The schooner Gael resumed her voyage' to Lyttelton yesterday. The schooner Orpheus is daily expected to arrive at the Thames from Dunedin. The brigantine Magellan Cloud arrived from Brisbane at 11 a.m. to-day, after an uneventful passage of 15 days. ■ Owing to the late arrival of the s.s. Chelmsford, her sailing has been postponed until Monday, at 2 p.m. The brig Wild Wave took her departure last evening for Mercury Bay, where she is io load timber for Newcastle. The baxque Aurora left Melbourne on the 12th inst. for the Kaipara, where she is to load timber for the United Kingdom. The as. Orawaiti leaves Dunedin on Monday for Timaru, Oamaru, and the usual way ports, and should arrive here on the 3rd ultimo. The ship B^ngiiaki was berthed along side the Queenrsjire^tj Wharf to-day, and ■will commence loading for Lb'iidon at once. The direct steamer Aorangi took from this port 265 cases of cheese of" local manufac ture, shipped by Mr Alexander Harvey for London. The; schooner Waireka, which left this Sirt on Tuesday for Hokianga, put into ongonui yesterday owing: to the stormy weather experienced on the coast.

The following small coasters have arrived: Antelope, cutter, from Whangarei with oysters; Waiapu, barge, from Coroman del; Totara, barge, from Pakiri; Jane, .cutter, from Mahurangi with lime.

The steam tug Awhina returned to port ab 4 a.m. this morning: after towing the ship Hermione out of harbour. The tug cast off from the Hermione off the Channel Island at 8 p.m. last night, and the last seen of the shi£ showed her with all plain :sail set scudding before a spanking fair Trad.

We notice by the shipping registers that the barque Deny Castle, of whose wreck we received intelligence by cable on Thursday, vrasboundfrom Geelong to Falmouth, not from Falmouth to Geelong, as the cable stated: She left Geelong on the 12th of March, and was only nine days out from that port when she went ashore on Enderby Island. The Derry Castle was an iron barque of 1,317 tons register. She was built at Glasgow in 1883 by Dobie and Co. for F. Spaight and Sons, of Limerick, and was commanded by Captain J. Goffe.

ARRIVAL OF THE BELLINGER.

The s.s. Bellinger arrived in port last night at 12 o'clock from Newcastle, and at 8 o'clock this morning came alongside the wharf. The Bellinger left Newcastle at 3 p.m. last Saturday, and experienced moderate weather on the passage over. ,vith south easterly and southerly winds pre vailing. She arrived off the Three Kings at 8 p.m. on Thursday and passed Cape Brett/ at noon' yesterday; anchoring inside North Head at midnight. The Bellinger brings over 70 tons rice, 25 tons general cargo, and 60 tons coal. She i'a a steel , screw steamer ot 265 tons gross register, built at Paisley, in Renfrewshire, by J. McArthur and Co., in 1884. Her dimen- V siohs are length 125 feet, breadth 22 1-llth \feet, depth of hold 8 feet 5 inches. The pJeJlinger carries two compound direct act- inverted engines by W.' Kemp, of Glas gow, of 50 horse power, giving an average speed of 11 knots. She has two masts with the rie of a fore and aft schooner. She has a flush deck with a top gallant forecastle head, and a bridgo amidships, with two watches and two steam winches for the discharge of cargo. The Bellingerhassaloonaccommodation for 16 passengers. The cabin is situated in the after part of the vessel. She is owned by Mr B. B. Niceol, of Sydney, and is char tered by the Jubilee Steamship Company and is intended for either the Russell or Waitara trade. She is a splendid cargo boat, and will just suit, her draught being Bft 6in deep loaded. The Bellinger came over from j Newcastle under the command of Captain J. Benson, and he will retain charge with the first mate —Mr Cummins. The other appointments will be filled up as speedily as possible. The Bellinger is to undergo a thorough over haul and will commence running about the middle of next week. The flag of the Jubilee Company was hoisted on her to day—the first time it has floated over any •vessel.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, Tor the future in the distance, And the good that wo can do.

Fellow Electors, —On Monday next you will be required to record your votes in the several electoral districts. It is of the utmost importance to Auckland, and to yourselves as partici" pating in Auckland's prosperity or de' pression, that you should select the very best men —the men possessing the greatest experience and power to serve you. Eemember this, that Auckland has suffered in the past, and may suffer still'more in the future, in consequence of her representatives being over matched by the men of the South. We have heard a good deal during the present elections about class interests, but it should not be forgotten that the common interests outweigh the class interests. Every individual in the com munity is benefited by the prosperity and advancement of Auckland. What we want to do is to pick our very best men. The choice to be made is not for a road board or school committee, or the committee of a cricket clvb —some people act as though it were—but for the representation of a great city of 60,000 people—men to frame the laws of a great country, man age its finances and institutions, develop its enormous resources, in mining and agricultural wealth, and stimulate its industries. In selecting your representatives endeavour for the time to put away prejudice, and measure the men by plain common sense standards. Do not allow your selves, from motives of personal friend ship, or because of persistent solicita tion, or from any petty cause, to select men to govern the country whom you feel to be devoid of the brains and the energy' to represent you effectively.

There are some able men in the New Zealand Parliament, and we want men of good capacity as well as of sound political views to defend Auckland's standard. When the interests of the colony are at stake, and the prosperity of our city, we must not let side issues or personal feelings warp our judgment. We can affirm with a good conscience that in more than one instance in selecting the names of the men whom we believe to be the best able to defend Auck land's interests and legislate for the colony, we have been compelled to waive personal inclinations. In under- i taking this task our endeavour has been to give the electors, many of whom take little interest in politics except at the time of an election, the benefit of our experience and ob servation of public men. We desire, however, neither to dictate to the elec tor nor unduly influence him. His judgment must be fully satisfied that he is doing the best for Auckland and the colony when he records his vote. Nothing can come between the elector and his conscience in making the final decision, and any elector who gives his vote without his judgment being fully satisfied that he is acting rightly is a traitor to his country, a man no better than a Hottentot, who ought to be disfranchised and placed under the benign rule of the Czar of Kussia or King Tawhaio. Sunday intervenes between to-day and the time for election, and the day could notbe better spent than in conning over the pros and cons and making up one's mind from clear and intelligent motives. Never mind what promises you have made ; these were conditional upon remaining of the same mind, and better break a promise than violate your conscience and sell your country. The ballot is absolutely secret. There is no doubt about that. A man can vote against his employer or against an influential director without the slightest fear of being found out. It was for this purpose that voting was made secret, and for anyone to ask you how you have voted, or how you in tend to vote, is a piece of impertinence.

We have received some letters from committee men and paid touts of can didates, complaining that we have ex pressed an opinion upon the qualifica tions of the men seeking election. These persons apparently think that it is their peculiar privilege to go about button-holing and persuading men in quiet corners. Public discussion is apt to spoil their game. The commit tee man who gives his time and labour to the cause for the good of it, from conviction, and because he wants to see the best man win, is worthy of all honour. We wish there were a more general interest of a personal kind in politics. But these gentlemen must not suppose that they are entitled to a monopoly of the voter's ear. We want to assist you in scrutinising and analysing their arguments. Don't let anyone think for you. Think and judge for yourselves.

PARNELL.

In revievring the issues of this con test we have, we believe, shown from the past political records of Mr Moss that he has always voted straight on the Liberal side of politics; that he has interested himself personally in every industrial question, and has spared no time or trouble when he could remove a grievance or advance a good cause. We have shown that he has been the most conspicuous op ponent of the policy of borrowing and squandering in the New Zealand Legis lature ; that he possesses knowledge of the public accounts equalled by few men in the House of Representatives; that he has uniformly advocated State encouragement to local industry; and that his powers as a clear and incisive debater have invariably been used on the side of the masses, and Jn the cause of Liberal legislation. The op position to Mr Moss is purely a Tory move. It comes from the party who were always opposed to him, and who would make cats-paws of the Liberal electors to serve their purpose. The way Mr Seymour George has wobbled about over protection to local industry during the present contest is enough to satisfy the electors of the nature of the arts that are being used to beguile them away from a man who has proved himself true to the backbone. We shall feel disappointed with human nature if Parnell does not put Mr F. J. Moss at the top of the poll by a splendid majority.

NEWTON.

In this constituency the issue to our mind is quite as clear as in Parnell. It is pretty well admitted by all who are not blinded by partizan feeling, that the real fight lies between Messrs Tole and Withy, and wa would again appeal . strongly to the electors who wish to see local manufactures encouraged, the rate of wages sustained, and employmentfound for the thousands now walking about, not to let their votes be cast in a man ner that will really defeat the object which they wish to see achieved. By voting for Mr Garratt they are really voting for Mr Withy, whose declara tions against tariff assistance to local industry have been of the most uncompromising character. How ever much disposed to vote for Mr Garratt upon personal grounds some protectionists may feel, they must see the folly of splitting the vote, thereby letting in a member who has declared war to the knife against their cause. On the grounds of consis tent and able public service, and long Parliamentary experience, Mr Tole ia entitled to support. He has been a thorough-going Liberal, and was almost the only lawyer in the House who voted for Sir George Grey's Law Practitioners' Bill, throwing open the profession to free comp»tU««% Vs#*

stupendous efforts that are being put forth to defeat him by the Conserva tive Press of the city and the Tory party should warn all Liberal electors, and get their backs up. Never in our experience have we known a member's public services more grossly misrepre sented. Let Newton send back its answer in unmistakable terms by re turning Mr Tole with a substantial majority. Mr Withy is a compara tively new arrival. Threo years de voted to the quiet study of the colony, its institutions, history and require ments, will improve him very much, and when he next comes,before the electors we may find his views more in harmony with colonial ideas. Auck land cannot afford to lose Mr J. A. Tole from its phalanx, and we com mend him to the care of the Newton electors.

AUCKLAND WEST.

We reviewed this contest with the. result that, weighing the pros and cons of the candidates in the field, Mr David Goldie had the strongest claim to the support of the electors. "With regard to the insinuations that have been made against Mr Goldie during this contest, we have carefully investi gated them, to the extent even of ex amining his books from the first day Mr Goldie entered into business, and we are in a position to give the slanders an unqualified denial. We re peat our conviction that there is no more upright man in Auckland, no man whose public or private character will bear closer scrutiny than that of Mr Goldie, and these unworthy at tempts to injure his candidature will excite sympathy and increase his majority. No man with any self respect could rest quietly under such imputations, and Mr Goldie, without adopting any vindictive measures, has taken such legal steps as are necessary to give himself the op portunity of clearing his character. But the electors of Auckland West need have no hesitation in returning their verdict on Monday. Mr Goldie's action in the City Council, the Educa tion Board,and the Hospitals and Chari table Aid Board affords a practical guarantee that the policy he will pursue in the higher sphere of Parliament will be directed towards the curtail ment of expenditure, the exposure of jobbery, and the lessening of taxation, which is being increased year after year. We want some members who have had experience in the working of oui local governing institutions, and no man has better credentials in this res pect than Mr David Goldie. He is also able to speak from experience upon industrial questions, is a con sistent advocate of tariff assistance to local industry, and can do good work on behalf of the industrial interests of the colony. He appears to us in every respect the best-qualified man of the three in the field, and for that reason we give the name of Mr Daved Goldie as the right man for Auckland West.

PONSONBY.

Some of Mr Wright's supporters, we understand, are aggrieved at our un qualified rejection of his claims to re present that constituency. We can not help it. Personally, we have no quarrel with Mr Wright, nor any pre judice in favour of his opponents, Messrs Peacock and Cooper. But we are fully satisfied that Mr Wright does not possess the qualities requisite to make a good member of Parliament, and without desiring to hurt that gentleman's feelings we are bound to say so in clear,unequivocal language. Moreover, Mr Wright's political creed appears to us to be unsatisfactory, and in some respects to have been manufac tured "to meet the times." In his opening address he plainly advocated making children pay for all education over the fourth standard, which would have deprived the children of the less wealthy classes, whom he professes to represent, of everything but the most rudimentary knowledge, and would have introduced into our public schools one of the most obnoxious class dis tinctions which the rankest Tory in the country could have suggested— namely, paying and non-paying pupils. We believe Mr Wright saw that this would not go down, and has since changed his mind. Then, with regard to Mr Wright's special claim to represent in some special manner the " working classes," the pretext appears to us one that will not bear examination. When Mr Wright was in the building trade he was a contractor, and his interests were then on the side of the employer. As Secretary of the Builders' Associa tion it seems to us that they still are so. Let us be clearly understood. We do not mention these facts as arguments against Mr Wright's candidature, but for the purpose of showing the arrant nonsense of setting him up in contra-distinction to his opponents as peculiarly the " working man " repre sentative—in short, to expose the clap trap, of such cries in a community like this, where hardly a man can be pointed out who has not sprung directly from the ranks. We do not ob ject to those who believe that Mr Wright is " the man for Galway1' supporting his candidature by their voices and their votes; holding such opinions it is clearly their duty to do so. It is equally our duty to state, what we implicitly believe—namely, that it would be a huge blunder to send Mr Wright to Wellington as the representative of an important city constituency. And further that it would scarcely be a smaller blunder to lose the services of Mr Peacock at this juncture unless a better man were forthcoming in his place. Among the. candidates for Ponsonby we do not see any better man. Indeed, among the entire list of Auckland 9M

By to withdrawal every man in the country suffers, from the lumper on the wharf to the merchant and newspaper proprietor. Every property-owier suffers, because with the decline of our trade population drifts away, houses become empty, and land falls in value. This is the way the electors must look at the matter. It is childish to com plain of the South, getting the best of us if we do not select public men who have the ability to defend our rights. If the electors of Ponsonby consider these matters calmly they will jnevifc. ably be driven to the conclusion that —whatever their personal inclinations may be—their duty to Auckland com pels them to vote for Mr Peacock.

AUCKLAND NORTH.

The Trades and Labour Council have withdrawn Mr Farnall, and have te solved to give their united support to Mr Thompson; so that the contest now lies absolutely between that gen tleman and Mr S. Vaile. We have so recently given our reasons for be lieving that it would be a mistake to change the old member that it is hardly necessary to recapitulate them A warm supporter of Mr Yaile's last night, in a communication published in our columns, endeavoured, to show what a desperate condition our railway management is in, and deprecated sending Home for the information 11 we have at hand." The writer, how ever, forgets that Mr Vaile lias never had any practical experience of rail way management in his life, and' is under the further disadvantage of having all those who have had such experience throughout the world against him. This does not prove that he is wrong, but it-cer tainly proves the necessity for caution in experimenting with theoretical schemes in a colony like New Zealaad, which labours under an enormous debt, and is bound either to make the. lines pay or increase the heavy taxation of the colony. We hava perused the greater part of Mr Vaile's voluminous literature on the subject, and the evidence and report of the Parliamentary Committee, and .jrt are still unconverted. Still we areno' disinclined to see the system get a_fiit trial under suitable conditions. , Wn» we contend is that such a scheme, the adoption of which would prove higW advantageous to Mr Vaile, and very properly so, considering the time afld the labour he has given to the subject, should not be thrust upon a Government at the point..«« Vaile's vote as member for AncklaSl North. Personally, we have » great respect for Mr Vaile. & is an old colonist, and a shrewd and genial man, and a very good adverWj which Mr Thompson is not. w none of these reasons appears w us to furnish adequate .grooja for Mr Thompson's _ rejection 2 Auckland North, in view of frfcj that he has served the constiteg faithfully, fulfilled all to «gj pledges, and usedhis wto,w}"J»JJ Uniformly on the side ofJ-taj* and industrial progress.
