THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN VICTORIA.
DEPARTURE OF SIR JULIUS VOGEL FOR ENGLAND. THE FINANCES AND RAILWAYS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. MELBOURNE. Wednesday. The political speeches made last night gave the first intimation of a probable coalition between the Constitutionalists and the Liberals. Mr Gillies, speaking at Echuca, denounced the ingratitude of the Government, with whom he declared he would henceforth have no tie. The feeling of the country, lie said, was in favor of a strong Government capable of practical legislation, and composed of reasonable men in a position to sink party differences and reunite iv national work. He hoped a modus vivendi "would be discovered, and pledged himself to efforts in the direction indicated if elected. Mr Graham Berry spoke at Geelong, and aunounced that he would defend tho Education Act against all assailants. He denounced the Education Tariff Commissions. One portion of his speech "was somewhat ambiguous, but it is
believed that he is not adverse to a coalition with the Constitutionalists. The number of Ministerial candidates announced for the general election is comparatively small, and it is generally considered certain that the Government will bo defeated. Sir Julius Y'ogel is a passenger for London by the Sorata, which sailed to-day.
