As one who has been resident in the Colony for
a number of years; whose interests have always been, and will always continue largely to be, bound up with the interests of the Colony; whose business and associations have brought him into close touch with most of the problems and matters relating
to the Colony, its interests, and its future; and who has from time to time given such problems and matters close reflection
and consideration; I am moved to address you regarding the resolutions which were passed at the meeting of the Constitu-
tional Reform Association on the 9th, ins tant lest it should be
thought that such resolutions are unhesitatingly concurred in
by all sections of the community.
It does not appear to me to be necessary to
dwell on the fact that the names of the representatives of most
of the old established business concerns of the Colony do not
appear in the list of the sponsors of the meeting.
I have long been of opinion that the time had
arrived when the Colony should, by an unofficial majority,
regulate, under proper safeguards, its own minicipal affairs.
I believe this view is largely shared by responsible opinion
unrepresented, as far as I know, at the meeting; but I intertain
the opinion very firmly that such safeguards as I have alluded
should not be directed to Imperial interests and policy
alone, but also to the Colony's own affairs and intereste as
apart from Imperial interests and policy.

It is particularly with regard to safeguarding
such affairs and interests of the Colony, other than any
Imperial interests, that I have ventured to address you, I do
not consider that it is in accordance with such affairs and
interests that they should be unrestrictedly entrusted to a
body comprising a popularly elected majority, While in sympathy,
then,
