Sir Julius Yogel himself would be here in about a month, and he would bo able to thank them himself, and lay before them his political views (loud cheers.) Mr Watt was now called forward and standing on the verandah of the Court House, he said he thanked those who had voted for him, and was not put out at the result of the eledlion. He was glad to find that Mr Dnthie had paid him the coni])limcnt of saying that the reason they had brought forward Sir Julius Vogcl was that he was the only man who could Lave beaten him (Mr Watt,) (oh, oh, and cheers, and no, no.) He had been told so and he took it as the hisrhest compliment they could pay him. He had no reason lo regret having come forward and if the election were to be contested again to morrow he would do the same. He again thanked those who had voted for him most cordially. Mr Field was next called for and said he thanked the ten who had voted for him unasked. It showed that there were some who had confidence in him, and he had not regretted his candidature. If the Public Works Bill should prove unwork able and he had not come forward and of fered his services to the electors, it would be a greater cause of self reproach and more bitter to him than the fact of his defeat. He had sown some seeds which he felt sure would in time bear fruit and he hoped that when they did bear fruit they would not forget who had sown them. (Cheers and laughter). Mr Pharazyn (who was on horseback on the outskirts of the crowd was now called for and came on to the verandah). He said he heartily thanked those who had voted for him and also thanked those who had not voted for him and had saved him from a great deal of trouble and responsibility. He still believed it would have been better if Sir Julius Yogel had gone to some other constituency, but still he was glad that he had been retur ned and hoped it would be for the benefit of the district and at the same time help to establish New Zealand in a firmer and more prosperous position.
