THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
MR. MASSEY INTERVIEWED,
THE REFORM PARTY.
HAPPY POSITION
(Per Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, May 17.
" Never dn my experience," iremaa-ked Mr Massey, the Reform leader, to a " Herald" representative, " has there been such a wave of feeling against the Government as there is at present, never has there been such keen interest taken in the Reform party, never ihavei there been so many good* men offering themselves as candidates, and never so much goodwill expressed towards <tho Reform Party by all sections! of tho community as' at present. Notwithstanding the fact that Ministers think it necessary to continue abusing and misrepresenting me personally, I think those tactics on the <part of the Ministry aro goodl signs, and 1 hope they will persevere."
"What will happen when the session opens?" Mr Massey was asked.
"The future is on tho lap of the gods," he replied; "but 1 believe that every one of the present Ministers bring me nea,rer tho goal at which I-have, been aimin gfor years* and that is to get all the sane, sensible, and really progressive men on one side of the House and to place all the faddists, fanatics, •and opportunists on the other."
