MR. ALLEN’S OPINION.

THE GOVERNMENT CLEARLY IN

A MINORITY

ABDICATION NECESSARY

Dunedin, Last Night. When interviewed to-night after the results were made known, Mr Jas. Allen said the Government was clearly in a minority and ought not to attempt to carry on the business of the country. He did not think it necessary for him to say anything further at present.

THE PREMIER.

REFUSED A HEARING BY THE CROWD.

“NOT BEATEN YET.”

Wellington, December 15. Sir Joseph Ward appeared before several thousand persons assembled in front of the “limes” Office early this morning. When the Prime Minister stepped to the front of the balcony lie received a very mixed reception. Thousand? cheered and waved their hats, while a loud boo-hooing was maintained. 'file.crowd was not apparently in a bad humour, but seemed out for fun, and would not give the Prime Minister a hearing. After waiting about half an hour, ,Sj,r..'Joseph addressed a number of ladies and gentlemen inside the Times Office. Sir Joseph Ward said he was sure everyone recognised the country had been going through a very strenuous fight for some time past. The returns which had come to hand were not yet final. He was quite prepared to accept the ultimate judgment of the people, but he wanted to make it clear that at the moment of speaking the Ministerial Party was not yet beaten. (Cheers.) He recognised that the closeness of the political parties was going to create a position and feeling of unrest for probably some time. This was quite apparent to him, and he believed to the people generally. It was not his intention to refer in any way to the methods employed during the recent contest. The time was inopportune for so doing, but he was sure his hearers would agree that some of the men on the Government side who had gone down in the fight in different parts had been true to the people, and had done their utmost to carry on the affairs of the country for the benefit of Now Zealand as .well as the particular districts they irepreSented, in a way that reflected the greatest credit upon them. He was very sincere in expressing his sympathy for the men who had fallen in the battle. It looked to him that before another year or so there would be an opportunity given the people to confirm or othenvise what had just been done, as an outcome of what had been placed before them, and unfairly, too, in has opinion. (Applause.) After all the absent voters’ votes had been counted, continued Sir Joseph, and the elections properly completed, he would then be in a position to judge as to the course that should bo taken, but in any case it would be found that he would do the right thing. (Applause.) In a survey of the general position he had come to the opinion that when the elections were completed the Government would have a majority in the House—(applause)— and ,as he believed this would be the case, he wanted to make it clear that the Government would not be deterred in its desire to go on with the important measures in which a great many people were so deeply concerned. In the- course of the next week he would know the position and doubtless the people of this country would know what was the best course to adopt. He did not believe the business of the country would be carried on satisfactorily unless there was a working majority. If neither side had sufficient members in the House to enable the Government to be carried on properly the people of the country would have to decide again, and again if necessary. THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. BRISK VOTING ALL DAY IN WELLINGTON. BEAUTIFUL SUMMER WEATHER. Wellington, December I t. A great deal of interest was taken in the second ballots to-day. r l he voting was brisk all day, and, as on the occasion of the first ballot, the streets were thronged all day. In the evening also groat crowds gathered in front of the various result boards and the proceedings were lively as the returns were posted. The candidates, successful and unsuccessful, addressed the electors from the newspaper offices’ balconies. Beautiful summer weather prevailed all day and evening.

THE DAY IN STRATFORD.

A BIG CROWD WAITS FOR THE RESULTS.

REFORM PARTY ENTHUSIASM

Yesterday the Second Ballots for the thirty seats, which remained undecided after the contests of December 7th, took place, and resulted in many surprises. The interest taken in the results was very keen, and a large crowd assembled in Broadway, to learn the latest news, which was posted up by the “Stratford Evening Post” in Mr Newton King’s machinery window, in Broadway, by courtesy of the Stratford manager, Mr F. W. Webster. The crowd, though largo, was good-humouored and very orderly, and for the most part kept well back from the window, so that a larger number could see the boards on widen the results were posted. Sergeant McNeeley and Constables Bleasel and Mackintosh, were in attendance, but their services .were not seriously required, and no damage was done. Cheers were given as each result appeared, Opposition, enthusiasm at the defeat of Sir John Findlay and the return of Mr. F. M. B. Fisher swelling to its highest. Occasionally when the tide turned for a little while in Ministerial fhv’our, Government men were again hbafd in the front. When lights were filially put out the big crowd dispersed, individual members of it wending their ways homeward, certainly puzzled as; to quite where the country stands 1 , politically.

REFORM PARTY LEADER.

MR. MASSEY TENDERS VOTERS HIS THANKS.

THE PREMIERSHIP

(Per .Press Association.) Auckland, December 14. Groat enthusiasm was displayed by the crowds in. the street watching the election results to-night, the principal items of interest being the defeats of Sir John Findlay and Mr. Fowlds, and the successes of the Opposition. . Mr. Massey adressed the crowd from the “Herald” balcony. “Allow me to thank the people of New Zealand generally, and the people of Auckland particularly, for the generous support accorded to myself and to the party with which I am connected J at the polls to-day. I extend my sincerest gratitude to my fellow-citizens : and fellow-settlers in Parnell and Grey Linn—(cheers) —and to my fel-low-citizens and fellow-settlers in Waitemata and Kaipara.” (Cheers.) A voice: What about the workers? “I thank you for the interpec-' tion,” continued Mr. Massey, “to my ■fellow-workers, to everyone. (Enthusiastic cheers.) When we commenced this campaign I determined, if it were possible, to put up the biggest fight this country had ever seen—(cheers) —and with the enthusiastic assistance of my friends and fellow-citizens and fellow-workers, I have achieved that object—(prolonged cheers, followed by the crowd breaking into an enthusiastic demonstration that for some time prevented Mr. Massey from speaking.) There was some remark in the crowd about the Premiership, and Mr. Massey said: “When the title comes to me, I don’t think you will say 1 have not deserved it.” “When we commenced this campaign,” he continued, “I knew that we had to contend with all influences of political patronage and political expenditure, in many cases with the inr fluence of privately-owned wealth arranged against us, but we have prevailed against all difficulties placed in our way. At the moment there are still many returns to come in, arid I can not say exactly what the position will be. Tiie parties might be evenly balanced, but whatever the position might be, the first aim of my Parliament will be not our interests, but the wishes of the people of New Zealand.”

The huge audience was almost frantically excited and cheered the speaker again and again in a deafening uproar. As many in the vast crowd had been unable to hear Mr. Massey’s first speech, he went by request to the front door of the “Herald” office, and, balanced on a chair, spoke to the audience. Again he thanked the people from the bottom of his heart. “I nave no wish to gloat over the defeat of our opponents,” he said, “but 1 cannot help saying to-night that on account of your support I am now the proudest and happiest man in this Dominion. Your votes are an answer to all the slanders that have been cir- ® culated with regard to my party and to myself, and have proved that you have appreciated the good work—and I say it is good work—that has been done by the Reform Party (Cheers and uproarious applause.) You have shown by vour votes that you are in favour of cleart government. (Cheers.) Whatever may happen during the next two or three months the Ward Government is at an end. The people of the country to-day declared against it and in favour of men who have for years past done their level best for their .fellow citizens. (Cheers.) The first thought of the men who had jyorkod
