A MUCH NAMED PREMIER
Truth’s special correspondent at Sydney states that Mr. Seddon has received some new titles in Australia. Mr. Hassa 1, the New South Wales Minister of Land's, referred to him as “ M 3 friend, the Eight Hon. Dick Seddon. v Sir Wm. l.yne spoke of him as “The King of New Zealand,,’ and “ The Czar of Russia in New Zealand,” and he was afterwards introduced as “ Sir Eichard Seddon.” On another occasion he was introduced to she audience as “ Sir John Seddon.’.’ But it was in the crowd that you heard the New Zealand Premier queerly described. One called him “ The white Maori chief” others called him “ the fat Premier,” and others “ The Jolly Cove in the white umbrella.”
