The Temuka Leader SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1887. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

Mb Twomet may well congratulate himself on the extremely kind and patient hearing he received at Temuka last Tuesday evening. The audience was one of the largest which has assembled for a long time in the Volunteer Hall, although the weather was most unfavorable, and certainly there never has been seen there a more orderly one. Only one thing was complained of, and that was that the candidate did not speak on the question of Protection. His excuse for not 60 waß jie had caused to be printed for circulation amongst the electors his views ofl this point and that it would be

published in the paper with his speech. It was published in our last issue in the shape of a supplement, and we trust that the electors will read it all carefully. A copy of it has already been forwarded to the Honorable Sir Robert Stout, who has sent Mr Twomey the following letter on the subject:— "Christchurch, 12th July, 1837. "J. M. Twomey, Eeq., "Temuka.

"My Dbae Bib,--I have read your address to the electors of Gladstone with great interest. It is a very able production, and contains many points generally overlooked by all politicians, and that require the careful consideration of every well-wisher of this colony. “ The need of further industrial development is well and clearly stated, and I hope, whatever the result uf the election may be, the stirring up of tie electoral contest will help to impress upon the people the need of self-reliance and of a truly National policy. “ Many lhaake for the address. “ Belieye mo,you'-s truly, " Eoxbet Stout.” Sir John Hall writes as follows 11 Dunedin, 20th July, 1887. "J. M. Twomey, Esq. “Dbab Sie,—Your letter of the 13th has just reached me here. “I have read your addresses carefully, and at a future time, if you so desire, shall be pleased to give you my opinion on them. But I regret l hat for several reasons I feel myself unable to do so at the present juncture. I may say, however, that I agres with you as to the extreme gravity of the position of the colony. “Yours truly, "John Ham.” Let the people judge for themselves now as to the contents cf the supple* ment.
