Christchurch Truth, under the heading “Taking a Spell”:—“All the vim has gone nut of the political situation. ihe person who believed that there was going to be a split, and that W. Hall-Jones would grab for office, has faded into the atmosphere, the fable-monger has ceased from troubling, and the public manufacturer of political canards is out of work. Even the little rumor that Hall-Jones intended to retire from office altogether has gone to rest, and nobody appears to care 2d whether it is Mills or Duncan whom Millar and McNab are going to succeed. Why this suddon political aridity ? Why has the speculator ceased from speculating ? Have politics lost their savor ? Are the poepie of this country beginning to get tired of the game now the chief actor is no more ? Or is it merely that the public is taking a long-earned holiday ? It may be so. It is the first chance they have had for fiftoen years.”
