ORANGEMEN'S PROTEST.
N.S.W. PREMIER'S REPLY.
IMPUGNING THE LOYALTY OF THE STATE. Press Association—Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Thursday, at 9.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, Thursday. Last week the Gitind Lodge of Orangemen of New South Wales passed a resolution protesting against the appointment of Sir Gerald Strickland as Governor of New South Wales, on the ground that he is a Roman Catholic, whereas the population of the State is overwhelmingly Protestant. The resolution was forwarded to the Premier for transmission to the King. Hon. J. MeGowan, Premier, referring to the resolution, said: "I haven't acted, as the Grand Lodge desires, as the medium between them and the King's representative. The Government does not consider such a resolution a proper communication for it to forward to the King's representative, reflecting as it docs upon His Majesty's Prerogative, and impugning the loyalty of the State.
