(Cheers.) In Wellington East Aye have had a very clean and strenuous fight, and I want to thank the m^n and [women who have worked so hard for me. I want to thank thorn from the b6ttom of my heart. lam delighted to find that in Wellington, after so many years, the electors still repose their confidence in me. (Jeering and counting out.) The friends of Labour have been very good to me, and it would bo a shame for you to spoil it" all to-night. It has been the cleanest fight. There has been no mud-slinging, and the press has given us all a fair run in every way. Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you good-night." (Cheers.)
