Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, NOV. 27, 1902. The General Election.

The worry of the election is over, and in a few days more all will resume the even tenor of their work. To Liberals, joy has come in the again overwhelming support accorded to the Rt. Hon. Mr Seddon, the Premier. The poll has completely falsified the many dangerous statements put abroad by the Opposition to damage his character and that of the Colony. It is made abundantly manifest that the People trust their Leader, and have joyfully, and almost unanimously, returned him for a further term of three years. This is as it should be. There can be no fight without gains and losses on both sides and we, in this Manawatu electorate have been wounded, but not killed. Though we have lost the valuable services of Mr John Stevens, which will be more felt in a few months’ time than now, we have managed to show his chief that the southern end of the constituency still strongly support the Government. How Mr Stevens polled so badly at the northern end we cannot explain, but we think he has failed, like so many other politicians, to properly estimate the value of his opposition. The see-saw of political life is nothing new and we are sure Mr Stevens will accept the position and see to it that the next opportunity to retrieve it, will find him prepared for all possibilities. Very great credit is due to Mr Job Vile for the capital fight he has made, which places him in the forefront of po'itical movement in this district. Mr Vile after being in the district only three years secures, by a large majority, from the sitting member his seat, a deed no old politician in the district dared to attempt. The suggestion of the Opposition, and of Mr Pirani, that Mr Vile should retire to enable the said Pirani to secure a three years’ income ■ is shown up in its true absurdity, and Mr Vile is entitled to many thanks for sticking to his guns, and letting the district be represented by a man who adheres to his opinions, than that it should be the football of one who is ready to make so many peculiar and sudden variations in his political opinions. Mr Job Vile, being now the member for Manawatu, will receive the attention and support of the electors until there comes another period of excitement. We understand that Mr Vile has had a large colonial experience, and has been Mayor of the town he resided in before coming to this coast, as well as on public bodies, and if he devotes, as we believe he will, his energies for the advancement of the district he will prove of much use. Without wishing to interfere with existing machinery we cannot yet help feeling that his services on the Manawatu County Council would prove of very great service.

We congratulate all parties on the pleasant, gentlemanly manner the election was conducted, by which the usual dislikejo political con travel’s; has been removed.

Mr James gymons has purchased the property leased by Mr Stewart at the back of the Creamery,

On a review of the voting we find that all south of Rongotea gave Mr John Stevens good majorities, showing the electors approval of the Seddon Government.

Mr John Stevens thanks all those who supported him and trusts his successor may please them. The New Zealand railways will despatch a special passenger from Palmerston at 10.40 a.m. on the Ist and 2nd December for the Feilding races.

It was decided to send him to an inebriate home.

At the Thames the other day, during a thunderstorm a streak of lightning, attracted by the sheath of a plough, passed between two horses attached to the plough, burning their legs severely burst to atoms four puriri posts standing in the line of fire, and passing on killed a calf instantaneously.

You lose the time and have, the expense of medical attendance, entailing a double loss. This can he avoided by using some reliable remedy at the first stage of sickness.
