Mr Cairns had kept him out of a situation through a bottle of wine. He had also been dubbed a "scamp," which was too much for his sensitive nature.

Noticing that two Circulars lmvo boon issued In connection with th,p Election of tho licensing Committee for the Ppnsonby District, tho ono purporting to bo from tho Licensed Victuallers' Association, and tho other from tho Good Tern plars, the undersigned dosirc to state that thoy aro not nominated by either party, but solicit the votes Qf tho Elpotors (IB FREE and IN DEPENDENT CANDIDATES, who, unpledged to any party, aro propared to do their duty, if elected, without fear or favour, and in the best interests, of tho District. Tho Licensed Vic tuallers, however, who say thoy only want an equ.itablp administration of tho Licensing Aot, lmvo elected to support tho undersigned, and trust to their senso of fairness, in all that relates to them. It is well-known that no Committee has tho power to isauo now Licenses in the District (luring the ensuing year, and then this question will bo decided for tho following threo years, not by a Committoe, but by a poll of ratepayers, under the Local Option clauses of tho Licensing A".t; therefore, any pledge given that a Com raitteo would rcfuso to grant fresh Licenses during tho coming year would convey tho im pression that they hud power to grant or refuse, ftnd so would mislead electors. A circular issued in the District insinuates ' that Sunday trading hus beph permitted by tho S resent Licensing poniniittoo. In reply to this icy state that no instance of Sunday trading or misconduct on tho part of the present Llconspes , has bpen brought under tho notico of the present Committee in the manner provided by tho Licencing Act. or- in any pthor form, by any representative of any party whatever. Under tho present Committee the Licensing Act has been carried out creditably to Ponsonby: it is therefore hoped that "all advqcatCß of sobripty and good qrrtpr" will vote for EYANS, THOS.

T7l LECTORS OF PONSONBY LICENS- Hj IN.G PISTRICT,-Tho advertisempnt which appeared in the Star of yesterday in the. Interests of certain candidates for your support at the Licensing Committee election makes it necessary that the whole of the case, as between them and us, shall be laid bofore you. They assert: Ist. That wo are a " Publicans' Ticket." 2nd. That we are standing in tho in terests of 12 o'clock Licenses, Jpl. They insinuate that wo will grant fresh licenses in tho district 4th. That wo will allow Sun. day trading. And sth. That we will not act in tho interests of temporanco. Now, we denounce all these assertions ftpd Insinuations an falsehoods, and challenge them to arrange with us for a meeting before the electors in tno Ponsonby Hall on MONDAY EVENING, in ordor to give them an oppor. tunity of proving these enarges. Should they so arrange, tho meeting willne advertised m Monday's Star ; but should they not so arrange, they must stand convicted of making these statements without regard to truth to mis lead electors. We wifl act In tho interests of temperance, but will do so as.lndependcnt men responsible only to doctors, and not as the slaves of any association usurping the control of elections and showing by their intemperate statements their inoompetency for dealing with public businesa, and whose in temperance might imperil tho continuance of that largo measure of control over the liquor traffic which has been conceded to electors in the Licensing Act, Had wo consented to range ourselves wider tho control of tho association now opposed to us, we, no doubt, should have had to disagree with them on their unjustifiable method of ijghting out cause.
