Sir George Grey
[PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. I Auckland, Feb. 25. In reply to a deputation of the electors of Newton to-day, Sir George Grey consented to stand for that seat. He expressed himself strongly in favor of retrenchment, the amalgamation of offices, and local option. With regard to borrowing he had seen every great rise to preeminence through borrowing wisely. It seemed fair that existing people should look to those who were to succeed them to pay something for the advantages which they would derive from the present public Morks. For this reason he thought, it-unwise to pledge himself that New Zealand was never to borrow again. Their welfare would probably require borrowing until there had been brought about a much better state of things than at present.
