Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1893. IMPORTANT TO ELECTORS.

As it is likely that some of the! elector* may experience embarrass merit ia g<'ing throuah the formali ties connected with recording their votw, it may be desirable th'it we brit fly indicate the course to be pursued next Tufsday. 1. An elector, on enter ing the polling booth, walks to the table where the Returning Officer and his clerks are seated, and calls out hia or her name, adding (\f known) tho number on j tho electoral 1011. 2. The Returning Officer then hands the elector a ballot paper on which hre printed the names (Christian and surnames) of the candi dates in alphabetical order. 3. The elector then walks into one of the separate compartments, and there finds a pencil provided. 4. With this pencil the elector strikes out the names of all those for whom he, or Bhe, does not intend to vote, leaving absolutely untwehed the name or the candidate for whom he or she desires to vote. But no more than one name must be left uncancelled on the ballot paper, otherwise it will be invalid. 6. Having so struck out the names of the persons for whom he or she does not desire to vote, the elector folds up the ballot paper and deposits it in a box which wil' be found near the Returning Officer.

Mr John McLachlan took part to-day at noon in what he jocularly call* only a little " war dance " before the fight. He addressed the electors the in Arcade, giving one of his racy breezy speeches, at the close of Which three cheers wert given for him. Though the financial condition of Mel bourne' is about as bad as it well could be,' the people will go to see their Cup. This year the attendance at Flemington on the! day of the great race was estimated at 87,000. In order to supply our readers and the public with the earliest information as to the results of the elections throughout the colony " extras" will be issued from the " Guardian " office from time to time after the close of the polls up to 11 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, a special addition of the " Guardian " will be sent round the town at seven o'clok, containing the latest news ef the elections received at this office up to that date. Mr Pumell addressed a well attended meeting of the Ashburton electors at the Seafield schoolroom on Thursday evening, the 23rd instant. Mr M Bruce occupied the chair. The candidate was cordially re ceived, and at the close of his address was accorded a hearty vote of thanks, upon the motion of Mr Hurley, seconded by Mr Lunt. Mr Purnell speaks again at Elgin to-night, and at the Oidfellowß* Hall on Monday evening. This afternoon Mr R. M. Cuthbertson addressed a large audience in the Arcade. He expressed hi 3 views on the political questions of the day, and receive! a fair hearing- At the conclusion of his address in response to calls for " Maslin, Maalin,'' Mr Maslin n:oun'ed the rostrum to answer the statements made in Mr Cu< hbertson's speech. There were several hundred persons present, and the sight of the two candidates standing on tie same " small " platform and facing each other during the discussion of personal matters with regard to their candidature was extremely interesting. Mr W. S Maslin addressed a meeting of electors at Springburn School on Wednes day last, Mr ,T. A» (Jarney accupying the chair. In spite of the very wet weather j there was a good attendance, including re presentatives of the fair sex. As Mr Maslin was a comparative stranger to the Spring burn people he was attentively listened to, and the frequent applause showed that he made a favorable impression. At the close of hia address the speaker was questioned and declared himself a firm supporter of the present Government. At the close a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Maslin and the usual compliment to the Chairman were accorded. The Premier has asked us to ackno* ledge his high appreciation of the kindness of Mr John Holmes in giving up the Oddfellows' Hall last evening for the Premier's meeting. The kindly act was all the more appreciated by Mr Sedd^n in th&t the latter had been addressing meetings every evening almost since the prorogation, with long trying journeys bstween, and though perhaps possessing as strong and robust physique as any man in th 3 colony, nature will give way some times, and he felt that to speak in the Arcade, with " its doors open at both ! endß of the street," would have been trying in the extreme. Mr Holmes' act was there fore in Mr Seddon's eyes far more than a compliment. Despite the enormous sums spent on drain age and ventilation (says the London corres pondent; of the " Sydney Morning Herald "), Westminster Palace, and especially the part in which the House of Commons meejb,, remains in some respects one of the most un. sanitary buildings in the country. It stands practically on a marsh, and its proximity to the river helps to increase the difficulties in the way of securing an unpolluted atmos phere. Fffo#? time to time the stenches in the committee rooms and the corridors, and and even in the House itself, are well-nigh intolerable. The mere numbers of the people who spend hours of the day crowded within the narrow confines of the House its immediate precincts constitute a danger te health, When the influent was raging ;t went through the House like a flash of light? ning, and threatened to bring public bueineßß to a standstill. It is one of the precious anomalies on which we Englishmen pride our selves that the greatest Legislative Assembly in the world should be housed in a chamber in which not more than two-thirds of its menders canl°,4 accommodation atone time | without bepg packed like hearings, that its dining aj?iangements and general convenience should not be as good'■ as tfeo.se .of a second rate club, and that it should perform ita work under sanitary conditions, which, if they prevailed in a private house, would briog the inspector of nuisances about the ears of the occupier. Fortunately, the attendance is thin, and the holidays are at MJiuiigfe

CORRESPONDENCE.

ELECTIONEERING TACTICS.

TO THR EDITOR. I Sir,—Allow me to protest against the methods adopted by Mr Wason and those canvassing on his behalf. They find out who are Mr Waby's supporters, invade them in their homes, and offer them unsolicited advica, saying in effect " Yuur candi Ye has no show. By voting for him you ivwte your vote, and in fact help to elect Mr McLachlan, wh;ch is the last thing you wi«h to do." This argument, oi rather ungrounded assertion. m»y have gome weight with those electors who are anxious to u«o their (in many case*) newly acquired privilege and are, perhaps, 100 easily led. But I trust that those who , are wavering on account of the bogey " wasting the vote," raised by interested parties, will take heart of grace, and determine that by voting according to their conscience, and not at the dicta'e of the self-styled " popular party," uniting with those who will vote for Mr Waby in any case (and their numbers are more considerable than Mr Wason'* party will admit) they will show that the majority of the electors of Afhburton recognise in Mr Waby a high principled and consistent man, who has at heart the prosperity of our country and the happiness of our homes —I am, etc., Fairplay.

ASHBURTON ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your correspondent "An Elec tor " is evidently either lamentably ignor ant in regard to current topics, especially the financial position and prospects of New Zealand, or he is wilfully seeking to mislead those who nay read his effusion. Anyone who reads the English papers knows that instead of drawing away capi tal and destroying confidence in this country as a Afield for investment, it ia recognised in Ing'and that the present Government have dono more than any previous one to establish confidence in it as a field for investment of both capital aad labor* I need not occupy your space by quoting instances to prove this. The facts are so plain and patent that he who runs may read. This being the case, it is, to say the least, anything but 1 patriotic on the part of "An Elector " to publish such a libel on the country of his birth, or adaption, as the case may be. He urges Mr Wason to rrtire in fat or of Mr Purnell, so that he (Mr Purnell) and Mr McLachlan may have a fair stand up fight. But h* does not tell us whac superior claims Mr Purnell has upon the electors. I believe one claim put forward is that he is a resident of Ashbnrton, and would therefore be always "on hand" i when wanted. Mr Purnell is a smart lawyer and might perhaps establish an alias for a client even though such an alias required % dual identity, but Ido not see how even he could be interviewed by his constituents in Ashburton, when attending the sittings of Parliam*nt in Wellington. And I suppose either of the other candidates would be as accessible as Mr Purnell at any other time. One part of your correspondent's letter I quite agree with—' 1 Me Waby does not count." The electors in this district have had one lesson, and will not be likely to return a representativa who would. \*%ve to com mence his political studies (the very V B C of politics) after election. Mr Buxton, it will be remembered sa;d that " although he knew nothing of politics he could go to Wellington to learn." If the electors choose to send an apprentice to Parlia ment they will surely not ask the country for £240 per annum to pay that appren tice, Should they do so, they might go a step further and ask for a private secretary and prompter. I pay this out of no I disrespect to Mr Waby, but we certainly want a man who can deliver »n impromptu speech should hri ever be called upon to done Trusting you will f*vor me by inserting the above, and thanking you.— lam, etc.. Liberal Elector.

THE UNEMPLOYED.

TO THE EirTOK. Sir.—l am quite pleased to see a letter in your columns from Mr Strachan, I wish he had opposed me a little sooner so that he and I could have been able to cross blades a few times before the elections came off. Mr Strachan charges me with directiug the ladies as to how they should vote. Now I plead more or less guilty to this. But then, Adam like, I must also plead in extenua'i^n of my offence that it was a lady who first put the idea into my head. Several ladiea have lately nattered me so far as to ask my opinion on these, matters; and in hopes that others of their sex iray benefit by knowing my well-grounded views on the subject, I will summarise the whole thing in a few words, and then, as the elections have been hurled upon us with indecen* haste, I will wipe my political pen and drop the subject. I have noticed that some of the ladiea north and south, have, at I meeting, talked of divorce as a subject re quiring fresh legislation. Now if Ash burton ladies are of their m"nd and way of thinking, I would be inclined to believe that the best men they could return to parliament would be lawyers. Then again if the ladies wish to revolutionise ihe drink traffic, by closing the licensed houses and driving the tiade into sly corners, presided over by nimble figured good looking •' Cozbis of Midian," they ought "to put in rabid prohibitionists. If they think that labor members, by much talking in the House, can create wealth which could be utilised in giving work to the unemployed in the district* where they live, then the labor members should have a shew. Lastly, would it be worth the ladies' pains for a moment to take into considera tion the merits of the class of men who own and occupy the country. X mean the farm ers great and small. As a body this class of men do not intrude their claims very much on the public. Yec they are the bottom rock in which every bank and business in the country lay their foundation stones. They are the producers of all that is neces sary for the support of men in every posi tion. They are, in short, the working bees who do the labor and produce the honey for the whole human hive, drones included. Now do they not stand prominently above all other sections of men as most likely to prodnce the right sort of members to repre sent us in Parliament ? I say they do, and none but farmers ought to receive a single country born lady's vote. Could the elec tor's of Ashburton and Rangitata find better men to represent them in parliament than Messrs Wright and Wason ? Decidedly not. —lam, e^c D.Oliver.

THE GENERAL ELECTION.

THE PREMIER IN THE ODD FELLOW HALL.

Ai might have been expected, in. answer to the announcement that the Honß.J.Seddon, Premierof the colony, would speak in the Oddfellows' Hall last night, that building long before 8 o'clock was crowded, and still the audience in creased, till c t the commencement of the meeting the people were literally packed like sardines in a box, every inch both on the stage and in the body of th^ hall being utilised. His Wor sbipthe Mayor occupied the chair. The Chairman in introducing the Hon Mr Seddon, said the Premier had condescended to give an address, and he hoped they would be all on their best behaviour. Wherever he had been he had met with good receptions, and he hoped they would be no excep tion to the rule. They had been listening to a good many statements from that platform, and in fact had been told thai if this honorable gentle man and bis party remained in office very long they would all go, well he did not know where (a voice—" To the devil"), that we would be having our quarter-acres confiscated, and nearly cut off our beer. They could do v> ithout the beer perhaps—(No, nq, and yes, yes) —but it was certain they wouldnotlike to lose their quarter-acre sections. He hoped that after to-night all the candi dates, would retire except on*. (Laughter). ..... The Hon. Mr Seddon who, on rising, was greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheering, said he did not at the commencement wish to find fault with his Worship, but the idea of asking them to be on their best behaviour— that was a reflection on them. Ash burton people were noted for the attentive hearing they gave to all that came to speak to them. Perhaps the chairman was thinking of the Borough Council. (Laughter). Th«y had the ladies there and who amongst them would dare to misbehave —no one would think of it (Laughter). He would assure them he was pleased to be present, it was not a compliment on his part to be there, but it was a compliment to him and for the Govern ment to see so many there to listen to what he had to say. (Hear, hear). The public men of this country or any country that desires t* govern the people and govern the country in the interests of the people should go them selves amongst the people so that they may not be misled as they had been mis led in the past by the press of the colony. The Mayor had mentioned in a few words about the misrepresentation that bad arisen, and the misconstruction that had been given, and it had arisen from the Conservative press, they care not what injury they do to the country nor to the people, they go on from day to day with their misrepresentations and then afterwards laugh at you for being their victims, and the victims of what you ought to know better than to believe. If they were treated fairly he felt satisfied the result would be better government than it had been in the days of the Continuous Minis try- The condition of the people, would be improved, and they would have happiness, true contentment, and a prosperous and happy people. (Ap plause and hear, hear.) Ashburton was also noted because of the cele brated speech delivered there, by Sir Julius Vogelin 1884. Twelvemonths ago he (Mr Seddon) had promised to speak at Ashburton, and here he was to carry out that promise and to give effect to what he said he would do.; Hte considered the present juncture a good one, because an opportunity would be given to them between now and Tuesday next to well digest what he said to them, and for them tojudge in their own interests, and the in terests of the country, what they should do. (Hear, hear.) He would now answer some of the charges they had heard from some of the gentlemen seeking their suffrages. He would ask them just to take a look at him, a good look. (Laughter). Did they think there was anything there of the mush room growth. (Loud laughter). Him self and his colleagues were said to be of mushroom growth, and they encum bered the earth for a little while and disappear, and there would be an end to the Liberal party. He would say that the Liberals he and his colleagues represented and the men • and women they repre sented were not of mushroom growth, and to have an expression like that used to a free and indrpendent people was in his opinion a reflection upqjn *hera, as it was a sjross slander upon himself and his colleagues. (Loud ap plause). He stood on that platform, the sole survivor of t'ae Grey liberal party of 1879. It was a long while to be sitting, from September 1879 until November 1893, without a single break, and he would say there was nothing of the mushroom growth of any member of Parliament who so survived —(hear, hear) -and who had been during all that time true to the Liberal, and to the great mass of the people in this country, He would also say that a wise and cautious general goes from point to point encouraging those who are fighting for him, and there must be confidence between the people and the head of the people in New Zealand. He wished to make acquaintance with them all, and he desired to give them all freedom of opinion. He respected those who differed from him, and whilst respecting their opinions would ask them to give him and those working with him fair play, and to respect thejr opinions and i views. Were they going to tafee warn ing by what had occurred in the okjer world | Dfd they desire— ancj he would say that to ths la dips—did tliey desire their offspring to enjoy freedom, to livs a life of happiness in the world they brought them to, and for their offspring to find that world better than they themselves had found it, or did they want the same sad scenes enacted in this country as had been in England, Ireland, and Scotland, where they have , been driven out from the place they had been brought up in, families separated, never to be reunited, because those before them had secured that which gajre thgrn a power over men, and that was land monopoly, arid it MUt that that was injuring the people of this country, and unless they were united in time and were true to themselves they would, be iv the same, sad, eon

dition that they ware in the older world. (Applause.) There was only 8,000,000 acres of Crown land, and because they said, with regard jjto that land, it should be spread over the people and the poor people should have an opportunity of getting it they had been termed socialists, and that they were the seven devils of social ism. (Laugher.) There was no connection between him and his colleagues and hi* satanic majesty. (Laughter). He hoped that himself, and those with him, would so live in this world that they would not make the acquaintance of his satanic majesty in the next. (Laughter). Why should those expressions be made? They had done nothing to warrant them being made. When one of his colleagues designated a certain class as social pet>ts thero was a howl of in* dignation throughout the whole colony, and just before that they had designated him and his colleague! as the seven devils of socialism. He asserted that the social pest charge was the lighter charge of the two. It wag a great pity expressions of a personal character of that kind should be in dulged in, there should be no necessity for these expressions. When his Government took office after a Con servative ministry, who had ruled the country from 1887 to 1890,' they found that thousands of their fellow colonist! had been driven from the country, property depreciated in value, the heart torn out of the people, and depression reigning supreme. Had a change taken place—he gaid that it had—property wu now of greater value and population had returned. In less than three yean population h»d increased by 35,000, and during the last nine months popu lation had increased by 6000 more ever and [above those who had left these shores, and whilst this increased num ber had come it was gradually absorbed, and they had not disturbed the ordinary working of things. They had gradu ally found employment, had found their position upon the land, and now there was to be found contentment and prosperity from one end of Neve Zealand to the other. When taxed with the outcome of their policy of driving people out|of the colony, when, Sir Harry Atkinson held office, what did he Bay—" Oh, let them go; they will return and bring others with them." That was callous in the extreme. He had no care ior the suffering entailed upon the population by being driven away. He expected a great benefit from these people leaving the country, from children leaving their homes, from wives bidding adieu to their husband* It was not right to callously say, " Oh, let them go, they will bring others with them." He had every respect for the dead, and he respected the memory of the statesman he had just mentioned, but he came there to give them: fact?, and he gave them that as a warn ing. No doubt there were some in that room who would be sorry to to see what ttey knew had occurred in the Old World to occur in this* for the cries of the Old World had "been brought before some of them and ought to be a warning. He would ask those in the room whftb had sent them away from the Jand of their birth. Look at the sacrifices entailed upon them, and, ask themselves did they leave voluntarily. The answer would be that they had felt it keenly to have to leave, and their children w^uld not be true to them unless they took warning against the evils that overtook their parents. He had told them he would prove that the cry of driving capital out of the colony was a bogus cry brought up from time to time. It was something like the cuttle fish—when it was attacked it threw out ink and defied its enemies. So it was at the present time with those who were not doing that which was in the interests of the colony. Directly we exposed them out comes the ink, and they made serious charges which they cannot prove. Mr Wright made certain statements about the indebtedness of the colony. (A. voice : Quite right too). Mr Wright may be quite right but hia statements are quite wrong. Then you have the Christchurch "Press. 11 It disagrees with Mr Wright. The "Press" uewspaper is always correct, therefore it is proved that Mr Wright is wrong; and then they come to the statements made by Mr Rhodes, and he is to be the next Coloniaf Treasurer—(laughter)—, and he neither agrees with the "Press" nor with Mr Wright. Now of the three whom do you think is right? (Laughter— A, voice: Wright). He would prove to them that no capital had left the colony. He would not worry them with more figures than he could help, but as they had heard, so many figures quoted lately he thought and hoped a few more would not hurt their feelings. In March 1891 the indebtedness per head was £61 19s 4d, in September 1893 it was only £59 4s id, or £2 10a less than when they took office. Now he would explain that to them. He saw some of them smiling, but they should bear with him when ha said it was his duty to explain it to the ladies. Of courke "men knew all about those thiDgs; many there no doubt could be Colonial Treasurers without theslightett trouble. (Laughter). But it *as right he should explain to them, and to the ladies especially, what this indebted ness meant. The liability, when they took office, was £61 19s 4d, now it had been reduced to only £59 4s 4d. It had been reduced in two ways—lst, increase of jropula lation reduces the indebtedness per head, as there is more population there is so much per head I6ss, anoj 1 they had paid . certain Joans ' singe 1 taking office, thereby also reducing the indebtedness. Again, if they jopjk ie from from another standpoint there was an amount of money to credit of persons in banks then, and the amounjj to credit of the people now in the same institutions —via., ordinary banks and savings banks-^and if he showed them there was more money lying there now than when he took office, it would show their policy had not been the means of driving away capital. In March 1891 the indebtedness per head was £61 19a 4d ; in September 1893 it was only £59 4s 4d, or £2 15s Od less than when they took office. They could not get behind that, and they must congratulate themselves on it. He would next take the amount of money' bn deposit in the banks. In ordinary banks the amounts, not bear ing iuterest on September 30, 1893. t were ££,050,883, wd Gorernjn^nt 4*

In order that these crude oils may not bo taken, Our Pare Volatile Bnw* Irutt Enrart, which ia rgxwnised by the j medical division of the Prussian Government to be of ; perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 It in proved by tests made by the Medicial Clinics of the ULivereities at Bonn and Greifswal', PruseU, Hind reported by Dr Schuls, Professor of Pharmacology »t Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director Of the I Modical Clinic at Greifswol.l, that only products th*t are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, SAtf DEB & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to these authorities, and acoor ing to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of * merles, is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Allother crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extract*, which may have received dist action at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible:— I. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the enly genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy p ). I By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acidK 8. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, «o callei eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in oams of croup, b onchitts, aipn theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wound*, the tbec<nsequeHCß«e moat appalling.

These pills strengthen the nerves and are the safest general puriHers of the blood. Nausea, headache, giddi ness, numbness and mental apathy yield to them They relieve in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic paina, fullness at the pit of the I stomach, abdomal distension, and regulate alike capricious appetites and confined bowls—the commonly accompanying signs of defective or diminised nerve tone. Holloway's Pills are particularly recom mended to persons of studious and seden tary habits, who gradually fall into a nervous and irritably B*%'e, unlees som such restorative be occasionally taken.
