(Continued from, Third Page.) run through properties held in great part by influential friends of his. He declared that the Premier ought to have told thorn where the railway was to go, and to have discussed tho question with them, and to have given them his reasons forit. [Avoico: " llo's too wily for that."] But he had vanished liko a conjuror (Laughter and applause) who had deceived his audience and turnod out tho lights, leaving them in total darkness. (Rcnewod laughter and applause). THE HAND QUESTION. Well then, again, whilst on this question of land, what had he told them further? That he was a Radical, and in favour of the nationalisation of the laud for the people ; that ho would allow no more land to bo sold in Now Zealand; no moro sale of pastoral lands. In effect no poor man might get sufficient land of his own to carry his 5,000 or 0,000 sheep—enough to support his family. These people who wore saturated with land -with thoir enormous areas of freehold—people whoao agents the Government were, and by whom they were kept in office, dared to place thig veto upon the free purchase of land, and in croase tho value of their own by tho fact that there was no moro land to be obtained in New Zealand. (Groans.) —[A voice : "It's all tho same to the Insurance Com pany."]— The Promior might bolicve all he said on this subject of land, but could they consider him apart from his party ? What were the opinions in his own breast to tho people ? They required a Premier who would endeavour to carry out his own opinions and principles. In his own heart, Major Atkinson was firmly attached to tho principles of denominational educa tion, but he sacrificed his footings to policy. Ho did not say ho would bring in a bill with the object of ondoavouring to secure tho adoption of his principles and make thorn law, but, on the contrary, crushed his feolings in order that ho might remain in oilice. On tho occasion of a rupturo, whon somo of his own friends joined the Government party, a compact was mado that tho present system of edu cation would not be dono away with. And yet they never had any intention to dostroy it. TUB LAND FOR THE I'KOPLE. Then, to -return to tho question of lands. Ho asked thorn to look at Australia, which was peopled from England, Ireland, and Scotland. Tho poople there had foracontury been compelled to pay taxes to defray the military convict expenditure. Conso- Suently ho considered that all the lands in io country should belong to the peoplo at large. Tho people of Great Britain, and lie might say of the Empire, had an equal right to those lands at the present time Now, whon federation and great public works were attracting so much attention, was a time above all other when hidden dealings in land should not be carried on without fair warning. A GIGANTIC LAND MONOPOLY. Only the othor day an Association which he believed was called tho Eucla Land Pastoral Association got a claim over 10,566,540 acres of land for a cortain number of years. None of those present could form any idea at onco what sixteen millions of land really meant. It was nearly as largo an area at the provincial districtof Auckland, from the North Capo to tho boundarios of Hawke't Bay. It was 25,800 and odd square miles. The othor day a map had been lout to him, and he found amongst the names upon it that theEarlof Carnarvon was set down for 04,000 acros. calculated tocarry 21,000 sheep. All England was rising at tho present moment against these largo holdings, and now the groftt people wore coming to Australia. We out horo were subject to the rule of a Colonial Department in England. This was a great Department, the aottons of which wore acknowledged in Parliament. At its head won the Permanent Undor-Secrc tary of State, under whose control wero all the other Under-Secre taries. He had the power of recom mending all governors, of writing de spatches, of snubbinghostiloprimeniimsters Ac. Yot ho found that the name of this Undersecretary, Sir R. W. Herbert, wa? down for 64,000 acres. This was an im portant question. There was a wido differ enco betweon parties hero and in England. Thoro wore those who favoured small hold ings, and others who strove for large ones. Thorefore, if the Secretary of State countenance to thoao things and identified himself with a party who were hostilo to the great body of Iho peoplo, if there was ouch a power which prevented thorn from managing their own institutions, then thoro was but one hopn left for tho peoplo at last, and that was the formation of one community untrammelled by tho inter forence of Great Britain, The other names on tho list to which ho had referred were : —Sir A. Stopnoy, 64,000 acres; Mr McKinnon, G4,000 j Mr J. R. Hall, acreage not stated; Sir Julius Vogol, 155,000 aores (Groans); Colonel Warde, 64,000 acres jA. Forrest and Company, 400,000 acros. But be believed that one of the partners in that firm was one of the original explorers of the country. But it was impossible for thorn to contend against great inmioncos like this without diffi culty, and he would point out that there was a party in the colony in favour of keep ing up largo holdings, THE DOOMSDAY BOOK, Major Atkinson told tkem a great deal about aDoomßday Book, but they had been waiting a long time for that book. He might tell them that when his Government went out of office, materials had been col lected. But the Premier took somo of the most Important information to himself. One thing which Major Atkinson had not told them! and whioh he knew, was that 250 persons in this colony owned ovor seves million acres of land. If no more land was gold, and if no poor man was to acquire a freehold, they must remember the enormous possessions of those 250 persons, and also who would be their slaves in a few years. -. T«E 71,000 FREEHOLDERS. There was another fact to which he wished to draw their attention. Major Atkinson had told them that we had 71,000 odd per sons who owned freeholds out of an adult malo population of 152,000, and tha of these 31,000 persons owned five acres ant upwards. He warned them that they were being led astray altogether on this point. When Major Atkinson said there wero 71,000 freeholders, he assumed that they all formed part of the adult male population; but ho forgot to mention the hundreds of freeholders amongst the children of wealthy parents who had been left orphans, and he said no thing about the freeholds held by un married ladies and by widows. If all these were added together, what would become of the auppoied working men who held free koldi ? They would dwjndle down to perfect insignificance. Those were all broad lines of party politic*. ; '•.''.■,." THE LABOUR QUESTION, And now he would go on to the question of labour—because who would have to work on thosolands ? He was told he was not to offend anybody, but ho might without doing so road a speech delivered in Parliament two or three sessions ago. It was proposed at the time to inundato the colony with Chinese labour, and they wore only saved from that evil by a chance majority of three. And still they were in a position of peril, because laws on tho subject opposed to the wishes of the people might bo passed by the Legislative Council, which was in office for life, and was not amenable to the voice of the people. Sir George thon proceeded to quote from a speech which he said had been delivered in the House on the (fhineso question. The quotation referred to tho Chinese being better educated than the lowest class of our own country. Referring to this sentiment, Sir George said some of the original set tlers in this country came out here unable either to read or write, and yet they in cluded some of the honestest men that he had ever come across. Anyone who had road Erskine May would have seen that education was dc signoclly kept from those people. They were taught obedience and'reverence fur those above them in station, but education was considered dangerous to them, and theywere prevented therefore from learn ing to read or write. Now, these peoplo were brought into competition with the Chinese, who were stated to be better educated. Further quotations wero made, and Sir George asked if it was fair to allow Chinese to como in so that stress might! be brought to bear upon the European population. Now ho thought there was a danger that until they got a change in the Legislative Council they would wake up some day and find them selves in an awkward position so far as Chinese labour was concerned.—[At this Btage there were frequent interruptions in a tone of voice peculiarly like that of a female. The Chairman called on the audi ence to preserve order, pointing out that it was not a female who was interrupting, but •omebody who had' been engaged to disturb the. meeting for obvious motives.]— Silence having been restored. Sir George proceeded to quote from the speech of another gentleman who, in Par liament, had compared the education of the Chinese with that of tho peoplo of pur own country, who were stated to be living in

barbarity in the wilds of England, Scotland, and Ireland. (Loud laughter). The quota tion proceeded to ask if tlioro was a dirtier breed on tho faco of the earth than Irishmen or Scotchmen. (Laughter, groans, uproar, nnderiosof "Name," but Sir Georgo Grey rofused to givo it). Tho speaker proceeded to point out that gentlemen who hold theßC sentiments hod votes, find the peoplo wero imperilled. Tho people who hold theeo viowa bolougod to a party which ho did nob belong to. At tho noxt general election they should put such men out. They could not put the Legislative Council out, but they should prevent their friends who held these views going into the House of Representatives. They should also sup port the law he proposed, so that when there was a difference between the two Houses a plebiscite of the people should be taken. Then ho would liko to see if tlioy could make a ■ law forcing coloured labour on the people of this colony. Tlioro wore serious discussions about tho proportion of Chinamen that might bo introduced. The Chinaman brought no wife, and fed, slept, and lived differently to the European. YVlmt, then, would become of the poor wliito if ho was brought into competit ion with these people ? They ought not to be liable to the risk of such a misfortune upon thcmsolves and their children as threatened them on the occasion of that Chinese debate. IMMIGRATION. ■ At the meeting on Monday night a ques tion was raised by somebody of ah import ant kind—" What about immigration?" — and tho Premier delivered himself of views of a most romarkablo nature, and they all sat mute, and applauded him at times. The Premier warned them of tho danger they would run if immigrants ceased to flow in, saying that if immigration ceased the country would get depopulated. (Applause.) Did he mean to say that with the crowds of children in our town 3, if immigrants ceased to flow in, our daughters would no longer seek husbands, our young men would seek no wives—that there would be no more love in the land, and that there would be no yearning for a sweet fireside? (Applause.) Was ever sucli nonsense talked before? (Laughter.) Why, the problem of the age was to check tho overgrowing tendency to over population. He was continually met with tho cry that he was assisting to over educato the peoplo, making the servant girls feel an inclination to learn music, and the young men to bo dissatistied with manual labour, but it was not so. They were rendered tho better equipped for the battle of life, and tho bettorpieparedtomakehappy homes. He reminded them of tho misery and wretched ncsa that had resulted in other countries from over-population. People had to herd together in unwholesome dwellings in large towns where rentals and living were dear, while the outside country, which was tho people's heritage, was locked up from them in the hands of a few who were living upon tho produce of their labour. It was this land which ho advised them to tax. Another result of a cessation of immigra tion, according to Major Atkinson, would bo falling wages, but where was the man who would believo that* Ho considered, too, that when it stopped the country would begin to depopulate, but ho (the speaker) knew of no such verb. Major Atkinson had further told them that there were millions of acres in tho colony to be cultivated. So there wero —200 gentlemen held aoven millions between them. (Ap plause). Then they had been exhorted to rise and fight for immigration. In other words, they were to light for more taxation, in order to bring out people hero to reduce tho value of their own labour. They were also told of tho virtues of assisted immigra tion. It was a noble thing to the honour of the Irish Americans that they should in a few years liavo sent homo £3,000,000 to their friends in Ireland in order to assist them to a better and happier land but tho people here were not to be"allowed to bring out their friends, but were compelled to pay towards tho cost of bringing out strangers who would pull down the price of labour. No, the true policy was to offer inducements through the ready acquisition of land for legitimate and independent' settlers from all lands to como hero and live amongst 'us. Such an inducement, coupled with our prospects and genial climate, would effect tho desired result, and we should have .settlors of tho rr,'ht clas*. (Applause.) THE DEFICIT ASP ITS ASSIGNED CACSE. The Premier had also enchained the minds of tho great men of the place with the plausible explanation that if the Go vernment had not saddled the revenue with tho £74,000 necessary for the maintenance of the Armed Constabulary there would have been no deficit, which just amounted to saying that if tho amount had continued to bo oharged to loan account instead of to tho revenue, there would have been no deficit. (Loud laughter.) Juggling with figures after this fashion, 1)0 had told thorn many other remarkable things equally fallacious. ADJUSTMENT OK FISCAL BURDENS. The annual interest upon our national debt was i'l, 300,000, and the mass of the people, who had derived little or no advantage from the loans it re presented, paid tho bulk of it, while the few who had enjoyed to the full its vast benefits escaped very slightly. The Premier now was determined to prevent tho Beandal which would result from private individuals acquiring lands in districts through which railways were laid, and it waa high time too, for in tho past his friends had secured enormous properties in tho districts in which it was known that railways wore to bo constructed. The people wero now solaced with the information that the ex penditure of those loans had furnished them with remunerative work ; but did tho peoplo reflect that a deduction had been mado from every day's wage in order to find the wherewithal to pay tho interest ? Every man, woman, and child in tie country was taxed to, tho extont of £3 per head for this purpose, so that a map with a wife and four children contributed of his poverty £'18 per annum to the pay ment of interest upon money which had been spent for the aggrandisement of ths rich, making them richer still. If a man gave £1 op lite per acre for his land, and bye; and-bye public works in the neighbourhood raised it to a value of £30 or so per acre, then we ought to get tho value thus given to tho land, the interest upon that, tha value of the improvements made hy the proprietor himsolf, and we ought to deduct this from the present value of the land caused by our public works. Tho difference between the two things was that which belonged to us— the people. Let tho Premier and hia friends try to confound the' people as they might with flimsy arguments such as they had hoard on Monday night, the peoplo should bear in mind that there was one thing which ought to be taxed—vi?i.> tho land which had bonefitod by the expenditure of those loans, tho interest of which we were now obliged to find. It was his business to tell them these plain truths, and ■ho should not go away happy that night unless ho did toll them, for, as their repre sentatire, it was his duty to fight their battles at all costs and hazards. It was necessary, too, so' that ho might under stand what course it was that they wished him to take. That courso ho would walk, though eyes might look n,sl-;auoo at him, and newspapers rail at him from end to end of tho colony. But ho had a few noble friends about him who sought neither place nor honour, whoao affection would nover be forgotten, and who had supported him through trials in a mannor which would never be' repaid, (Prolonged ap plause.) AVithout thorn very little would nave been done, With their aid he had been enabled to help and struggle for the people. They wore young men and could continue the fight, while he was old and feeble. Thoy had followed him with affec tion throughout his lifo, throwing aside all chances of offices, and for years they had, by his side, fought a hopeless battle to gain that which would benefit tho people, with out any apparent reward to aooruo for thein> selves, TIIE FUTURE. Thoy would loavo an imperishable name behind thorn, and others would take their place and continue tho fight, whon the difficulties whioh had beset their predeces sors should have been swept away The difficulties hitherto had boon groat, and thoy wero still great. He was sorry that even now a reign of terror por vaded the country. Tor instanoo, a poor railwayomployehad been diomissod tho service, and ho and his family thrown upon thesupportof tho charitable, simply because ho had darod to spoak to a representative of some injustice that he had sustained. They need not look to tho bulk of our newspapers » raise a protest and condemn the wrong doing. Were not.tho whole ormostof them in the hands of individuals of wealth ? Some of equal nobility to those friends ho' had. spoken of had fought their cause, a.cause which ho had not much longer to fight for. Throughout the country youths of high spirit weregrowing up, many among whom were destined to achieve a fame that would ring throughout"the world. They were even now preparing for their share in the struggle. Those who were now engaged in it would pass away and be forgotten.. [A voice: " Never" ani loud applause.] From our youth would spring up thosswho would break for ever the fetters that now bound tho limbs of the peoplo.

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS FOB OIVIL SERVICE. They had been told that in future no porson would bo admitted to the Civil Ser vico except through eompatitive examina tion, and that the futuro advancement of Sivil servants depended upon this kind of thing. This was what ho had advocated for years, both here and in tho South.' But did thoy believe that it would bo adhered to by tho present Government? There would bo no penalty for breaking it. .Every friend of a Minister would be shoved into office: without any examination at all. None would dare to question the action, or to bring it forward. Only recently an office of emolument in tho South which many Civil servants were entitled to was filled up by the appointment of one who had no claim upon the service, by ono who had bedaubed Ministers and the Government with loathsome and undeserved praise, and covered with abuse those who wore opposed to the Government. ' Tho speaker pro ceeded to point out that Civil servants should retire when the Government 'which' appointed them went out of office. FELLOW FEELING BETWEEN NORTH AN\D SOUTH. The speaker proceeded to say that amongst the masseH in the South there was no enmity towards the North. Thousands of people at mass meetings agreed that thoy would stand by tho people here, and declared that they would do them no wrong. The policy of a failing Government would be to set city against city, and they would trust for their support by declaring that they were working for this or that place, or that one place was jealous of another. They were so adroit that they might get support through playing off city against city, and district against district. He feared that it was working upon such a feeling that the Premier had striven to make capital and work a point with them the other night. [A voice: "No, no."] He hoped not. CONCLUSION. Thoy were there as people in search of a new empire. Most of them had come away from the old country from a feeling that thoy were not comfortable, or desired to do better where there were superior lands or prospects. He believed they had come away satisfied that they were coming to a place where there were no peer ages and no differences between the people. They were so to speak floating into a sea or ocean of civilisation, and paddling along in the Maori canoe, looking steadily ahead, unlike older nations, whose gaze was ever bent astern. They were deter mined to have nothing; to do with, thfi evils of previous civilisations, but felt themselves bound to fight for a civilisation which would free them from those evils which now pressod so heavily upon all Europe and drove people in such masses to this part of the world. Sir George sat down amid tremendous cheering, which lasted for some time. REPLIES TO QUESTIONS. In reply to questions, Sir George Obey said—(l) He believed people not on the roll, including females, ought to have a vote in tho eloction of Licensing Com mittees. (2) He thought*if an innocent man was arrested, whether with a wife or family or not, ho should be entitled to oom pensation. (3) In New Zealand a Minister could not be impeached, and he was not sure that any accusation made by a mem ber should be sent to a Court. The House had decided, despite his opposition, that a member of a Committee could not divulge what had taken place at a meeting until the case was closed. In the case in point, he thought the opinion of every member of the Committee should have been made known. (4) He was not altogether in favour of judges being put in for life. He thought the American system where judges, were only put in for a certain time was a good one. Then the salaries might be altered, but not as at present after the judges had been put in. (5) He had sup ported the idea that at a time of great de pression in Great Britain the British Government should arrange a proper system of emigration of the unemployed, making provision at the same time for their maintenance immediately after their arrival here. (0) He would not oppose a tax upon church property if the people desired it. (7) Respecting amalgamation of city con stituenccs, he considered that one of the chief causes of the present difficulty was that they had double the number of legis lators they should have. The first proposal to amalgamate city constituencies was made with the object of keeping him out of tho seat for Christ church. But he thought they should grasp the opportunity to get the whole o? the

oity constitueucies put .together. (8) He did not see why th{s change need inorease the costiq{ elections, and give tho .seats to tha Tfloneyed classes, (9) Ho did not think there was so great v chance of the personnel of the House being deteriorated by it as by a plurality of votes being exercised by the wealthier people. (10) He did not pro poso to get any alteration in the Education Act at present. (11) Major Atkinson's statement that no bills of importance hod been thrown out by tha Upper House after being passed by the House of Representatives was merely a matter of opinion as to what was an import ant bill. Over "and over again, when he introduced a bill, a friend had pointed out that unless he made amendments they would be thrown out. After the, amend ments were made the bills were thrown out by the Upper House. He believed that th« Legislative Council did reject import ant, bills. (12) He would not promise that, if called upon to take office, ho would take it. Under no ordinary circumstances ought he to take offioe unless ho was certain of such a, majority as to carry out what he desired. (13) The Mayor said this question was of such a nature as would, reflect no credit upon suoh a meeting to discuss, and therefore ho would not read it. (14) Replying to Sydney Taiwhanga,. Sir George said that it did not matter whether he became Premier or not, he would do his upmost to have the laws relating to ownership of Maori lands to be simpliified, and to leave the matters to be dealt with in a great measure by native oomwittees. (15) He was not aware of any body in New Zealand who had their children educated out of public en dowments. True, the Roman Catholics educated . their children by means of endowments granted by their own people, a thing which was to be com mended. (16) That in a perfect state of society the nationalisation of the land was the correct thing, but aa a perfect state of society was hopeless the best form of tenure was freehold, with a land-tax upon it, which answered all the purpose of a rental upon nationalised land. (17) That he approved o{ the form of nationalised land whioh was represented by municipal endowments, most of which, in New Zealand, by-the-way, he had been the means of obtaining Mr T. Gee then proposed, "That this meeting thanks Sir George Grey for his elo quent address, and desires, to express its thorough oonfldence in him as a representa tive of Auckland East." (Hear, hear, and loud cheers), He would not take up time by detailing the many good things whioh Sir George Grey had done for our city and colony ; but if there was one class mora than another that lay under a heavy dobt of obligation to Sir George Grey It was our young men, whose olaims he had enforced, whoso future ho has secured, and far whose benefit he had bequeathed this, city his invaluable library. He therefore' asked our young men to join with him m an earnest prayer that Sir George might bo long spared to lead and mould public1 opinion, and to exert the influence of a noble, and illustrious example. The resolution was seconded by Mr JOSEPH Craig, and carried with tremendous apolamation followed by three, lusty cheers. Mr D. H. MoK^nzie moved "That this meeting has undiminiahed trust in Sir George Grey as. the leader of the Liberal party." Mr John Lundon seconded the motion, but an attempt on hia part to revive his reminiscences of the Provincial Council' served but to provoke cries of "Cut it short," ending m a storm of interruption amidst whjoh the speakomsumed his seat1 The motion was then put and carried with enthusiastic cheers.

Mr T. B. Hill put it to the meeting whether the main trunk line of railway should be carried through the central routo or by the western route to Taranaki.

The meeting unanimously, and with great vigour, pronounced in favour of the western route to Taranaki.

Sir George Gbjey thanked the peo ple very heartily for their renewed expression of confidence in him. He had attempted .to do. hia duty faithfully by them, and ho would continue to do so. With regard to the question of the railway he believed that if he had remained in office, land for the railway would have been given by the natives in such quantities that it would have coat us nothing, the natives in return asking only a share in its manage ment, and part of the profits. It would by this time have been far advanced on the waytowards completion. Sir George then, in highly laudatory terms, proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was passed with cheers. ... i»™<«

» 'The' large assemblage then dissolved, after giving three or four hearty rounds of cheering for Sir George Grey.
