Otago Elections Report From The Witness Date Summary
Otago notes from The Witness recount rapid party shifts in the southern provinces. In Dunedin two new MPs were elected, E. M Glas han and Thomas Dickave, replacing a former member who did not run. The stafford ministry faced anti party gains and continued contests. The volunteer movement moves slowly due to local council delays while ammunition supplies rise for Taranaki settlers. The Provincial Council unanimously offers relief under the General Assembly act, yet acceptance is uncertain.
