His Worship the Mayor, Mr. George Fisher

His Worship the Mayor, Mr. George Fisher, was returned to this high office for the fifth time on the 27th of November, 1895. There was a keen contest for the office, Mr. C. M. Luke, the retiring mayor, being Mr. Fisher's opponent. The poll was the largest in the history of mayoral elections in the City of Wellington, 2176 votes having been recorded, of which 1250 were polled for the successful, and 926 for the unsuccessful candidate. Mr. Fisher was thus returned by a substantial majority of 324 votes. His Worship's career is referred to at length as an ex-Minister of the Crown on page 84.
