thirty-one were applicants for the first time , while with the exception of a few , the remaining twenty-two all had obtained a high place at tlie election last October . Indeed , of the eleven who stand highest on the list , ten need not have polled a single additional vote on
Monday in order to secure places—on the assumption , of course , that tho votes they did poll , wore not cast for any of their rivals , but had been thrown away . The first five candidates were all from London . No . 1 , R . P . E . Deeley , added 124 to his previous credit of 1687 ,
and headed the list with 1811 votes . Shury , with 1655 already to the good , came next with 1753 votes , P . Dyer being third , with 1658 , of which 1301 were brought forward ; H . B . Searlo fourth , with 1654 , of which 1448 were brought forward ; ancl Garstin fifth , his
previous 994 being increased to 1424 . A Kent candidate was sixth in order , with 301 votes from his previous attempt , and 1083 new votes , making a total of 1384 . The seventh , H . Bingham , of London , increased his former total of 1023 votes to 1379 :
and Ceely , another London candidate , was well up with 1347 votes . The ninth in order , E . G . W . J . Taylor , hailed from the East Division of South Africa , and totalled up 1235 votes , 879 of which were brought forward . Colin Bell Sharp , the tenth in order , increased his credit of 850
by 348 , making his total 1198 , and thus secured a place for one of the Bengal candidates . Another colonial candidate , hailing from New Zealand , stood eleventh , with 1118 votes , composed of 428 standing already to his credit , and 690 votes polled on Monday . Nos . 12 , 13 , 14 , and 15 were all
candidates for tho first time , No . 12 ( London ) obtaining 1115 votes , No . 13 ( Somersetshire ) 1113 votes , No . 14 ( South Wales , Western Division ) 1104 , ancl No . 15 ( Dorsetshire ) 1028 votes . No . 16 , from Northamptonshire , had seven to his credit , ancl received further support to the
extent of 1015 votes . No . 17 ( Warwickshire ) had been a candidate at three previous elections , and gained 574 votes . There wero cast for him on Monday 433 additional votes , making his total 1007 . Nos . 18 and 19 , from Cumberland and Westmoreland , and West Yorkshire respectively ,
polled the same number exactly , 1 , 002 votes ; but tho former had been a candidate twice previously , aud had 050 votes to tho good , while the latter was an applicant for the first time . R . T . Taylor , standing twentieth on the list , is from Malta . Ho had a credit of 612 votes , ancl 387 more
were obtained for him on this occasion , raising his total to 999 votes . No . 21 , from South Wales East , was only a few votes behind , the 600 to his credit being increased to 996 . Shapland , of London , stood 22 nd , having previously obtained 344 votes , and on Monday 625 votes , or a total of 969 .
Jepson , who was a candidate last October , but gained no votes , had 961 cast for him at this election , and so scored a success for East Lancashire . Woon , who had 977 votes
to the good , obtained 261 more , and this , with a total of 938 votes , gave a second success to the Province of Kent . The two next , one from Somersetshire and the other from London , w ere candidates for the first time . The former
obtained 927 , and the latter 925 votes . Hutton , of London , tried in October , but only obtained 227 votes . A further 693 , making his total 920 , sufficed to give him the twenty-seventh place . Riley , also a London candidate , came next , with 905 , of which 253 were brought forward
from his previous attempt in October . Allen , of Staffordshire , with 5 to the good , obtained a total of 903 votes . J . Montague H . Mackay , of Devon , with 586 votes from three attempts , obtained further support to the extent of 290 , giving a total of 876 , while King , of West Yorkshire , an
applicant for the first time , brought up the rear of the successful candidates , with 861 votes . Rossiter , of Cheshire , was only a few behind , and Pairman ancl Simmonds , both of London , made each a good fight , the former scoring 822 , and the latter 799 votes . Thenceforward the numbers
diminish rapidly , the sixtieth on the list having only twenty votes ; No . 61 , fourteen ; Nos . 62 and 63 , eleven each ; Nos . 64 and 65 , ten each ; Nos . 66 and 67 , nine eacb ; Nos . 68 and 69 , four each ; Nos . 70 ancl 71 , three each ; No . 72 , one vote ; and Nos .
73 to 77 none whatever . Of the ten candidates who had this one and only chance of success , Gover , No . 1 , though a candidate at six previous elections , only raised his total to 82 : Edmonds . "NTn . f ) hnd fnnr vM ™ •Pnwin his total to 82 ; EdmondsNo . 9 had four votes Perrin
, , ; , No . 34 , had 162 votes ; Atkin , No . 41 , obtained one vote ; and Elders , No . 58 , had 20 votes . All these , therefore , will have their names removed from the list , as they will be over age before the October election comes off . We

think it a pity that people should havo their cases placed on the list if they are not better prepared with support . Where , for instance , can have been the friends of Gover ? What can tbey have been doing , when they can only secure for him 82 votes at seven applications ? The hopes of the
boy and his mother must have been raised to a certain extent , ancl now , after tho lapse of three years and a half , he is nowhere in the contest , while others who work Aviscly ancl well carry their candidates at once . As between
London ancl the Provinces and Districts , we find that the former carried twelve , or one-half of her candidates , while the latter carried nineteen , or rather more than onethird—four of these being from abroad and fifteen at home , We append the list of candidates : —¦
