RECEPTION TO CAPTAIN

Enthusiastic fleeting. United Press Association — By Electric Teleeraph , Wellington, June 27 A public reception was tendered to-night to Captain Russell, leader of the Opposition, ifl the Opera House, which was crowded to the doors. The Chairman (Mr Aitken) said be had reoeived over forty telegrams and letters from alt parts of the colony, express* log satisfaction at Captain Russell's return. Mr Buchanan, M.H.R , presentedan addreai of welcome to Captain Kuseell on behalf of his supporters m Wellington, It assured Capbaiu Russell of the earnest wish of his supporters to 00-operate -with him m tho important work of insisting upon pure ad ministration, ofjreviving a healthy Byatem of parliamentary procedure m the interests of liberty, and the popular control of publio affairs. Captain Russell, who was aooorded au enthusiastic reception, referred at some length to the question of defence, and dwelt) upon the adviaabkneaa of being prepared to defend our hearths and homes. He specially urged the necessity of organisation, saying that without organisation, however brave our men might be, they would m time of trouble have to give way to any better organised force. The people should insist on a thoroughly organised defence force, with properly trained offioera* New Zealand had the men — all that was wanted was thorough organisation to make the defences of our country effective. He Baid the Opposition would propound their policy when the proper time came. The Opposition was quite prepared to go before the country at once, feeling quite satisfied that they would bo able to defeat the government at the pollß. However, a dissolution just now was an extremely unlikely thing, and he therefore as^ed what waß the use of the Opposition propounding a policy wh ; ch they might not require to carry iuto effect for some time yet. He quoted from speeches by Me Ballance and Mr Reeves to show that the party now m power refuted to deo'are their policy until it aui'ed them. Mr Ueorge Hutchison, Mr Massey, and Mr Lewis also Bpoke. On the motion of Dr Newman a resolu tion was carried, sympathising with Mr Rolleaion m his iljnese, and expressing the hope that he would soon be we'l enough to again fight for the rights of the people m parliament. The meeting concluded with three oheera for Oaptain Eussell.
