The remit of the polling at Exeter, which took place

on Monday, was as follows :—Sir E. Vincent (Unionist), 4,030; Mr. A. Bright (Radical), 3,371; Unionist majority, 659. The polling strength of the constituency is now about 7,500. In 1992 and 1895 the late Member, Sir Stafford Northcote, was respectively opposed by Mr. A. E. Dunn and Mr. A. S. Hogg, and in those years his majorities were 555 and 494. The election was fought almost solely on the question of the policy of the Government in South Africa.
