THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

(BY TKI.KUIiAPII.-SPICCIAL RKPOHTEK.)

AViM.u.NcriiN, this day. HOW SIR JULIUS VOGEI. WAS SENT FOR. Tiik report wired you late yesterday after noon that tho Governor liad sent for Mr Ormond, and that ho had recommended His Excellency to summon Sir Julius Vogol, was Konera "y current amongst lead ing mombora of tho House, and was ac copted as accurate It requires, however, somomodilieution. Tho interview between Mr Ormond and tho Governor took place in tho morning, and was Raid to havo been of a personal rather than of ii public char acter, although, no doubt, His Excellency elicited Mr Ormond's opinion on tho political situation. Whatever transpired at this iutorviow, tho substantial fact was confirmed. .About 7 o'clock in the evening Sir Julius Vogel tecoivcd a sum mons to wait upon His Excellency at Government Houso this morning at eleven. It is further known that Mr Ormond hud two or thvco consultations with SivJ. Yo;;cl during.the day, and that there is overy prospect of them working in harmony. Mv Ormond, who says ho has no strong desire for olliee, has, it is said, waived any claim to the Premiership, and is not likely to take any portfolio, not being in sympathy with the party.

Will Vogel lie ATjIo to Form a Ministry ?

There is, I believe, no possibility of a union between Vogel and Grey, and thoro is no chance of Atkinson coining into tho coalition. Mr Ormond has no personal fol lowing, and untoss Vogcl could detach some of tho Grey or Atkinson supporters, it is doubtful whether ho can get a stable Ministry. Tho members most likoly to be won over are tho four West Const members, who all possess decided Grey sym pathies, but are chiefly bent upon securing the'Chrii'tchuroh West Coast Railway, to which Vogol has committed hitrmolf. The estimates made by the Government of this lino show that it will cost from £10,000 to £10,000 per mile, involving altogether an outlay of upwards of a million and a-hnlf storling, and passing for most part through barren mountains, across which coal, tho only produce to bo conveyed, Mould never pasH—colliers being much tho cheapest. 1 question if any Government could-obtain tho consent ct tho liouse to this work as a public undertaking. lr. is, however, pro niaturo to.-ipociilato on the strength of the Vogel party at this stage. Tho Effect on Auckland District. It is of moro interest to know how Auckland wiil faro. All tho Auckland members woro chosen either as supporters of Major Atkinson or Sir George Grey, and if neither side coalesce with vogol, Auck land may ligure rather badly; but of this moro anon.

A VOGEL MINISTRY TO BE FORMED.

Vl ELLINGTON', 1 p.m. Sir Julius Yogcl has undertaken to form a ministry, lfo is now closeted with Air Stout. Particulars of the Intorvlow. Sir Julius Vosrol JJwont to lmvo his inter view with tho Governor at eleven o'clock to day, and returned at half-past twelve. The Governor asked him if ho Mas prepared to form a Ministry, and Sir Julius Yugcl signified acceptance) of tho task. Imme diately after returning from Government Houso, he was* closeted with Mr fcjlout, and i« now engaged Cabinet-making". Who Will Form tlio New Cabinet? Meanwhile most people about tho Houso aro similarly employed on their own account. It is taken as certain that Mr Ormond will not accept oilice, although he may give tho now Ministry a general support. Sir Cico. Grey and party also, it is believed, will refuse to entertain any overtures. From Otago, the choice of Ministers settles upon Messrs Stout ami Mac andrew, or Mr Barron — probably tho two former. From Canterbury Sir Julius Vogol and Mr llichardson, or Mr Waketield —probably the last-named. From Welling ton—Mr Ballance is certain. This would leavo two portfolios to till, and tho names of Dr. Pollen, and Mesara Hurst, Pargaville, Morris, and Moss arc mentioned as those from whom Sir Julius Vogel will endeavour to make a choice. Of those, Dr. Pollen, who is not in Welling ton yet, is considered likely to bo tho most accessible. A Formidable Opposition. Tho strength of the Atkinson party is reckoned as thirty-five certain, and lirey fifteen. If these hold together and enter opposition, tho new Ministry must bo in minority, and would soon be put out. There is always a chance, how ever, that the Government in oilico may gather strongth, and that a number of members will be disposed to give them an opportunity of carrying on public business. On the other hand, there are all tho risks of the loss in the Cabinet making through dis appointed expectations. Probable Failure of Vogclism. The Vogel party has relaxed considerably in enthusiasm since arrival hero, but those members who gave hustings pledges in his favour will no doubt feel bound to continue tosupport him, and many South Island mem bers consider he will advance their interests. The prevalent opinion at present, however, is that Mr Ormond adheres to his deter mination not to accept a portfolio, as he has already 'declared, Vogel cannot form a a Cabinet commanding a majority in the Houso. Ex-Miulstcrs Cheerful. The late Ministers Eeeni to regard their positions with cheerfulness. Immediately after announcement of resolution, Brycc was observed with his coat oIF, enjoying himself at lawn tennis. Members generally vhile growling about having nothing to do seem making the time pass pleasantly.

MR DICK AND THE LEGISLA TIVE COUNCIL.

(jiY TKLEOK.iPIi— OW>" COIIBBSI'OSUEST.)

DcsEDiN, tliis day. At the presentation of a largely signed ad dieas, mndc to Mr Thomas lick, ex Col onial Secretary, this mo ninjj, requestirg him to re-consider his determination not to accept a seat in the Legislative Council if offered, Mr Donald Reid, as spokesman, pointed out that the.retiring Ministry, though unpopular now in consequence ot the depression, left tho country in a much better position than when they took olficc. Mr Dick, in reply, declined on tho ground that the Council was not the proper sphere for a defeated candidate, and announced his intention, on the first vacancy, of seeking to obtain a seat.
