«..., -J 1— " ' - "'■ " was, however, at no time* eft habitation, because there was the desire* that nothing should occur during his absence from Eng land which should tend to cast suspicion upon tho virtue of his wii'o or to indicate that tho marriage had really taken place. Subsequently, however, Mr Shortland hoard through his wife that the parents had dis covered that the maYriagt) had taken place in consequence of the paragraph which ap peared in the Dartmouth paper, and then letters followed from Mr Shortland to Mi- Dimes explaining the circumstances of tho wedding, and return letters came from the deceased, in which she suggested that all was happy and comfortable at home, and re marked, " Yon must go on ns you have said," moaning that he was to go on to New Zealand, adding, "My mother is quito comfortable, and my father not angry at all. He has never said a word to mc about it." In each' letter, however, she said that " the timo is going vory slowly. I am very lonely and vory dull." With regard to the circumstances under which Mrs Shortland met her death, Mr Shortland has repeatedly asserted that the absence of all marks of struggle in the pond, or in the locality of the pond, disapproves tho theory of .incident and the suggestion of suicide. Ho declines to hazard any theory as to the cause of death, but says ho has been struck by the fact that tho body was found upright in the water. Upon this he wants to know if the body was found sus pended in the water, what point did tho body start from, where the footmarks, and where the evidence of struggle. If it was a murder, where wero tho marks of tho body ever having touched the ground ? We understand that in Mr Shortland's opinion the chloroform theory would best be recon ciled with tho circumstances under which tho deceased met her death. Tho first time Mr Shortland heard anything of chloroform was, wo understand, whon he saw an allusion to its possible use in ono of the daily papers, and it struck him at tho timo vory acutely indeed. Assuming that chloroform was administered, Mr Shortland considers, wo are told, that it would account for tho position in which the body was found, he being strongly of opinion that tho body was floated from tho banks. Mr Short land, however, is afraid that tho police have so blundered that thoy havo lot tho turn go by for tracing down the chloroform theory. He reasons,we understand, in this way: Tho body was thirty-eight hours in the water, and no doctor was callod until the Dartmouth surgoon was summoned at the inquest. The Dimos called in no doctor at all, and no nurse was summoned to tho house. We believe that it would havo been said in defence that Mr Shortland never went out of Ryder's houso from tho first time ho went into concealment. Whon tho double gates were closed he took exercise in tho yard, but he denies that he ever went ont into the lane, or that he ever went into the fields at the rear of the building, which he could only havo gained by first walking into the lano and then re-eiitering tho gates above leading into tho tannery department. During the time Mr Short land was in concealment he spent his hours (n writing a pamphlet entitled " Tho Five Worst English Land Laws." This is shortly, St is reported, to be publishod by Murray, and we understand that Mr Shortland has .expressed a hope that tho police will derive edification from tho perusal of documents which are wrapt in legal nicotics and techni calities. __________

The latter vehicle was occupied by Dr. Stallard, of Otahuhu, and bis driver, but they escaped with no more injury than a few bruises. Both buggies, however, were baely broken, though the horses were unhurt. The occurrence is suid to havo been a pure mishap. Of course the topers will say it was water and not the whisky that did it. A man named Daniel Liddie, found drowned in Wellington harbour on Sunday last, was drunk when last seen alive on Saturday night. Tho coroner's jui-y returned an open verdict. A case of attempted incendiarism at Nelson has been discovered and frustrated.

THE GENERAL ELECTIONS.

From 9 o'clock this morning tho election excitement which has run riot throughout the country during the past weok or so attained its climax, and as we go to press the result which will elate so many and carry dismay to the breasts of others is being rapidly consummated at the poll. Over all the country, from North to South and from Bast to West, tho preliminary sporadic warfare of electioneer ing has developed into that silent but decisive battle of the ballot, whose issue is awaited with anxiety alike by candidate., and parties. In city and suburbs all busi ness occupations seom to be'absolutely sus pended for tho day. Crowds of people throng the streets, and electioneer ing agents rush madly hither and thither in the search for voters, while all sorts of vehicles seem to havo been im pressed into the service of the several candi dates. Not only aro all tho cabs, buggies, and drags to bo obtained on hire enlisted, but tradesmen are employing their modest traps and merchants their smart equipages for tho benefit of tho mon whom thoy support. Tho consequence is that here a few smug individuals may be seen borne off to the poll in a baker's cart or an expressman's waggon, whilo there some of the 'orny-'anded and grimy sons of toil aro dashing off to tho same destination in a showy four - wheeler navigated by a liveried driver. Very few election squibs and skits aro noticeable, and absolutely none of those Haring posters which, in all tho pride of coloured inks and startling characters, used to encourage or warn tho doubtful elector on his way to tho place of voting. Tho absence of these things in no way detracts from tho excito ment folt in tho elections. On no previous occasion of tho kind has public in terest beon so generally engaged in thorn, and so well sustained. This is largoly ac counted for by tho fact that many estab lishments—and particularly tho drapery ones—havo beon closed for the day, or at any rate tho latter portion of it, and that in three constituencies at least, viz., City West, Newton, and Parnell, tho contest is being waged between power ful parties who relax no oxertion to bring every voter to tho poll. Wo civo under their various headings particulars of tho elections in each of the city nnd suburban electorates : — CITY WEST. Tho election excitement in this district runs more highly than in any other in Auck land, and it is seldom indeed that a contest is more keenly fought. Messrs W. Swanson and J. M. Dargavillo aro the candidates. From a comparatively early hour, in the foionoon, the neighbourhood of St. James's Hall, whore tho polling is taking place, was thronged with tho partisans of either place, and scarcely had tho doors of tho booth opened than tho stream of voters commenced, and continued throughout the day. Between five and six hundred votes had been recorded up till noon, but it was impossible to toll who had tho advantage. Both sides claimed an advantage. The keenness of tho light was evidonced by the numbor of vehicles brought into requisition, and tho large committees working on either side. Apart from the candidates themselves, wonderful goodfeelingwasshown between tho partisans of either candidate, an immense amount of electioneering " spouting" was indulged in, and the claims of the two aspirants to parliamentary honours freely discussed. Some vory amusing cartoons, evidently prepared with a view to influencing tho views of the frco and indopondant, wero on exhibition during tho day. Ono of these emanated from the Dargavillo camp, and represented Mr Swanson ns a rat endeavouring to climb a pole, on the summit of which Mr Darga villo was seated. -The artist had, sug gestively enough, further represented Mr Dargavillo as " kite-Hying." The response from the Swanson camp was equally good. It portrayed Mr Dargaville as an immense inflated balloon, which Mr Swanson was in the act of pricking with the view of allow ing the gas to escape. Other amusing squibs and cartoons were being circulated in the vicinity of tho booth. Some very amusing scenes occurred at intervals. On one occasion, a party of voters arrived in a cab and wero leaving tho vehicle, whon the driver drew from it an article of child's un derclothing. The point of the joke was somewhat obscure, but the discovery cre ated a great deal of fun. Mr Francis was the Returning Officer, and it may bo added that few individuals were moro impressed with the awful importance and majesty that should hedge a Returning Officer than he. It is perhapsonly natural that the extreme dignity of the position which he has chosen to fill should have obscured his sense of courtesy and civility; consequently, those individuals who, like our reporter, were sufferers through his officiousness, will forgiva him, remembering that such an op portunity is only afforded him once in three years. Mr E. Carr is Mr Swanson's scrutineer, while Mr Hodge acts in a similar capacity for Mr Dargaville. The poll clerks aro Messrs Brannigan and Bortrand, The poll closes at six o'clock, and the result will bs announced soon afterwards.

CITY NORTH.

The Candidates in this district aro Mr Thomas Thompson nnd Mr Joseph Now mau, and the popularity of tho former gen tleman appears to render the contest rather onesided. There has been no want of in terest in this election, although it is looked upon as a moral for Air Thompson. Up till noon, exactly 500 votes had been recorded, and of these it was assorted that Mr Thomp son had a majority of more than 200. The temperance party are working hard to secure tho return of Mr Newman, who is also the Government candidate, but wagers of three, four, apd five to one were being laid in the vicinity of the polling booth during tl>o day that' ho Would not bo successful, Mr S. y, Collins is officiating as Returning Officer, Messrs Jagger and Wrigley as scrutineers for Mr Thompson, while Messrs Matthpws and Buddie aro performing a similar duty for Mr Newman. Thg poll clerks are Messrs Timothy Howard and Thomas Chambers. The Temperance Hall is the polling booth, and the rpsult of the ballot will probably be declared there ahout seyen o'clook this evenipg,

PARNELL

Considerable interest attaches to the contest for the Parnell seat. The candi dates, Messrs F. J. Moss and Seymour T. George, being each supported by powerful arrays Qf friends, and it is believed'that the result will be remarkably close, The polling places in the district are Parnell Hall, Manukau Road (principal); St. Sepulchre's School-room, and -tho Nowmarket Hall, The chief centre of attraction was of course the Parnell Hall, in the vicinity of which tho ever busy committeemen of the rival candidates worked hard—ioljs and pencils in hand, while vehicles of every description, from the "swell" familycarriagewithliveried coachmen and footmen to tho modest grocer's cart, were called into requisition to con vey the "free and independent" to the poll. Mr Lodge, the Returning Olfioer, presides at Parnell Hall. Mr Robertshaw is Mr George's scrutineer, and Mr Bruce performs a similar duty for Mr Moss. Challenging was pretty frequent, though at one of the polling booths the formula adopted by the Deputy Returning Officer was scarcely in accordance with the strict letter of the Act.

NEWTON.

At nine* o'clock there was a largo assem blage of voters at Ponsonby Hall. Mr Pea cock's Committee-room was at the side of the Hall, ' Ort the front street ; Mr Dp Lautour's Committee-room in a shop lower down the street. There was quite a crush for upwards of an hour, and many tieople, unable to stay longer left without recording their votes, the impression being that voting arrangements were not as perfect as they might have been.' Mr Hulmo was Return ing Officer, Mr D. B. McDonald acting as fecrutineei' for Mr Peacock, and Mr James Spry foi' Mr De Lautour. Mr Gossett aciied as poll clerk for Mr Peacock, and R. E. Graham for Mr Do Lautour. Up to noon it was thought that those who had polled were chiefly supporters of Mr Peacock, but \n the afternoon there was a considerable rush of the supporters of Mr De Lautour; and though in the morning the friends of' the fprmer' were jubilant with anticipations of ' success, Mr De Lautour's ;friendp gajned confidence as the day adyanped.

EDEN.

At first the chances wero that a close triangular duel would be fought out in this electorate between the late member, Mr. Tole, who champions the Grey cause, and Messrs. C, Atkin and A. O'Neill, who put up in the Ministerial interest. The reluct: ant retirement of Mr. Atkip, however, nar rowed down the contest considerably, and also rendered the issue less doubtful by in troducing an element of disunion into the Ministerial camp. Mi.- Tole was strong enough before to withstand- ppposition, but

now it is felt that he is irrestible. Al hough, _thcret'oro, his party are working with the confident hope of victory, and his opponents with tho discouraging fooling that their clforts arc powerless to affect a foregone conclusion, there is no lack of interest and of feeling in tho contest. It is of course most largely concentrated in and around the Excelsior Hall in Upper Pitt street, which is the principal poling place, but it is observable also in Eden Terrace, Mount Eden and Mount Albert. Mr. J. A. Beale U tho principal Returning Officer."

WAITEMATA.

1 ho polling in this constituency was not remarkable tor any exhibition ofdinusual excitement, it being generally acoppted as a foregone conclusion that Mr Hurst wolud win easily. One or two of his supporters, however, expressed anxiety because of tho possibility that this circumstance would cause people to neglect recording their votes. Tho principal polling place was the Devon port Hall, whero Mr Thomas Seaman acted as returning officer ; Messrs Percival and Dixon as poll clerks, and Captain Had dock wns scrutineer on behalf of Mr Farnall. Mr Hurst had no scrutineer. The total number of the Waitemata roll was '2_!S7, and of these 900 were eligible to record their votes at Dcvonport. Of the latter number, ISO had voted before two o'clock, leaving over 700 votes to bo exor cised during the afternoon.

FRANKLYN NORTH.

In this large and scattered electorate a stern and desperate contest is being waged between candidates whoso opposition has become quito historic. Major Harris, the lato member and present competitor in the Groyito interest, has hitherto hold the seat against nil comers. On each successive oc casion, however, that he has battled for senatorial honours, the issue has been closer, and the chances arc that this timo it will bo extremely keen. Mr. W. F. Buckland, tho Ministerial candidate, [seems, Antieus-liko, to rise invigorated from each fresh over throw, and he is now fighting with the con fidence engendered by a sedulous and suc cessful electoral campaign. His opponents, however, aro equally confident, and Sir George Grey at Otahuhu and at Howick has brought to bear tho weight of his in llucnco in their favour. Strong committees nro formed in each district tor the rival candidates, and a powerful effort is being put forth on both sides to poll every elector on tho roll. About 100 voters wore taken out from town to record their votes nt Otahuhu. Tho Otahuhu Public Hall, of course, is tho contrc of intorest, and the heart of the excitement; but at tho School houses of Dury, Mangaro, Maraetai, Otara, Papakura Valley, Turanga, Waihoke, and Woodside, tho Papakura Courthouse, tho Howick Public Library, and the Wairoa South Public Hall, there is also excitement no less active if it lacks numerical strength. Mr W. Shannglian is the Chiof Returning Officer.

MANUKAU.

A-determined struggle is being carried on throughout this constituency between Sir George Maurice O'Rorke and Mr. Frank Lawry, Tho former gentleman lights at an advantage through his prestige us Speaker of the lato Houso of Representatives, and his rocord of 2o years' uninterrupted poli tical service in the interests of tho major portion of the district. Mr. Lawry, how ever, has worked sedulously in support of his candidature ever since a dissolution was first mooted, and if his chances of success are not so great as those of his opponent, ho will make the running just a trifle warm. The contest is progressing very vigorously at Onclmn"a, whore the Courthouso serves as the polling station, and at Panmure, where tho Public Hall is the centre of attraction. The Remuera Social Hall, tho Epsom Hall, and the old Railway Station building, Newmarket, are also beset with eager electors, and active bodies of skir mishing electioneering agents. Both sides arc exerting themsolvos with energy, and v spirit of good humour predominates. Mr. G. P. O'Callaghan is the principal Return ing Officer.

WESTERN MAORI DISTRICT.

About foi ty natives at Maugatantari, who intended voting forTe Wheoro, mistook the day, and therefore did not voto. Tho fol lowing is tho result of tho poll here for tho Western Maori electoral district:—Henaro Kaihau, 44; Jlamiora Mangakahia, 0; Mita Karaka, 0; Meiha Kapu, 3:l'uko To Ao, 47 ; Wotore Te Rerenga, 9 ; Meiha To Wheoro, 1 ; Hirini Taiwhanga, 2.

Tho result of the polling for tho Western Maori Electoral District, hold in the Court house at Te Aroha yestorday, was as fol lows:-For Major Wiromu To Wheorn, 0 votes. No votes recorded for any of the other candidates.

MR DE LAUTOUR AT PONSONBY HALL.

Tho Ponsonby Hall was crowded last evening on tho occasion of an address to tho electors of tho district by Mr Do Lautour.—Mr C. S. Wright was voted to tho chair, and briefly introduced tho speaker of the evening. Ho referred to tho candidate as a man ot ability, and one whom they might bo well proud of.—Mr Dk LAUTjOUßwasreceivedwithloudapplauso. He referred to the threo previous battles which ho had fought and won, and went on to state that he was now about to fight the battle of the land for the peoplo with the weapons of honesty and truth. Ho referred to the disastrous effects of a great public debt like that in New Zealand, and quoted figures to show the remarkable advance in the colony's indebtedness. He explained at length the nature of Treasury and de ficiency bills. He admitted that tho Grey Government when in oilice had been powerless for good, but contended that if: left tho public oxchoquer £00,000 richer than when it took offico, while the Atkinson administration had rapidly increased the public liabilities. He compared Sir Julius Vogel's eulogy of Major Atkinson's finan cing abilities some years ago with the attack recently made by Sir Julius Vogel upon the Prcmjer. The speaker then went on to deal with the question of insurance fund investments, and said that in all pases it would bo found that eventually tho bonds would really havo to bo redeemed and tho rotes passed by thp flouse, becauso the Government at tho timo bad riot tho coiirago of ita owp copyictiops. Tho effect of these loans would be that railways and works which, under ordinary circum. stances would not be undertaken first, would get preference, and t|id colony would in the end be compelled to undertake their main tenance. They knew the lines that divided them, although one paper tried to mix it all up and select one man from one side and another man from another, while the other consistently maintained one side; he took the other. He pointed out in what respopt the Liberal platform diyided them from thp Government party, and held that so far as the property tax was concerned it was true enough that the tax was paid on monoy, but it was charged on goods,, and eventually fell upon tho consumer. It was also so in the case of money-lending, the borrower being compelled to pay all charges. Tho speaker argued at some length on the desirability of a land tax versus property tax. In con clusion, he said he never knew all his bad points, until he came here, But some of his friends told him that his strong points bad been picked out for attack. It was said ho was a Papist, but he was only a Papist insofar that ho was opposed to distinctions of creed. Then he was attacked by the Star people-bocause of his connection with tho East Coast Land Company, [A voice ,• "Oh, the newspaper people will do any thing for a drink."] No, he did not think so. The Star men wore not bad people at all, butthey had to go asoircumstances directed. (Cheers.) He was going to lot them Into a delicious little secret, but they would not give him a chance. Mr Brett was, and still is, one of tho largest shareholders in tho country in that land company, and ono might imagine his delectation as he read night after night th<_so attacks on his com pany. But he was an old pressmah him self, and knew how these things were done. He asked who led the van against giving large estates at Patetere, Piako, Murimotu, and elsewhere. It was himself, And when the East Coast Company was formed to remove tho rapacity for native lands, he lent it his support. Gisborne testified to tho support of the Company. By the Articles of Association they did not purchase one acre of land, but paid the cost of surveys,' and brought the land into the' market for the purchase by the highest bidder. They preserved thp land for 'the native rape, and for the last eighteen months the shareholders' had not received jmy. djvidpnd. 'It was' the men who had beep thwarted in land-shark specu lations' who fought against them. News : papers there-had been subsided to crusji himself, ahdthose who worked against him. j\tl& he was satisfied that men who had iyritten libellous articles against him were able to shake hands with hit)}, and adipit thijt they had donp vfrong befgre they went before the great judge of all. >He thought they should not he diyided tjy; issue ofta personal character. . They had no war with capita), apd. would leaye it free to encourage lqcal industries.. Mr Pc Lfjutpur concluded yritb ■an eloquent peroration..

MR GARRARD AT THE WHAU.

Another burlesque meeting in connection with Mr Garrard's can iidature for Newton took place at Avondale Inst evening. The erudite William George having amused a large audience for an hour or so, his efforts wore rewarded by a vote of confidence.
