NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.

PARNELL.

Tho nomination of candidates for the re presentation of Parnell in Parliament took place at the Patnell Hall, at noon to-day. Mr Wi F. Lodge, Returning Oincer for the constituency, presided, and there were about 50 electors present. The Beturning Officer having read the election writ, . . , Mr McKenzie nominated Mr Frederick Joseph Moss, and in doing so referred to Mr Moas'B fitness for the position. It might be said he was not a busi&ess man—a suc cessful business man—but he did not think that a drawback. A business man's ideas wero apt t6 be too narrow, and he waa.not likely to make a good legislator. Mr Moss was pre-eminently qualified tor a legislator, and he had much plea-rare in nominating Mr James Wrigley seconded. He did not think they could hnvo a better local member, as Mr Mos3'fj ear was '.at the com mand of every elector. They knew that he did what was best for the colony as a wholo. Mr Watt nominated Mr Kichard Monk. He was a working man's friend, and a working man himself. He was a straight forward and honest man, and moreover a thorough Northerner. Mr John McColl, in seconding the nomi nation, said that what they required was a good business man. He did not believe in men making politics a trade, as politics were just as likely to warp a man's judg ment as any other business. Mr Moss was a straightforward man, but he was leading a forlorn hope, and Parnell would never get any aid from his side of the Homo. Mr Moss, in a spirited speech, urged his olaims on the constituency. For 25 years he bad been an advocate of Liberal measures, and before the initiation of the Grey movement he had written a pamphlet supporting the viowsnow adopted by Sir George Grey. He expressed sur prise at Mr McColl speaking as he had done, teeing that on the occasion of Mr Newman's meeting a year or two ago he had referred to Grey as the saviour of the colony. (Mr McColl :It is a falsehood. Stick to thc;tho truth.) In concluding, Mr Moss referred to "hard headed business men" monopolising the lands. He would support Sir George Grey and tho principles enunciated by him. Mr Monk also spoke, referring to his lengthy residence in the colony, and his acquaintance with tho wants of the North. The Grey party could not »how one practical benefit that had bten derived from their administration, but he would not bind himielf hard and fsst to snppoit tho present Ministry. A show of hands was then taken,with the following result :—

Moss 24 Monk 13 The propoicr and seconder of the latter demanded a poll. A voto of thanks to the Returning Omcer, proposed by Mr Moss, terminated the pro ceedings.

EDEN.

Tha nomination of candidates for the representation of the electoral district of Eden in the new Parliament took place to day in tne Kxcelsior Hull, corner of Pitt and East-streets, Newton. Bather more than 50 persons were present. The Returning Officer (Mr S. V, Collins), having duly opened the proceedings, Mr F. Cherry proposed and Mr G. Sea brook seconded, Mr Reader Gilson Wood as a fit and proper person to represent the constituency in Parliament. Mr Joseph Warren proposed, and Mr Thomas Thompson seconded Mr Joseph Augustus Tole as a fit and proper person to represent the constituency. Mr Reader Wood said that he would not have considered it necessary to have addressed the people on this occasion, in view of the recency of his speech, had not a misapprehension got abroad with respect to his action in regard to certain proposals of Mr Menzies, M.L.C., for Bible-reading in schools. He was said to bave voted ia favour of them, but the (act was that they were rejected in the Upper House and never reached the House of Representatives, He was in favour of a secnlar system of education, and had consistently voted in that direction. Then, too, he bad been called a burglar for contesting, the Eden seat against Mr Tole, but ho claimed that he had perfect and constitutional right to contest any seat he pleated, and the polling would determine whether or not he had reason to stand for Eden, If rejected he would return to his books and trees; it elected he would do his best to serve the clecton.

Mr J. A. Tole began by explaining his action with regard to the Licensing Bill. Ho then went on to say that a great many inuendoes bad boon thrown out against him on the subject of the Land League, and on this point ho wished it clearly understood that nr had no sympathy whatever with out rage, and that insubordination to the law offended him to the very soul. Still, like all true Liberals, and like themselves ho was opposed to the monopoly of land, and would do his utmost to prevent any such thing. In this sense only he took part in the Land League Meeting. He charged Mr Wood with having voted for the first reading of Mr Menzics1 Bill for Bible reading in schools, and referred to Hansard in proof of the statement. The gentleman, it was true, had also a perfect right to contest any seat he pleased, bnt he had selected Eden because he knew that his chances of reflection at Waitcmata wtre very uncertain. His (the speaker's) faiih in the people govercned was iniinitesainial but his faith in the people governing was unlimited and his object weuld ever be to Rive them as far as possible the power of governing themselves. He also wished to Bee earned the great Liberal measures to which his party was committed—the re-ad justment of taxation, the securing of the land for the people, the placing of repre sentation upon a proper footing, the paseiDg of a good system of local Government allowing the. people to legislate for and ad minister their own concerns, and also tho breaking down of our huge and costly centralism, The electors had in Mr Wood a refnge from another constituency—a political vagrant who could find no elector, ate to accept them—a gentleman who had been the very head and front of political treachery; while he had devoted six years to the service of the people of Eden and could promise them unswerving con sistency of action, integrity of purpose and an honourable fulfilment of pledges. If they placed their trust in him they could rely upon it that he would not discredit their choice. A show of hands was then called for, and resulted as follows :— Tole 24 2 Wood - * Mr Wood demanded a poll. The passing of a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer concluded the proceedings.

NEWTOWN-MR SWANSON ELECTED

The nomination for Newton took place in the Ponsonby Hall. The attendance was not large, uo opposition to the late member being expected. At noon, Mr J. J. Dixon, Returning Officer, called upon any elector desirous of proposing a candidate to come forward. Mr Thomas T. Maaetield then proposed Mr W. Swanson as a fit person to represent Newton. He was in Wellington during last session, and he found that Mr Swanson was most assiduous to his duties both in and out of the House. Mr J. H. Field seconded the nomination. There was no other proposition, and Mr William Swan son was declared duly elected amidst applause. ..-.., Mr Swanson then came forward to thaDK the electors for the honour conferred upon him. This was the fourth time he had been returned for the district unopposed. He conld do no more for them than he had done in the past, but he would continue to pive his best attention to their Interests. In the late sossion ho differed from Sir George Grey in reference to the property aad leasehold vote. He thought the leasehold vote should be restored to all those who bad lost it. He did not like all the nominations and elections taking place on one day. He would oppose any altera tion to the Education Act, and would ob ject strenuously to the vote being reduced, and the burden placed on the people. He thought it would be hard on tho people to bave the poor of all parts coming here to be' supported. Subsidies to the charitable in stitutions must soon ceaße. There was a good deal of talk about great estates, -and although he would like to see the great estates burst up, there were other questions more important to the people. The law relating to Lunatic Asylums wanted alteration, and he did not see why the whole of the Civil Ser vice and membera of the Assembly should be exempt from service on juries. An alteration was required in the law of wills by which a man would be prevented from leaving their property to strangers, and throwing his family on public charity. Men should bb compelled to divide their land equally amongat their children, and this would have the effect of cutting uu large blocks of land, lie objected to the pro

gressivo land tax, because a man with 1,000 acres of bad land would be ruined, while another with 1,000 acres of good land would scarcely feel it. He would strongly sup port representation on the basis of popula tion.

In answer to Mr Jeune, the newly-elected member said he was not in favour of a law to tax native land until they had the right to Sell and lease their land, and exercise the same privileges as tho Europeans.

In reply to Mr Boardman he said he v ould like to see railways from Auckland to Napier, Wellington, and Taranaki.

The candidate said he wbuld retire at any time during his term to oflico if a moderate percentage of electors required it. The proceedings concluded with a voto of thanks to the Returning Officer;

MANUKAU.

The nomination for this constituency took place at 12 to-day at the KM. Court, One huaga. Mr VV. G. P. O'Callaghan.Kcturn ing Officer, presided. There were about 50 persons present. Mr J. B. Jackson, in a briet and pithy address, proposed Sir M. O'Rorke, and Mr Codhn, Mayor-elect, seconded. Mr O. C. McGee was proposed by Mr H. Robinson, aud seconded by Mr John Dore. Sir M. O'Rorke addressed the electors in a few words, and said he was prepared to meet Mr McGco atthcpolll in a gentlemanly manner, and hoped the latter would do the same. Mr McGee gave a most gushing peroration, whloh ouvaed an endless amount of fun. Webster's classical dictionary wa3 nis political standard. He said it was time tho fungus which had clung to the House of Represen tatives was cleared out, aud the country governed by natives. (Voice :We shall havo Maori chiefs yet.)

A show of hands was taken, aud resulted: SirM, O'Rorko 36 MrO. C. McGee 6 Poll was demanded by Mr 0. C. McGeo, who will address the electors on Saturday next.

A vote of thanks was accorded to tho Returning Officer.

CITY NORTH.

Tho nominations for this constituency took placo at the Temperance Hall, Albert street. The Returning Officer, Mr R. C. Rawltnson, commenced the proceedings by reading tho Election Writ and the regu lations relating to the cunduct of the meet ing; and thcu called upon the.mover and seconder of the first candidate-.

Mr W. G. Garrard was nominated by Mr W. J. Johnson, and seconded by Mr Geo. Akor.i, who jumped on to the platform liko a deua ex machina, and took tho place of the selected seconder.

Mr Thos. Peacock was nominated by Mr Robert Bartley, and seconded by Mr D. C. Dougall, the latter of whom described Mr Poacock as possessing the hall-mark as a working-man's candidate. Mr H. Raf ton had great pleasure in nomi nating Mr Thos. Thwaites, an honest man and a real working man. It was necessary that labour should be represented by men engaged in it, The Grey Central Com mittee wcre|political cowards—(uproar)—in that they put up a Groyita to oppose a Grcyitc, instead of contesting Newton. They were traitors to the cause (commotion). Mr Peacock was not fit to preresentthe dis trict, while Mr Bees was a land-jobber, and acting in opposition to the principles he professed, Mr Michael Cook seconded Mr Thwaites.

The mover of Mr W. L. Rees's candida ture was Mr D. Dunningham, and the seconder Mr A. M. Williams, neither of whom made any remarks. The candidates then addressed the meet* ing in tiie order of their nomination. Mr Garrard, who was dressed for tho occasion and bedecked with medal?, commenced amid cries of •' Cut it short," and proceeded to speak on the question of employment for "the aged men of the Province of New Zealand." A late member said they must trust to the employers, but they had done that too long, mid what Was wanted was an Act passed to compel Employers to sympathise with aged men. The aristoc racy down in Wellington would take the skin off their hided and send it up here to be made into hog-skin saddles. (Great laughter, and shouts of "Give it them.") They got sympathy from tho rich, but would sympathy pay house rent and settle bakers' and grocers' bills ? He had fanght for his Country and Wed for it. Mr Gar rard then went on to allude in mysterious terms and amidst great confusion, to a Mr 8., and a certain £300, and though he expressed his ability (0 "spout for 16 hours" (A voice: "Say 60"), he scarcely made his meaning evi dent. The speaker then promised to give his full opinion of the Native Question, and then attacked the Lottery Bill, some parts of which wanted " revealing." He was in favour of taxing, and not allowing the money to leave the country. The last por tion of Mr Garrard's oration was lost through the uproar and confusion at tho back of the hail.

Mr Peacock made a few observations, chiefly on the meaning of the term " work ing man." Mr Thwaites followed, and asked for the support of the working men. He said it lay with the working men themselves as to who should govern them, and whether capi talists and capital were any longer to rule.

Mr Bees then explained, in a vigorous speech, what weie his claims in support of a city constituency, and the reason why ho had come to opposo a Grcyite candidate. With regard to the first matter, he had once, absolutely by himself, obtained a vote of £50,000 for Auckland road boards and coun ties, a service for which he had never even been thanked. Kepljiog to the latter, ho stated that under party organisation it Was necessary to submit to orders, and the advico of friends. The inuendo of Mr Gar rard respecting the £300 was the subject of an elaborate explanation, from which it appeared that it was obtained by himself (Mr Ruck) as a retainer on behalf of natives Whose lands and grievances were to come before a proposed commission. Various land speculations and transactions were then alluded to, and the speaker resumed ills seat amid applause. The question was then put to Mr Kecs, "Had you to with draw your name from the East Coast Land Company in order to get it floated ?'' The reply was an emphatic denial. The show of hands resulted aa follows :— Garrard 9 Peacock 15 Thwaites 4 ! Kccs ... 40 to 50 A poll was then demanded for Mr Peacock and Mr Garrard. A vote of tnanks to the Returning Uflicor concluded the proceedings.

CITY EAST.

The nomination took place at n.oon in the KiM. Court, there being between two and three hundred persons present. Mr Thos. Cotter, Returning Officer, stated the pur port of the meeting, and read the clauses of the Regulation of Elections Act bearing upon the procedure, and the public notice issued by him in accordance with law, con cluding by calling on duly qualified electors to make nominations.

An awkward pause of over ten minutes took place hefore anyone spoke. Sir George Grey, i5..C.8., was then pro posed by Mr Edward Wright Page, and seconded by Mr Henry Keesing, as a fit and proper person to represent City East in the House of Representatives.

Mr James McCosh Clark was in Bimilar fashion proposed and seconded by Mr Walter McColl and Mr George Fraser respectively. Ho further nominations being made, Mr Cotter called on the candidates to give their views.

Sir George Grey thought that Mr Clark, aa the senior candidate by right of his former candidatures, was entitled to priority; but Mr Clark declined to speak first, and Sir George then ptoceeded to address the meeting by going over his views on the land question and other sub jects. He took credit for the Triennial Parliaments ,isill though it was passed by men who hated' what they did. As to his Bill tor abolishing distraint for rent, ho pointed out that the real effect of such a measure was to settle effects to the value of £50 upon a working man's wite and family ; and with regard to the question of expen diture he remindad his audience that juat expenditure was not extravagance. He defended his Law Practitioners Bill; and pointed out ai to his measure to allow affirmations instead of oaths, that Mr Gladstone was in favour of what he called "this great and beneficent measure." In concluding, Sir George Grey called upon the electors to show by their votes whether or not they approved of the way in which these large sections of land had been acquired. . Mr J. M. Clark, after explaining that he came to the front at the present time because he felt annoyed aud insulted at the action of the so-called Central Committee in bringing forward Sir George Grey, went on to give his views on some of the ques tions of the' day. He expressed himself determined to maintain our present educa tion system, and declared himself in favour of Triennial Parliaments, and of representa tion on the population basis. Thonsh an importer, he proclaimed himself a moderate

protectionist, for tho encouragement of local industries; ho was of opinion, with regard to the Chinese question, that there should be plenty ot work and good wages for everybody s and he disapproved of the direct eteam service between New Zealand and Great Britain. He had not much to say on local self-government, as no plan had been proposed } and all that was tangi ble was that there was a difficulty as to ways and means. He thought it would be unjust on tho part of the Govern ment to resumo the preemptive light of purchasing native lands, but was in favour of Government acting as agents in the sale between natives and buyers. Re ferring to the large ai'eas of laud in tho hands of private parties in tlip MidulO Island, Mr Clark declared that air Georgo Grey was more responsible for that state of things than ally member of the present Go< verh,ment, as many of the largest of those estates were, purchased ,urider Sir George Grey's regulations at 10a an acrei Jn describing one of these purchases at length; the speaker said that if anyono had acted in that way in Ireland he would have been nhot; and Sir uco. Grey, or, at ariyrate.Uis friends would haVo approved the act. [Sir George Grey promptly claimed the protec tion of the meeting from such an imputa tion, and Mr Clark, after considerable up roar, withdrew the objectionable phrase.] Mr Clark, after touching on several other topics, closed by hoping that the result of the election would be to cattse Sir George Groy to retire to the Kawau, whence it was a pity he had over emerged. (Cheers, hisses, and cries of "shame.") Mr Cotter having called for a show of hands on behalf of the respective candi dates declared tho result to be :—

i'or Sir George Grey, .. 19. Fo* Mr J. M. Clark, ... 45. The result was received with cheering. Mr Keesing and Mr Oiler demanded a poll on behalf of Sir George Grey, and Mr Cotter having announced the place, day, and hours of polling, the proceedings closedi

CITY WEST.

Tho nomination of Candidates for this constituency took place at St. Jame's Hall at noon today. Mr E, S. "Wilcocds Return ing Officer presided; Mr Nicholas Simms nominated Dr James Wallis. Mr John Volkncr seconded.

Mr F. J. Catr, nominated Mr Ji M. Dargaville, Mr Si Wright seconded. Mr C. B. King nominated Mr W. Laing. This was seconded by Mr McCulskcy. Mr H. J. Smith proposed Mr A. Fleming, and Mr G. McNab seconded;

As there were no other nominations, tho Returning Officer called on tho candidates to address the assemblage. Dr. Wnllisj in a Bhort speech, contended that he had stuck throughout to tbo princi pies on which ho had been elected five years ago, and he challenged tho Press or any man to show where ha had failed in his pledges or his principles. He claimed to bo a working man, and had given his whole time and energies to serve them. He was no rat, nor had he any connection with any clique or party. He had no axe to grind, and ho hoped that thoy would return him as thoir memben

Mr J. M. Dargaville said that ho would pass by in scorn some mean and petty allu sions that had been made with respect to bis Superintendent;}', candidature, and his action in regard to tho kauri gum tax. If the opponent who made use of them bad nothing better upon which to rest h;fl claims for their suffrages, he pitied him The speaker then went on to refer to the shameful treatment which the North, and particularly Auckland, had received in the past, and thought that we should insist upon having our rightful share of Public Works expenditure. Ho was in favour of a Land Tax rather than of a Property Tax, as the former would more effectually reach tho rich man than tho latter. He would advocate the protection of local industries, and if returned to Parliament would (Jealously Jigut the battles of the people, Mr Laiug announced himself as the people's candidate. Ho had come ont at their solicitation, and if elected, he would act as an honest man should. Ho thought that Dr. Wallis had committed a great mistake in throwing up his religious duties in order to enter the political arena. If re turned to Parliament he would vie his ut most endeavours to give his constituents satisfaction!

' Mr Fleming's speech was short, and to the point. He said that he bad risen from the position of a working man to that which he now occupied. He was proud of the honour tho citizens had donujhim by electing him to tho City Council, and if re turned to Parliament for City West he would unflinchingly do his duty and care fully look after their interests. Tho Returning Ollicor called for a show of hands. The following was the tainlt :— A. Fleming 12 J. M. Dargavillo 11 W. Laiug i 11 Dr. Wallis .;. ... ... 5 A poll was demanded by Dr. Wallis.

WAITEMATA.

The electors of Waitcmata met at the Devonport Hall, Mr Thos. Seaman, Re tnriiing Officer, presiding. Mr Alex. Wilson proposed and Mr Forg ham seconded Mr Win. John Hurst as a fit and proper person to represent the electors.

Mr K. M, Stark nominated Mr Ewea Aliaon. Mr Henry Pitt3 seconded this nomlna tion.

Mr Wi J. Hurst said that on a previous occasion he was a candidate for Waite rnata, but was dofcatod by a majority of four> He now considered himself per* fectly justified in coming forward. Attack had been made upon his private character, but not on his public actions. A gentle man in the hall had raken every opportunity of traducing his character, and had made statements only yesterday which, if repeated, would induce him to bring the matter bofore the public by means of a civil action. He considered the Education Act one of the greatest blessings yet given to the Coleny. He considered that the outlying districts of Wai temata had been sadly neglected, They had not had a fair share of cxpendi*re in the North. He was a true Liberal (not a Communist) and wonld support the present Government so long aa they acted as well in the future as they had done in the past. The native question deserved the attention of the public, and he hoped the present action of the Government would bring matters to a climax.—ln reply to Mr Tanner, Mr Hurst said that he did not pledge himself to vote for Sir George Grey in 1878, but to support the " Grey party," and he did so. He objected, however, to do that which was in itself wrong, acting on the principle " perish party, and serve the country." He was greatly|in favour of a railway from Waikato to Taranaki ex tendiDg due north. With reference to a question put re assessment of Mr Hurst's property at the Lake, the candidate said that was clearly a personal matter, and one which he did not feel called upon to answer. Mr Aliaon next addressed the meeting. He charged Mr Hurst with' claiming credit for several works which he had not done much towards, and with abusing Sir George Grey. In answer to Mr Lamb, he declared in favour of the present Ministry. He would support those who assisted the interests of the colony, but would not bind himself to follow any party. He was satisfied with what the Hall Ministry had done during their term of office—they had done much for ihe welfare and advancement of New Zealand. He re cognised the necessity for a re arranged system of Government, and would always support that which was the best for the colony at large, and his district in par ticular. A show of hands was then taken with the following result: — Hurst 29 Alison 25 Mr Alison demanded a poll.
