THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

MR H. GARRATT AT NEWTON.

A number of the electors of Newton gathered last evening in St. George's Hall, Great North Road, for the purpose of fur ther listening to the views of Mr H. Garratt upon political matters. ill' Pricker presided. Without any prefatory remarks he called upon Mr Garratt' who on coming forward was received with applause. He said that he was in favour of lessening boy labour in the mills and factories. He said that he ap peared as one of the few unfortunate men who had scarcely a friend in the world. The Stab had said that he was a very good Councillor,but would not make a politician. Looking back through the dim vista oi years, he found that when he nrst stood for the City Council the press —which had almost the power to make or blast a man's success—said then that he could know nothing ot Council work. Now, after seven years, the press said hshad been a good Councillor, but could never make a politician. _ He thought that the press, possessing as it did such power—power that could almost make men writhe in torment—could aftord to be generous. (Applause.) If returned, as he believed he wouldbe, he would know that his support had been obtained from the elec tors, and not from the censors of the people. Mr G arratf then proceeded to speak upon the Driver appointment, producing Government, papers to show that his previous statements were correct. He repeated his objections to well-paid persons being pen sioned. During the last year the pension list had increased to the extent of £2,415, and that would continue until death re moved the pensioners. He would abolish pensions, giving those over age £100, which ■was surely enough for a Government pauper. He had never said that he would abolish the High Schools and Universities, but he had said that those who wished to use these institutions should pay for them. He con tended that primary education was su tier ing owing to the craze for higher education. If they wished to reduce the Governor's salary it must be done at once before the next Governor was appointed, for then they would be told that it was too late. If they got a worse Governor, well, at any rate, they would save the money. He ad mitted that he had previously worked hard for Mr Tole, and at that time he had be lieved in the man as a representative, but he did not believe in the Crown Minister as a re presentative. Mr Garratt said all he wanted was a fair show and fair criticism, which every man who sought the people's suffrages had a right to expect. He considered the Waste Lands Board a great abortion, and no credit to the Government. Why had Mr Pierce attended 33 meetings, for which he received £1 Is per meeting, besides £130 travelling expenses? Mr Garratt then re ferred to the fact that the children in the Kohimarama School cost £27 per head. There was another waste. The children should be reared at the same cost as those of the majority of the industrial classes. Children in private orphanages were kept at much less expense. Mr Garratt also touched upon re trenchment, the Speaker's salary, the Friendly Societies Act,andSir JuliusVogel's Financial Statement. He considered that the Government was trying to bluff or blind fold the people as to the true state of the colony. Mr Garratt concluded his re marks by reiterating his conviction that full protection was required in the colony. Mr Holloway moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mv Garratt as their represen tative for Newton.

Mr H. Moore seconded the motion, which was carried amid Sjpplsmse. A vote:of\Kanks to the' Chairman clossd the proceedings.

Mr Maxwell at Hamilton.

Mr D. Maxwell addressed the electors of Waipa in the Hamilton Court-house on Saturday evening. Mr Gelling filled the position of Chairman. Upon Mr Maxwell coining forward, he was greeted with cheers. He said he appeared before them as a working man, and he had felt it his duty to come forward in the interests of the working classes. He was not in a position to get addresses printed, but he would endeavour to speak as plainly as possible to them, and he had no fear of be ing misunderstood. (Hear, hear). He was quite independent himself, and did not in tend to be led by anyone. He had opinions of his own, which he would stick to. Speak ing of the land policy, ho thought they had a beautiful country, a splendid climate, and vast 'resources. The duty of the Govern ment should be one of equal rights as re garded the land. It was unfair to allow the land to go into the hands of landsharks. They should do away with middlemen. The opposition came from a class who had large tracts of land for merely money speculation. Touching upon the depression, he thought the high rates of interest were crushing the people down. As to retrenchment, the "roar" had brought him out. If the working men were reduced all classes would be affected. The working men should combine together to prevent any such reduction in their wages. All the class which he represented was to have a fair start. The Civil Service, he said, ■was like a huge boa* constrictor, which he ■would like to see quashed. He would begin at the top of the tree in cutting down, and if it was desirable, continue to the bottom. If it was necessary, the working classes would bear their share. (Hear, hear.) As to pensions, he did not believe in them. The Education Act was a good measure. He was in favour of education up to the Sixth Standard. After that the education of the children should be borne by their parents. He felt the oppression as regards the railway. He was in favour of reducing both freights and fares. He was opposed to State-aided emigration, but was in favour of Protection. At the conclusion of Mr Maxwell's speech he re sumed his seat amidst great cheering. After answering several questions a vote of confidence was carried unanimously. The usual compliment to the Chairman brought the proceedings to a close.

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE

The ordinary meeting was held last even- t ing. Present: Messrs W. Gome (presiding) Batty, Blades, McMaster, Ussher, Farrell, and Crowther.

Nai'lKß-street School.—The Committee appointed a deputation to meet the Board rt adoption of plans for new school in Nelson-street.

Natural History.—A letter from the Board stated that Professor Thomas had ottered to give a series ol natural history lessons at the Museum, to a number of pupils from the public schools, from3to4 p.m. on Thursdays. The Committee decided to suggest that the hour be fixed at from 4 to 4.30 p.m. Standards. —Mr W. Fidler intimated that standard examinations will be held on October 6th at Albert-street School, and at Wellesley-streeb School on October 18th.

Ihkkguxar Attendance.—Mr E. M. C. Harrison reported that on Wednesday, September 7th, the regulation for continu ance of school on web days was observed. During the fortnight the daily absence of pupils has been 120. The second week of this period, however, shows an improve ment of 17 daily. 536 written excuses have been received. Of these, 203 were on ac count of sickness. The others are of the usual character. A large proportion of the

irregular children belong to the Ponsonby district. Over these Mr Small has no juris diction. Some discussion arose on the latter statement, and a desire was expressed that the suburban school committees should co-operate with the city committee in deal ing with irregular attendees. Room.—Mr R, Mackay Fripp applied for a room two evenings per week in Wellesley sfcreet School for the instruction of young carpenters and others connected with the building trade.—Declined.

The Great Metropolitan Stakes.

(special message.)

Sydney, Tuesday.

The second day's racing in connection with the Australian Jockey Club's spring meeting was held to-day.' The weather was overcast and threatening during the afternoon, but no rain fell It is estimated that the attendance numbered 17,000. His Excellency the Governor and suite wete present. The attendance of visitors was larger than usual, especially from New Zea land. Cardigan's victory in the Metro politan Stakes was a good one for the book makers.

The betting at the post was:—4 to 1 against Phaon, 6 to 1 Spade Guinea, 7 to 1 Cardigan and Morok, 8 to 1 Upper Cut, 100 to 8 The Jewel and Kitawa, 100 to 5 First Chester, Pasha, and Acolyte, 100 to 4 Felon, 100 to 3 Dividend.

After several breaks away the field was de spatched on fairly equal terms with the ex ception of Kitawa, who was left at the post. At the start the colours of First Chester, Dividend, 'Fri3co, Pasha, and Phaon were most conspicuous, but at the sheds the first time round, Acolyte had command- of the Held, closely attended by Drake's pair, and soon after this Pasha s colours were in front, but not for long, as on sweeping past the stand for the first time, 'Frisco passed him, and Upper Cue ran up into third place, Spade Guinea, Phaon and Dividend bring ing up the rear. At the mile post Cardi gan was at the head of affairs, followed by Pasha and 'Frisco, who were a clear length ahead of First uhester, and he in turn was half a length away from Acolyte ; then fol lowed Morok and The Jewel, who were on even terms, and only a quarter of a length in the rear of Acolyte. At the back of the course Cardigan had increased his lead to a length and a-half from Pasha and 'Frisco, upon whom the remainder of the field were closing up. As the leaders approached the hill, Derritfc moved on Pasha, who took the lead, but had shortfy afterwards to give way to 'Frisco, Cardigan, and Dunlop. Brushing past the sheds the second time, Pasha again made his effort and looked all over a winner, but twenty|yards further hecollapsed and fell away. At the three furlongs post Cardigan had again assumed premier position, and he was followed by Acolyte, Morok, Pasha, Upper Cut, and Spade Guinea ; one}- after reaching the distance, post the race was all ovev, for Fielder had Cardigan well in hand, and. ifc was evident that ijothing'cGuld reach him, notwithstanding that Cook was riding Acolyte very hard. Both the New Zealand horses had shot their bolt a quarter of a mile from home. Passing the carriage paddock Cardigan had a clear load of two lengths, and, though Acolyte made another des perate effort to reach the Hawkesbury Handicap winner, the run piwed a hope less one, and the chestnut son of Golds brough passed the judge's stand a bare half-length in advance of Acolyte (the winner of the Metropolitan Stakes of two years past); Upper Cut was third ; two lengths off; then came Morok, Dunlop, 'Frisco, Spade Guinea, Phaon, and trje Jewel. Kitawa and Dividend were last. The time was 3min 38{sec.

POLICEMEN AND POLITICS.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Napier, this day. Another unwarrantable interference by the police occuredat Mr Ivess's meeting last night. A man in the pit called out " Give us your own views," when immediately two policemen warned him that they would turn him out if he made any further disturbance. The editor of the "Tele graph " was standing by, and said quickly, "You have a perfect right to sing out," when a policeman said, " I will turn you out too." The editor said, "I am not going to make any disturbance. The policeman said "Shut up, then.^ Later on the police were calling "hush" as people were walking in and out of the building, but no interference was taken with tffose who were applauding. The police are strangers to the town.

Later- The policeman who. interfered at Mr Ivess's meeting last night, acted against instructions. He had lately come from Ashburton, and, it is/supposed,, was per sonally acquainted wijih the candidate.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Hamilton, this day. The Cambridge Lawn Tennis Club will open the forthcoming season on Saturday^ October 25th, when it has been decided to have a match between the members dressed in fancy costume. A new court is being laid down, and between 90 and 100 members are on the roll. • The Ngaruawahia Dramatic Club will give an entertainment on Friday next. The pieces selected are " John Dobba " and "Box and Cox."

At the annual meeting of the Cambridge Cricket Club on Friday night, Mr J. An senne was appointed captain, and Mr M. Stubbing as deputy. AspecialmeetingoftheHamiltonßorough Council, to consider matters in connection with the public baths, was held in the Council Chambers on Monday night. After the three new members had taken their seats, the caretaker complained, that the west baths were too small, and offered £10 a year rental if they were increased in size. ItwastheopinionofthemajorityoftheCoun cil that the baths were large enough, and upon the motion of Cr. Knox the matter was postponed for 14 days. As to the removal of the east baths, Cr. Tippen said it was unjust and extravagant to do so. Cr. Knox thought that for public decency there should be a caretaker. The motion was carried—Crs. Tippen, Halrick, and Jones voting against it. Crs. Salmon and Missen were put on the Baths Committee. The quarterly inspection of the Te Awamutu Cavalry took place on Saturday evening, Captain Rutherford being the inspecting officer. The attendance was good. The men complained of the ammuni tion supplied to them from Auckland, which they said they were bound to dis card. It was decided to see into the matter.

Buggy Accident. Dr. Murch's horse bolted with the buggy near Moore's corner yesterday morning. Fortunately.the doctor jumped out before anything serious occurred. The horse made up Victoria-street and turned into the stable, and the vehicle came into contact with the door leading into the stable and was considerably damaged.

FOOTBALL TROUBLES.

(BY TKLEGBAFH. —OWN" CORRESPONDENT.)

WEtiiisrGTbsI,' this'cfay. Dissension lias arisen among the member g of Wellington Football Union, and it. is feared that that body will soon be a thing of the past. The trouble has come about in connection with' a proposal to send a junior representative team to Waira rapa. The matter was considered by the Management Committee, who .de cided that, a team should,, be sent, and that the arrangements should be left in the hands of the captains of the junior clubs. The captains met, a team was selected, and on Saturday last a match was played at Masterton, resulting in the defeat of the Wellington youths. A week ago E. Davy, Secretary of the Union, an erstwhile resi dent of Auckland, was presented with a requisition to at once call a meet ing of that body to consider the question of paying the expenses of the team about to be sent up to Wairarapa; but it is alleged that he purposely refrained from calling the delegates together until after the match so that the expenditure incurred by the players might not be sanctioned before they left. The meeting was held last night, and was very lively. As there are more junior clubs than senior in the Union, fche former were better repre sented than the latter, 13 junior delegates being present as against eight for the senior clubs.

Davy was attacked by the juniors x-ather violently, for not calling a meeting before the team left. The senior delegates, in cluding J. M. King and C P. Luckie, both ex-Aucklanders, stuck up for Davy and at times the discussion was very animated. The senior members of the Management Committee, who are also delegates, denied that it wag ever in tended that the team should be repre sentative of the Union, and one of the speakers said it was the height of impudence for the juniors to ask for travel ling expenses. One of the junior delegates asserted that the juniors were "sat upon," and the Chairman, considering the re mark was offensive, called upon him to withdraw it, which he did with great re luctance. The motion that expenses in curred by team should be paid was carried, juniors outvoting the seniors. The latter consider the resolution a direct slap in the face, and it is understood they will resign in a body. The final result will either be that the Union will fall through or that the juniors will be kicked out. In the. latter case a Junior Union will be formed.
