THE ELECTIONS.
Wellington, Yesterday. Mr J. H. Shaw, a candidate for the Te Aro seat, addressed the electors this even* ing. He favoured the Property Tax, and opposed State immigration, except in cases of yeomen farmers with capital. He was of opinion that the Agent-General's department should be abolished. He characterised the Native Department as a monstrosity, at the same time he coincided with Major: Atkinson that the native difficulty should be overcome once and for all. He endorsed Mr Bryce's policy, and expressed an opinion that had it been carried out the native difficulty would have been settled. After referring to minor subjects, a vote of thanks and confidence was carried.
i The liev J. Upton Davies is announced as a candidate for Dunedin East.
