POLITICAL.
A PAROCHIAL NOTION DENOUNCED. Speaking at Mantua on Monday, the lion. T. McKcnzie said it liad boon Insinuated that lie was a Southerner and therefore had no business in Taranaki. He hoped they had got over that parochial notion. The fact was they wanted the best man they could get, regxrdless of locality. If the best man was a local man, all well and good, hut if the best man was a New Zealamler, whether from North or South, then elect him as their representative., for Taranaki was entitled to the best brains and widest experience that the country had at its disposal. (Loud applause.) It was their duty to see that they drew no narrow line of place or locality in electing their representative. Their interests and the interests of the country were at stake, and they had to combine, in a large sense and an extended and generous view, both local and national interests. (Applause.)
