"A HYPOCRITE OF THE FIRST
WATER.”
(Pec Press Association.) Wellington, last night. Speaking on the report of the Audit Commission, Mr Fisher said he believed at the time he made the charge that the men were honeßt, and be believed in their fidelity still. He believed what they saw a genuine vouoher, and he was not prepared to desert them even in the face of the Commissioners’ report, He considered the Government had treated these men like dogs. •
The Premier also alluded to the voucher question, and denounced one candidate ati a hypocrite of -the first water, and remarked he had his reasons for saying he would not get the reparation that was his due. The gentleman who ought to grant it was not over-modest. Certain application had been made, and refused, for a post under the Government. The Premier did not know of this at the time, but believed now this was the motive underlying the charges.
