SHAM AND HYPOCRISY.
•There is ia« gdod deal of sltovm and hypocrisy underlying the movement, to publicly recognise tihe services (!tf Sir Joseph Ward to the Dominion. That these services have been freely given, no one will deny. That they have involvedi an amount of personal sacrifice is freely admitted. But Sir Joseph Ward lias been retired at the eyprcfised will of the people. He has been told, a® plainly as a man could b« told, that the country has had enough of him as Pt 'me- Ifinir-tcr. Asd
he has had tlie good taste to withdi ilw from a position which was untenable, though the manner m which he did bo was anything but dignified, tor til© people to express th«ir national appreciation of his many services (services which they emphatically rejected) is like hanging a man and then finding him not guilty. It is hypocrisy, downright hypocrisy!
