IIEES, M.H.R. •The New Zealand Times.' alluding to Mr. liees Candidature for Auckland City East, gave an ex cath'dra opinion that he : —" Will be a decided novelty in the House it he should be returned, and the ' Auckland star' has found ir> him .a man after its own heart, and gives him the following recommendatory notice, which ought to ensure his rejection by any constituency:—' We have long thought .Mr. W. L. Kees a necessary complement to Sir George Grey in the Assembly. Sii* George Grey is altogether too gentlemanly for dealing with the brutes with whom he has been compelled to herd in the field of legislation. And we have often pictured to ourselves two or three of these ignorant nincompo' ps worrying the leader of the Opposition, then Mr. Kees rushing at them open-mouthed and literally chawing them up. There will not be a more slashing, fearless speaker in the Assembly, and kept judiciously in cheek by Sir George Grey, he will make the Treasury benches a pretty lively place for their occupants. City West harf honor of sending the most prominent member of the House, and City Kast •.'ill have the Honor of sending a man to fill up what is wanting in Sir George Grey and to deal with the political ruffians after the fashion, most suited to their peculiar sensibilities.'
