Political Notes.

CLIPPED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

Speaking in the King's Theatre, at Christchurch, on Monday night. Mr L. M. lsitt paid a high tnbite to Mr D. McLaren, M.P., the Uhonr rncmbor of the House, # saymg lie was a man any constituency could he proud of. Mr Luke ana the speaker and Mr McLaren were the only Independents in the House. The Government might 'be a faulty Government, but the people had sent it thare. There was nevar a Government which was not full oi faults. But this Government had its virtues. It had given New Zenland all it had in the way pi Liberal legislation and Labour iegislation. ft had (settled the people oti the land. It had done all tiris in tho teeth of the Opposition. Tta fault was that it was weak and vacillating and composed of opportunists. It hiad the character: sties of all polticians. No political ieaclor would champion measure which he knew would unseat his party and mean his political extinction. Tho Government put out its foolers liko a snail, ami when it touched something; solid it drew tliom linok. When .remonstrntwl with tho Government retortod thnt a, living <hg was better than a lion.

Mr Divo, who opposes the Hon. T. MoKonzie for Egmont olectorate, romarkofl (in a snooch deivered tin's weok) that although Tio ?nvo. the Government ovory credit for some vnoA lo.ci.slalion thov hnA pass°d, his opponent had Imd no+h'Titr +o r?o with it. His opinion of tho Ministry "bofore he joined it was ns follows : "Wβ have a. ivifit now wTnVh mnv be one thine to-Hv, and to-morrow. traders to-d;'v nnd nro+ /, r v fir)Tn't;+-; fomoriwv.
