MR COLLINS' CANDIDATURE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Your editorial remarks in refer ence to. my position as candidate for municipal honors are to my mind most unfair, and altogether unworthy of the editor of a pubic journal, who believes in the unrighteousntS3 of the practice of hitting below the belt. Your covert insinuation that the "reserves question; Is likely to militate against my success " may please ycu, but is nevertheless guile uncalled for on your part, arid not a little mean. The public as a rule believe iD, and demand fair play, and I am not afraid cf the results on that score, You may have your favorites, and have a right to blow your little trumpet in their favor with all your might, but you have no right to resort to side issues to the injury of others. If you intend to fight, do so in a fair manner. All I ask is fair play, and am confident that even if you deny me that right, the public will readily grant it to me. —I ana, etc., W. H. Collins.

Smith, M.H.R., for a subsidy to assist "him in his proposed visit to England in connec tion with the promotion of the Taranaki ironsand industry. A long debate ensued, several members expressing the opinion that ie was a most extraordinary spectacle to see an hon. member standing up in the House to ad vocate his own personal claims. The Premier acquitted Mr Smith of any personal motives, in the matter, and moved the adjournment of the debate in order to get on with work. The motion was carried. QUESTIONS. The remainder of the afternoon was devoted to questions. The Hou39 rose at 5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. THE ELECTORAL BILL.

After further discussion the amend ment was rejected on ,the voices, and t]\e Souse went into Committee. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The estimate of the Agricultural Depart ment was the first to come under dis cussion, and the vote of £34;445 passed without amendment.

In the vote £2533, Miscellaneous Ser vices, Mr Richardson moved to strike out the item establishment of forest branch pi the Department £210q. Sir R. Stout supported the item, and thought that too little was spent in forest conservation.

rJL lie Electoral Bill.

(iT.OM OUR OWN COKKBSPONDENT.) Wilunqton, September 9. Sir Robert Stout says aa the amend ments made on the Electoral Bill are .purely liberal and were put m by the Attorney General, the Premier made a tactical blunder in not accepting them last ni?ht. His action lends colour to the rumors persistently circulated in the lobbies tint Government do not des;re to pass tho Bill. Of the twelve recently appointed councillors, he points out that six voted against the third reading of the lirll and one or two other members of the chamber, who generally vote wirh Governmentl, and who no doubt would have so voted on this occasion, if they had been asked, also supported Mr Bowen's amendment, Sir Robert has no fear of the Bill, because the amendments will be accepted by the Lower JJouse, and an Electoral Bill is not one of the measures that the Royal instructions provide should be reserved. Should the Ministers recommend his Excellency to reserve it for the Royal assent^ it would hi the Speaker's duty to hold the Appro priation Bill till all the other Bills passed by the House had been assented to by the Governor. This occurred with th« Land Bill in 1877, during Sir George Grey's regime. Sir Robert further tells me that he fears ministers will force a prorogation at once, and get the elections over as early as possible, which would prevent women, and country women especially, register ing- . The dissenting " Lords," in accordance with their avowed intention, are signing a protest to the Governor against the passage of the Electoral Bill. It will be entered on the journals of the Council on > Monday afternoon and be forwarded to' Lord Glasgow immediately. It is in these terms—We, the undersigned members of the Legislative Council, IS ew Zealand, pro test against the vote of the Council in favor of the third reading of the Electoral Bill, which provides for giving the frau chise to women, on the ground that this political and social revolution will be carried on the eve of a general election, and although the principle of such an im portant change in the Constitution has not been submitted to the electors for their decision on thft subject. The round robin at present has twelve signatures, and half a dozen others are expected to attach their names.
