THE BRUCE ELECTION
to the ‘Star.’] CHRISTCHURCH, April 15. The ‘Lyttelton Times ’ says : The bveeleotion has no very great political significance, but we are pleased on other than party grounds that a seat has fallen to a member of the Liberal Party—firstly, bocause the Opposition needs 'strengthening if Parliament is efficiently to perform its functions,, and secondly, because the victories of Mr Maasey's followers in the three-corneied contests at the General Election give them an unfair preponderance in the new Parliament. The Bruce bys-olection corrects in small measure this injustice, and its result therefore' cannot be regretted by anv fainniaded man, no matter what his politics.
