. 1 ' He never stated such a thing himself without reservation, Good Templars don't beguiled! Mr Beetham plainly stated his ignoraEce of the details of the measure, and had Mr Pharazyn stated the same he would have been believed.
various townships to the lust, for the purpose of fortifying himself on all weak points exMoited by his opponents, There is a large body of Liberals in the Valley who wouid be practically unrepresented if Mr Bunny is not returned, Electors!— Look to it that you do not sacrifice your principles tothe love of change! Stick to she Old and Tried- Candidates and vote for both BUMY and BEETHAM. Scene: Club Hotel. Hill's in the distance. Street wet. Verandah Dryer. Time: 3p.m. Enter 0. P., looking glum. He Groaves, and thus soliloquises : \jAN it be true that all this rabble crowd H ave hither come to vote for Bunny ; Ami forgotten 1 I could cry aloud, E ending my garments, for my money L ost to me over this Vile election Even my friends, grieved at this defection S lied bitter and sob in deep dejection. • P lease pat my back; but no, too many Pats H ave operated on me, I must have some aid, A nd even have soms Mooro to tan these flats; Reasoning and blarneying that he may persuade And turn them from their Bunny. I'll prepare, Zounds, I'll show fight; I will hire a horse, Yea, I will give my kinedom for a— Mayor, N or .leave the rabble till they've changed their course.
