THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT.
Speaking at Hastings this week, the Premier (Hon. W. F. Massey) said be had done a lot of travelling during the last three mouths, and had met thousands of the people, and he would say that the bulk of them had confidence in the Government and In the country. There were a few who did not believe in them, but they did not care, for they had made up their minds to do the tight thing for the country. The “red and the brown feds” did not believe in them, and they could ignore both the brown and the red. They wanted the sensible men on their side, and the reds and the fanatics on the other. They wanted to see the workers and industrious and loyal men on the one side, and that was on their side. “We are going to do the best thing we can for the country, and whether our term is to be long or short (that is a matter we leave to the electors'* we hope that when the time comes for us to go out of office we will be leaving the country in a much better condition than we found it when we came into office.”
