Sir George Grey.
«, <- Mr Goklie has resigned his seat for Newtown on urgent private business, and he recommended his supporters to urge Sir George Grey to stand. By the Press Association we learn that in reply to a deputation of the electors of Newtown, Sir George Grey consented to stand for that seat. He expressed himself strongly in favour of retrenchment, amalgamation of offices, and local option. With regard to borrowing, he had seen every great city rise to pre-eminence 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 works. 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.
