POLITICAL RUMOURS.
A contemporary says — " Rumour is busy a3 to possible changes in the Cabinet. For instance, it is stated that Mr Seddon will assume the Agent-Geueralship upon the conclusion of Sir W. P. Percival's term in November next. In tbat case, it is considered tbat Mr Ward will take the Premiership, and also retain his present portfolio as Treasurer. Should Sir Patrick Buckley accept the vacant Judgeship, Mr Guinness, it is thought, will join the Ministry, either as Minister for Justice or Attorney General, while Mr Reeves would take a seat in the Upper House. These are some of the rumours that are current." Whatever grain of truth there may be in these rumours, we feel convinced tbat if Mr Seddon gave up the reins of power to accept the position above associated with bis name, the Ministry would collapse like a badly built house of cards, aud we believe Mr Seddon is of the same opinion.
