SIR WILLIAM HERRIES.

WHAT HE WOULD WISH. A HIXT TO TAURAXGA. iRy Telegraph—Special to "Star. - ') TAURANGA, this day. The Reform party has been attempting to make capital of the fact that Mr. Macmilian seems to have declared himself their next representative in the House years before there was any vacancy. What would Sir William Herries wish? The answer may be found in the following letter, which Sir Joseph Ward received from a college chum of the late, member: "Dear Sir Jo«eph.— As a man who has followed your career from the ntart and who has had the privilege of knowing yon slightly personally, T am writing to say how delighted I am to find you standing again to help our little country out of her financial difficulties. Personally T knew the late fir William Herries. We were at Cambridge University together, and a finer specimen of a man T have yet to meet, and I am quite sure. Sir Joseph, that he would like to see a man of your ability and character standing in his shoes" at Tauvanpn. Bo may I offer you my sincerest wishes for your success.
