ELLESMERE.
(,Chi*i3tchurch Paper). | Reports from the Ellesmere district •' are very favourable to Mr j J. C. F'reo’s prospects. and it ‘ is already known that the I ■id Itpfci'mci's have "the wind up.” : if wo may use a war saying. The -it j ling memher is. of eo.irec, personally! c: !, i ■med, but his politics arc not, and it is among the small fanners oi the. district in particular that the bib-ral candiidate is receiving substantial support. We think it i.s quite time theEllesmere people had a change. Sir lleatou Rhodes, with all his virtues is a slow sort of politician, and an in- , different statesman. We do not bbe j to see the gravely important portfolio 1 of Defence held, by a negative gentleman, however amiable. As Mr Mas- ■ se.v said the other day, Sir Heaton is j “a quiet gentleman who never makes | a fuss.” There must he numerous occasions when a Minister of the Crown ; is called upon to maxe a fuss. A De- i fence Minister certainly ought to be a, “live wire.”
