PRE-SESSIONAL POLITICS.

Mr Thompson in tho Temperance Hall,

Mr Thomas Thompson, M.H.R. for Auck land City North, addressed a meeting of the electors last night in the Albert-street Tem perance Hall. There was a fair attend ance.

I Mr J. P. King having been called to the chair, formally opened the proceedings by introducing the speaker of the evening. Mr Thompson said that according to cue- , torn he appeared on this occasion beforejthe electors to give an account of the events of last session from his own point of view. They were, of course, well acquainted with the circumstances under which the Atkin- ! son Government were unseated at the be ginning of last session, and the subse quent attempts at Cabinet-making. He personally favoured a coalition between Sir Geo. Grey and Major Atkinson, and he voted against the Stout-Vogel coalition, as it was not formed on party lines at all. Major Atkinson had told him that he was willing to stand aside in order to facilitate the formation of a Grey-Atkinson coalition, but the Major's supporters would not hear of it. That being the case, and the country being averse to a renewed lease of power to the Continuous Ministry, he voted against the new Atkinson Government. Seeing then no chance of securing a Government on purely party lines, he contented himself for the rest of the rcssion with giving a general support to the present Government. Ho saw no better prospect for_ this Bession of the formation of a Liberal Government, and it rested with the electors, when the opportunity again occurred, to take care to render this more feasible in future. One great difficulty in the way last session was the number of aspirants for office—no less than 40, he believed. He gave particular attention at the early part of tho Bession to tho question of route for the North Island trunk railway, and having been pledged along with the rest of the city members to the Stratford route, he did what he could to secure it The Stout- Vogel Government got the matter referred to a Committee, on the excuse that unless this were done the matter would have to bo shelved for another year. A South Island Committee was appointed at last to undertake the work, and upon the evidence adduced before them, he felt bound to say that they could como to no other decision than that which they arrived at. The Auckland members, however, were not satisfied, and at a meoting which was held they resolved to press for a division. Of courso they were beaten in it. The people should now press upon their members the necessity of not resting until a connection had been made with the Taranoki line at Stratford, and for himself, he pledged him self to do his utmost in that direction. The Auckland Chamber of Commerce had been a source of weakness to them last session, for after exhorting them by resolution to press for tho Stratford route, it suddenly wired to them in the midst of their labours to support the Central route, thus justifying the taunt of the Wellington people that " You Aucklanders do not know what you want." He was sorry that Sir Goorgo Grey's endeavour to limit the Property Tax was defeated in a thin House, as it would have been a Btop in the direction of the substitution of a Land Tax for it. He warmly supported tho Married Women's Property Protection Act, but he stoutly opposed the Public Reserves Bill, which proposed to give public bodios tho power of imposing on particular days a charge for admission to public reserves. He considered it an invasion of popular rights, and therefore voted against it. In answer to.his question, Mr Ballance had promised to give attention to the ques tion of unsatisfied military land grants. As for the Licensing and Education Acts, ho was as a Radical opposed to any material alteration of them. There were, however, three amendments in the Licensing Act which he would support, viz. : (1) The ex tension of the local option franchise to the voters on the electoral roll; (2) the fixing of the same hours of polling for the entire colony ; and (3) the allowance of the right of appeal. He was opposed, however, to the amalga mation of district. He very readily gavo his support to the Workman's Wages Liability Bill, and Ijelped in getting a, clause inserted giving the workmen priority of. claim to any money hold by their employer while their wages remained un paid. An attempt was made to give that priority to the people who supplied the material that was used up, but it did not succeed. Ho regretted greatly that the Abolition of Plurality of Votes Bill was lost by a majority of one, but he had no doubt that before long it would pass. As for Sir George Groy's Affirmation in Lieu of Oaths Bill, it was a step in the right direction, and deserved to pa.s. Ho assisted in getting the Timber Floatage Bill altered so as to afford greater protection to property owners on the banks of rivers. Ho supported Sir George Grey's 1 Elective Justices Bill, and, despite the arguments used against it, ho still held to bis opinion tbat it was a pity it did not pass. Ho should vote for it again if he had the opportunity. Ho would give a general support to the present Government during the ensuing session, reserving to himself the right to oppose any measure of which he did not approve. One of these would bo tho District Kailways Leasing and Purchas ing Bill, if it wero re-introduced. Last ses sion he fought against it tooth and nail, for ■ he looked upon It as an effort to relieve the shareholders of certain companies of an , obligation which they felt it irksome to fulfil. As the Government declined to separate the linos which the bill affected, he opposed it in toto,_ despite the fact that ho was twitted with opposing a line in which Auckland people were interested, viz., the Rotorua railway, the only one which had any claim to consideration. Tremendous influence was brought to bear for the purpose of securing its passage, and if the Upper House had never before any title to public grati tude, it earned one last session by throwing out the above bill. He voted against Sir Julius Vogel's South.. Sea bubble, which he regarded as visionary, but ho assisted in getting a vote passed to encourage a steam service between Auck land and tho Islands. Of the .other mea sures which did pass, one was the Govern ment Insurance Policy Bill, which offected the improvement of providing for the devo tion of a portion of the profits to the forma tion of a Guarantee Fund. He also ap proved of the establishment of Local Boards. As for the legislation of the future, he could not speak with any cer tainty, fortho Government had not divulged its intontions. There was talk, however, of some local government measures being brought down, and the Colonial Treasurer had proposed to summon a conference of County Council and Road Board Chairmen to decide upon the plau.' He wasglad that he had abandoned that intention,'for such a conference would not have been repre sentative enough. • The question of the federation of the Australian colonies was now engaging attention, and. he. approved of the stand takeu by the Goverpment in insisting that Alio Legislature of the colony should have the right of. discussing the Federal Councils Bill, and of deciding whether or not to accept its provisions,' As for himself,he would rather see a federation of tho Empire than a fedora-ion of the Aus tralian colonies. The matter of the de fences of thecolony would, no doubt, engage considerable attention from the House next session, and, no doubt, most people had been gratified by the alacrity shown by the Government itf carrying out those defences. Henever participated ii/tlielateliussinnscare forhedid not think there wasany probability of the Russians invading our harbours, and he was not at all satisfied that there wi s any necessity for such hasty expenditure, ItJ was necefsary, of course, that our harbours should be put in a state of de fence, but it should have been done gra dually. The late Government, of course, were to blamo for their neglect of this matter, but at tho same time he would have liked to have seen a more gradual ex penditure of the money, t n i lie felt assured that many of thoso who now thougLt differently from him would very quickly call out when they had to pay the piper. The gentloiran concluded by staling th.t in tho future, as in tho past, he would go his duty to tho best of his utility. In answer to gui stions, Mi- Thompson said:—(l) That he would favour a change in the mode of filling vacancies in tho Upper House, but he would not counsel. the abolition of that body,as last session he had been converted to the belief that it afforded a salutary check upon hasty legislation in the Lower House ; (2) that not being a lawyer, he could no. soy whether a common lawyer should be allowed to recover hia legal costs in a manner different from that open to other per sons; (3) that petitioners to the House should receive notice of the way in which their potitions had been disposed of; (4) that probably something would be done next session in respect of military lan 1 claims ; (5) that a tax of 75 per cent, on dried fruits was far too high; (6) that he was in favour of the present system of educa- i tion; (7) that he could not say why the Government House grounds were reserved for a few of the upper ten, instead of being open to the public; (8) that the Govern ment House grounds, so far as be knew,
