AUCKLAND TELEGRAMS.
(FROM OUR SPECIAL COE"EBPONDENr.)
Auckla-d. Tin's day,
Inspixatioa Movemoats. The C'»'onial Ministers »v- dis-tribulinmh.-nisolv.s The Premier lins arrived, -nd will be followed i>y the Minister of Justice, who will shortly return to Christchurch Tia Weflint'ton Major At kinson will steer for Taranaki, Mr Keynolds for Otago. Mr Eichardson probably for ;the West Coas^, and Sir Donald for Napier." Then the inspiration movements will be inaugurated and tho telegraphic wires and Government organs will givo the " warning note." The telegraph offices will enable ministers to rule the colony, whilst tho departmental nwuagement of on«> of the n>ost overtaxed colonies in the world will be entrusted to under secretaries and clerks; what a glowing picture. Tho Provincial Council. It is whispered that .Sir George <3rey will call the Council together; it is also further rkmored that he has legal opinions j from some of the principals of the lc_al WW^ion that he will be doing right in **fafci,;g%iich a course However a few weeks will develop matters in this dir ction. ... The Eden District. The Honorable K. J. Oreighton is coming up to contest the *■ den District at the forthcoming elections. It is a pity the Wellington people do not see hi 9 " worth " arid requisitionise him tc come forward for a Wellington constituency. When one recollects how he was driven from the Newton district nearly 5 years ago to make room for another abler and Jionesier politician, Mr Swan*< n, I cannot But admire his present coo! intention. If the gentleman thinks that he will succeed in winning the Eden people through the ••influeuce" of Messrs. Young, Writ-ley, and one or two others, after selling his constituents, notwithstanding two public meetings being held in support of the very views which he most positively opposed, I am very much surprised. In fact to elect a resident of Wellington for an Auckland seat, is, to say the least of it, cutting one's own throat, politically speaking. Auckland people seem determined not to have anything to do with men who appear only servile followers of the present Ministry. Sir George G-rey. Sir George Grey and his other Auckland frienda may be expected here about the Bth of next month. Proposed Banquet to Mr. ■ Swansoa. Several influential men in the Newton District proposed giving Mr Swanson, their faithful and independent representative, a grand dinner, but from what I can hear he is not favourable to such action A compliment will be pnid to him in another way, which will be equally, if not more, satisfactory to his tastes and feelings. The Town Clerk. P. A. Phillips, Ksq., our worthy Town Clerk, has been made the subject of much newspaper writing during the last few days, owing to some alleged .rievance on the part of one of our bust ness people, but any one who knows anything about him is -perfectly -satisfied that he._ discharges his duties in a most impartial manner. -- ■ - •"' •
