On Thursday, Mr. Hayes Fisher, in addressing his con- stituents
in Fulham, stated that when he saw Mr. Logan approach Mr. Carson, he believed that " Mr. Logan was really going to strike a blow." "If be had behaved in a similar manner and had occupied the Prime Minister's seat, as Mr. Logan did Mr. Balfour's, he would have been treated with much greater violence, and his own party would have said that it served him right for having been guilty of such a dis- courteous action." He added, "Mr. Logan had been guilty of a gross breach of an honourable understanding," in regard to the apology made to the House. It was agreed that Mr. Logan should rise first, and Sir William Walrond, Mr. Marjoribanks, and Mr. Wharton were parties to the arrangement. Sir William Walrond and Mr. Wharton had stated that this was so. If this is tree—and unless Mr. Marjoribanks denies it, it is impossible to doubt that it is so—Mr. Hayes Fisher has very strong ground for thankfulness to Mr. Logan. By behaving worse than his antagonist, Mr. Logan has positively raised Mr. Hayes Fisher's popularity with his constituents and with the political world.
