DETAILS OF THE POLLING.

OTAGO. OITY OF DUNEDIN. Comparatively inconapicnou* coKcsrn lies . been manifest iv regard to election matters in Dunedin until quite the latter end of this electoral campaign ; but for the last wo2k, at any ' rate, a sort of sudden awakening appeared in 3ast two or three days, culminated in activity last two or three days, culminated in activityof effort — theoretical, practical, and didactic — quite_ equal to that exhibited on any former oreasion of a similar nature. For the City there were soven candidates, as against 12 in 1896; but, although their numerical Ftrengtb. was lee 3 than at the former ejection, the various possibilities were quiW as variously placed in the minds of the " man in the street," the " man in tho kno\Yj" the general

public, ' agyE&he " Gallios," who are more Humeroudfi^&Si /is generally supposed. As is now customary, there were two " tickets *' selected respectively by the opposing organisations. The Opposition (sometimes misnamed " Conservative ") ticket was represented by Mr Scobie Mackenzie, Mr Sligo (the two ex-sitting members), and Mr Haynes, "who has served the city for many years in civic capacity. The " Labour . ticket consisted of Mr J. A. Millar (ex-sitting member), Mr A. R. Barclay, and Mr Arnold.^ Mr Chapman stood entirely "on his own, 1 ' and made an emphatic point of it. Opinions were, of course, multitudinous as to the reBult. The labour organisations .expressed themselves confident of winning the three eeats; it is doubtful if the Oppositior were ever sanguine of securing more than two. The ultimate result came as a complete surprise to the majority of the citizens. One result of the polling for the city had been pretty generally regarded as a certainty— viz., the return of Mr Scobie Mackenzie, — and a. very large section of the prophets of the poll would have been prepared, had the law permitted, to back hyn for first place at heavy odds, notwithstanding the fact tha,t the most urgent entreaty of the "other side" to tho electors was " keep Scobie out at any price." Mr Sligo's chances were also pretty generally held at a premium, while there seemed to be considerable doubt as to the occupant of the third position. Mr Millar and Mr Arnold seemed to be the most favoured of tha remaining aspirants for that parliamentary place, the weight of opinion inclining in favour of the former. For Mr Haynes- and Mr Barclay there was never any serious hope or _ fear, while the chances of Mr Chapman's saving his £10 deposit were considered remarkably small. • During the early part of the jpolling day one would hardly have known that an election was going on, except in the immediate vicinity of the polling booths, although certainly during one's progress through any part of the town one was loaded up with stacks of printed matter, principally relating to the striking out or. otherwise of the celebrated "top line." The only particularly noticeable feature of the morning's performance was*li procession of some 120 wharf labourera, bearing in their forefront the placard used the previous evening at the Garrison Hall by Mr Millar as an object lesson in " how io vote." The weather was, fortunately, fine, and this probably had no inconsiderable effort in adding to the weight of the polling.

The statute relating to corrupt practices had its usual depressing effect on vehicular traffic, and " Shanks' mare" was I;he common method of conveyance of electors to the polling booths. The figures given below in regard to the polling show that, as compared, v/ith last election, it was very heavy. Mr Scobie Mackenzie topped the poll on that occasion with 7316 votes, securing 1106 more than he did yesterday ; while Mr Millar, who comes out on top this year, secured 9007 votes — 1191 more than the top score of last election, and 2305 more than he secured in 1896. The total number of votes polled at this eloction was 43,842, as against 39,933 in 1896. '_ Tho arrangements in connection, with the polling at the various booths throughout the city apparently left nothing to bo desired. There wag no inconvenience experienced by any Voters, and this was particularly noticeable at the principal polling, booth in Bowling street.

Arrangements had been made by Die Olago Daily Time? proprietary to display the refiiills of 'the * election through a limelight medium, on a hoarding opposite their 'office, and for some time before any results came to hand the lower end o? Dowling street and the vicinity began to fill with expectant electors of both sexes : and the crowd continued to grow until, at the hour of the declaration of the City poll, there was collected the largest number of people that has e\er thronged the .Dunedin ptreets. '■ The Timeo limelight was under the management of Mr J{. X. Gordon, and the crowd were kept constantly supplied with mat- i ter for cheers, groans, and exclamations of the usual emphatic and boisterous kind, by the display of various results from foreign electorate?. Proof of the excellence of the polling arrangements made by Sir J. Taylor, the returning officer, and of the efficiency of the various sub-officials connected with the polling, was afforded by the fact that at half-past 10 o'clock the returning officer threw up ono of the lower windows of the Garrison Hall and announced the final result of the City election as follows: — MILLAR 9007 > ARNOLD 8261 BARCLAY 7334Mackenzie-. 6710 Sligo 6399 Haynes 4909 i Chapman .v. v 1222 ' As soon as the enthusiasm consequent upon the announcement somewhat abated, Mr Millar, who was received with renewed cheer 3, said: Ladies and Gentlemen, — Allow me'tri Ihanlt'you most sincerely for the very proud position in which' you have placed me to-day. I had no idea that I had so many friends in Dunedin, as has been shown by the present poll.— (Cheers.) I think that to-day has shown that the Liberal and Labour party are as united as they were in the old days, we used to return the ticket, and I am certain that to-morrow morning, when the friends of the Opposition read the daily papers, a cloud will come over their brows. — (Laughter and cheers, and a Voice: "Give it to them.") I simply have to say this : that •we have fought a fair fight from beginning to end. We have never attempted to throw mud in any shape or form at the other side, and the result to day is shown in the'numbers that have now been put before you. I feel myself that I cannot find words to express my thanks to you ; but I can say that in the future I shall endeavour, as in the past, to study the interests of all my constituents. — (Cheers.) I think, the result shown to-day is a great victory for the Liberal party all over the colony : that it is one that we may . feel proud of. I have now simply to again return you my sincere thanks, and to say I trust I shall deserve the confidence you have placed in me upon this occasion. — (Cheers.) Mr Arnold's appearance at the window wa3 again the signal for "renewed cheering. Ho said :■ Ladies and Gentlemen, — Like my predecessor, I have to thank- you most sincerely for. the number of votes you placed to my record- lo*day.' As a person who stands for the suffrages of the electors of •Dunediu, and who 13 practically little known personally, I~eonsider.it nothing, short of a marvel that I should have received 8000 votes. This shows that -the ■ Labour party, together with the Liberal party of Dunedin, are united. It shows*. further, that they,are_s.atisjfied with the views I have placed before them in my various speeches from the platform ; and I can only cay that I trust the three years' experience I may gain in Parliament will enable me to return to you in such manner that you will be fo Fatisfied with my actions as to renew four confidence in me for a further period.

I not only desire to thank those who have supported me, but especially the committees who .have worked for us three. To their efforts in very large measure is due the result of to-day's election. The press of the city have also been very fair to me, andM desire to thank them -for it. I also feel, with Mr Millar, that there has been very little abuse or ill-feeling between the various candidates, and I think this is as it should be. Let me again thank you for your support, and I assure you that I shall strive to serve not only those who have elected me, but the whole constituency, and the colony of New Zealand as a whole. Mr Barclay was also received with enthusiasm. He said: Ladies and Gentlemen, — Allow me to thanlk you very much for the honourable position in which you have placed me. I feel even more gratified at the success of my principles and my party than at my own personal success. I sincerely trust I shall make you a faithful and unselfish member. I shall always do my very best for every man, woman, and child in my constituency, and I sincerely trust at the end of the tnree years now coming you will be able to say to me that I have performed some useful and good work. I thank you very sincerely once more for the honourable position iv which you have placed me.

All three of the successful candidates 'were repeatedly cheered during their addresses.

Mr Scobie Mackenzie then came forward, and for a considerable time was unable to gain a" hearing. The vast crowd were very apparently divided in the manner of their greeting, and cheers and counter-demonstra-tions occupied several minutes before he could make himself heard. Mr Mackenzie said : Ladies and Gentlemen, — It will be a surprise to you to find me in the role of a defeated candidate : but it is so. Three years ago you thought fit to place me in a very proud position at the head of the poll for this City. I appreciated the honour you then did me. I stand before you as a defeated candidate to-day, and I recognise that the cause is simply a change of public opinion, and in that change I acquiesce. I acknowledge that the fight has been a perfectly fair one, and fairly conducted on both sides. My sole duty is now to thank you, especially my supporters, for the magnificent assistance they have given me, although it was short of what was required to place me in the position of a member for this City. I thank all my supporters and the committees that have worked for me so well, and I have a word also to say for my opponents who have treated me and those associated with me fairly throughout. I sincerely hope the candidates you have placed at the head of the poll will do — as I have done — the best they can for the welfare of this City and for the welfare of the colony of New Zealand. Again I thank you for the position in which you have placed me, which, though not a successful, is still an honourable one.

Mr A. Sligo, who was received with mingled uproar and applause, said : Ladies and Gentlemen, — I have experienced at the hands of my fellow electors of the City of Dunedin the sweets of victory before now, and I accept defeat. What matters it how the fate of an individual goes, whether- he risea or falls. Tho fate of the individual candidate is neither here nor there; it does not matter a straw. I will be perfectly content to stay at home and mind my own business — perfectly content. Ladies and gentlemen, I only hope -that those whom you have elected tonight will do you all tho justice in their power, as I have no doubt they will. I am content to say that in the past I have pursued a perfectly disinterested course. I may not always have been right; no man ever is always right in his judgment, but I have always been honest in it ; and, that being the case, I have nothing to regret in connection with my parliamentary career. I thank the many who have desired my political welfare. I thank all those who have honestly worked to secure my return, and I thank the citizens of Dunedin generally for the favour which they have shown me in the past, and which they have not thought fit to extend to me i • the present time; but I am well content. (Applause.)

Mr Millar then proposed, and Mr Arnold seconded, a vote of thanks to the returning officer.

The following are the details of the polling : —

CAVERSAM. Great interest was taken in the contest for Caversham yesterday. An immense crowd assembled outside the main polling booth, Naumann's Hall, South Dunedin, in ih« evan-

ing, to await the declaration of the two polls, the .first of- which— the result of. the contest between Mr Morrison and Mr Warren — was made about half-past 9 o'clock. When it was announced that Mr Morrison had been returned by the substantial majority of 1106 voles tremendous cheering took place, and it was some time before that gentleman was afforded an opportunity of speaking. Taking advantage of a lull in the cheering,

Mr Morrison said he was proud of the action of the electors, and he thanked them for the votes cast in his favour, which proved that the working man and the working woman were sound in judgment. — JCheers.) They knew the combination and the circumstances he had been fighting against during the last eight or ten days, and they also knew in their hearts that he had been an honest and straightforward representative. — (Renewed cheering.) They had shown by their votes that all a man required to do to retain their confidence and respect was to act in a straightforward manner, and uphold the Liberal party, as he had clone ii> the past. He was proud to represent such a constituency. On behalf of the Liberal party in New Zealand, he thanked them from the bottom of his heart. As far as the Liberal party was concerned, he thought those he was addressing took it as a matter of duty to support them, and he believed that the Liberal Government would be returned by a large -majority at the present election to continue the good work- they had been so long engaged in, which was to legislate in the interests of the workers of this country. On behalf of the Right Hon. Mr Seddon and the Liberal party, he thanked them most heartily and most cordially for the position they had placed him in. — (Cheers.) He had been a faithful "servant in the past, and he would continue so in the future. He wished them to give three hearty cheers for Mr Seddon and the Liberal party.

This was responded to with great \ugour, and Mr Morrison then moved a vote of thanks to the returning officer, Mr T. R. Dodds. Mr Warren said the position he occupied was not an enviable one, but, at the same time, they had all to begin at the bottom of the ladder. Although he had had a severe defeat upon this occasion, his heart and courage were as good as ever. He had made a good fight of it with the time he had had at his disposal. Perhaps on another occasion he might make a better show than he had this time. — (A Voice \ "Never.") To those ladies and gentlemen who had recorded their votes in his favour he had to tender his sincere thanks. He thanked them from the bottom of his heart. They could quite understand the position of a man who, for the first time, came before the electors. On this occasion it had been the means of his becoming known to those in the electorate, and giving the electors an opportunity and the means of expressing their opinion, and that was a great deal. All he could say was that he hoped he would have better luck next time.

A few minutes after the speakers had retired froHi the doorway, from which they had addressed those assembled, a large body of Mr

Morrison's supporters entered the hall and, J -hoisting that gentleman shoulder high, they ' carried him from the building. I The following is a detailed description of the voting: —

Majority for Mr Morrison 1106, to which two . more votes (seamen's) received by the returning officer, have to be added. WAIKOUAITI. I Great activity prevailed throughout the 1 Waikouaiti district yesterday, and the friends j i and supporters of the respective candidates j ! were early in the field, eager, no doubt, to see that not a vote was lost. The arrangements 1 made by Mr Hinchliffe, the returning officer, l at the principal polling booth at Port Chal- I ' niers were most excellent, and left nothing j ' to be desired. From time to" time 'during the ' early part of the day ajarge number of ladies , availed themselves of their electoral privi- j leges, and the Prohibitionparty yere strongly in evidence. The dinner ' hour necessarily 1 brought a large influx of voters) while during I the afternoon the lady friends of the candi- j '• dates .were again strongly in. evidence. Tho j proceedings -throughout were most orderly, | and at 7 p.m. the poll closed and a scrutiny ' took place. The returning officer declared the' result ,of the poll to be as f ollowf : — E. G. Allen,- i 1749 voles ; J. White, 1417 votes. He, there- j , fore, declared Mr Allen duly elected. I i The result of the licensing vote was as fol- ! lows: — For the continuance of licenses, 1163 votes ; for the reduction of licenses, 1065 j voles ; and for no license, 1075. i Tho following is the detailed result of the .

-Mr Allen, addressing the, electors, said li< wished to return his heartfelt thanks for the position in which they had placed hini'Uhafc evening. His majority was 313, but there waj one return to come in, and that was from Merton. That, however, was not likely to affect the result. He took that opportunity* of thanking them very heartily for the honour they had conferred, on him that day. -tAp--plause.) .The people of Port Chalmers ium never turned their backs on him — they had stood by him in . various ways, and in every public ---capacity. In this election there had been very strong opposition arrayed against him, but these strenuous efforts had been carried on against him in a friendly spirit. — (Loud applause.) There had not been one angry word passed between his people and those of tha other side. The result of the election went to show that the working people of Port Chalmers had not only stood by him that day, but also by the existing Government. — (Cheers.) Mr White thanked those who had voted for him. They had put him in an extraordinarily enviable position. Bar Port Chalmers, and he had won. — (Cheers and counter cheers.) In the majority of the polling places he led, but the majority had chosen, .Mr . AUe.n for theirrepresentative, and he. was. content* . During the election he had never, asked, any. man to vote for him — he had. not in any shape or formjrever approached a- single elector of tho district asking him to- vote for- him, except from the platform. — (Cheers.) • -He had entered the contest 10 days ago, and he had polled, as all of them- -would admit, a very" substantial, number of -votes -throughout tho district. — (Cheers.) He" had fought the fight without the slightest animosity in any 6hape or form.' He fought a good fight, and he had been beaten, but he would be back again and contest the same ground on a future occasion. — (Cheers.) He would come down there, and they would send him in at the top of the poll. — (Loud cheering.) One result of the election had been that he had made a host of friends all through the district, and all of them would, as he had said before, see him back again as a candidate for their suffrages. - On the motion 'of Mr White, a vote of thanks to the returning officer was carried. Subsequently, when Mr White was leaving the railway station, a number gathered on ths station and lustily cheered him as the train nioved off.

TAIERI. The complete returns areas follows: — Carncross. Begg Mosgiel 595 326 North Taieri 61 101 Hindon 31 . 13 Wakari ; 91 76 Leith Valley 71 16 Middlemarch 187 ' 108 Brighton 40 55

There was a large gathering of. electors when the Returning Ohicer. (Mr J. S. Kennedy) announced the result. Mr Carncross (who was received with cheers) said this was the proudest moment lie had ever felt in connection with electoral ■matters in tho Taierh They would all recognise that he had had to fight under tryirtgiand difficult conditions, as he hau only been aXJMK to address 10 meetings, while hh opponent had. held 27. One proud thing was that he found the same old supporters round him as he had had since the time when he -first jAood for that electorate. This, he thought, indicated that he had not done anything that he or his supporters need be ashamed of. — (Cheers.) He had nothing to- say^against his opponent. -But there was one matter that would have to be' cleared up, and thai was the matter of the police. It was his- duty to himself and his supporters to get at the bottom of that, and if there was one- tittle of ■ blame that could be laut against him in connection witli xhe matter ho would resign his seat. — (Applause.)' Mr Begg said he had only a few words to ea/. He was perfectly happy and contented. He 'wished to return" his thanks to the large number of electors who had supported him in his candidature, and he had only to say that he had spent a pleasant, six weeks in the Taieri. A vote of thanks to the returning officer closed the proceedings- , MATUARA. The following are tho returns to hand: —
