REPRESENTATION OF DUNEDIN.

{To the Editor) WIR, —It has occurred to me frequently that a large amount of apathy exists in the political life of Dunedin, in so far, at least, as to who shall be the men to represent the City in the next Parliament of New Zealand. A telegram just received from Wanganui informs me that Sir Julius Vogel “is quite safe for that Now, the idea has suggested itself to me that it would be one of the most grace fulacts our ( 'ifcy Councillors and electors could do if they would —rather than allownn outlying district to secure the services of one of our great men, and one who has been so io;.g known to and identified with Otagouians—ai once-o take active steps to return Sir Julius as on- of the un-inkers for the “commercial Dity of New Zealand,” and the most important of all. s the Li liter of the ‘ Daily Times’ newspaper in former days, we know, his writings in rh-it journal bnuight Otago into prominent notice, and gave a character to that journal which brought it into the first rank, a position which it has not yet quite mat; and in later days we find that fan has duos great wfviae to

the city In making useful suggestions to the i • ' ou ? cl * r which they have recorded nm thanks within the last few months. And if not unnghfy informed, I believe also he as none the city an extraordinary service in s monetary an an-ements. m securing for its ■ e i(!!iturcs a place on the Stock Exchange. ’* i !“ n l we h v * a spark of ira itude in us we ~ at j°“ c " r ’*V" J our voices, and with accord proclaim “ Vogel for Dunedin.”—! <'lQ f aC.| An M.H.E.
