If there is one fact fnade mere blear than another by the result of Thursday’s election, it is that the Liberal vote in this constituency .is strong enough to overwhelm any possible opposition. It is for the Liberals—and in this term we wish to include every section of tho party—to say whether they will unite and conquer or whether they will remain apart and suffer another defeat.—Lyttelton Times.
