LORD RANFURALYS SUCCESSOR.
A MAORI SUGGESTION. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Monday. The Masterton Times publishes a reply from the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain to a petition sent by the Wairarapa Maoris, urging Mr. Seddon's appointment as successor to Lord Ranfurly. While recognising their appreciation of the services which Mr. Seddon has rendered to New Zealand arid to the Empire, the King directs Mr. Chamberlain, to point out that it would be -contrary to universal precedent to appoint as Governor (whose impartiality must be beyond question) any gentleman who has been prominently engaged in the politics of the colony.
