An other voice:" Take your carpet bag and drarout, old cock.") Mr Connell resumed : « AlLrfcht, oldnwn." He did not think they wonld treat an old colonial hand like that. (Cries of "Otago.") "I am a New Zea ■lander.ar." He had lived two years m Eden here, and he was amongst his fellow Siloklandmen. He was not going back to Otaffo'"He"intended to stay,here. (A VdcV: "tike Vogel, you're slippery.") They would not allow him to speak his own words. He did intend to speak about Sir ■Julius Vogel, but he could not do so if they tried much longer that unfor tunate voice of his. ?Now, let him pick them up at the old track where they left off. (A toice: "Let it rip.") It was about the woman' 3 suffrage. (Disturbance.) He would take them for two minutes behind tie scenes—into the mind of a tactician— and they would then see what woman suffrage was. He would take them inside his Drains. (A voice .: '.' Oh don't," and laughter.) He asked them, just to keep quiet, for ib was well worth looking into, (langhter and renewed disorder.) Avoice(to the chairman): "Now then, oldfollmoon."

I The Chairman appealed for order. Mr ConnelThad told them he was a young speaker (A voice: "He looks old enough"), and if they were not patient they would not get through till morning. (A voice : " His time'sjis own." Another voice: "We want that little story about Sir Julius Vogel." Loud uproar.) . Mi , Hay suggested that the, candidate should go on in spite of interruptions. ,'Mr.Coimell said he was obliged for the .suggestion,. but found it a very difficult thing to do. (Laughter.) He just wanted to.take them into the mind of a tac tician. (Uproar). He knew one thing. The 'colony, of New , Zealand had Bet her heart upon absolute retrench ment of public expenditure. (Hear, hear, and applause). It had made a deep impression upon his mind. He knew ■it.was the "mind of the people, and he knew; that if he was to be a practical politician, this was the sub ject of: all subjects to which he must devote hia attention. When ho came to look at the question he asked himself, " What is the.cause of all this?" He went into it. Hesawit in agreat many ways. He would M them one way, and the moment he saw it-he sat down with his pen in lila hand jo attack it and get it righted. While other menweremoaningaboutitand talking about it he determined to set to work. He said, - Ekttnyill,you get effective legislation or effective Government ? ,: .vnd his answer was lou can't have it unless you have order in tueHouse." When they looked at that Miament what did they find ? Absolute confusion! It was an absolute disgrace ;«ptm their public men. They put there 91 or 92 men who did not know one another— ■who did'- not know what parties they belonged to, and each of whom ora not. know what the others had promised their constituents. It was a com plete mass of utter confusion. What took c? .

(Laughter.) Sir Julius Vo^el '■■ins a man about whom he had very' stvpng opinion?. He had watched him very carefully in his public career. He had watched him like a cat watched a the greatest care. (Voice : "And 'ifhab have you made of him?") They nuKt come to the consideration of Sir Julias Vogel, of all men. They should fry an "- sco what was good in him lf> s well as his other acts. (Hear, Dp-) Well, lie had seen in Sir Julius Vogel a capacity for unlimited work—a? capacity for work that he had never seei equalled, and whatever his faults were Sir Julius Vogel had introduced into'the'colony of New Zealand an amount ol honest labour. (Uproar and hoots.) Sir Julius Vogel had also abilities that were equalled by no other man in New ZeaUnd. (Hoots and hisses.) Yes, he had, ; and ho had done most magni ficent service for New Zealand. (Hoots.) But for all that, he himself had watched him most »refully, and had decided that notwithstanding Sir Julius Vogel'e many abilities and P as t services, it would bo a pity if b' were returned to Parliament again fortiiey could do nothing with him. Sir Jiilinsjfogol W * lS a man that, if he got into Parliament, they could not rout him out. He admiief Sir Julius Vogel from the bottom of'Ms heart. (Uproar.) But at the same time, although, as he had already said, he admired him greatly, still, he would not lite to see him in the new Parlia ment. (Applause.) But Mas he to turn round upoi Sir Julius Vogel now that he ffl&S down, and forget all that he haddone in the past ? No ! lie was not eowardeiough for that, but he feared that lots of cowards about. (Laughter aid applause.) Donald Reed was one of tie finest men that ever lived. Donald Reed had suffered unmercifully from Sir Jnlus Vogel, and yet when Sir Julius Togel was going to Eng land he saidot him that while lie did not mean to% that Sir Julius Vogel had always done fie best for the colony, still he knew of no T nan who had done so much for the colopr as Sir Julius Vogel, and he did riot 'mink it fair for those who had been witt him when his power to de sert him thenJi He, for one, was not that style of man l(| turn upon Sir Julius Vogel when he was d«wn. He hoped that he had not the dastardcoward heart to desert a man when (Applause) and that, too, simply tetause Sir Julius Vogel was hounded dowtt,|y a lot of men who were iiot fit to'tiehis''libes. (Applause and laugh ter.) :| Sir Robert Stout. He also knew' Sir Robert Stout. There was not a matin New Zealand that knew him better. Hedid not think it advisable that Sir Roberbßtout should be out of the Parliament (apj&iuse), because he was un doubtedly thekjider of the Extreme Radi cals, thereforelfmust stand in the House as the leader of that party. Sir Robert Stout had great|ialities, but they did not command his tjflmiration. Sir Robert Stout had great'siilities for work, but his work was notofaisid that hadhis sympathy. He could tell tiim plainly that he was going into Parliament with the intention of putting a very big spoke into Sir Robert Stout's wheel. (laughter and applause.) A voice: You're mt there yet.

They need not fear, thtiqjjij that when it was they would find hinrrfeidy to speak about him with the same greqtfinnness and fairness as he had done aboufc|hers. (Laughter.) He told them franklyp plainly that his mind was not made upaboit Sir George Grey yet. He would tell thej§ this about him : He looked forward :| Sir George Grey being in a new parliament with feel ings of the veryv'p-eatest distrust.

(Interruptioiand "800-boo " from the back of the hM.

Ho was compelled, in honour to himself, to make this statement in case it should be thought that he in tended to influence certain arbitrators who were dealing with matterspolitical. Well, his leader was the best man Now Zealand ever producedfintemiptionand cries of "Name.") lie (Mr Conneli) had quietly walked along and noticed the political men, and this man lie believed was the finest man and the best man in New Zealand, and that man was Major Atkinson. (Ap plause and dissent.) He would toll thorn why he Mas attracted to him. (Hisses.) He was never introduced to him (a voice : "I suppose not," and laughter), but had seen him down and had seen him up (laughter), and had given him his hearty approval for more than ten years. (Inter ruption.) When the whole colony was running after Sir George Grey and Sir Robt. Stout, Major Atkinson was down, and nobody would say a good word for him. He (Mr Conneli) saw that there was no palaver about him and that he was a man of works, and he stuck to him. (Applause.) He saw him work, during the mess caused by Grey and Stout night after night and week after week and he found that he always worked straight. ("Oil! oh!") Major Atkinson was the finest man that ho knew for the colony of New Zealand ; he declared him as his leader, and intended to make him a very effective follower. There was an attempt made last session to rub Major Atkinson out, but like Sir Julius Vogel (interruption) lie could not be rubbed out. He told can didates that if they wanted truly to sup port the Liberal cause they must take for their leader Major Atkinson. (Applause and hissing.) Ho would never follow a man who had less capacity than himself. (A voice: "Now what about Hall?") Sir John Hall was not a man for power, Major Atkin son was the man for power. Ho (the speaker) would n.evov follow a meaner man than him selfandthathadnopowcrinhim (Laughter.) Ho did not want a man that he could not follow, but a man he could esteem. He believed there could bo ft deep and sincere sympathy between himself and Major Atkinson, and he intended fco support him. (Applause.) These were his sentiments, and ho intended to stick to thorn. Mr Conneli resumed his seat amidst applause and general merriment. The Chairman said as this was merely a preliminary canter on Mr Council's part, he did not propose to submit any questions to him. (Crius of " Oh," and strong dissent.) However, if any gentleman wished to ad dress any questions to Mr Conneli relative to the points raised that night, lie should be very glad to put them. (A voice :" He never raised any points, sir." Another voice: "He has stuck to chad.") Questions. In answer to a question, Mr Conneli said (1) That all the Ministers of the Crown, and every member of the Civil Service should submit to a 10 per cent, reduction of salary as a temporary expedient, and that the Governor should be approached and asked to consent likewise to a reduction of his own salary. A person here asked the candidate if he would support a Lund and income Tax in preference to a Property Tax. Mr Conneli : Well, gentlemen, my feel ings are these— Mr J. J. Hunter : Say " yea " or "no." Mr Conneli; I won't say " yes "or " no." Mr Hunter : Well, you can go and hang yourself. (Laughter and applause.) Mr Conneli : I positively refuse to an swer, " yea. or "nay" to any trap ques tions set for me by individual electors or by electoral cliques. 1 positively refuse to answer them. All , Hunter : Then we positively decline to return you as our member. (Loud ap plause.) Mr Conneli: Well, you can go and vote forTole until you are sick of it. Here ensued an indescribable hubbub, during which Mr Conneli wanted Mr Hunter to come forward and shake hands with him. Mr Council went on to say that he would jiot be bullied by any ignorant elector or any member of a political organisation. Mr T. 11. White - : Will you vote for a railway down to the cemetery? (Laugh ter. ) The question about the Land and Incomo Tax having been repeated. Mr Conneli said that his idea was this : Tho Property Tax at the present moment was in force, and tho whole machinery for its collection had been erected, so that for the present session at least it would, be inexpedient to do away with it on the score of economy. There fore his answer would be that lie was not in favour of doing away with it at the present time. (" A voice : " That will do ; that will put you out.") Question : If elected, would you be in favour of a protection duty on articles coming into the colony ? Mr Conneli (with great emphasis) : Certainly not! He would fight his very best so that the agriculturists of New Zealand should not have such a stone put round their necks. (A voice : " You wait till you go in, old man." Another voice, " You'll never see the inside of Parliament.") Mr Conneli : " Won't I though,? An old colonial hand can stand any amount of that. (A voice : " Oh, we're all old colonial hands, but you've mistook us for new chums. , ') Question : " Are you a free trader?" Mr Conneli, in re2jly, said that he would never sanction an increase on any protective duty. But still, if tho leaders of his party were of opinion that a small increase of particular duties was desirable, he would bo prepared to give way, In answer to other questions Mr Conneli said (1) that he was not in favour of reducing the members' honorarium to LIOO per annum, but he would subject these to the 10 per cent, reduction. (2) That ho could not say whether he would vote for the abolition of Bellamy's, as he knew nothing about it, but he could tell them that he was a total abstainer and a bluo ribbon man, and therefore Bellamy's could hold out no at tractions for him. The next question was " What are your views upon the Education Act ? (Hear ! Hear ! and a voice, " that's what's the matter.") Mr Conneli said that his views were these: First, that the school nge should be raised toseven years. (Cries of "No! no.") Secondly, That the Education Boards, which he thought were a piece of nonsense, should be swept away. (Hear, hear.) Thirdly, that he declared with Sir Robert Stout, that if there was one thing in his life which he ardently supported it was our system of primary education, our secondary education and our University education most of all. (A voice : " That's not the question, Conneli.") Well put it more plainly. Mr W. Hodge in thundering tones: "Are you in favour of the Bible being read in the schools ?" (Loud applause.) Mr Conneli: "I am most emphatically (determined uproar, hooting and yelling Mr Conneli: " I tell you that we shall have the Bible in the schools." Cries of "No ! No !" and a voice : " We'll keep it free and secular." Mr Conneli: " I have never yet made up my mind, and known God to be with me, and then given in. I am determined to have the Bible in the schools. (Tremen dous uproar.) A voice : Are you in favour of reducing the number of members to 50 ? Mr Conneli : Certainly not. A voice : That'll do. Sit down. Don't say any more. Mr Conneli: What's the use of an ignor ant man like you talking about tilings you don't understand? This caused considerable uproar. When order was again restored, Mr Con neli answered tho foliowins; questions : —

A voice: What about village settle ments ? Mr Connell: With regard to vil lage settlement he held it to be unconstitional, and therefore wrong. But he intended to take up the question fully at another time ; also deal ing with the unemployed, and that was what he meant in his letter to Sir George Grey, which no doubt they had seen but could not understand. He hoped yet to address a crowded meeting upon this important question. He was totally opposed to the unauthorised expenditure of public money for the pur poses of putting a lot of sham settlers on the land. Still he believed in settling the land. Hs might tell them that he had done more for the agricultural community of New Zealand than any man living in it, with the exception of Mr Donald. Reid. (This announcement was received with roars of laughtor.) Are you in favour of Chinese immigra tion ? Certainly not. Are yon in favour of reducing the number of members ? Not below eighty. Would you favour an elective Upper HOIIHO ? His views had already been published ; they could read them for themselves. . (Laughtor and cries of'" Stand still." " Answer tho questions." " Have you had enough of the Eden electorato yet?") Mr Connell said that if they did not like his answer, ho could not help it, that was all they would get. What about imperial Federation ? I have not thought about it enough to say anything at present. Aro you in favour of granting pensions to retired civil servants. " No." (Loud and prolonged applause.) As there wore no moro questions, Mr F. G. Ewington then came forward amidst loud cheers and some few hisses. He proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Council for his interesting and instructive address, ile thought that under very unfavourable circumstances Mr Connell had told them somo things that were well worth remem bering. Ho had come there that evening certainly not prejudiced in favour of Mr Council, but ho thought that they would all do well to think of what lie had said. Jle had told thorn about tin; sacred trust which they had in their vote. It meant that if they exercised their powers aright they would bo better. They were too apt to treat this electioneering as a good joke. Ml , Connull hud also pointed out the neces sity for sending down their best men to Wellington. (A voice : " Why don't you come out '!") Mr Connell had also pointed out the neces sity of sending men to Wellington with force at their back. Thoy had seen the evil of not doing that in tho past, for had tho Auckland lnombers not been di vided in past years things would not now have been in such a bad condition at present. They must see to it that the men they returned to Parliament now were men of worth who would do what was right. Were ho to go to Parlia ment ho would be prepared to act like the Homo Rulers in the old country, and stonewall tho Government, until they got retrenchment. (Applause). He would like to point out to them that tho Government had got into such a con dition that they had been compelled to help themselves from tho Savings Bank by using the hard-earned money of the people, and replacing it by deficiency bills. He had much pleasure in moving the vote of thanks. A gentleman on the platform here asked Mr Ewington to add "and confidence" to his motion, but ho declined, saying that he would not care to do so until he knew more about Mr Connell. Mr Neylan then attempted to address the meeting when tho uproar re-commenced, and he could not get a hearing. Mr Cherry seconded the motion, which was then carried with applause. Three cheers were called for tho Chairman, also threo for Sir George Grey, both of which were enthusiastically respon ded to, after which Mr Connell simply re turned thanks, and the meeting concluded.

Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some tinio now to drop you a lino about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you aro awaro I have suffered cousidcrably from iiij ury to tho stomach from tea-fcisting, and having consulted my medical adviser, ho strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I havo taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may hero say tho Oatmoal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on tho surface of tho body. From this I was glad to get away, and at onco took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of tho irregularities com plained of abovo, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article. —Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD, Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb, Sir,— Wo havo now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmoal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridgo Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habons, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in tho school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. Ho was weakly, and refused every food preparation that could be got, but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy him but this porridge. , Fivo or six times a day is not too much for him, and seeing it being propared cried until he got it. He is now strong and. healthy, and can cat anything. "Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) "W. CARDER, Orphan Homo, Pamell, May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meal, having used it for some time. The children all like the Patent Porridge Meal better than anything they have had before. We thank you for supplying a long-felt want—a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all the most valuable properties of the wheat.—l am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) E. NEARY, Matron.
