The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1885. THE MASTERTON SCHOOL ELECTION.

At least two hundred and fifty persons voted at the school election last evening and recorded tho unprecedented number of 1697 votes. There were fifteen canclidites, five of whom came forward as the advocates of the existing central school and five as the champions of a second uhooli The five supernumerary candidates only received 71 votes out of the 1697, so that the issue lay between the two teams of five each. •■ Both aides mayfairly claim a'victory..'Tho y opposition party carried-four seats on the.commjttee out of a'even, but.tbVeentrai .polled the largest number o'f'votjs ( 'an<f may claim of liauaeholderrw Mastertbn,.

At a meeting; of the Sohool Committee held subsequently Mr W. Lowes challenged the opposition members to take a poll of the people on t'io question, but thoy very prudently d'jclined to accept this arbitrament. As the element of plumping affects materially the totals of votes, an analysis of voters as well as votes may be of interest, The number of voters were as follows: • CENTRA!
