trusted the administration of his business to him (Mr Goldie) and another. In a few months he would hand it over to Mr Ansenne's children. (Applause.) Mr S. McCoskrie moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Goldie as a fit and proper person to represent City West. (Loud cheers). Mr Cobley seconded. Mr T. Graham (secretary of Mr Morrison's election committee) arose amid tremendous uproar to move an amendment. He waited about five minutes before he got a hearing. When silence was restored he moved as an amendment, " That the thanks of the meet ing should be accorded to Mr Goldie, but that it had no confidence in him. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr P. Gleeson rose to second the amend ment, and for five minutes failed to get a hearing. Mr Goldie then made appeal for order, which was successful. Mr Gleeson deprecated the introduction of religious feeling, and he accused Mr Goldie of having done more than any man in New Zealand to stir up religious ani mosity. (Cheers and counter cheers.) Mr Gleeson concluded by shaking hands with Mr Goldie. Lively Proceedings.

At this stage the hall was densely crowded, more than half the audience standing, and the clamour was deafen ing. Upon the propositions being put the reso lution was carried by a large majority amidst cheers and counter demonstrations. Mr Goldie came forward to express his acknowledgments, when a paper bag filled with flour was thrown from the audi ence and struck him on the legs, bespattering his trousers with its contents. Almost simultaneously, flour was also thrown about in the audience, and the feel in<rs of the different parties were wrought to such a pitch that a free fight appeared imminent. A scene of the greatest uproar prevailed, and one portion of the audience made a rush for the platform and surrounded Mr Goldie, whilst others flourished their sticks and umbrellas, and argued matters in a manner more for cible than pleasant in the centre of the hall. In the midst of the melee loud cheers were given for Mr Goldie, and this demonstration was met by hissing on the part of the opposing faction. Things event ually became so lively that the police were compelled to interfere, and one " obstruc tionist " was. run out of doors without cere mony. This had a most quieting effect upon the audience, and after according a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting broke up, giving three cheers for Mr Goldie. Proceedings had been so protracted that the clock then registered ten minutes to 11 p.m.

Mr J. A. Connell at Onehunga.

On Thursday night Mr J. A. Connell de livered an address at the Public Hall, Onehunga. The building was full, and the gallery presented quite an animated appearance from the number of ladies and Volunteers in uniform who were present.

Mr F. M. P. Brookfleld was voted to the chair, and briefly introduced Mr Connell, who was received with enthusiastic ap-

plause. Mr Connell began by thanking the meet ing for receiving him so kindly. He was not there at the request of the electors of Manukau, but merely to give an address in Onehunga, it being one of the many places he wished to speak at convenient to the electors of Eden district which bounded the Onehunga town boundary. He had been referred to as a stranger who had dropped from heaven, but he was no stranger to Onehunga,having been there in the early days (28 years ago), and it gave him great pleasure to speak in their town. An effort was being made by his opponents to prove that he was an Otago man, but he was originally one of the forty-acre Auckland men, and Auck land was the place he chose to come to above all others. He had lived in Auckland before for years, and at that time had engaged in a lot of work, as the colonial hands had to do. One of the first jobs he had in New Zealand was a contract at Drury; shortly after which he got into his own profession, that of a land surveyor. It was true he went down to Otago, but he did not think it was a crime to go away in search of better fortune. To show his sym pathy for Auckland, after having accom plished what he had gone to Otago for he came back to Auckland, in which place he intended to make a home for the rest of his life; and now, having placed his services at the disposal of the people of the _.orth Island, he thought it a cruel thing for some to say, " Oh, you are an Otago man." At the present time strong pressure was being brought to bear upon him from Otago to in duce him to stand for a constituency in that province, but he had now finally decided that under no circumstances would he do so. His reason was that he would be faith ful to the district in which he lived, and had decided either to represent a constituency in the North Island or none at all. He had strong convictions, and his first act was to issue a political programme containing four teen articles of faith.ltwas impossible to deal with all these in a single evening, so he had chosen a few upon which there was much difference of opinion. Much as he coveted a seat in the House of Parliament, that was not his first object. His first object was to speak the truth with regard to New Zea land, and to influence public opinion in a sound direction. He would never go in to the Eden seat unless he went with his own self-respect.

Protection Duties. It was almost impossible to come to the question of land settlement without speak ing about protection. It had been said that unless a candidate was prepared to support a protective policy he would have no chance of getting into the House. Now he maintained that protective duties were an immense millstone which interested parties desired to hang round the necks of the free colonists of New Zealand. By referring to the papers distributed in the hall the positions of New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand would be seen. Free traders believed in facts and figures, and challenged inquiry into the effects of protection. An attempt had been made to blind the public by a series of articles which had appeared in the "Age," which articles were a tissue of misrepresentation. They had been thrown broadcast over New Zealand, but were easily refuted when the true statistics of the case were come to. Mr Connell then instituted a comparison between Victoria and New South Wales, dealing with the material prosperity, imports and exports, the use of machinery, telegrams, rate of wages, etc., between the two colonies, proving that everything was in favour of New South Wales. He said the opponents of free trade asserted that the prosperity of New South Wales was due to land sales and to loans, but such was not the case. Vic toria had the benefit over New South Wales of more than six millions of borrowed money, while at the present moment New South' Wales employed more men opera tives than Victoria. It was true there were more women working in the latter colony, but it was not a thing to be desired here that our women should be turned into beasts of burden. To show how remarkably true it. is that a pro tective policy brings in female labour we had in New Zealand over 17,000 engaged in free occupations, and out of that number there were only 327 women ; but in the other industries working under 15 per cent, protection there were 5,764 men employed, while there were 2,167 female operatives. It was said that a protective policy would find employment for working men vet in New South VY ales there were wore men working at manufactures at the

present time than in Victoria. It was better to cultivate the land, prosecute ruining and other industries for which the colony offered natural advantages, than for the population to be shut up in factories ; and those who wanted men shut up in these factories working at industries unable to stand on their own bottom were false to New Zealand, and he would oppose them to the utmost of his power.

Land Settlement Policy. A great many of them knew that the subject of the land policy of the colony was one in which he had taken a leading part for twenty years, and it had been affected more by himself than probably even by any Minister of the Crown who had had a seat in Parliament. In Otago there had been a larger amount of farm settlement since 1873 than probably in the rest of the colony put together, and the deferred pay ment system instituted by Donald Reid had been a great success. Some of his (Mr C.'s) enemies said he was one of those who wanted to lick the shoes of large land-owners, but there was no man living who would say that in Otago. He had laboured to pre serve the deferred payment system, and when it was imperilled in 1882 the man that came forward and insisted on proceedings being stopped was himself. He took up the petition of the deferred payment settlers. Sir George Grey came in with a bill which was totally unfitted for the ease. At that time the settlements were in danger, and because the settlers had fallen a little behind, the Minister was actually sending word to put them out. He (Mr Connell) proposed a system which the Minister would not look at, but before he had been a fortnight in Wellington he was compelled to adopt it. If one man by energy and strong conviction could achieve such a result when outside Parliament, surely if in Parliament he would have a very great influence. Village Settlement Scheme.

He thought this a very good scheme in its way if the right men could be got. No man was fit to put on the land of New Zealand unless he was thrifty. If men were taken who had nothing whatever—if they had been working men and not saved anything, he would not put such men on land of their own. The man he would assist must be able to work,and be one who would not dissipate the results of his work. The settler must have a positive stake in the success of the experiment. The present scheme of finding money and everything else for the unemployed was a fine thing for the man, but was it a fine thing for those who had to pay the money ? (Ap plause.) He never felt so humiliated with regard to the public affairs of New Zea land as when he read the speeches of Mr Lundon, who said that the Government was nowhere, that the House of Repre sentatives was nowhere, and that he (Mr Lundon) was everywhere. If ever he was in the House and in the Government he would see that money was spent in the proper way, and there would be no such thing as taking L 70,000 out of the pockets of the taxpayers without their being con sulted. This was a most dangerous pre cedent. In the present day Ministers would not be impeached, but they could be cast out of power, and there was nothing he so earnestly longed for as to meet those men face to face who have spent money without the consent of the people.

Retrenchment. There was a great deal of talk about re trenchment, and there was no one who more ardently desired to cut down the public ex penditure of the colony than himself. He did not make big promises, relying more upon acts and deeds, but he would keep this great object steadily in view. It was recognised, he thought, even in Auckland, that°he was a man of business capacity, but he had been told that in politic* he was going the wrong way to work. As a friend of his told him, " What you are telling them may be true, but it is not politic to say so." He replied that the seat for Eden was not his first object. Then his friend continued, " But you don't understand human na ture. Look at the joking you have in dulged in. The business men say it is wrong." Well, he fancied he knew human nature as well as his friend, and if he showed that he had a capacity for dealing with public affairs, and meant serious work in connection with retrenchment and the business of the country, they surely would not think the worse of him because he could crack a joke. The gentlemen who had to formulate a scheme of retrenchment were those we put on the Government benches, and the important part was this : We must have retrenchment,and a perman nent reduction of the public expenditure.He would not pledge himself to any particular form of retrenchment, but if a satisfactory scheme were not brought down, he would try and turn those in power off the benches. Speaking about the education vote, he said the education of the people was with him a primary thing. He would sooner see any institution of the country abol ished rather than our universities, because it is in times of trouble like what we are passing through that the men who have been traiued in our universi ties come forward and tell us the truth, and enable us to understand the real posi tion of affairs. It was possible for a single man of education united to natural capacity and energy to affect the whole of the elec tions of the colony. When he took into account the hard things he had felt it his duty sometimes to say, he felt that he was indebted to the intelligence of the people whom he addressed for the manner in which they had received him. If he had said as much in England, where there was more ignorance and less self-control, he would have been swept from the platform. We must never impair the efficiency of our national system of education, but the Edu cation Act was in some respects one of the most bungling pieces of legislation he had ever looked into, and there were certain re forms that were wanted badly. For instance, the education boards and school committees were able to interfere in a way calculated to endanger efficient education. Men were put upon school committees who were no more fit to exercise intelligence upon educa tional matters than to fly over the moon. The manner in which they sometimes insult and worry able teachers had frequently caused him great anxiety. It was the same with the educa tion boards. He had known some narrow minded men who could scarcely write their own names well, and to give such men con trol of our system was a great piece of folly. No one believed more in local government than he did. We must have men who understand all about our road districts and municipalities, and these men give us the result in their administration. But educa tion was a different matter; it was simply a fine piece of machinery, and the only thing wanted in our system was uniformity. If we had hi^h intelligence directing the Education Department, or if it were managed from a single point, it could be run beautifully. There ought to be a man in each provincial district familiar with the work, with one or two first-classmen to act as an advising boai-d. These could do the ordinary work with very great advantage in the matter of economy, whilst the Minister could be referred to on matters of importance. He was in favour of raising the school age in thickly-popu lated districts, and in very large towns it should be raised to seven years of age. By doing so we could relieve school buildings and a small proportion of the education vote for buildings might be thrown upon the pro perty in the district. It might not be known that the land revenue of New Zea land had totally disappeared, and the expenses of the Crown Lands and Survey Departments, and the administration of tho land had now got to suoh a pitch that they exceeded the revenue, With regard to the Native Administrafcipn Acfe Mr Stout and Mr Ballance went about the country

last year spouting what they had done; yet the only result Avas that the Act provided for a number of officials. That wretched thing which is a hopeless bungle, and which is distasteful to both Maori and European,..'as crowed over as a great piece of statesman ship ; and one of the first acts of the new party ought to be to do away with it. He did not think the Civil servants of New Zealand were over-paid, but the state of affairs in the colony was such that from the Governor down we must all submit to some hardships. Mr Connell spoke at consider able length about our dealings with the natives, and in conclusion said that confi dence or no confidence in the present Go vernment was really the main thing just now. If they had possessed a spark of common sense,they would never have acted as they did. He held strong views about the Government, and believed they had displayed more ignorance of sound princi ples than any other Government that had been in power in New Zealand. They were most incompetent, and had kept from hard work by trying to tickle the electors' ears and excite their imagina tion by bringing down their fine fancy legislation in the shape of bills such as the Woman's Suffrage Bill, Land Acquisi tion Bill, etc. There had been more abso lute corruption with them than he had ever heard of before. They had appealed to the selfishness of human nature, but if this was the way in which the colonist of New Zea land was to get into Parliament he would be ashamed of it. He would win his seat like an honest man, or he would have no seat at all.

A large number of questions were put and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting, the answers being invariably re ceived with applause. A hearty vote of thanks at the close of the meeting to the candidate for his able address was carried unanimously, not a single dissentient hand being held up for the contrary. Mr Con nell moved a vote of thanks to the chair, and the meeting terminated with a round of hearty cheers for Mr Connell. A large number of the leading electors and citizens, after the close of the proceedings, came up on the platform and warmly congratulated Mr Connell on his success.
