REQUISITION.
The following requisition calling upon Messrs. Vogel and O'Neill to resign their seats as members of the General Assembly for the Goldfields, is being circulated and extensively signed iu all the Goldtield towns in the Province:To Messrs. O'Neill and Yogel, Members of the General Assembly for the Goldfields:
We, the undersigned electors of the Otago Goldfields District, desire to ex. press to you our very natural wish to be represented in the next session of the General Assembly. The position of Chief Engineer of V e Province of Auckland we believe to be inconsistent with the independence of a representative, and more especially of a representative of the people of Otago. The Colonial Treasurer has completely identified himself with Auckland but there are other and graver reasons for inducing the electors of the Gold, fields to suggest the propriety of his rc» signation. Upon the Land Question, upon the Reduction of the Gold Export Duty, upon all matters immediately affecting these Goldfields 'Mr, Vogel>
views have been proved to be antagonistic to. those of his constituents. Considering that our Members are not resident, and do not represent our views, we urge upon them to afford us the opportunity of returning independent men to the Assembly, resident in the Province, and identified with our interests.
