A coalition success is as-.-:sured, but the size of the majority is a anafter for speculation. The Herald says: "It looks as if the •coalition will gain five or more seats :from Labour. Mr McGirr has probably Vfceen Labour's most baneful influence, *fend though he won his own seat in Sydney the evidences of the ruin he has wrought are strewn all over the country. The Government richly de-.-flerved its fate." The Telegraph says: "The uprising '4if the electors is as noticeable in the •country, as in» the industrial centres and suburbs of the metropolis. The verdict is one against bribery and extravagance, and against the most reckless i*rid "incompetent administration " that .ever ruled the State."
