NELSON, May 31. Political. Mr Lovestam addressed a crowded meeting of electors last night, and said that the class to which ho belonged would never be properly represented till it returned men from the masses. He claimed for their children, as a right, a liberal and secular education, but said that tho administration of the educational system was too extravagant. On the land question, he thought it would bo better to give land away, in order to make it productive. He opposed tho property tax and tho beer tax, advocating an income and a land tax on a sliding scale, with ad valorem duties. He advocated a slight protection rather than bonuses. He thought modified Provincial Councils, without the power of legislation, would give better local government. He approved of Sir George Qrey’c Liberal measures, but censured him for certain actions, and said that the present Government were not Liberals, and did not deserve

credit for economy, and charged them with dishonesty regarding the District Railway Bill. He was opposed to a redistribution of seats on the population basis. He would support measures he believed to be good, but he lacked confidence in the leaders on either side. Ho received a vote of thanks, with the addition of expressing him a fit and proper person to represent the constituency. Mr J. O. Richmond, in a morning paper, says ho did not roundly declare himself a Socialist, but in common with the great Liberal party of which he was one, he symEathisod with the aims of the Socialists, which o understood to be to secure to the working man a fair share of the fruits of his labor, and mitigate as far as possible the inequalities of his lot.
