DEC. 28, 1898. M-UUMCIPÂIL NOMINATLOIS. Not in twenty years in this town do we remember a municipal nomination whe n so much indifference was appar- ent as this year. ConsideraAe dificulty was experienccd by a number of can- didates in securing a mover andIsecond er. This extremnity oin the partof some prominent councillors was paiiilully apparant. So desperate Was the situa- tion that in one or two instances nms were actually forgcd to compete fthe nomi nation papers, and but lr ithe "o0ld timers" Who diing- to the " honors7 with 'a tenacitv worthy of any good cause, t he offices would appear f.o hIave gone a..begging. Look at the rmajority of the movers and secondlers.! Yès, scan them loscly.llow many outside of candidates? Where wereý the other prominent business men, the hcavier tax paying citizens, mnen promniùent in the churches, iu-society, in the ianu- facturing industries of the town, lunthe financial institutions, the capita1li1ssthe brainy men, the members of the Board of Trade. the retired gentlemren. the- snccessful business mien ? EYý1îýptJ1ng four or five gentlemen, whlo ierecspccial- ly solicitcd "on the spot"to sigi nominma- tion papers, the movers and second ers are old councillors or candidates. Brer. Gale who gets a monopoly of thnepriut-. ing patronage, for his slavish fidelity was excecdiugly lblpful to bis befeac- tOrs. What would tbiey havýe donc' wizhout his assistance? What ahumiliating- spectacle! Tlu- miliating alike to the towni and to the candidates. Talkabu offices seeking, the men!l Why,tie seeing offies werc not in it with the office seekýers. The men were crazy for the offices. Met aphorically, fhey tumblecd over eachl other to secure them. Loving-ly. they embraced ecd other to become nomyin- ated. "You nominate me and l'Ilget ,you nominated or doit." Poliiiall- why look down over the list; the Con- servatives nImoved" or "scýcosided" 18, times to Liberals l.10. ow nian~y Con servatives nominated Liberals? Why, look to sec. How many Libeerals nom- iuated Conservatives? Look. again.1 Look critically and then say if th1ere wcre no0 politics in evidenice.
