THE WAITEMATA SEAT.
(From Our Special Correspondent). AUCKLAND, Wednes. An unexpected measure of interest was taken in the Waitemata second ballot and the total number of votes polled at the booths from which returns are to hand was slightly in excess of the total recorded at the hrst ballot. Mr Phillips, who obtained a majority of 909 at the first ballot, secured a"lmost the same majority yesterday, viz., 891, and probably it will be 900 when the remaining small returns ""I'rT'his speech after the result was announced, Mr Napier, whilst acknowledging the handsome manner in whicn Mr Phillips personally conducted the contest, charged one or two of his supporters with behaving like larrikins and stooping to unjustifiable slander. He announced his intention of contesting the seat again next election.
