“ From the time we landed in New Zealand,” said Mr Wilson Barrett in his speech of farewell at the Wellington Opera House, “we have all been struck with the grandeur and beauty of your country, and with its many possibilities. You have a country in which your hands should become great, and you have at the head of your Ministry a man who is not a mere politician, but in every sense of the word a great statesman." (Applause.) “ Probably he has made mistakes—someone has aptly said that the man who has never made mistakes has never made anything—but he is a man quick to conceive and swift to execute. He has not the faculty of following behind a crowd; he goes before, sees definitely what is the course to take, and does not hesitate to take it. We can see better at a distance than you who are near what such a man is; and I know that Richard Seddon is a man who is not only here but amongst the nations, and is making New Zealand respected amongst the nations. He is making New Zealand a factor in our Empire—don’t you forget it, ladies and gentlemen.” (Hear, hear.)
