MR ISITT'S POSITION.
Mr L. M. IsiUfc must have little respect for tllie mitetagence of t'hie electors when he asks them to believe that 3ie ha:, mot absolutely surrendered his independence as a politician. H© shows either an amazing simplicity or a complete indlifffeirence to paib•lic sentiment when, he explains that his presence -at the Government caucus was due to the desire of an ardent liberal to express an opinlion, as to wihiat might be done. lit may be true that Mr Isitt was invited to be present at the caucus. If he had' any respect far tihe dignity of his- posi>tion, (however, or a tame sense of the fitness oif .things,, foe would, as an independemfc member, have politely refused the invitation. It is too late now to '.makevexplanatstonfi .or apologies. Mr Isitt has deliberately branded himself a. follower oif Sir Joseph Ward, ana he must be prepared to take all' the consequences of his action. •
