If this was not .a sa e of his independency as my representative, .and as the representative of his constituents generally, then 1 am labormg under a delusion. Is it- not true that whilst having held or occupied the position he did under the late Government, that he was enabled to get almost anything he required for the district, he represented showing plainly that ne placed himself iu the position of the despised gold field members-despised from his poiut 0 f vi«w ?
