Tun hero of the hour, the hour m which the Opposition carried the elections, ipst bp llrlManoe, ana yet already this unfortunate hero is beginning to be grilled by tlie patriots who have fought the elections under l)is name, ' The following extract from the colipns qf qur lopal cqntemporary shows thai Mr Bitllpoo's lot, like the policeman's, is not a happy one:— The Opposition may be considered to have dono splendidly in tho elections, considering tho disadvantages under which thojr went to the country. Their numbers will perhaps be reduced upon careful! analysis, but stilt they arc very strong, Only one man is wanted to nuke them victorious, and that 0110 a leader. Only a very strong man can hold the party together, and consolidate forces which will at first be difficult to work in team, Judging by past experience Mr Ballaneo emphatically will not do, though tho probability is jig will lie chosen agiiiii, W(j had thought that for a month or two at least the patriots would have been contented to allow Mr John Ballanoe to lead while they underwent a littlo political tvalmng to tit them to fill liia shoes, but no, the strongman must bo put in the lead ut once, and poor old Ballance must go between tho shafts and pull to tho crack cf tlio patriot whip, These red hpt mtripts are all born leader?, and would tab command pf t|ip (%pel fleet to-morrow Ifnepdp Wfoop Mr Ballar.ce, to win the battle, and then lobe hustled off the stage by his. own footsoldiers, by the men who have been proud hitherto to black his boots, his lot indeed is not a happy one I J'nor Mr Mlance I the only man amongst them with any knowledge, any experience, any reputation, and Jie to'be told emphatically' that |)g .yojj't do, I,t is like the dirty boy iu the gutter ovaef;ing tlijj big pqliooman to move on.
