FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, April 2. Sir John Quick is a candidate for the Speakership of the Federal House. Perth, April 2. Sir John Forrest is disappointed at the • result of tho elections. Only a third qf tho pcoplo voted at Perth and Fremantle, and the results give but a feeble indication of public opinion. Sir John Forrest considers that the election of the Senate on tho basis of one electorate means practically that the election is handed over to the goldfields population. Tho interests of the people are centred in one industry ; hence tho solid vote for frretraders.
