Mr Dick, speaking at North-oast Valley last night, said, speaking as a private member, the present management was not cal-

eulated to render the railways a commercial success, therefore he would bo favorable to trying tho experiment of a non-political railway board. When the new Parliament met no party would be strong enough to command confidence, and thero must bo a coalition. He was not altogether satisfied with his own party, because in some matters he did not agree with them, and quite possibly he might not find himself prepared to follow the leader ho had done iv the past. He hoped party simply for the treasury benches would be dono away with. Mr Gillies, addressing the Bruce electors, declared himself a supporter of Sir Julius Vogel. The election is likely to be a keen one.
