DUNEDIN.

Yesterday.

Bishop Mown, in bis published address to the electors of the Peninsula, after referring to the unsatisfactory views of both Mr Larnach and Mr Donnelly on the education question, says :—"lt is difficult to say which of those two candidates, is most unjust and tyrannical in his principles and policy, and most opposed to the equitable claims of Catholics and others who think with them" He proceeds: "Under these circumstances I offer you my*services. Ido this to afford just men an opportunity of giving effect to the disapprobation of tbe principles and policy of both Mr Donnelly and Mr Larnach on the question. As. I protest against tie cowardice of some, and the tyranny of others in the position in which I now place myself, my claim to be regarded as a man, a citizen, and an elector of the Peninsula, and as the advocate of fair play and even-handed justice, I shall canvass no man, I shall employ no agents —such as are willing to vote for me will come to the poll of their own expense and purely for the purpose of > protesting against injustice and advocating what is equitable. I make no apology for assuming this position. lam as much entitled to offer my services to the electors as Mr Donnelly or Mr Larnacb, or any other man." On all other subjects likely to occupy the attention of Parliament he says his principles will be found fair and just. The Ofago University loan of £15,000, at 6 per cent., issued at par, has been successfully floated. An inquest was held to-day on the body of Mr J. A- fiogers, formerly station, master at Burn side, who died from an overdose of chloral, under circumstances leading to a suspicion of suicide. The jury returned an open verdict. The Coroner censured the chemist who had supplied deceased with chloral regularly, for supplying it, except upon prescription from a,medical man.
