MR. MACANDREW AT PORT CHALMERS.
[by telegraph.— association.] ; DtTNEDIN, Friday. Mb. Macandrkw addressed his constituents at Port Chalmers this evening, and received a unanimous vote of confidence, He deplored the centralisation which existed, and believed no form of local government could bo satisfactory under that system. He still thought something might come of his motion for the crofters, and he advocated that the same facility proposed for them should be given the unemployed in the colony. He did not believe the Government would call out the militia without the sanction of Parliament. It was not his intention at the end of the present session to seek re-election, owing to the hours which Parliament sat. If it conducted its business during the day he might alter that determination. As a means of removing the depression, lie advocated a State Land Bank, which could ibe worked in connection with the Land Transfer Department. , , .
