" /^{.ENTLEMAN,— A substantial majority of the House v^ of Representatives having declared that the present Government no longer possesses the confidence of tbe country, the question has been remitted to the people for their decision. It now lies with the electors of New Zealand to confirm or upset the verdict of Parliament. i« a member of the Opposition I come before you asking you to endorse or condemn my action in the matter. During the time that I have had the honor to represent you I have attended iaitbfully to my duties, and have consistently supported every liberal measure brought forward in the House. I have good reason for believing lhat I have earned and won the respect and esteem of those with whom I have been politically associated, and the knowledge of this fact emboldens me to solicit a renewal of your ' £rtfi J !t ke r earl y opportunity of addressing you S s^?^z^r mment < * uestions * Mch a - at p--t THOMAS BRACKEN.
