THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.
"" Auckland, January 25. Mr" Massey. the Leader of the Opposition, was seen to-day re the Legislative Council appointments. He expressed disappointment at the selection, holding that these appointed should, if possible*, have had legislative experience, and possess the confidence of the public. He singled out Mr, Samuel, of New
Plymouth, as an ■oquiaitxon to th» Legislative Council, but holds that generally provincial representation, Ind the population basis, have not been considered in making the appointments. Auckland, he holds, to have been badly treated, with but one country representative, and considers that the selection made presents another strong argument id favour of an elective system.
