STATE ELECTIONS.

An election suddenly sprung upon the people in the holiday season is calculated to bring about unusual results. It is not therefore surprising that yesterday's con-test falsified anticipations in several in-stances. However on the main issue the electors spoke with an emphasis which can-not be mistaken in support of the Anti-socialistic party in the Legislative Assembly. The Labour party has gained six new seats by the division of its opponents and by the fact that on account of the holidays a gie it numbei of people nero may from then homes In nil seven new member hue boen returned and it ippcais certain lint Ali Hunt (the Ministct of Lands) will be defctted by Mi & A Cookson, thus inul ing the total eight

Hie Alelbourne constituency has been presented lo the Labour party by an un fot turnte contest between two antisocial isis who have no diftercnces in political pnntiplc This result is no1 surprising as previous experience showed that it nas almost inevitable In Gippsland North it seems probable that owing to the same nube a Inborn, candidate will lepiesenl what is largely a rural conslttucncj

Probibly the gi eales t surprise of the election xvos at Hawthorn wheic Mr Swinburne had a very close um against Mi Dawboin, an eleventh horn candidate v>Lvcr_} causes contributed to this besides Hie general factors in the election Mi fa« inhume s friends, did not regard the challenge which nas thrown out to lum as serious and consequently thej ncie ovei eonlielent, ind veij many of them did not

TOTTING THE ANTI-SOCIALISTS

MR. SWINBURNE'S OPINION

When seen last night Mr Swinburne said that he prefencd not to discuss foi the present the position of the Anti socialist partj, or the steps that would piobablj be taken to complete the work of consohdi

tion 'Su 1 liornas Bent must take the initiative," remaiked Air Swinburne

So fur as the generil result of the elec lions was concerned, Mi Swinburne snid that the inciease in the stiength of Hit Labour party might not be without its ad vantages It would doubtless be to the benefit of the Anti socialist paity, he added, for nothing could be of mole assistance m li istening the consolidation of anti socialists into a compact paitj

MR PRENDERGAST » 'The Lnboui party has every îeason to be well pleased at its success,' was the comment of Mr Piendergast, the leader of the Opposition, last night, on the result of the elections He went on to state - "Wo have alwajs maintained that the more our policy is understood in the country dis tirets the gieater wall be the support that we will be hkelj to get fioni those who hint hitherto bttn oi>posed to us It i* veiv gintifjing to bee in this tlection that in the face ot the opposition of the press we have succeeded in winning some ot the country seats, unhiding fluming districts, ind that we went close enough to others

Hie result of the polling proved more sensitional Mr Swinburne s committee vv ere afraid that the holiday a w ould operate agunst their cand dale anl events proved this to be the case When the scrutiny had been completed it was found that Mr Swinburne led bj the narrow majority of six votes Mr Daw bom subsequentlj ha/arded the opinion that if Mr Swin burne xvcre to accept office in a Alinistrj and shortly came before the electors again his majority would be reversed, and he w ould sustain a crushing defeat To this a member of Mi Swinburne s committee replied that the 3 000 odd electors who did not vote would bestir themselves m those circumstances und return Mr Swinburne bv an ov ervv helming majontj

To a large crowd gathered outside the Hawthorn Town hall the leturning officer (Mr J Rrddell) formally declared Mr

Polling throughout the electorate xvas very light, and seemingly little interest was Liken, in Hie election, excepting . in the Northcote and North Fitzroy divisions. Irt Hie former the anti-socialist candidate more than held his own, but in the latter the Labour candidate obtained a large majority of the x'otes. i

Tile distant Shire-hall at Preston having been chosen as the central polling-booth, comparatively few electors were pi osent when the returning officer, Mr. Charles Crispe, declared Mr. Membrey elected by a majority of 280 votes. The_.mcmbcr, in a short address, thanked the eleetois for the confidence they had shown in him by retaining him as their representative.

, J. A. Bold. 1,820 1 W. D. flynn. OS

Judging by the number of voles polled at yesteiday s election for Melbourne, much less interest was Liken than last year, xvhen 2,821 voters attended at the polling-booths. Yesterday the total of votes recorded was only 2,192. There were four candidates Mr. J. A. Boyd, the retiring member, who stood as an independent; Mr. J. F. Hamilton, in the Ministerial inte-rest; Mr. A. Rogers, Labour; and Mr. A. A. M'Donell, Socialist. At the Bourke pollinp-booth the supporters

of the Labour candidate were in a consider-able majority, but in the Lonsdale Ward the favourites all day were Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Boyd. In neither ward had the Socialist candidate many friends. Mr. M'Donell's experience of elections will be a Ead one, as he forfeited his deposit. There was a large attendance at St. Pat-rick's Hall when the returning officer de-clared that Mr. Rogere had won by 113

votes.

In proposing a vote of thanks to the re-turning officer, Mr. Kogers, the successful candidate, who was received with loud cheers, said that he had scored a glorious victory for Labour. He had beaten bricks and mortar. He xvould be faithful to his pledges, and would make things hum for Hie next three years.

Loud cheers alëo greeted Mr. Hamilton, who said that he had met xvith nothing but kindness and good words during the elec-tion campaign.

It was some time before Mr. Boyd could obtain n hearing. The crowd hooted almost every word he s-aid. He had, lie said, Sir Thomas Bent and Mr. Croker to thank for the result. They had both set out with the deliberate inten-tion of giving the seat to the Labour nartv. (Cries of "Humbug" and "Rubbish.") If made no difference having lost the scat. Sir Thomas Bent would not he able to burke Hie inquiry which would have to be made into his financial transactions. (Loud jeers.) He felt confident that the electors would teach Sir Thomas Bent a lesson which he would never forget. # ("Humbug.") He had always stood by his principles. ("You have not got any.")

The poll was officially declared by Mr. John Turner, returning officer, from an up-stairs room of Hie municipal-buildings, there being a large concourse of people present

to hear the result.

Mr. Mackinnon, who was loudly cheered, thanked the electors for having again re-turned him to Parliament with such marked signs of approval. He congratulated his opponent on the fight he had made. (Cheers.) The electors of Prahran had done him (Mr. Mackinnon) great honour in again returning him as their representative. He was not sure, however, that his diffi-culties ended there; but he was certain that .whatever happened in the future, ns regards his political career, he would have a very large number of the people behind him.

(Cheers.)

Mr. M'Curlhy, who was received with cheers, said that his defeat had not been his fault. He had fought the battle of labour as hard and as fcarlesslj' as any man could fight. Some day the workers would leam to stand logethcr. A largo number

of workers were not on the rolls.

A vote of thanks was passed to Hie re-tiring officer, on the motion of Mr. Mac-kinnon, seconded by Mr. M'Carthy, and the mayor of Prahran (Councillor Dobson) subsequently entertained the candidates and a number of their supportera in the mayoral parlour.

Voting at the by-election In October, after Mr.

Bennett's Cotter .. Wishart

At Richmond there was a very poor poll, only 2,728 votes being recorded. Only 550 votes were polled in the two booths Central and South-up to half-past 12 o'clock, but matters brightened up con-siderably during the afternoon. The labour candidate, Mr. 1Î. J. Cotter, secured a sub-stantial majority over the unti-socialisl, Mr. G. \V. Freeman (mayor of Richmond), which caine as rather a surprise, ns Mr. Freeman appeared to have a largo follow-

ing.

The result was announced by the return-ing officer (Mr. II. Tatnall), as early as 8 o'clock, and Mr. E. J. Cotter, in thanking the electors for their support, said Hie result showed that the workers of Rich-mond stood by the decision given nt'thc extraordinary election in October last,.and demonstrated that they intended to~ keep Richmond a labour sent. His opponent had fought a fair and clean fight, for which

he thanked him.

Mr. G. AV. Freeman, in returning thanks to those who voted for him, said he did not take the result as against him person-ally, but against the party whom he repre-sented. He had served them faithfully in the council for 17 years, and lie did not believe that any who vof.d against him held him in disrespect. His party had a right to say whom they thought should be elected ns their lepresentative in Parlia-ment, and he was defeated. He hole no one any ill-will, and bowed lo the decision of the electors. He wished one and all a Happy New Year, and had much pleasure in moving n vote of thanks to the returning officer, which was carried with acclama-

tion.

The voting was considerably lighter than at Hie previous general election. In his op-position to the Scripture in state schools referendum, Mr. Glass, the successful can-didate, gained solid support. Owing to business engagemcntsMnd the short time at his disposal, Mr. Hamilton was not able to get about the constituency as actively as he desired. «..

In returning thanks for his election, Mr. Glass said that he recognised that, in the second Jabour victory in Bendigo Kust, was Hie dawning of democracj' in victoria, ile did not think ,it had been a personal vic-tory, but was rather an endorsement hy-the people of the platform he represented. (Applause.) He believed that the Labour party xvould be the dominant political foice in the new Parliament.- (Applause.) He

knew thal, personally, he had not been all that he ought to hnve been in the eyes of some people, but, politically, he had never made ii slip. (Applause).

Mr. Hamilton, nlio was subjected lo a deal of interruption, said that he had lind no special desire to come out as a candi-date at this election. It was only at the earnest solicitation of many who thought that something should be done in putting forward a candidate against the nominee of the *Labour league. He had had his business to attend'to, and he had not been able to find time to carry out a personal

canvass.
