Wanganui

(From our own correspondent.) June 23.

A well known Catholic young man has determined to contest the Wainganui seat against all Comers at the next general election. I refer to Mr. James T. Hogan, who v well known in volunteer and rowing circles in this town. As a proof of Mr. Hogan's sterling worth, it is burt necessary to say that he never allies himself with any sport or pastime without soon taking a place a,mong the leaders. He joined the oldest volunteer corps in Wain^anui— 'the Wang,anui Riffles— as a private about eight years ago ; ne was senior lieutenant when he retired about a month ago, carrying with him the estaem ami confidence not only of his fellow-officers, but of the men who served under him. Mr. Hogan has great natural ability, is a fluent speaker, a born debater, and a popular elocutionist..
