The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1883. THE RIVAL LEADERS.

TnE Opposition in tho present Parliamentary session promises to. ho.as disorganised; as demoralised, and! as useless as in the last one; and this is to bo regretted, because instead' of those two elderly cats—Sir George Grey and Mr Montgomery—watching the Government piice and keeping them in order, they ar'e arching., their backs at each other on the top' of n-pj], and the said mjee can play to their ljeait's content, and nibble cgjonialoheese ad libitum. The sessbn'; "wjtli Sir George Grey giving!a notias of jnor tion to impose a. L>nld, Tax,- arid' Mr Montgomery trumping ifwith. a'tiotlier ■to repeal the Property tax, All the Government have to do is to lei) these two leaders have theirown way^'andat the proper time crush Sir' George Grey with the votes -of Montqomeky's ! followers, and annihilate Montooheby with the votes of Sir Grey's followers. In the interim, however, there will be a month of useless l:i!!r in defeating worn out questions on which every mind is absolutcl; made up. For some weefefy wjtp such motions on the order paper,'we way expeot the House of Representatives to be merolya eecond-clasa. The country, of course,.wjUf have : to par a$ tjie usual'rate of so many -huhared pr; jveek for. this most utterly usejesj fofyingt Everybody must' know ■thaji; the end of both motions .will, be absolutely.-,Mt7j and.

His' esparto j.or misohiefappears toincreaso with bjs Advancing years.' Nopolitical pnrtyin New Zealand will trust him, but by means of bis cleverness.his wealth,' and his po&ition he is able to control a small handful of votes, arid with these to discredit our Parliamentary institutions, and hinder the progress of legislation/. It would be far better Montgomery, to throw up the Bpoqge than to remain a mere tool in "tho -hands oj Sjr George Grey. He, is merely a Jac|;rin : op whom'.Sir George GRgy pnts'ijown f|o M when-. over it pleases him so to lo' "''Last session the Opposition "was a laugjijifg 'dtpok throughout the colony, arid"tfifs session it seems 'to promise to be.*© moreridiiulous'.'
