Working Men’s Political Association. —The ordinary meeting of the above assooiation was held at the Gaiety Theatre, at 7 p.m., last evening. Mr James Crowley in the chair. Several candidates for members were proposed and elected. The question of erasing the name of Mr Pilliet, from the roll of the association was then discussed. Mr Pozzi opened the question, and said that Mr Pilliet was elected by a class who were striving to obtain their rights from the Legislature, and in voting against the Upper House being elective, he bad broken the second rule of the association, which provided that both branches of the Legislature must be elected by the people. Iu doing this he had voted against a measure that was was the very essence of liberty. That Upper House had vetoed many Bills which, if relegated to the people, would have become law. He would therefore move, “ That Mr Piiliet’a name be erased from the roll of the Working Men’s Political Association.” Mr Lookwood ascended the resolution* Mr Olephana (in response to calls) said ha would rather hear other speakers, and then aired hia grievances against the member for Stanmoro. Mr John Lee hoped they would carry the motion by an overwhelming majority. Mr T. Graham would move an amendment “ That the discussion be postponed for a fortnight.” He hoped they would not think ho was in favor of Mr Pilliet, but he did it to test the feeling of the meeting. No hands were held np for the amendment. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. It was decided that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to Mr Pilliet. The subject for discussion at the next meeting of the association is, “ Would the construction of the East and West Coast Railway be bmeficial to Canterbury.” This terminated the meeting.
