PILE DRIVING AND POLITICS.
By Telegraph
' From Our Parliamentary Reporter
WELLINGTON, December 6. A comparison, between . pile driving and politics was drawn by Mr T. E. Taylor in speaking on the land question to-day. He stated that the Hon T. MacKenzie had recently driven the first pile of the new W'aiau Bridge. Ho had also driven the first wedge into the ! Liberal Party in connection with the land question by the pro-freehold statement which he made before the ' R.angitikei election. He (Mr Taylor) , hact thought that the Hon. J.A. Millar, ; who was beside Mr M-cKenzie on the platform on that occasion, would have seized anything, if it was only an old railway sleeper (laughter), to reply to the rank Liberal heresy uttered by his [colleague. Mr Millar*was presumably i so staggered by the utterance--that .'he could not have been more dumb if he had been the victim of a railway collision. Mr Millar's subsequent speech • indicated that he has recovered from j any shock that he may have received.
