t Special to "Star." t (pee united press association.) , Auckland. This Day. Mr Mitchelson addrrssed the electors r of Marsden at Wa pa last night. He 1 favored standing managements to a noni political board, had i^reat faith in Bryce s policy, and felt sure the country would ' have his .Native Land Bill. The electors had to choose between Atkinson and Togel, for they were practically the lead--3 ers of the two parties now before the 8 country. In Atkinson he believe! tno i colony possessed the soundest financier , in the colony, and Vogel was the man * who would, if he got his way, plunge the 5 colony hopelessly into debt. Referring to the North Island Railway, he said but t for the illness of the Premier on the day . Parliament opened the Government would have made a distinct statement regarding 1 the railway, but 'this w s prevented by 1 j fhe indecent haste of the Opposition in ' m )ving rn adverse vote against the G<<- , y nment. The Government have ev< y« i i ung in thorough order, aud would have 1 . bjon prepared to have floated a loan for the line immediately, and surveyors would i have been sent at once to prepare the necessary data, &c., for calliug of tenders and the commencement of the work. A vote of confidence was carried.
