It was explained to him that the young men desired to build w hall in which their meetings could be conducted, und in which they could engage in gymnastic exer- cises. The cost of the hall was, esti- mated at ubout £100, and a sum of over 260 was niready in hand, of which £250 was in the bank at fixed deposit, Mr. Jenkyn exprewed hia pleasure at hearing this statement, Ho referred to the good work that had been done by the Gordon Club, in Warwick, and expressed a wish that a qualified ine structor might be appointed to take charge of the Thursday night meeting, Jat St. Poul’s, in order that the gym- nastics could be carried out in & systematic, orderly, and profitatte man- ner. | Mesure. B. Roberts, G. Collins, way it may be possi to something like consti thods of government by two partios—a Government party and an Opposition party. At present, Mr. Deakin is at the head of affairs, although ho is the leader of the smallest of the three sections represented there. Mr. Doakin ues will, of course, de ing on of the Tarif Com- reports as long as they can. They will be in no hurry to get_ tho tori issue settled on a definite basis, That is their political “game.” But until it is settlod questions of nee tional importanoo are not likely to te [dealt with in » statasmanlike way. In tha meantime it is interesting to nate that tho ckotion of a member for Echuca, in Victoria, has gone very, de- lckdedly ‘against tho Deakin Government. JAt the gencral olections Mr. Kennedy, 9 Deakinite, who eat in the former Par iament, secured, according to one count fof the ballot, 7630 votes, and Mr, Pal- mer, an Anti-Socialist, obtaine! 7627. Another count, however, gave Mr. Pal- mer a slight lead. ‘The election was jupeet, owing to irregularities, and Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Palmer had again to lectors. The result hi bom as follows :—Palmer, 11,618; Ken- Inedy, 10,431. This gives Mr. Palmer q very’ satisfactory majority of 1137 votes. The Melliourne “Ary thus comnenta on the result :—"There in po mistaking the political significance of the election. Mr. Kennedy had bebind him all the prestigo of Mr. Dvakin, ro- cently retwrnnd with honour from his success in London. Ho was personailly very popular in his own division of the electorate; he had bren in the Federal Parliament for six years, and in the [State Parliament for 11 years previous- ly; he received the undivided mpport of tho Socialists, who preferred him to Mr. Palmer. With all those advantages lho was hopelossly beaten. Tn tho eati- mation of the Anti-Socialiste, of course, ho was objectioable, for the very rea son that ho wai in close association with tho Socialist party, and asked to bo sent back to Parlinmont to work with a Ministry under tho direction and con- trol of that party, Both candidates were prepared to assist in increasing ithe Customs duties according to the di- rection of the last general elcotion, ay that in that respeot thore was no difer- fence botween them. But Mr. Palmor is fa pronounord Anti-Socialist, and is al tached to the numerous party of Vi. orign members who determinedly refuse to axsociato thrmselves with a Ministey which mecepts the support of the Sooial- inte as a return for sorviows rendered. Mr. Deakin once described tho statement lof a Labour lester that the party was “up for sale’ to tho highest political bidder as the most domoralising politi- jeal bargain ever offered. It ia, nevece theless, tho bargain by which his party exits to-day, and the electors of Echuca have, by returning Mr, Palmen with an increase! majority, — exprosged their strong clirapproval of it.
