THE BARE MAJORITY.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— :. CORRESPONDENT.] s§| Wellington, Tuesday. " •-. Referring to the deputation that ■waited upon the Prime Minister yesterday, from , the Alliance Convention, the Post «*rs:. i ■ "The main point was the demand for iht power to carry; no license by a hare ma-, jority, and a* to this .it r is noteworthy _ that the spokesmen of the deputation were not merely so loud or so insistent as th« i convention, which passed the resolution. t|j Can it be that the leaders of the move- :v j ment have already begun to realise th? seriousness of their blunder in allowing th« ; | more aggressive spirits of the party to endeavour to commit it to a political cam paign which iis-calculated in direct pro- . - portion to its vigour to handicap the tem-
perance cause at the local option poll ? -- The almost apologetic tone in which the subject was treated yesterday certainly gives colour to this inference."
