MR. WRIGHT AT JOHNSONVILLE.
Mr. W. J. Thompson presided at Mr. R. A. Wright's meeting at Johnsonvjlle on Friday. Replying to Mr. Moore, the Labour candidate, Mr. Wright denied that the puesent Government had got into office through treachery. The fact had been forgotten that two Labour members in the House had been elected by supporters of the present Government, pledged to vote against the Ward Administration. This they did not do. Mr. Wright denied that the Massey Administration was "Tory." Mr. Moore had endeavoured to make capital out of it at Johnsonville, but no member of the present Reform Party had taken an hereditary title, which proved that it had no sympathy with Toiy traditions. A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr. Braithwaite, seconded by Mr. Washington, and carried.
