Ivess was advocatirg pure tom mu sm and actually published a pamphle' to demonstrate the fact That Mr Ivess en tirety failed to carry otr h's elecMon pledges on this important subject was so palpable, that when he addressed the •lectors in the Town Ball after his re turn from Wellington, one of his f-nner supporters boldly charged Mr Ivess with having betrayed those who voted for him cn this matter, and Mr Ivess had practi cally no answer to make, save that his accuser bad a personal grievance against him, which may or may not have been true, but was no reply to the charge. It Is not at all in point to say that Mr Iveta has changed his views. The ques * tlon is, Was Mr Ivess pledged to support A# bursting-up tax, and did he male any % attempt to carry out that programme 1 Mr Ivess, by the way, does not profess to say that be has changed his views on this topic; but he did, some twelve mouths uo. publicly *nd audaciously declare that he had never a buisiing-cp ftaXe If it be the case, as “Fair Play’ affirms, that “ no sane man * would de nounce the large landowners, it neces sarily follows that Mr Ivess must have been non compos mentis du ing his hrst election contest, because it is perfectly certain that Mr Ivess did denounce and in cnuiistaaeable terms, as rair Piey ’’ would have heard if be had been a resident in the district at the time. My firm conviction, however, is that Mr Ives# vsa in his usual state of mental vigour, but In advocaf.ni- a burs'ina up tax and denouncing the large landowners he whs - simply humbugging the more ignorant portion of the electors, and having thereby secured hie elec'ion .to the House, he quietly let fall the firebrands he had been blandishing, and purposely subsided into the moat inoffensive of members in the hope thereby of conciliating those whom he had bat a short time pre viously been holding up to public app* o brinm. .11 I do say. without hesitation, tnat, look ing at the manner in wb.ch Mr Iveea has posed as the p2or mail’s friend as the guardian angel of the laboring classes— the determined foe of land monopoly JB present alliance with sundry large wßdowners is of a highly suspicion.* character. ‘‘No man can serve two masters.

THE TWO CANDIDATES.

I To the Editor. i SlK,—ln reply to a letier inyour paper Mgoed “ Anti-Humug,” I have pleasure ft, saying that I bate humbug almoat as Such aa I dislike the mean and miserable way in which his letter was written. I suppose it is only a repitition of the old tactics, “ When you have no case, black guard the other side ” “Anti-Humbug ” had the bad taste to mention the names of one or two of Mr Iveta’s supporters What on earth have the electors of Wakanni to do with these gentlemen, they are no*, asking favors nor are they tiylng to get into Parliament. Mr Ives* is the candidate before us, he is now to be weighed in the balance, and if found wanting, reject him. . , I have nothing to say about Mr Wright, further than that he is a gentleman, and I believe he was in Parliament, also that be resigned hie seat, for what reason I cannot say. I am not in a position to apeak of the work he did while represent ing Ashburton, but I suppose it would shout equal the great things done by the late member for Wakanui: both gentle men resemble each other in many ways They have been ancoessfni colonists, and both bare worked well for their own inte rests. They have managed their own rffaira carefully ; but what have they done jtofftskanui. Their reasons for retiring JqB private life is best known to them aelvws, but sdiscriminating pubiiccould not appieciatework on theirbehalf which came §a nothing, and Ike spoiled and petted children they resigned out of pique. Now, Mr Editor, 1 would ask you fairly and squarely what have the East street gentlemen to do with the Wakanui election. How is it they have not got two members to represent them and other parts of the constituency left out in the cold! Surely they mast have axes to grind, or they would not be so anxious, not to put |Mr Wright into the House, but to keep Mr Ivess out of Parliament. I feel certain that men have not come to this country to be trampled on by a clique who lor their own ends are moving hea ven and earth to servo their own pur poses. Again, Sir, I say, what right has <• Anti Humbug ” to despise a man be ' he does not wear aa fine cloth as he evidently does. He seems to forgot that the farmer, the tradesman, and the working man's vote is as good as his, and I feel certain that Monday next will show him it is a little better. I would respectfully remind Anti- of the action Mr Ivess took in connection with the Mount Somers rail way-how be did his best for the people of Ashburton—bow he worked for the people of Wakanui—and how warmly he was thanked by the Oonnty and Borough Connells for his disinterested action. Now, Sir, fairplay it bonny play and justice to whom justice is due. I chal lenge any elector to show me one single pledge that Mr Ivess made on the plat form broken, and I call on the electors of Wakanni not to be intimid tied, but to go to the poll and ahow their appreciation of his conduct in the past, so as to give him of serving them in the jßsir, I will conclude with saying that wfr Ivess is the working man’s friend—he is the farmer’s friend —ave, and if they only knew it, he is the business man s fEend as well, because ha is straight tor snrd and honorable, and does not des cend to mean tactics, consequently be is a mat all over, and for that reason alone pnFmmin Parliament. I I am, etc, 7 C. A. Hsbdv, July 2nd. 1885,

Tc the Editor. 1 Sis,—Will you be so kind as to insert thfi in your valuable columns. _ We have J two candidates to choose from in this elec- I tipn—Mr Ivess and Mr Wright, The j speeches of’these gentlemen I have read Mr Ivtps, pals himself np for a libe-1 ra) and bis liberal ideas I cannot help I parsing remarks upon He holds with taxing through the Customs the neces I varies of life to the working men ; and to double the Properly Tax upon the indue- ] txious farmer. The more money that comes out of the farmer’s pocket the less he has with which to employ the laborer. Now take the land the Government has sold 16,000,000 are made use of and the is held in idleness. Those who ere bolding this large quantity are only paying, at the present time L 23.000 as ? Property Tax, and when the increased . taxation Ik put cn will only pay L46,l 00, ,e 1 A.E* a L A V?a

■* while we through the Customs will have So pay L 1,600,000. Why should these non not pay their share of taxation as well as wo do? It U they who are atop nfos • the country from advancing, the people from prospering, and keeping ' of 00 working men oot of em dormant. We ere (willing to work, and ■’< uns no work to do. Why should they got nay one half of the taxes I They have oat ludf of the land. Now, Mr Ivesa be feV Jdeves In taxing the Cn»toms —the neces- K'- voarlaaof life of the people—and the indua • i tanner, but the men who monopo i; ■ ]ks thslsnd are to go free. Mr Ivesa is .

Works to pui your Railways into a condition second to none in the world, which would save the coun try some L 700.000 in rolling stock, and put at the very least L 40,000 into the pockets of the Wakanni and Ashburton farmers. Mr Walker, M H.B.,and seve ral others did their best to get the plans brought before the House, but the Minis ter of Public Works would not do ss. Hs has passed them to the Railway Manager for his consideration. Now, Mr Editor, Mr Wright is a practical man, and at the present time Chairman of the Lyttelton Harbor Board. He can bring these plans before the Bouse, and has the knowledge to carry them out and put the Railways into working order second to none. If Mr Ivess be returned, what can he do in the matter. He can only do the same as many others in Wellington are doing at the present time—take a seat in the House and say nothing about tho subject. Mr Ivess has not the ability or the brain power to take an ctive part in the affairs of the country. W« want men with brains in the Boose, and not more wind bags. I have the credit of being the smartest poli tician in the country, so let the working men of Wakanni bo guided by me. Vote for Mr Wright, the practical man, who has made your Railways and given work to many thousands of you. Tours, etc , Samuel Chables Jolly

THAT SAXON WORD.

To the Editor. Sir, —Your reader does not appear to have taken kindly to my M S ; et all events he does not seem to have taken much trouble to compare it with the proof, otherwise the several mistakes apparent in my letter of yesterday would not have appeared There is one mistake of some consequence which I must ask your per mission to be allowed to correct. “ Auti- Humbug ” stated broadly that the capital for the runtime <if Socie % had bee-i ob tained from “God’s own chosen people.”

Jn contradicting this assertion you will see by my writing that I stated the capital for Society had not been obtained from God’s own “ chosen people, nor from the devil’s own chosen people either.” By omitting the reference to God’s own chosen people, lam inferen tially made to characterise a considerable section of our fellow colonists as the devil’s own chosen people, which was very far indeed from my thought and purpose. As I am happy to say 1 have many friends among “ God’s own chosen people,” I am anxious to be understood that I never contemplated the publication of an unkind word in the least degree calculated to wound their susceptibilities 1 am, etc. James Izbtt [We regret the omission from Mr izett’a former letter.

The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited . This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and prove by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8,, and in v very way trying to induce suSering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit ana goad name of H.

Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “Hops ’’ were used in a way to induce people to believe hey were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those With the word “ Hop ” or “ Hops ” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits.
