WHY THE ARROW WANTED TO RETURN TWO MEMBERS.

There was a meeting at the Arrow on th e 17th inst., when Messrs Innes and Clarke, th e . two Arrow candidates, addressed their constitu3 ents. We are indebted to the proprietors of the Observer for proof slips of their speeches. We give Mr Miller’s statement of the reasons which induced the people of the Arrow to endeavor to return two candidates of their own choosing. Mr J. Miller, as one of the foremost to bring another candidate forward, wished to state hi» reasons for so doing. At a certain meeting in the Arrow, a vote of no confidence was passed on Mr Hallenstein, he having published a letter refusing to meet them. The following week he changed his mind, and came to address them; but ne openly insulted and defied his constituents at the Arrow, telling them that he would have the bridge built in spite of them. Then he went to Dunedin, and there proposed his celebrated “narrow point of view” motion, and, in so. doing, only exposed his own ignorance and avarice. If he were to be returned now, he could call the Wakatip his pocket borough. When the meeting was held here, there was only one candidate for the Arrow and one for Queenstown ; but at one* Mr Hallenstein changed his mind and prepared to contest the election. If they let him in now it would be a disgrace to the district. They accordingly brought forward another candidate Mr Clarke, and hoped to see both Mr Clarke and Mr Innes returned. If they split up in divisions they might probably fet none. He would, therefore, propose, “ That Ir Robert Clarke is a fit and proper person to represent the district in the Provincial Council. ’ Mr Innes afterwards addressed the meeting, and received a vote of confidence. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr Miller said he was soixy he had not spoken earlier, as if he had, the other candidate would not have been brought forward.
