E^PNSCIPAL ELECTION, jiliihlciphl ElectiotiH. < - Tho prevailing opinion, lust week tlwt our present Reevo would, be unopposed for re-election, baa turn'- ed out to ,bp at fyult. Jit will be. seen in' the- list of' nominees that Mr. John P. Secord is a candidate for that office, in opposition to the Doctor, What-his chances are of success wo di.iro not undcrtalco to prophecy, thoughjwe hav^ no doubt his. personal popularity will insure him a very largo vote. His ser vices in tbo Council the past year, as chairman of the street and -side walk committee,, appear to have given general satisfaction, .and \v-e should be sorry to miss him from the board. He has. not had as much municipal experience as Dr. McGurvin, but he is an active, ener getic man of business, And perhaps quite us capable |of taking charge of-our municipal affairs, providing his own privato business will allow him to devote the necessary time and| -attention.- White . there was no special fault to-be. found with our present Reeve, it might hav; been a graceful net to have re elect ed him for another term without opposition; but as such has nut been, done, we Can only say, let the electors choose their favorite c;indiduto and do tlisir "utmost to elect him. Both aro good men. . TJlo Candidates for Councillors are nuuierous-^-no less than nine being nominated, of whom four are to be chosen. Those actually seek ing election are Messrs. D. D. Christie,.CVS. Smith, H.. J: Hall, James Matthews, Edw. Nicklin and D. Henderson and possibly Mr. Snyder. Messrs. Moore ngd Ryder are reported not in the field, though their names will appear on tho. ballot papers. ,; Messrs Henderson,- IIuH auit Matthews'" have not . yet been in theCouhcil,but they deserve a trial, and if elected, we feel sure they would each prove worthy of the confidence^. Messrs Christie, Smith and Nicfclin, have each served one year, and we know of no tangi ble reason why they should not be re-elected.-' Frim tho six' orjseyen candidates we can scarcely fail- to select four good and capable men for the .next Council.
