NELSON.
This day. Mr Pitt, M.H.E., addressed the city electors last night, and after referring to the work of the past session, he gave the Government credit for honestly endeavoring to place the finance of the colony on a sound basis, and expressed his belief that the colony had a great future. He thought the public works scheme was bad, the high wages paid attracted miners and others, but that now these would turn their attention to mining nod other industries. He
would not vote for the introduction of the Bible into schools even if such were shown to be the desire of the majority of the colonists. He did nob* think it necessary to fill the vacancy caused by Sir Julius Vogel's retirement. He received a vote of thanks and confidence.
