It was that led to that geo^emar being deprived of his promised office of

in' answer to Mr T. Henderson, juo, Mr Macfarl&ne admitted he had made use of the expression that he had made Waitemata right for next time. Mr. Thos. Henderson said many years had elapsed since he had been before them in his present capacity. A little book had been placed m his hands. He would read the pre face. (Mr. Henderson then read the preface of Mr. T. S. Macfarlane's book on " Timber and Floatage.) He objected to the statement that there was any necessity for the bill. in his evidence he was simply guided by his own experience. In that evidence his conduct was termed disreputable. He challenged any man in New Zealand to state what disreputable conduct he had been guilty of. He hoped they would bear with him while he defended himself from the attacks of " that individual." Mr. Macfarlane had paid the electors a sorry compliment when he gave the reason for his coming forward. Why Mr. Macfarlane was out days before him. In reference to the large compensations he had received he would tell them that he was solicited by the Gover nor of the day to complete the purchase of the land to prevent a disturbance among the natives, who were clamorous to sell. _ It was not from the Government he obtained the compensation : it was from a committee of the House. Arid the £95° was 1? *c cos, °l extinguishing the native title. In doing what he did in that matter he had always thought he was doing the State a service. One claim he had to their suffrages was that dunug Hone Heke's war he had kept 300 to 400 natives at work, and in spite of all Heke's entreaties they remained with him. He had been called an obstructive ih the timber trade but he denied that he had been anything of the kind. He had made large ventures in starting timber industries of his own, even when he had to borrow money at IS to 20 per cent, to do it. He had also largely assisted others in starting mills. He had been no obstruction ; they owed the intro duction of the pheasant to him. So much had he been an Auckland man that every shilling of his money had been spent in the province. They must excuse him blowing his own trum phet, but he had been personally attacked and was obliged to defend himself. Was it in the character of an obstructive that he had been instrumental in starting the Bank of New Zea land, the New Zealand Insurance Company, and other institutions ? He must apologise for his shortcomings in the past. His health and "the shop" had distracted.his attention and they must be his excuse. His health was now better, and the young men could carry on "the shop" as well without him as with Mm, and he could promise that if elected he would give their interests his best attention. In answer to questions Mr Henderson said lie was of opinion that people ought not to be put in prison as vagrants because they were poor; nor should whitewashed justices sit on the bench. Any man who has a stake in the colony should vote. Education should be free to all, and on the unsectarian system. He thought educaiion would be better managed by the. General Government. Or Separation he believed that a disunion of the two islands was perfectly possible, and perhaps advisa ble. Hs was of opinion that the public creditor would be satisfied with the security left in each island. (Cheers).

Mr W. J. Hurst said he should endeavor to be as brief as possible. As to the ferry boat dodge he knew nothing about it, Hot having been to town that day He advocated sinking of small differences in the great questions of the day. Some people had been circulating the rumour that he was "a doubtful card." He would tell them that years ago before Sir George Grey came out lie had been one with Mr Gillies and Mr Sheehan to invite Sir George Grey to come to their assistance in their difficulties. (Hear ) He recollects Sir George Grey's words in the Choral Hall when he urged the necessity of their supporting him. He recognised that necessity. Sir George had already done much for them. He bad created an Opposition in the Assembly. They wanted a statesman, and there was no greater statesman inthecolong They must elect one who would follow Sir George in the policy which that leader had sketched out in the House. Mr. Gillies, in 1873, had told his constituents that the Provincial system in the North Island had become an absurdity. He drew a contrast between the money spent on the South Island and the North Island. He alluden to the recent order in Council, by which certain papers were appointed gazettes by the Government, so that those who spoke against them did not get any advertisement. The whole tendency of the system of the Ministry was to throw all the power into the hands of a few. In relation to the Kaipara railway, Mr Hurst magni fied the importance of the connection of Kai para and Waitemata, and expressed his opinion that it was urgent, that it should be extended to Auckland. He urged the necessity of making good roads throughout the district. He was in favour of free secular education, and he was glad that the General Government was going to take it up. Ab to the land fund, Mr Vogel had told the truth when he had told them at the Choral Hall that in five or six years they would have a good land fund of their own. Let them take care they did not continue to agitate their claim to the Southern fund till they found that? that was exhausted, and they had given the South a title to their own. (Hear ) lv conclusion he promised them his best efforts to secure their rights. (Cheers.) Mr. G. S. Graham obtained from Mr. Hurst an admission that he had not been present at any meeting of the committee who brought out Sir George Grey. Some pleasant banter took place between Mr. Graham and Mr Hurst. In answer to Mr. Wrigley, Mr Hurst said he was of opinion that all public works Bhonld let by public tender, and all public lands sold by public auction. The show of hands was then called, and re salted as follows :— Dr. Lee 19 Mr Macfarlane 13 Mr Hurst 10 Mr Henderson ... 8 A poll was claimed for Messre. Macfarlane g d Henderson. The poll was declared for the 19th inst. A vote of thanks to the Re turning Officer closed the proceedings.

Franklin Nomination.

[PER "STAR" CARRIER PIGEON.]

A very large number of Franklin electors were present. The Returning Officer read the advertisement and writ authorising the election. Before calling on the electors to nominate any candidate, Mr. Barstow addressed the electors a few words respecting the ques tioning of candidates. Many here now were present at the last nomination, and will remember h>w protracted our proceedings were. I have been for a long time Returning Officer, and have at all times allowed the greatest liberty. The audience become •xhausted by the protracted questions asked and speeches made—the last meeting was disorderly through the same cause. In thw Act I see no riaht givetf to electors to ask any question. If the Returning Officer likes to allow any elector the liberty to ask ques -1 tions he has power to allow. I shall allow candidates to address electors before the show of hands. I shall not allow any questions to I have heard of constitutional rights being infringed. la England I think that the hua

tings will shortly be done entirely away with, fi-lecfions are now bning looked upon as strictly business matters, having now fully explained rr.r own viewß, if any elsctor wisues to propose a fl. ly qualified I'epreaen *:tive for the Housa o£ i'opresentativfcs, he may do so Mr Andrews: In proposing Mr Goodfellow tor our member I have left to say he is so well kuo wn and is so independent that he will be a beneficial member He is a farmer and as such has your interests at stake. Detracting things were said of Mr. Good fellow because he had not canvassed the district. 1 believe he will prove a true and staunch representative for this district. Mr. Eobertson proposed Mr. Joseph May. He had served the constituency well and faithfully before and was able to "do it again. Mr. Crawford had great pleasure in seconded the nomination of Mr. May. Great cry was made of Mr. Mays vote for Abolition. He (Mr..'Crawford) sup ported their late member for that vote He thought the land fund must be

got gradually and by degrees. Mr. May did not go into the Assembly for what he could get. He was above any thing of that. Mr Crawford said he had personally sacrificed a great deal in the present election, having given way to let Mr May get in. Mr Crawfo-id at length expatiated on the merits of Mr. May, and was saying that there was a class of people in Auckland who live by pickings, and that the Frarklyn electors did not want to be made stepping stones of —he was interrupted by cries of (cut it short, sit down.) Captain Harris proposed Mr. Hamlin. (Cheers.) A gentleman who knew the wants of the district equally with Mr. May with this difference that he was ready to help to get those wants fulfilled. Mr. Hamlin would notgosleepingonthe Government Benchesuntil the ringing of the bell foradi vision. In the Cross reference was made to May's Parliamentary proceedings. Mr. May's Par liamentary proceedings were to go to sleep on benches and. rush in when the bell began to ring. (Louc laughter anc cries of "no " and "yes." Mr. Luke : I beg to second the nomination of Mr. Hamlin.

Mr. A. Martin was glad to see so much in terest shewn. Some say this gentleman has turned his coat. (Hear, hear.) lam sick and tired of our old members. (Cheers.) I have great respect for them individually, but I can't see that they have done any good. (Cheers.) With respect to Mr May voting for the aboli tion, instead of such being to his credit he could almost characterise it as perjury. (Cheers.)

Mr. WELSH seconded Mr. Woodward's nomination. He said that the Auckland elections up to this time had returned men favourable to Sir George Grey's policy. (Cheers.) He hoped that Franklyn would not be behind in doing the same. Mr Keiahter proposed Mr Lusk as a fit and proper person to represent Franklyn, a man of undoubted ability.

Mr Gordon seconded, and spoke warmly in suppoit of Mr Lusk, he was pleased to see so man\ good men supporting Sir George Grey, who had the ability to guide the destinies of a country. Mr Logan here interrupted, and on Mr W. Gordon directing a sharp remark at him. Mr Logan rose and faced Mr Gordon and amid a general uproar said he would like Mr Gordon to go with him on to the platform.

Mr Gordon continued—l do not wish to rise anybody's ire, it has been said on behalf of Mr Woodward that he is a Greyite. I deny it. It will be in the recollection of the people that he stigmatised Sir George Grey as a nonentily. (Mr Woodward Its false, its false. Mr Luckie.—Keep qaiet, Wood ward, keep quiet Woodward). Mr Lusk is a man of ability—even his enemies will allow this— (Voice : He hasn't got any, only the poll tax). Mr Barstow called the meeting to order.

Mr Ev.-ry Maclean proposed Mr W. Buck land. (Hisses and groans from all parts of the hall were the response.) Mr Maclean said : Gentlemen, do you hiss when an old colonist is brought forward (Renewed hisses.) Major Walmsley said he intended to back the " boss" on his right (patting Mr Buck land) in spite of the hisses. He was the only man who, with true bulldog courage, had occupied land near Maori territory in dis affected times. He was a man always in advance of civilization.

The candidates commenced to address the electors at 1 15, and at 2 30 Messrs. Good fellow and May had spoken. Mr. Hamlin, who was the favourite, was making his speech. Messrs. Woodward, Lusk, and Buckland had yet to speak, when our reporter was compelled to leave.

The nomination of Mr Buckland was under stood to be merely that that gentleman might have an opportunity of attacking Mr Lusk.
