Sir W. Fox in the House. —The return of Sir William Fox for Rangitikei under the circumstances is only what was generally expected; the other candidates themselves hardly anticipating any other result from the first. Sir William Fox will have the opportunity of defending the Ministry, and of explaining the acts and purposes of the Native Commission Apart from the value of a vote, no inemberof the Opposition will regret his addition to the strength of the Constitutional party in the House. Not even the vote is lost, for the retired member was on the same side. . The presence of Sir William Fox, together with an unbridled tongue, has always the effect of “hardening ” the opposite party. It is just such a consolidation as this which the Liberal party is most in need of and most cordially welcomes. I —Wanganui Herald.
