New South Walesa Politico.

Sydney, July 24 Mr Reid, the Premier, bas defeated Sir Henry Parkes by 608 to 468. Mr Bruce Smith, a member of th> late Parkes ministry, in a letter to the Werald } states that six months ago he was interviewed by Mr Reid, when the latter told him he was one of the members Government intended to nominate to the Legislative Council, and asked his views on certain Bills Government were sending to the Council. Mr Smith replied he was willing to accept the sp at, but utterly refused to be politically bound to any policy, and that he must be free to act as his conscience directed. He had not since heard from Mr Reid, and

therefore concluded it was not suited

to Mr Reid's policy to appoint free men. This, he says, is a sample of the Premier's humiliating and degrading ideals of Council reform.

Mr Reid was interviewed, and said he had proposed to appoint Mr Smith because he was a leading freetrader, but as he believed he was opposed to the Government taxation proposals, he considered it was only right, in face of his election pledges, to ascertain his views with respect to the Government programme. Government had scarcely a friend in the Council, and out of fairness to their policy he considered he was perfectly justified in not adding to the strength of the enemy. He J cited the deadlock in New Zealand between the .New Zealand Govern ment and Lord Glasgow over the Council nominations, and Lord Ripon's acknowledgement of the Government's right in appointing supporters. Lord Riipon, far from seeing anything questionable, frankly admitted that Ministers were entitled to increase the number of their supporters, and there by snubbed Lord Glasgow. Mr Keid claims that he would have been unfaithful to his promises if he had Attempted to act otherwise. Both Sir George Dibbg and Sir Henry Parkes, he said, had acted similarly under similar circumstances.

A more disagreeable day for the elections could not possib'y have been selected. The weather was bitterly cold, and showers fell at frequent in tervals. This evening the rain held oflf somewhat. An immense and ex cited throng filled King street, the paint of absorbing interest being the contest for the King Division of Sydney, where Mr Reid, the Premier, gained a victory over Sir Henry Parkes which hardly the most sanguine ex pected to be so decisive. The following Ministerialists were re-elected :—Messrs Reid, Graham, Weddon, Harri?, Hughes, Black, Davis, Law, Wilkes, Clark, Mahoney, Hogue, McGowan (Labor leader), Me-

Millan, Hawthorne, O'Reily, Jones,

Storey, Farnell, Anderson, Cameron, Stevens, Varney, Parkes, McLean, Keild (replacing another Ministeralist at Paddington).

Mr Harvey displaces Mr Martin, a follower of Sir Henry Parkes, in the Bligh Division of Sydney. Mr Me Elhone, a Freetrader, displaces a Ministerialist in the Fitzroy Division. The Opposition gains the Flinders Division, Mr Nelson, a Protectionist, defeating Mr Wise, the sitting mem ber, and the Philip Division, where Mr Meagher, a Protectionist, beat Mr Fowler.

Ministerialists r9-elected are Messrs Knox, Carruthers, Ri?g, Moles worth, Cotton, Smailes, Banister, Thomson, Garrard, Moore, Smith, Hollis, Young

(by a narrow majority). Mr Howarth, a Freetrader, beat Mr Cullen, a Ministerialist, at Willoughly.

Other Ministerialists elected' are- Messrs Fegan, Griffiths, W. Morgan, Cook, Brunckei', Goald, Gillies, New man, Lee, Hayne, Nicholson, Watson,

Affleck and Ball

At Camden Mr Kidd, a Protec tionist, was beaten by Mr Bull, a Free trader, and at Dubbo Mr Phillips, a Freetrader, defeated the sitting mem ber, Mr Morgan, a Protectionist. The following members of the Op position were re elected:—Messrs Sehey, Bonelly, McFarlane, Rose, McKay, Price, Campbell, Oruickshank, Pyers and Sir J. Abbott. At Ashburoham the Protectionists gained the seat, Mr Raymond defeats ing Mr Gardiner. Mr Goodwin, a Freetrader, was elected at Gurmedah. Mr Lonsdale, a Ministerialist, defeated Mr Oopeland. Mr Piddington, a Ministerialist, is leading Sir George Dibbg by 46 at Tamworth^ and only one return, numbering fourtepn votes, has to come in.

The position of parties, including a number of incomplete returns, is not likely to be affected. It is Ministeria lists 67, Opposition 21, Independent 1. Otherwise arranged the returns give 52 Freetraders, 21 Protectionists $ 15 Labor, and 1 Independent.
