Mr Kelly's meeting in Tauranga was ( largely attended, and Tery lively person* alities were freely indulged in by both parties. Mr Kelly obtained a rote of conI fideuce by a majority of ten. - Sir Julius Vogel hti addressed Jhe eleotors of Cbristohurch North through the i newspapers. He claims con fideuce, and

refers to 1880, when Gorernmenti prevented thousands : of farmers with capital and knowledge:coming out from Home. :ffe deprecates the attacks^ on him on the ground of- extrafagancei as cruel in the ex'reme, and from no one more than from Major: Atkinson. Major Atkinson joined me in 1874,- and he hsd charge of the finance during fifteen months I was away. He. Was party to the four; million loan of 1874^ and \6 the njillion in 1876; and deducting these, my responsibility, apart from Major Atkinson, is £8.000,000 only. There is just aa little truth in Major. Atkinson's economy as 'in -my fxtraTaganoe. He by muddling bis accounts into a number of divisions, end having recourse to a variety of teniporary expedients, deceives himself and deceives others as to what he is doing. He will leave the Treasury with an immense amount of debt to be either borrowed permanently, or kept afloat by temporary expedients. Sir Juliun Vogel goes on to declare that a change of Government should place^ on the House meeting! He does not desire office, but .will not shirk responsibility, rHe would be quite content to stand aside and support men-whose policy he .approved. He concludes by acknowledging the consideration shown; him and says that nothing but physical inability had kept him from Cbristchurch.
