A FRANTIC APPEAL.
When Sir Joseph Ward promised to efface himself if owly the life of his discredited party .might be spared, people thought that he had adopted the- most humiliating course that was possible foU- the leader of a political party. His •successor, however, appears willing to resort to J::!l more deeperatte -measures. Not only is lie prepared to place biansaf unreservedly in the handc of his party; he is wilding to accept rccon'stniction ,retirement, anything so long ay the No-coinficlenoe emotion is defeated. This is .an almost pathetic appeal to tJie waverers. Mr Mackenzie state© emphatically that whether he wins or loses on "the division,, an appeal must be made to the country. He has no 'right whatever to make such a, statement. If ho ,recogni'D:s that die, himself, canmot carry on, it is his duty, as .an honouiraible man, to tender his resignation.'. It has yet to be proved ftibat iMr aVlassey, who leads the strongest party in the House, could nab dp ib-cttar.
