CITY WEST NOMINATION.

Oim report of Uio proceedings at City West nomination yesterday being necessarily condensed, we give an extended report of tlio proceedings to-day : —

Mr DAitriAviM-E stated that his remarks would bo brief; ho should endeavour to say nothing ill-natured about anybody or anything. (Cheers.) He was not in tho habit, although many of his friends sup posed he was, of attacking people until he was first attacked either openly or secretly. (Cheeiu) He never retaliated secretly, but when ho found that his fair fame or good name was being undermined by individuals for their own purposes he attacked them openly, and those gentlemen whose names ho had mentioned on that platform recently could take that to themselves. (Cheer*.) So far, however, us Mr Swanson, his oppo nent, was oonoorned, ho was not going to speak one disrespectful word of him. He was not endeavouring to keep Mr Swanson out of I'arliament; it was Mr Swanson who was endeavouring to keep him (Mr Darga ville) out of Parliament. (Cheers.) Threo years a"o ho had the honour of addressing them in that hall. What had ho dor c since then to lose their confidence or support"; ("Nothing.") Had any one of his oppo nents pointed to an act of his, or a vot«, or a speech in tho House or out of the House, which would justify them in saying, "Mr Dargavillo has not been faithful to you? lie challenged them to do so. Had either of tho daily papers, both of which, ho believed, disapproved of him—thoy said that ho had many excellent points, but that Mr Swanson had many better—had either of them pointed to a single act, vote, or Hpeech of his in the Uouso which should forfeit him tho conlidonco which the elec tors were good enough to ropose in him throo years ago? ("No.") Why, then, was ho opposed ? Ho paused for a roply. Xone ! Then nono had he oflbnded. (Mr Dargaville's dramatic manner caused great laughter.) (A voice : " You have oflbmlod tho Bank of New Zealand.") Ho had taken a stand in tho House which ho believed had made for him many and powerful enemies. Ho believed that, and ho also believed that tlicso wore the gontlemon who wore chiefly i instrumental in dragging MrS^aneon, re luctantly on luh part, to oppose him (Mr Dargavillo) in this election. (Cheers.) He believed that Mr Swanson was man enough to tell them that ho had been induced against his inclinations to enter upon this contest, and he believed that if Mr Swanson told them tho whole truth, ho would say that he would bo glad if ho woro well out of it just now. ("No," "no,"nnd cheers.) Three years ago ho (Mr Dargaville) was asked what he was, and if ho would follow this leader or that. Ho told them then that he refused to name any man as his leader becauso—although, perhaps, they might hesitate to bike his word for it— ho declined to enter Parliament as the creaturo of any man, however great or popu lar ho might bo. Ho had declined to give any pledges for the purpose of securing their support then, and he did so still. They must take him on his merits. They took him then, and what had ho dono to loso their support? Ho had a record of threo years, to which ho referred them, to hco whether, lie had been a man who had boon bought by the party in power. He war ambitious, and hoped fiomo day to occupy a better position in the House than that of a private member, and where ho might boof morcsenico to his constituents ; but he would never accept such a position at tho price of deserting either his parly or his principles. (Cheers.) In conclusion, ho *aid ho oxpeotcd tho electors of City West not to abandon him or sacrilico him to the powers that bo in Auckland, and who, if thoy could, would allow none oxce.pt those who would be their own subservient fol lowers to enter the Parliament of the country. (Cheer.-.) Mr Swanson then came forward, itnd was received with cheers and hisses. He said tho gentleman who had seconded Mr Dargavillo's nomination had made an allusion to his stick. They knew what that meant. Hut those who knew him would admit that he was terribly provoked. However, he would say this for Mr Darga villo, that if ho (Mr Swanson) forgot for tho moment that he was lame, Mr Darga villo had not. A good deal had been said about his having deserted his party. In answer to that ho could only say that he vent to the House of Assembly as frco a man as ever breathed. (Cheers.) His party was the people, and ho was the slave of no man. (Kcnowed cheors.) Ho had statel then that he would follow Sir George Crey for tho purposo of getting manhood sulTrago, triennial parliaments, and an in come tax. Ho (Mr Swanson) had failed in tho latter, but he had got tho two former: (Uproar). Who got manhood suffrage? (A Voice : "Sir George Grey.") Did he ! He talked about it. He (Mr Swanson) got it. (Laughtor.) Tho same with triennial par liaments. Ho had pot them for the people. Talk about manhood suffrage ! Thoro was a bill brought in when Sir George Gray was in power. An amendment was added to it giving two votes to each Maori. He could not for the lifo of him see that tho Maori bliouUl havo two votes, and tho pakoha only ono. Tho party carried it, however. When tho bill reached the Upper House thoy struck out the amend ment. On its returning again to tho Lower House, the bill was chucked into tho wasto papei basket. Ho then went to Sir Geortre (Jroy and remonstrated with him on the abandonment of the measure because tho

Upper House would not give the Maoris two votes, and said to him, " What about tho thousands of down-trodden white serfs that you talk about 1" He was told that he (Sir George) know best, but he could not see that. (Uproar.) He went dawn to Wellington to see provincialism restored, the Hinemoa and Stella sold, the Ministerial residenco sold, the cost of the Civil Sorvico reducod, peoplo put upon tho land, and the power of the Legislative Council reduced, and many other things. Had ono of them been done ? ("No.") Ho said then that ho

would not havo boon a man, or true to them, if ho had mlsacd tho chanco of bringing about what he had gono to do, and which lie claimed he had done. Something had boon Btiid about his candidature being an insult to tho working men. He did not know whether tho gontleraan who had spoken in that fashion had been long in the colony, but he ventured to say there were somo men in that crowd that ho had worked for, certainly some whom ho had worked with, and others who had worked for him. When ho employed men ho was his own foroman, and eaid to them, "Come and do this," not "Uo and do that." His men were well paid. The four-and-sixpenny men would not do for him. Something had

been Baid about monetary institutions. Ho ventured to say ha was much more free of monetary institutions than Mr Darga villo was. Thoro was not a man in Auck land who could say that ho owed him a shilling. Mr Swanson then referred to his efforts on behalf of local industries, and to the circumstances which had led to his leaving Newton and contesting City West. His object was cortainly to keep Mr Dargavillo out of Parliament, and if ho succeeded in doing that ho would consider himself vory lucky. There was one thing in his (Mr Swanson's) favour—if he went to Wellington as their member he would go free from bias. Mr Dargavillo had tolu them that ho wanted a seat upon the Ministerial benches. (Cheers.) If a man had got that in his eye lie was douced likely to be biased in the lino of aotion that would taad him to it. (Cheers.) That did not apply to him, as they all know. Mr Dargaville, although ho had boasted that his. vote could not be bought, was quite capable of doing a good stroke for himself, and was not above buying a few votes when ho could got them. Onco ho was trying to buy a wholo crowd with tho llotorua railway. If ho could not soil his vote ho was not above buying tho article. (Applause. "Whatabout that compact of tho ' rat' f) '('hat gentle man could see it if ho called at his house. Don't lot them think he was ashamed of it. Mr Swanson then explained his conduct on that occasion. Whon it was seen tlmt tho Ministry of that day might bo defoatcd, it was also seen that Sir George Grey would be loft out of tho now Government. Tho Auck land men looked to him as a leader, and ho (Mr Swanson) took upon himself to go to him, and say "Sir George, how is it you are to bo loft out ?" Sir George repliod that he was rejected and scorned. He (Mr Swanson) asked why ho could not bo Native Minister, seeing that ho was veil known to tho Maoris, spoko thoir languago, and had always been looked upon by thorn asagimt chiof. Sir Georgo replied: "Slieohan wants that." But, said he (Mr Swanson), "lie would surely givo way for you," and Sir Georgo said: "Mr Shoehan has told mo that ho has followed me too long to his loss." (Hisses and choors.) It was very likely that that was unpalatable ti some of them, but it must bo now at all events to most of them, and had the additional merit of being true. At that time Sir Geo. Grey consonted, as ho understood, to act as Native Minister, and subsequently ho (Mr Swanson) went to Mr Montgomery and sug gestod such a course, and that gentleman said it was impossible, as if Sir George Grey wore admitted into the Cabinet he would practically be Prime Minister, and that he was a man they could not dismiss. He felt that was true, and that he would bo a ruling force in any Cabinet. He could not be ex pected to take a back seat. Then there was

some talk about the leader (Mr Macandrew) resigning. He (Mr Swanson) went to Sir George Grey, and ho said it was perfectly trno, and that he had resigned in a moment of despondency, but he would go and talk to him. Well, then, when he found that that was the state of things, and that their leaders disagreed and were liable to fits of despondency, he was off. The only mistake he made was in not having communicated with Mr Macandrew, -who was the then leader of the Opposition. His reason for sii pporting the present Government was that they had done, and were doing, many things that Auckland required, and which the other Government had not done. (Cheers.) Ho condemned the no-confidence motion as tending to jeopardise tho interests of Auck land, as a number of important local measures were then pending, besides the trunk railway and other matters. During Mr Swanson's speech, which was delivered amidst frequent interruptions, and which wa3 brought to a premature conclusion by the uproar of Mr Dargaville's supporters, Mr McMaster handed him a slip of paper, and asked him to read it out to the audience, Mr Swanson said he had no objection, and then announced that Sir George Grey had been returned unopposed for City Bast.

HAYDN'S IMPERIAL MASS AT ST. BENEDICT'S.

Si'EWAi, services were hold on Sunday at St. Benedict's Church, the occasion being that of the feast of its tutelary saint. Exceptional interest was imparted to the 11 o'clock Mass by tho fact that several members of tho Opera Company had promised to assist in the performance of Haydn's Third or Imperial mass, and that in addition Mr Knight Aston, tho loading tenor, would sing the "Cujus Animam" from Rossini's " Stabat Mator." Tho largo building was crowded by people of all denominations, and theporformance of the musical portion of theservicefarsurpaßsed the expectations of tho visitors. Mr Knox, tho conductor, was tho principal bass, and he sang tho "Qui Tollis " in a very effective manner. Messrs Aston, Edwards, and L.Couplandwerethetenor.and they also were heard to decidod advaetagr. Mrs Hiscocks wasthe leadingcontralto, and Miss Staunton the loading soprano. The latter young lady is a great acquisition to the choir, and her singing was the most attrac tive feature of the "Mass." She has a voico of more than average compass and of very agreeable quality and timbre, and she reads both with facility and accuracy. The soprano solos in the " Incarnatus," " Rcsurrexit," and " Agnus Dei" were taken by her, and rendered with an ease, taste, and flexibiliry of voice that stamp her as second to no other amateur vocalist in Auckland. Mr Knight Aston sang the "Cujua Animam" with true devotional feeling, and in first-class style. His voice is beautifully clear and full in the upper register, while in the lower it has a rich and resonant baritone quality. It is understood that next Sunday he will sing another selection to a conet obligate by Mr Matthias. The sermon at the service to which wo have referred was preached by Father O'Gara, and proved to be an excellent review of St. Benedict's life and labours, whileFatherLenilian'sHnesym pathetic voice proved very effective in the singing of High Moss. At tho Vesper service the priest cele brant was the Very Rev.Father Walter Mac donnld, Fathers Downey and Vaggioli being assistant priests. The Rev. Father O'Gara delivered a sermon on tho Gospel of the day. The musical portion of the ser vice won most efficiently rendered. Zinga relli's " Laudato," solo and ohorus being given with great success. Tho solo was sung by Mr Edwards with admirable effect, and with his " O Salutaris" proved the musical feature of tho service. Miss Kelly (of tho Dunning Opera Company) sang with great taste Cherubim's " Aye Maria, " mid with Mr Knox, Rossi's "Tantum Ergo." Mr Knox conducted the whole of tho musical services of the day. To him is certainly duo great oredit for the highly successful manner in which he has organised St. Benedict's Choir. It will challenge comparison with any church choir in Auckland, and with any Roman Catholic choir in the colony. Miss Donovan is also an able organist. [This article was " crowded out " of our Monday's and Tuesday's iasuei?.]

NORTHERN OMNIBUS COM PANY.

An adjourned extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of this Company was held on Tuesday night in Mount Albert Public Hall, to consider motion for removing the present directors from office, and amendment to tho effect that the affairs of the Company bo wound up. There wore about GO present, great interest being taken in the proceedings. Mr W. L. Mitchell, Chair man of Directors, presided.

Mr C. Hesketh, tho moTer of tho amend ment, delivered a lengthy address, review ing adversely the management of the Com pany. Ho went throngh the directors' report neriatim, and denounced various statements therein contained as direct falsehoods. The directors had dono nothing but wrangle since he had joined them, and the object of a section was to get rid of Mr Bollard. He highly eulogised that gentleman, his remarks being received with loud applause. He condemned the directors for appointing a new mana ger in room of Mr Bollard while there was a vacancy in the directorate, and in face of a motion to remove them from office. He denounced as false the allegations against Mr Bollard that he had given preference to one firm in ordering grain and paying highest market rates, that no had over-fed the horses, and that he had kept too many horses for the sake of getting payment for grazing them in his paddock. Thedirectors'reportclosedbyreoommending that on account of the " opposingfaotion," the Company should be voluntarily wound up, He next went through the balance sheet, which he declared understated the assots of the Company by about £300. In concluding he went through the transaction of buying out the shares of Messrs Buchanan and Mitchell at 10b per £, and some discus sion ensued on the subject, the apparent conclusion being that none of the parties were to blame.

The Chairman said his contention was that if he had sold his share; be would have "sold" the shareholders too.

Mr Smith caused some diversion at this juncture by declaring that anybody could buy out his shares at 25s per £, but not for a penny less. The business was roast flourishing, and they would stick to it. (Applause and laughter,)

Mr Wi Leys asked if Mr Randerson had been paid his first half-year's salary of £25, which ho had said he would not toko.

The Chairman : He was paid it. Mr Leys : Has he refunded it ? Tho Ghaimian: No; he was never asked.

Mr Leys: Why did the directors not ask him to do so? (Cheers.) He considered it an act of meanness to take this money, and he thought the sooner they got rid of Mr Kanderson the better.

Mr John Buchanan, in reply to various criticisms, soid that Mr Randerson had denied that he had promised to remit a half-year's salary, and the directors there fore wore in no way to blame for not call ing on him to refund it. He declared that Mr Hosketh was guilty of " unmitigated insolence " in his remarks about the Com pany's credit being bad. The Company had been a good milch cow to Air Hesketh, and therefore that gentleman wag anxious to keep it goingi though it was losing £40 per week, He declared that MrHeaketn'a speech was altogether misleading. Speaking as a business man, he declared that he did not like a non-paying concern, and the only proper course was to wind it up. Mr Bollard was an excellent man as a husband, a father, and a farmer, but as manager of a 'Bus Company he was a failure. (No.) The directors had sincerely desired to carry on the Company's business, but they had found it quito impossible. ~Mr W. Leys thought the best thing they could do was to form a new (iirectorutu. (Applause) They should give Mr Bollard another chance of rn.ak.ing the Company pay. (Cheers.) * . '-(.'lie Chairman made a vigorous reply to Mr Heeketh, in which he affirmed the correctness of the accounts, as certified by a public accountant, and challenged Mr HesUeth or any other man to dfspu'e their accuracy in a court of law. (Applause). It was a false position for any one to occupy who profited largely by the Com pany to argue for its continnance while it was losing money. Mr Bollard, as the proposer of the motion, replied to the arguments. As to the charge of losing money, he pointed out that the new manager was drawing £10 less per week in fares than he had done. Ho disposed of the 'accusations that ho kept too many horses in paddock. He alleged that the directors had tried to pre vent this moetingfboing heldjby endeavour ing to engage the hall; they were afraid to face the poople of the district. (Applause.) Ho said the accounts wore

"cooked" in a way to induce them to wind up tho Company. The origin of Mr Buchanan's opposition to him lay in his (Mr Bollard's) advice to the directors not to purchase two acres of land from Mr Buchanan at threo times its value.

The motion and amendment were then put, when tho latter was rejected by 26 votes against 12. The motion, "That tho present directors be removed from office," was next put, when 35 voted in favour of it, and only 6 against it.

The result was received with cheering, in the midst of whicli Mr Smith shouted, " I'll not sell my shares for 80s now !"

Mr Buchanan demanded a poll amid great confusion and cries of "Half-crown proxies." An informal discussion took place as to the regularity of the demand, and after various negotiations it was agreed t« pur chase out the shares of tho old directors and dissatisfied shareholders at 10s per £—a number of gentlemen volunteering to buy them.

The meeting, which was noisy and pro tracted, broke up amid the utmost good feeling with cheers for the Chairman.

PAIN VANQUISHED,



Glenmore Road, Paddington. 14th January, 1884,



" Gentlemen,—Some few weeks since I was so severely affected with indigestion as to render my rising each morning a matter of difficulty and pain on account of severe pains in the back; and it had just become necessary for me to tuko a holiday from my work, for tho performance of which I was by no means fit, when a friend mentioned to me tho benefit he derived from the use of Hamburg Tea. In the hope of getting some relief, I used it myself, the result being that I was myself in threo or four days, and have not Buffered since. My friends have odriscd me to write this for the guidance ol .:lhere, and you are at liberty to make what use you ploaao of this. " Yours, "JOHN KELLY. " Messrs Elliott Bros., Sydney." HAMBURG TEA.

" Dear Sirs,—l feel it incumbent on my part to Inform you of the great benefit I have, re ceived from tho uso of St. Jacobs Oil. Some three ycara ago I injured my left leg and knee to that extent I thought I had become a per tnanont cripplo. My knee-nap was twice ita natural si/.0, and my leg wus so contracted and shortened that I could not walk withont con siderable pain and inconvenience. During that time I had tried remedies innumerable, but without receiving tho slightest benefit until I gave St. Jacobs Oil a. trinl, and, much to my delight and astonishment, I began to get better, and before the contents of tho bottle were halt used both my log and !cr.cc assumed their normal condition, and to-day I am entirely free from pain, and can walk as well as over I did in my life. I heartily recommend St. Jaoobs Oil to any one sud'iiiing from pain, and fool sutitilleil it has no equal for tho euro of chronic and contracted limbs.—l remain, dearSira.youri faithfully, C. C.
