CAPTAIN RUSSELL'S CRUSADE.
7 .Mr A. W. Hogg, M.H.E., in the course of a recent public address, said : — ".With reference to Captain Eussell, he had no objection to that gentleman stumping the country. He Was doing good by causing people to think for themselves, and he was also laying bare the blemishes of . the Ministry, for no Ministry was perfect. Captain Eussell had a good deal of polish, but it was blacking— not Day and Martin's, but Stout and Newmans. Captain Eussell was an able man, and he believed, a Liberal at heart. He was only an obstructionist when liis interests were affected. The leader- of the Opposition was unfortunately a creature of circumstances, and had he been a 'poor man- he would have been a very .gbdd' and useful Liberal. If Captain Eussell wanted to introduce reforms, let him begin at home in Hawke's Bay, which was threatened by rabbits, and let him introduce; not the natural enemy, but the true enemy of the rabbit, viz.— the small settler. .
