We record with no small satisfaction the fusion of the
two branches of the Unionist Party brought about by the amal- gamation of the National Conservative Union and the Liberal Unionist Council, and we trust that this amalgamation at the centre will be followed by similar action in the local organiza- tions. This is a moment when concentration of effort, and therefore of organization, on the part of all Unionists is greatly to be desired. We may add our satisfaction at the appoint- ment of Mr. Boraston to be the permanent head of the united organization. Mr. Boraston has all the qualities which go to make a good political organizer. He is not only an expert at his work, but he is essentially a man of moderation and sound sense. Of his personal devotion to the cause of the Union there can be no doubt.
