Mr Steward met his constituents in Volunteer Hall last night. About' two hundred and fifty were present. He spoke for two hours. He revised the Legislation of the Session and the proposed political changes. He said the members of the Assembly, with the exception of a few connected with provincial institutions, were convinced that the abolition of provincialism in the North island was necessary to the progress of the colony. He believed, if satisfactory machinery for local Government was substituted, the time would Roon arrive that Canterbuiy and Otago would ask for its extension to the Middle Island. Nelson, Marlborough, and Westland are already ripe for the change. A resolution of thaDks and entire confidence was passed unanimously, as also the following resolution —"That this meeting is of opinion that the time has arrived for the abolition of provincialism in the North Island, and the substitution therefore of a less costly system of Government, securing the expenditure of the local revenue (after deducting colonial charges) in the district in which it is raised, and is further of opinion that the abolition of the provinces and the substitution of local Government, with local expenditure of local revenues, should be extended to the Middle Island as soon as practicable.
