HISTORY OF THE EDEN SEAT.

LONG HELD BY REFORM.

SOME NOTED REPRESENTATIVES.

As the result of the by-election, Eden is to be represented for the first time in 39 years by an opponent of the party known as Reform. Prior to 1887, the electorate had returned the Hon. J. A. Tole, who was Minister of Justice in the Stout-Vogel (Liberal) Ministry of 1884-7, and had held the seat from 1876, a period of 11 years.' On the dissolution of 1887, Mr. Tole offered his services to Newton, and was defeated by Mr. Edward Withy, by a majority of 92. In that general election Sir Edwin (then Mr.) Mitchelson, who had until then sat for Marsden in the Atkinson party’s interest (precursors of Reform), was opposed in Eden by Mr. J. A. Connell, whom he defeated by 883 votes to 459. Mr. Mitchelson continued to represent the district until the end of 1896. That year he stood aside from politics and his place was taken by Mr. John Bollard, who represented Eden from then to the time of his death in March, 1915. Next came Sir James Parr, who has been the elect of the Reformers of the district until now. —Herald.
