THE LESSOR FOR NEXT ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —The ballot box has declared un mlstakeably that Mr McLachlan does not represent even a third of those who voted on Tuesday. I think it certain that he doesn** represent even a fourth part of this constituency. Well we must grin and bear it, and hope for better luck next time. At next election if, this community wish to be really represented in Parlia ment, the content must be fought out by two candidates only. Unless individuals are prepared to give up personal pre ferences, and seek the a;ood of the coun try rather than the victory of a party, real representation will be impossible. If one really sensible, capable, upright, patriotic and well-known citizen had con tested this election, he could have written M.H.A. after his name to-day. I am unacquainted with this gentleman; per haps he hides like King Saul " among the stuff." We must overcome his modesty at next election and send him to Welling ton.—l am etc., Scunnered.
