"VERY ROSY FOR REFORM.":

POSITION IN WESTLAND. (By Telegraph— Bpecial Correspondent.) Hokitika, July 28. The victory at Greyinouth has fairly intoxicated the members and officials of the Federation of Labour and the narrow confines of tho Grey electorate will not be able to hold them. Indeed, they eyes on Westland already and Mr? W. T. Mills, who is mentioned as a possible Federation Labour candidate for the » e-stland seat, is advertised to speak at Kumara at an early date. Of course, tho Liberals of Westland will welcome their new-found friends. A triangular contest I in Westland next election seems inevitable. -What is left of so-called Liberalism got a big shock at the Grey, and all tho Opposition papers aro feverishly anxious for the formation of Liberal leagues, ctc. The Grerr electorate is not the olny place where the Reform cause is making good- progress. Westland has its sturdy branch of tho Reform League and Government newspapers, and is really the of the Reform movement on the West Coast, and there is a very strong probability of the Westland seat eoiner to the Government at the next polls. The moral victory in the Grey has given great impetus to the movement, and everythinp is looking very rosy for Reform in' West land, and indeed, the whole West Coast.
