DOUBLE VOTING AT THE WAIRARAPA ELECTION.
(per united press association.)
Mastertok, Dec 13.
The declaration of the poll for North Wairarapa had to be postponed from to-day till noon to-morrow in consequence of double voting, a number of electors having voted for their candidate in the country and then ridden into town and voted again. The double votes must have been numerous, as the Returning Officer has been at work from daylight comparing the rolls, detecting the double votes, and examing the voting papers. The announcement from the hustings has created a great sensation.
