;ion by the majority of the Provincial Council ;hat I have been induced to make that appeal, 'What are the actual circumstances of the case? rhe Council assembled on the 6th of May for the iespatoh of business. The Executive Govern, nent was prepared at once to submit for con. the Estimates for the year, also variouj important questions bearing upon the interests sf the Province in addition to those referred to in my opening address. The 19th of May ar. rived without any prospect of business being pro. seeded with. In the meantime the interests of the country were being neglected, and a large daily expenditure was being incurred for no prac. tical purpose. Under these circumstances \ submit that there was no course open but to pro. rogue and apply for a dissolution. It is said that history frequently repeats itself, It is a remarkable coincidence that the present political situation is preeisely similar to that which existed some sixteen or seventeen years ago, when the then Superintendent stood forth is the guardian of the public interests and the rights of the people, which at that time, as now, were being sacrificed at the shrine of faction ia the Provincial Council. Although I had resolved never again to drag the Superintendency through the mire of a con. tested election, yet, under the peculiar circunj. stances of the case, 1 should have been glad had it been possible to have met you face to face prior to the polling day. It is physically impos! sible to go round the Province before the 18th instant, and to visit particular localities only, i 8 apt to cause offence. Moreover, important offi. cial engagements make it exceedingly inconve. nient to be absent from Dunedin. As it is, my views and opinions are, I believe, sufficiently well known to enable you to decide as to whether or not I am the most suitable candidate for your suffrages, without any personal canvass on my part. Fully relying upon the sound judgment of the Electors, I am quite content to leave the result in your hands.—Yours faithfully, JAMES MACANDREW.
