The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1882.

The question whether Sir Arthur Gordon was justified in sending for Sir George Grey depends upon evidence which has been challenged, and may conveniently be put on one side till facts ave more clearly ascertained. The more important question is what will Sir George Grey do now he is sent for and the ball is at hh feet, He has by a compact -with his party surrendered the leadership, of it to Mr Montgomery, and if he keep faith he will have to.advise His Excellency to send for this gentleman. But Sir George will hesitatea good deal before he consents to give up the position of. power in which an accident of an accident has placed him. The Governor has surprised not only the M'-'isterialcamp but the Opposition one

and Sir Gkouqb Grky must be in a dilemma.' He abdicated the -.'leadership at a time when the chance of the Premiership was a remote, one! Will ho be content to follow Mr. Montgomery or will lie find some efceuso for, placing himself in front again. SirGeorge is a luck}' man,' he has not only got the Ministerial party at his mercy, but his own party which has had to snub him lately is also in his hands, Does he hate his friorids or his enemies the more heartily? If.we knew this it might be possibly to indicate what course he will take. •
