November 1896 p. 4 cols. G,H. Editorial. 'The Bathurst Convention.' 'The federation movement in Australia would have advanced with greater rapidity and possessed at the present time more inherent vitality had it received more general and popular support . . . It is possible that the Bathurst Convention may kindle or fan the fitful fire and thus supply some additional motive power, and if so it will serve a useful purpose.' |

November 1896 p. 4 cols. E,F. Editorial. 'The Bathurst Convention.' 'It was a demonstration that in the minds of a good many thoughtful people the federation of Australia is a live and burning question . . . [the Convention] was formally designated "The People's Federal Convention." By this title it was supposed to be distinguished from conventions of a more official character, and certainly claimed to be more directly representative of the people.' |
