Copy of Cypher Telegram (decyphered). (Eeceived 26/9/92.) I have carefully considered your despatch, and appreciate the difficulties of your position ; but I have no hesitation in advising acceptance of your Eesponsible Advisers' advice. It does not appear to be a case of swamping the Council. Division-lists should be considered rather than politics of the Premiers originally nominating members. I will state fully reasons by despatch ; but you should at once re-open matter with Ministers, and waive your objections to their proposal. Agent-General is anxious for information, which I cannot withhold after to-morrow; but I am anxious to give you opportunity of making your own announcement to the Ministers. To the Governor, Wellington, N.Z.
