he had to say on nomination day, for circum stances altered cases. It was said of British roops that they never knew when they were beaten, and it was so with him. Under the ircumstances and in view of the forces

Drought against him by his opponents he hardly felt beaten. But although beaten he need not feel ashamed, and he did not. He was proud of his position on the poll, and thanked the 2300 elec tors who had placed him there. Such a defeat as this, he believed,_ would be the precursor of many futurefvictories. He should continue to take part in politics, and at a future day would ask those who had supported him now to rally round him again, and assist him to carry out his policy. As Mr Wil liamson had been elected, he should have his (Mr D.) support so far as he could give it him It could not be said that Mr William sod had the majority of the whole of the votes, but still there was a large body of electors, 2900, who had supported him on account of his past services. Now he (Mr D.) wasnew to politics, and had nopastto referto. They had to take him on credit. As they had elected Mr Williamson, all would do well to support him, for he must have diffi culties to encounter, and for the welfai-e of the province he must not be factiously opposed. (Cheers) It was said of his (Mr D's) countrymen that they sometimes spoke first andtbought afterwards. He would notsay that he had done so, or admit such a thing, but if in tTie heat of the moment he had mrdeuse of any unkind or unjust remarks in reference to his opponents, he begged now to " bury the hatchet," and to withdraw them all. (Cheers.) He was prepared to act cordially with them both in public and private life, and would support any men who acted for the good of the country, and were not led by clicjuism or personal agrandise ment. To those who had supported him he would say keep together and run with him again on a future clay. He cordially thanked all who had supported him. Mr Lusk, who, on coming forward, was received with mingled cheers and signs of disapprobation, said he should not detain them by making what could properly be called a speech. It was said that brevity was the soul of wit, and on this occasion, if never before, he should, therefore, be witty. He was at the bottom of the poll, and in view of the circumstances and the principles he had stood forth to defend, he was not ashamed of that position. If the time came over again he should do the same as he had done. He had stood on principle, and he regretted, nob for his own sake, but for that of the province, thab a majority of the electors differed from him. Time would show if the Act, pronounced to day to have been thoroughly and proparly done, had been done well and wisely. If it v, are so he would be glad. He heartily thanked those I,SOO electors who had voted for him, and felt grateful to them, and so ought the whole province. The majority of those present were not his supporters who had been the settlers in the country, and residents on the goldfields, and to them and to those livin» in the city and suburbs who. had sup° ported him, he returned his thanks. He hoped the principles he had advo cated would be taken up and yet be triumphant. He would say nothing' about his opponents except that he would refer to one remark of Mr Williamson's, who had called him the "undertaker" of the pro vince. It would be regretted if four years hence the undertaker, not of the province, but of Provincial institution, had to be called in. He would not enlarge upon the sub ject by giving good advice to them now, but he would say this, that at any rate he ~ had no hatchets to bury and no false or malicious aspersions to withdraw. Throughout the contest he had not said or done anything unworthy of any man aspiring to the office of Superintendent. He again returned his thanks to those who had sup ported him. It was expected that Mr Gillies, the oat going Superintendent, would have been pre sent to have delivered up the key 3of office to Mr Williamson, as Mr Williamson did to him four years ago, but Air Gillies did not make his appearance. Mr Williamson (now Superintendent) moved a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer, which was seconded by Mr Darga ville, put and past. The Returning, Officer, in returning thanks, observed that the election had been carried out in a very orderly manner throughout, and that he had received every assistance from his deputies, the candidates, and the electors. It was true he was obliged to order one or two persons out of the Mechanics' Institute. If he had done it roughly he was very sorry for it. It was done in the dis charge of his duty in keeping order. The Act Avas a difficult one to carry out, and the scrutiny of the ballot papers was a very troublesome duty. In this work he had been ably assisted by Messrs Robinson, Shepherd, and Collins (sen. and jun.), and their names were all deserving of mention on this occa sion. He thanked them all for their assist ance, and for the vote of thanks they had passed to him.

The Superintendent here called for three cheers for the Returning Officer, which were heartily responded to. The crowd (which was estimated at about 1030) here dispersed, and a carriage and four greys was driven up to the hustings, in which Mr Williamson rode away among the hearty cheers of his supporters and friends. The proceedings throughout were con ducted in a most quiet and orderly mamier, and lasted a much less time than they did four years ago. So ends the Auckland Superintendency election, 1873.
