SEVERE ON POME MINISTERS.
SYDNEY, April 15. Mr Charles Wilson, M.H.R. for Wellington Suburbs, in an interview, after declaring that he was a strong supporter of the Government, said that he was firmly of opinion that the Ministry must be reconstructed. The Ministry had a very strong head, but a very weak tail. He described twe members of the Cabinet at least as having such idJnentably notoriously weak mental and political fibre that their political gyrations rendered them a laughing-stock to the rank and file of the party, whose support on a division they obtain, but whose personal esteem they fail to possess The commercial community now .possessed confidence in Mr Seddon. At one time this confidence was not felt. It was now a-ecognised that though Mr fceddon is a Democrat, he is extremely cautious as to such branches of his policy as affected the commercial world — in other words, lie is not auile the ultra-Radical he used to be.
