SYDNEY, This Day.

The "Sydney Morning Herald," in a leader, says: "As the Labour Party has discarded its old ideals, so the workers everywhere arc discarding tho Labour Party. It no longer represents them; it belies tho name it boro when they gave it their allegiance. There is in this State at all events no. longer a Labour Party. What arrogates that title to itself is a coterie grasping at power for tho aggrandisement of one section of thp workers as against all other sections, and in a mistaken sfenso of loyalty to the name of Labour men with naturally nothing but good will "in their hearts allow themselves to be dragooned into what in a country where no privilego is recognised must always bo a hopeless class war. , "Interpreted in its right meaning, this election was not a defeat of Labour, it was a victory—a victory for tho. majority of the people, which is tho samo thing in this country as a majority of the workers." The "Labour Daily," in a leader, says that tho results of the voting afford every reason for tho Labour Party in New South Wales to look forward to tho immediate future with the greatest optimism.. Labour demonstrated on Saturday that it had. consolidated its front during the past eighteen months, so that today it has a united movement prepared to accept an undiluted Labour policy."
