MR McNAB'S CAMPAIGN.

CHRISTCHTJRCH, May 31. Mr Robert McNab, speaking to a reporter on Saturday said he was much gratified by his reception in the Sputh Island where his," military training proposals w^re enthusiastically received. The best meetings of the whole campaign were held in Cbristchurch and Ashburton. In the North Island the people took a greater interest in his indictment of the volunteer system. In the South Island they irere more interested in' his remarks on reconstruction. He thus inferred that the people in the South were in advance of those in the North on the question. The South was apparently prepared to admit that the volunteer system had failed and desired to know the best system to supersede- it. Mr McNab has still a few North Island towns to visit.
