The election yesterday “passed off rpiietly. There was very.little stir during polling hours,' but in the evening matters were a little more lively. The complete returns give Sir E. Stout a majority of C 27. There wAs groat jubilation last night when it was known that Sir Robert would have a majority. At eleven o’clock he addressed tins electors from the window of Stevenson's Hotel, thanked his supporters for returning him with such a large majority, and said it Would always be his aim to do his best for his constituents and advance the welfare of the district and the colony. Sir Robert Was received with loud and continued cheering. Mr O’Regan Was also received with cheers. He thanked those who had voted for him, and said that though he anticipated defeat he did'not’expect to be beaten by stach ar large majority. He announced that he would come forward again at another time, land he spoke rather bitterly of professed friends who had played him false. Mr ReeVes, the late member, who had a difficulty in obtaining U. hearing, also spoke a "few words, expressing his gratification at the return of Sir R. Stout.' He said that he took more interest in this election than ever he had in any of his own. The City Band serenaded both candidates after eleven o’clock, and the streets were pretty lively till an early hour this morning. There was very little disorder, but a great deal of good-natured chaff. Sir R. Stout and Mr Reeves left for Nelson this morning en route for Napier, where Sir Robert Stout is engaged in the Cadman-Eees case!
