Matters Political
-♦ The following " -political speculations" are published by the Auckland Herald from a Wellington correspondent:—"! hear that Mr Ballance has decided to try for Mr Johnston's seat should he resign it at an early date. Iv political affairs there is very little gossip, but rumour asserts that Mr Stoat will probably yield to the pressure of hi* friend-*, and come forward at the next general election. Mr Wakefield is also tolerably certain to get in, either for Geraldine or Timaru, whilst Messrs Donald Reid and Ormond are likely to be candidates. Ia talking with a prominent man, wh> is opposed to the present Ministry, he expressed a Strong hope that Mr Swanson would come back again, and that Mr J. M. Clark and Mr Reader Wood would be among the Auckland contingent, as he thought our men wanted more backbone. He believed that the seats for both Mr Rolleston and Major Atkinson are unsafe now, and will be more so before the next election."
