I shall be very pleaded (id answer them if I can, as my objeol in coming before yon is to Btudy ail yonr needs, find oat what yon want, and try SDd get it for you. Talking is not much in my line, but I suppose when I have done with this election I shall have picked up a few wrinkles. I have always b,een a hard worker; I daresay some of yon know this, and I have been lold since I came ont for this electorate that I have a very hard job to do; well, hard work never frightened me yet, and it is not going to do so now. When I was suddenly awakened from dreams of a university career and thrown upon my own resources while Btill in my teens, I tackled hard work right away and have been at it ever since, until I made a country home of my own, and now that I can taka a rest I feel* it my dutydo serve yon and the country that has given me my desire.”

At Patutshi last evening Mr H. HWall, speakiDg on the question of no license, said : " Ever since I was 10 years old, I have taken a keen interest in j temperance work, At that early age 11 joined a little band of workers founded by a man who left the Old Country in 1859 I beoaUßO he was a drunkard. Shortly after landiog in New Zealand ho was induced to sign the pledge and became a total 1 abstainer, and for 40 years he was a liviog witness of what total abstinence will do for men. In 1870 I advanced money to •open tho first Reohabite Tent in Marlborough, and last election I sent my buggy and pair from Waeronga-b-kuri to run ladies to the poll to vote no-license. I voted no-license myself, and hope to vots it again nntil carried, beoause I am fully convinced that colonial no-license and prohibition would be ono of the greatest booDB that New Zealand oonld get. Nolioense has proved of the greatest good wherever tried. In Amerioa it baa stood the test of yearß, and in the Southern : States, out of 27,000,000 people, 17,000,000 aro under prohibition laws, and about 4000 towns and oiti.es under no-license. There are 86,000 Roman Catholics active prohibition, 150,000 Women’s O-T.U., 500,000 Good Templars, and a host of others as well. Ib Norway on pay day the saloons are dosed all day, and the savings banks kept open until midnight. In New Zealand we are satisfied that nolicense where tried is quite successful.” A wedding of considerable local interest was solemnised in tbe Native Church, Te Arai yesterday afternoon, when Mr J.
