N.S.W. ELECTIONS.
DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT. SYDNEY, March 27. Further figures do not materially affect the State poll, but surprises are anticipated when preference has been allotted. Coalition success is assured, but the size of the majority •is a matter for speculation. The Herald says: “It looks as if the Coalition will gain five or more Sqats from Labour. Mr. McGirr will probably be Labour’s most baneful influence, though he won his own seat in Sydney. Evidence of the ruin he has wrought are strewn all over the country. The Government richly deserved its fate.” The Telegraph says: "The uprising of the electors is as noticeable In the country as in the industrial centres and the suburbs of the metropolis. The verdict is one against bribery and extravagance; against the most reckless and incompetent administration that ever ruled the State.”
QUIETEST POLLING DAY ON RECORD. Received March 27, 11.15 p.m. SYDNEY, March 27. The police report that polling day was the most orderly and quiet on record. There is no change in the state of the parties. Counting is proceeding very slowly, as the first preference votes are being checked before the other preference votes are looked into. All members of the Dooley Cabinet retained their seats.
