THE EDEN SEAT.
MISS MELVILLE, INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
Auckland, March 4. Miss Ellen Melville has definitely announced herself as an Independent candidate for Eden. She was next to Sir James Gunson in order of selection at the delegates’ meeting.
Sir James Gunson, when questioned regarding the complaint of the rejected Reform aspirants for the Eden seat, declined to make a statement. He said he was not responsible for any grievance the malcontents might have. He had carried out all that had devolved upon him, and had appeared before the delegates. Mi’. T. J. Fleming, one of the rejected aspirants, dissociates himself from the public protest made by others, and pledges bis support to Sir James. The Reform Party organiser (Mr. Davy) says the malcontents’ protest is ridiculous in the extreme, and the charges have no foundation in fact. The candidates could have gone into the street and joined Sir James Gunson, as the door leading to the street was open. The reason for locking the other door was to keep the public out, not the candidates.
