I IHavelock effected the relief of Lucknow. ' I Be. had a .few, words to say upon tho ■ City. ?ast contest. At the nomination on I thorsday, by an. impertinent electioneering , trick,S*r George G?ey had been got toßpeak 'AS' first—jn order that Mr Clark shbuld be able to folio vy him and answer anything he said. That, would havo been enough of itself, but it did not stop there. Mr Clark had offended against ovory rule of decency in his reply to Sir George Grey, and the AU. credit of such a thing was all the more notorious, because of the man's position as Mayor of Auckland. His elcctiou to tho Beat would only add to the disgrace of the scene to which he had referred. (Enthu siastic cheers.) Mr Clark bad openly stated that if Sir George Grey's principles were carried out ho must approve of the murder of the people who had opposed them. Just let them fancy such a charge being levelled by a man like Mr Clark at Sir George Grey, whose position, character, history and ex perience should be sufficient protection against any attack of the kind. (Sensa tion.) Yet the statement hud been made, and made advisedly, and when called atten tion to, instead of being frankly withdrawn and apologised for, it had been repeated. If our public men could be guilty of such wanton and injurious defamation, then it was time that they were swept into the ob'curity from which they had sprung (loud cheers)—tor ho who could givo utterance to such a wicked calumny was unworthy of public confidence (renewed cheers). This was not all, however. Tho proverb, " Set a thief to catch a thief," had been used in reference to Sir George Grey (groans). Now, Sir George Grey had had more power and greater facilities for ac-

quiring lands than any othor mnn on this Bide the world. When Governor of South Australia, he could have acquired princely territories for himself for next to nothing, and yet he did not secure a single acre; in New Zealand he bought princely estates with his own money, but they were for the people, the money being actually advanced from his private funds for the purpose—loud cheer*)— and in South Africa vast areas of tortile land bad been offered him without price at all, but in all theso cases he had refused to aggrandise himself, and unflinchingly pursued the straight courso of rectitudo and high principle. The-whole feeling of the community must, therefore, revolt at the charges mado against a mau like Sir George Grey, who had spent his life in the service of his country, who hud ever displayed an ardent devotion to the cause of the people, whose public actions were an eloquent eulogy upon his unswerv ing honesty and thorough disinterestedness, and who yet In his old age, weary, sick, and feeble, was made the butt for ridicule, tho mark for slander, and tbo object of hatred, Bimply because he continued to fear lessly advocate tbo cause he hud io deeply at heart—the cause of the people. (Enthusiastic cheers.) To vilify, traduce and insult such a man—who was patiently going on socking to benefit his fellow man—was most unworthy. History offered many examples of great men who had championed Ihe popular cause, who had fought the battle of the poor against the rich and powerful, who had aeught to elevate their race, who had striven to ameliorate tho condition of their fellow men, having been persecuted by thoso in whose service they had laboured, thought, nnd suffered. Posterity conceded them the tardy justice that contemporary opinion denied them. It was of them that the poet was thinking when he wrote: —

"These wero tho bravest warriors that ever These the most gifted poots that ovor breathed a word; And never Karth'a philosopher traced with hia golden pon Wordß half ao aago on the deathless page as thoy wrote down to men." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Mr Clark called himself n business man, and' yet tho Railway Commission, of which he formed a part, and in which be exercised a potential voice, only recom mended the construction of two railways, viz., the line to the Bay of Islands Coal Company's property, in which company Mr Clark and his friends were large share holders, and the construction of 4 j miles of the Riverhead line, which was then to be abut up, except for the carriage of baulk timber from the sawmills, in which Mr Mr Clark and his friends were also in terested (cheers). Tbe line from Auckland to Taranaki was absolutely scouted by thorn, although the prosperity of this pro vince depended upon it, Mr Rees concluded a fervid peroration with the recital of a choice poetical ex tract. He resumed his seat amidst loud and prolonged cheers. In answer to questions, tho candidate said that in certain cases he would allow a life assurance policy to rank as an asset for the protection of creditors ; that he did not believe a Justice of the Peace named Bar ton Ireland or any other Justice should re ceive a shilling for giving his signature; that men would not bring in a Bill to com pel men to divide equally their ostates among their children, but he would favour a law to secure a fair proportion of property T-eiop left to all the children; that he would favour the passing of the English Em ployers' Liability Act, that he would sup port the prohibition of children of tender age from being employed in factories; that he would seek to get P-imsoll's Act passed here; that he would supporta lawrenderingit necessary for J.P.s to pass a legal examina tion ; that he would vote for Sir George Grey's Law Practitioners Act, tor ho had no sympathy with close monopolies; that he would seek to limit the power of judges to commit for contempt of Court; that his £300 had nothing to do with the vote of the House, inasmuch as it was paid to him by Mr Sievewright, for Hoani.Nahe.who acted for the West Coast natives: that a Parlia mentary Committee had uot pronounced tbat payment illegal, although the Com mittee appointed to investigate the matter was o packed one; that tbe payment had been made after the Grey Government had been defeated, but before they bad left offico; that he had not denounced the Auokland community as mean and cowardly, but only particular cliques in it* that he was the largest shareholder in and solicitor for the Poverty Bay Land Company ; that Messra Reeves, Do Lautour, etc., and other Parliamentary candidates were shareholders also; that the objects of that company wero to cut up native laad into small farms for public settlement; that Messrs Clark and Peacock were amongst those who had at tempted to stop tho floating of tho com pany; that ho had mortgaged some native lands, but for only the execution of public works; and that he possessed no property qualification in Auckland. Mr A M. Williams moved, and Mr V. Dunningham Seconded, "That we have the utmost confidence m W. L. Rees as a fit and proper person to represent us in Parliament, and also thank him for his ad-, dress." (Loud and prolonged cheering.) MrEccles, amidst hooting, groaning, and indescribable confusion proposed, as an amendment, "That a vote of thanks be ao corded to Mr Rees for his address. Mr C. G. Hill, amidst equal disorder, seconded it, '. ... ... Both gentlemen persistently tried, aided by the chairman, to get a hearing, but neither succeeded. ' Mr Neylon having spoken in Bupport of the resolution, , , , Mr Rafton came forward and announced tho withdrawal of Mr Thwaites from the contest in favour of Mr Rees. (Cheers). He suggested to Mr Garrard the desirability of withdrawing also. . . Mr Garrard thought tho proposition unfair, as be bad been the first candidate in the held. However, he would consider tho matter.and announce bis intentions three clear days before tho polling commenced. The amendment waa next put, but only two hands were hold up for it.and several hundreds against. The motion was then put and carried with the greatest enthusiasm, only three hands being raised against it. The usual Compliment having been paid the chair, the large assemblage dispersed, after giving three lusty cheers for Mr Roes.
