The Шаблон:NZ election link in the newly formed Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorate was hotly contested. Four candidates were nominated: Morris; William Kelly, who had also previously represented the East Coast electorate; George Vesey Stewart, then the owner of the Bay of Plenty Times; and Henry Thomas Rowe, a surveyor and commission agent.[4] Rowe announced his retirement from the contest on 6 December three days out from election day, urging his supporters to vote for Stewart instead.[5] The unofficial results were released the day after the election (Saturday, 10 December) and Morris had a majority of 13 votes over Stewart, with the official declaration to be made on 12 December.[6] This was deferred until 14 December, with Morris ahead by 10 votes.[7] Stewart stood for the Tauranga mayoralty a few months later and was elected the town's first mayor.[8]
