Wellington Election
» . . (per press association.) Wellington, This Day. The followers of Mr McLean are betraying increased boldness as the convincing day draws near. Until recently betting was in favor of Bell, but yesterday and to-day a marked change of affairs j appears. Slight odds on Bell are being ! readily accepted. It is said one wager of £150 to £100 was laid. The betting is now practically even, and McLean's supporters are extremely confident. Bell's friends, however, are eager for the poll. Mr McLean's explanation of how be obtained the figures about the taxation of certain properties is that he took the Government return . published in 1889, and worked oiit the calculations himself. They appear to have come approximately correct in some respects, but in others Mr Bell does not admit their accuracy.
