MINISTERIAL CHANGES.
Rumoured Retirement of Hon. Duncan.
A rumour reaches us (says the Western Star) that a change in the personnel of the Ministry is in contemplation in the immediate future. It is understood that the Hon. T. Y. Duncan is to relinquish the portfolio of Minister of Lands, and to be elevated to the Upper House. This will cause a vacancy in the Lower House for the Oamaru seat, for which Messrs Mitchell (editor of the Mail) and Brown, whom Air Duncan defeated at the last election, will in all probability become candidates. Contingent on these changes it may come about that the Premier will take over the Lands and release the portfolio of Education, the new Minister to have that department.
