THE GENERAL ELECTION.
There was not a great deal of excitement in liotorua over the election yesterday though the fact that a total number of 30j votes were recorded out of about 340 on the roll is a proof that keen interest Was taken in it. The following are the returns that have come to hand. Heebies. Kelly. liotorua . . 117 188 Taupo . . . . 22 21 Tauranga . . 204 239 Maketu .. 9 19 Te Puke . . 79 104 Matata .. ..

Other results so far as received are as follows:
Auckland : Thompson, G., Holland G.. Crowther, O. Parnell: Lawry, G. Manukau : O'Korke, G. Franklin : Massey, O. Ohineniuri: Caduian, G. Eden i Bollard, O. Dunedin : Scobio Mackenzie, 0., Fish 0., Pinkerton, G.
Wellington : Hutchinson, G., Stout 0.. Fisher, G. Hawkes Bay: Russell, 0. Kaiapoi: Moore, O, Taranaki : Brown, O. Brace : Allen. 0. Taieri: Cairncross, G. Tuapeka: Larnach, G. Waipawa : Hunter, O. Geraldine: Flatraan, G. Patea; Hutchinson, O. Waikouaiti: Allen, G. Avon : Tauner, G. Westlaud : Seddon.G. Palmorston . Piraui. I.
Several of these returns are incomplete but it is improbable that they will affect the result.
The following is the result of the licensing poll so far as obtainable.
