THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
THE FUSION ISSUE. Upon the question of fusion, as upon other aspects of the present political manoeuvres, the Reform Party holds a tactical advantage, as it has the power to defeat th e Government at any moment; but the negotiations so far pursued within the close confines oi the party rooms have shown a very real possibility of anything hut unity if fusion were undertaken upon the tentative terms advanced, Even some of those who have the fusion ideal in view are inclined to the belief that unless a working and workable team is formed from the combined resources of the. two parties any effort at coalescence before the dark clouds begin to clear from the political horizon would be fruitless. It is known, however. that both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition arq ill receipt of disconcertingly frequent communications urging fusion. Whether the pressure of these requests will become irresistible will probably be decided when the attitude of the city business men is officially considered by them. —Wellington correspondent.
