GISBOENE, this day,

At a meeting of the Liberal Association last evening, Mr W. llo.ss asked leave to postpone bis motion re the conferring of appointments on the supporters of the party in power. After discussion, the motion was deferred for a month, the mover saying that be knew it would be strongly opposed, and be wished to be fully prepared to support what he advocated, but had inadvertently left his' notes at home. Members who spoke resented it being made to appear that the Association supported a proposal that had not yet come on for discussion, and the president spoke in strong terms of the way in which the matter bad been taken up in other parts of the colony.

The question of a Town Clock also came ' Up. The president (Mr Joyce) said that the clock was provided for in the plan, but not in the contract, and as no other body had taken the matter up the Liberal Association had done so. The only reference to Mr and Mrs Seddon in connection therewith was a jocular allusion to the visit, but he added that he considered :>lr and Mrs Seddon would be worthy of having something of a greater value than* a town clock set up in their honour.
