A NATIONAL LOSS
((Pec ©eess Association.) ' Auckland, last night.
The Premier, speaking at Huntly, made sympathetic reference to the death of Sir A. J. Cadman. He said: “ I feel much depressed. You will have noticed with profound regret the great loss the oolony has sustained in the death of my lace colleague, a true friend of the people, and especially to the miners, of Hew Zealand. I know no man who was a greater slave to duty, who, under adverse circumstances, was ever true to the best interests ot the colony. He was not one of those who for popularity’s sake would do that which was expedient. True of principle, firm to conviction, irrespective of consequences, Sir A. J. Cadman stood out as one of the foremost of New Zealand’s public men. His name will ever be respected throughout the colony. In Auckland provincial district it will be specially revered."
The audience was much affected, and on the Premier’s suggestion silently rose as a token of respect to the memory of the deceased gentleman.
