'"'I had a lotto- from him only a lew days ago, saying he hoped to meet me all well on the 26th. 1 knew him verywell, and was a personal friend, bat, Mr Wilford added, apart from that ho had been in the House for 14 or lo years with Sir Arthur. Ho was a strong partisan on tho floor o; the House, but absolutely impartial when ■in the cliair. His position would be very hard to fill. 'There was-no mail in the House capable, in Mr Wilford.s opinion, of carrying out the duties as he had carried-tliem oat.
