LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL'S TRIBUTE.
(SPECIATj TO "THE PRESS.")
WELLINGTON, July 29. In tho Legislative Council this morning, in moving a resolution expressing appreciation of the late Mr T. E. Taylor, and condolence with the widow and family, the Hon. J. McGowan said that deceased was a unique personality. He had not unfittingly been termed the "stormy petrel of New Zealand politics," and his censure was severe, even to tho extent of ruthlessness. Yet ho was correspondingly liberal in his praise, which, being carefully bestowed, was all tho more appreciated. In his advocacy of any cause he espoused he was whole-eouled and characteristically effective, and New Zealand grieved today at the cutting off of this publicspirited legislator and citizen. Tho Hon. R. A. Loughnan, in a brief eulogy, seconded the motion. Tho Hon. J. Barr and the Hon. J. T. Paul also made appreciative speeches- The motion was carried.
The Council then adjourned till 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday as a mark of respect.
