The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 65

Want of Interest Regretted

Want of Interest Regretted.

I will now attempt to give you shortly my opinions on sundry matters which seem to me to be of moment to the Colony, and to our District. I must say, and you will excuse me for saying it, that it is to be regretted that more interest has not been taken in this election, and that more candidates have not come forward on this occasion. The District of Bruce is one of the oldest and most advanced in the Colony. Its roads, its railways, its agricultural and mineral and pastoral resources, its hills, its dales, and its sea-board, are an inheritance which anyone might be proud to represent in the Parliament of a very noble Colony. But we may fairly hope, perhaps, that the present appearance of but one local candidate is a failing which will never be repeated.
