NAPIER RESULTS.

AN UNSATISFACTORY RESULT. PRIME MINISTER ON THE SITUATION. AN INVITATION TO THE LIBERALS Wellington, Dec. 7. Mr Massey stated to night:— < “It is impossible for me to say that the results of the election have been satisfactory either to the Dominion or to the Government party. The voting in several electorates has been very close, and we cannot say yet what the final results will be. In. some instances the majorities have been under 50, while there are three or four hundred absent voters’ permits to come.

“It seems to me that the results of the election show thb necessity for re construction of parties. The threeparty system cannot possibly be satisfactory in any case, and it is simply folly for the Liberals and Reformers to go on fighting each other when, so far as policy is concerned, there is little or nothing between them. “I cannot predict what may happen when the House meets whether in in the near future or in June next. All I can say is that those who have worked with me in the past, and who have had the good fortune to be returned, will continue to do our duty under any circumstances that may arise.

“There are also several members who are supposed to belong to the Liberal camp who are pledged to oppose any combination of the Liberals and Socialistic Labour; but I cannot say whether the business of Parliament can be satisfactorily carried on under such conditions.

‘ ‘ It may be necessary again to appeal to the country; but there are many forms and ceremonies to be gone through before that can take place. In the meantime we must patiently wait and see what the final figures reveal. “Needless to say I regret the disappearance from the new Parliament of the Speaker and Chairman of Commitees and others who have done splendid work for the Dominion during the last few years.’’
