The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1882. THE BATTLE OF THE SESSION

In the House yesterday, Mr Montgomery gave notice that on tho ; second reading of the Loan Bill, ho' would move as an amendment that tliei House docs not approvo of the loan proposals of the Government, 1 Major Atkinson prompt]}: took up the challenge, by moving the adjournment of tlie House till to-day, when tlie said Loan Bill will be brought up. Mr MoNTUOMintv has yet to win bis spurs. He is leading a party for the first time, and whether he wins or loses] lie is bound to give battle. . He has challenged the Ministry frankly amifairly. Should he win, there is no mcn)ber of the opposition, more trustworthy to hold office! vVhen votes of wlnt of confidence are decided in : New: Zealand the bulk of the members who compose the House are sorted into two camps. It is known which sido they will! take,! ftnd the only interest felt lis ! in the residuum—in the men who have refused to be sorted and, ticketed,; The latter on such occasions, hold the balance of power, and to a considerable extent they are influenced by one or two broad considerations. :'' For example, atthopresent juncture, tlioy will probably seek to know tlie"names .of tho gentlemen Mr proposes to select as his. colleagues ip the event of his being called,upon to 'form a Ministry. We shall be, very muchsurprised if Mr Montoomlry is pre-' pared to give a satisfactory assujrance on this head, or if without it tlie ' thoughtful residuum will consent to take a leap in the dark. Again 1 , tliei waverera, oven if they be discontented' with the loan proposals of the Government, will want to know- what! the' loan proposals, of Mr Montgomery are, and lie will, we fancy, be! less ready with a policy of his own thdii he' is to criticise Dliftt of his, political opponents, We expect the. issue of the: noconfidence debate to be a victory' for the Government, and that the'only good that will arise 'out. of ; ifcwill be the consolidation of \ the. Opposition parties. Grey with hib tail ni|| st jeelartLfe onoot ' le1 '' Cllie permithiinagaiirto game "heads I win j: !,tails you lose?' To a great degree tho issue is not j one of conversatives and liberals, butt'a' loan scramble between the o orth \ and" Middle Islands. (The North Island, in the loan schedules, is favorably placed, and the defeat of the present administration would be a serious blow, to it generally, and to the : Wairarapa in, particular. If in tlie coming fight any great principle were at stake 1 we might be stirred to enthusiasm! in anticipation of a great debase, ibnt' everybody is well aware that it is a mere wrangle over loaves and : fishes. The fat Middle Island with its trunk line grudges tho lean north a sitriilar advantage,ln the matter of railways our southern friends, though enrolled uirier 'Mr, Montgomerys .liberal flag, are excellent conservatives, : We presume we shall have a weeks' talking, which, while it will not change a single vote,; will give both sides .time! to' manoeuvre their force's, and to influence doubtful votes by arguments more pptentthan;any which will appear!in Hansard, ' v '. s .
