The daily papers in.ule a curious mistake in coinnienting extciisively on the smallness of the com. try vote when as a matter of fact they had not got the results from the country. There was no method ptovidid fi.r securing these ro- I urn's md inly uiiul the olhcial aniioiince- nieut was made could these he got at. Xa most of tliesii declara tiona were not made jiitil Tue.-day and aro not yt-t in our possession the actual figures aro not known at time of writing. It was an- ijiiunced that Centre Grey hud only polled 4t>9 votes in favor of I he Act, whereas the vote amounted to 3t)8tl, with a in.ijcnily ill its favor of 2542. If the fii;uris in yi her ridings were RS misleading as ours it would bring the vote up almost to the required Dumber. Moat of our readeis aro f.iiniliar wiih thj returns -is given in the dallies.
