THE FEDERAL CONVENTION.
Melbourne, March 15. The question is “ What chance has the Federal Bill of being accepted when it goes to the people i’ : Mr Barton believes when the New South Wales electors becomes familiar with tho measure they will unquestionably vote for it. The Victorian delegates are greatly divided. Sir C. 0. Kingston will recommend tho Constitution to the people of the colony. Sir John Forest is reticent. Sir W. E. Braddou is uot enthusiastic, but as the Convention on the last day accepted his proposal for a guarantee to the States he thinks that he will have no difficulty in showing the islanders that tho Bill on the whole is a reasonable one.
