THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
SECOND EDITION
[from oue own coeeespondent.J WELLINGTON, October 11. Ministers remain firm, and are determined to leave no stone unturned to place their Liberal measures on the Statute Book, The antagonism between the Auckland members and Mr Macandrew is rapidly gathering force. Independent members, who are more zealous for measures than men, are wavering, but refrain from definitely pledging themselves through the sleepless shepherding of Messrs, Sheehan, Macandrew, and others. It was known yesterday that Tomoana had been got at by Mr Sheehan and the other Maori members, the latter of whom were always badgering Tomoana to demand that tie Maoris and their affairs should be managed by the Maori Ministers, and other things equally impossible to grant. It appears that Tomoana gave a written pledge that he would not leave the Ministry till the present difficulty was over, but ho was got at in the course of the afternoon. It is not quite certain whether the Government have made up their minds to demand a dissolution.
