Sladen found himself in a hopeless situation, since he was a member of the upper house at a time when it was increasingly accepted that the leader of the government must come from the Assembly — he is the only member of the Council ever to serve as Premier.

Following the resolution of the Darling grant crisis, he stepped down in July, and in September he retired from the Council.
