"SCAREMONGERS IN POLITICS."
(Special to the Herald.)
AUCKLAND, this day. Speaking at Mt. Eden, fhe Hon. Geo; Fowlds said the present Opposition had no function in the House, and served no good purpose. In fact all they had proved themselves capable of doing was the creation of friction. When the effete Opposition -was wiped but he believed they would develop a true Opposition that would take up a stand on principles, and would honestly oppose the Government whenever those principles were at stake. The existing Opposition was without principle and was mainly dependent on manufactured bogeys. They had had so many cries of "Wolf, wolf!" when there was no wolf that fhe man in the street simply said, "I have' heard that cry before ; there is nothing in it." This apathy on the part of the' elector was not a desirable thing, but it was inevitable when- they had a band of scaremongers in politics.. ■..■.,■■
