Unity Against Division
The desire of Ministers to get to the constituencies as early as possible is natural enough. The Reformers, to begin with aro much better prepared for an appeal to the electors than are the other likely parties to the fray. The Labourites, of course, always-are ready for an'election, keeping themselves before the public year, in and year out ; but a, session of Parliament offers them, many opportunities for advertising themselves and their wares, and knowing the value of publicity they,will be in.no hurry to get away from Wellington: The Nationalists and the Uniteds still are coquetting with one another and with the conconstituencies, and at the moment seem-to be in no particular hurry about anything. Sir Joseph Ward, who still, it seems, may describe himself with propriety as the “Party of One,” only left London on his return journey yesterday and cannot take his seat in the House before the end of next month. Obviously the Reformers’ game is to act while the other parties are thinking of doing so.
