THE FEDERAL CONVENTION.
» PROSPECTS OP THE REFERENCE TO THE PEOPLE. OPINIONS OF LEADING MEN. [PBESS ASSOCIATION.] (Received March 15, 10 a.m.) Melbourne, This Day. The question now is, what chance has the Federal Bill of being accepted when it goes to the people ? Mr. Barton believes that when the New South Wales electors become familiar with the measure they will unquestionably vote for it. The Victorian delegates are greatly divided in opinion. Mr. Kingston, Premier of South Australia, will recommend the Constitution to the people of his colony. Sir John Forrest, Premier of West Australia, is reticent. Sir Edward Brad (Jon, Premier of Tasmania, is not enthusiastic, but as the Con-, vention on the last day accepted his proposal for a guarantee to the States he thinks that he will have no difficulty in showing the islanders that the Bill on the whole is a reasonable one.
