Commenting on the recent caucus of the Atkinson party the Oamaru Mail says^T-" We do not see hovr they c»n possibly succeed m turning out the Government without the assistance of the parties led by Messrs Montgomery and Ormond, and we are sura that they will not get the support of the Canterbury members unless they will pledge themselves to promote the construction of tho East, and West Coast Railway — a pledge which would be tho cause of their being ejected from their floats hefore they had warmed thorn. Tim fact is, there is not a majority m tho Housin favour of legislation and admiriistrne tion m the interests of the whole colony, whilst there are numinous cliquy anxious to work their own onds. It i» f however, satisfactory to find that only 16 want the Premiership. Th<«se facts afford indications that patriotism and unselfishness nre not y*t quite dead m this" Colony."
