Grey, the, candidate who was supposed to be identified
with those objectionable parties, polled within ;
twenty-four of winning, and beat Mr. Sutton on his
groundthe town of Napierby thirteen votes. The
people of Napier, who ought to know Mr. Sutton well,
have expressed their opinion. of him by giving a
majority to his most determined antagonist. The
Wairoa behaved splendidly, and has in consequence
provoked the wrath of our evening contemporary
According to the Telegraph the Wairoa voters aro
essentially topers of the first water, and give their
votes to the man who " shouts " best and oftenest, and

poverty-stricken place, and will soon require a work-
house to provide for its pauper population.
The real explanation of the result of the election
we mean of the moral victory gained by Mr. Bu-
chananconsists in the fact that The middle and
working classes of Napier and of the country districts
are awaking to a true sense of their position, are see-
ing clearly how They have been governed and plu-
dered by a clique, and they wish to free themselves
from a yoke which means poverty and less of self
respect.
