' Captain , Dawfion, late of the 67th.

Mr F. G. Moss is an. able man, but he represents an Auckland 1 constituency, and there is a feeling on the part of southern members that Auckland influence is already strong enough in the Ministry. W? in Otago have a right to urge that our interests iwillinot be suffioir ently represented by the presence, of Mr Macandrew alone in . the Cabinet, and that Mr Stout, ought to be replaced. by an Otago mar*, though wa. admit that Canterbury is inadequately represented by Mr Eisner. - If Mr Bees or ; Mr Moss were appointed the North' Island would be unduly strong, Mr Macandrew and Mr " Fisher being the only southern representatives as against 'five northern men, including the Premier, who is a host in himself.".
