A PARTY APPLICATION,
Atthe reception given last evening to the Rev W. G. Parsonson to congratulate him on his election to the presidential chair of the New Zealand Methodist Conference, some remarks made by Mr J. L. Scott created a little surprise. Speaking just after the conclusion of a song, with the refrain, "Truth Shall Deliver Thee," he said he had been struck by the applicability of the words to the state of affairs in Wellington. It was refreshing to find the people protesting against the progress of Tammanyisin, and declaring that truth should deliver New Zealand. It will be remembered that Mr Scott was one of the Railway Commissioners appointed by the present Government, and at the byelection for the City in 1896 was urged to contest the seat in the Liberal interest.
