ELECTION REGRETS.
Ncxft that the excitement and shock occasioned by the second ballots are over, one may be pardoned for referring to some regrettalble incidents in. the concluding hours- of the campaign. Tihe speecheisi made by several of the defeated candidates were in' such execrable taste that they can only be attributed, to a temporary mental aberration.. None the lessundignified was tihe demonstration made in Wellington against tihe Prime Minister. Common decency should have dictated that the chief cjiizeni in the kind was entitled to respect, if not to 'decorous treatment. That he should have been denied both, says very little for eitlier the ./intelligence or the chivalry of tno Wellington, public. As the festive season) approaches, it is to be' hoped that the heartburnings and bitterness engendered' by political strife will be forgotten.
