vote of thanks to Mr Smith for his able advooaoyof the Temperance cause during the past week, and expresses a hope that he will be able to eee his way clear to cast m his lot with the people of New Zealand. We believe there are many constituencies who would gladly liayo Mr Smith to represent them In Parliament, not only for his advocacy of the cause of tomperance, but also for his intelligent grasp of all questions that are likely to come beforo Parliament In the interests of tho people of this fair colony." Mr Smith, in acknowledging the vote, remarks the Chronicle, said that ho had on a numbor of occasions beenurged to stand for Parliament, but ho had merely regarded tho invitation to do so merely as a compliment, Of late, however, ho had looked at the matter more Boriously, and if it proved to be l roally the wish of tho people that ho should stand for some constituency in New Zealand it was not at all improbablo that he woulddo so.
