LARGE INCREASES IN ALL THE DISTRICTS.

We are now in a position to publish the final remits as respects the four electorates of Auckland, Eden, Manukau, and Parnell, and comparative returns as compared with tho 1896 census collection. The totals show that the hon. member for Eden, Mr. John Bollard, has the biggest population in his district of any in the colony. Sir George Maurice O'Eorke, member for Manukau, comes in a good second, and Mr. La wry, for Parnell, stands well for third position.
