Commenting on Mr. Wilford's offer in Parliament on Thursday, the "Ofcago Daily Times" refers to the bungling of the fusion negotiations, and says :—"lf each of the parties interested was as sincere as it claims to have been in desiring fusion, it should now frankly acknowledge the occurrence of this bungling. Having done that, it should, instead of indulging ;n unseemly wrangling over the causes of the inability of both parties to seize a great opportunity, address itself to the taskof reopening tlio negotiations. It is satisfactory to see that the Liberals, or tho National Party as perhaps,wo-should now call them, realise that tlie mistake that has been made is not irremediable. Mr. Willord made an offer that, affords an opening Hot a, renewal of .the negotiations. He expresses a disinclination, however, to negotiate .again in the manner that was productive of failure early in tho month. The mass of the electors who are more deeply intcrcsU'd in tho matter than some members seem to Drink would doubtless' prefer that the ■matter were placed in the hands .of persons outside Parliament to whom no imputation of being influenced by self-interest could possibly attach."
