DUNEDIN.
Last night. The election to-day excited more interest than any contest for years past. The friends of each candidate were work* ing hard. Dick and Oilirer divided the Good Templar vote, and Macassey is said to hare receired the Catholic vote. Beeves and Bracken were the chosen of the Liberal Association, and received support of Ministerialists. The result, which was declared shortly before six, was as follows:—Dick, 1140; Oliver, 1044; Sterart, 989; Macassey, 744; Reeves, 676; Bracken, 477. There are 3800 names on the roll, and, amidst great uproar, the candidates briefly addressed the electors. The official declaration will be made to-morrow.
W. J. Dyer, W. A. Murray, and W. A. Mosely were to-day nominated for Bruce. The show of hands was in favor of Dyer.
