the new ceme tery owing as stated by themu to the per- siitent hostility of messrs pearson and isroond they appealed to the electors to 8u8tain them at the coming rnnnicipal elec tions if their coarse was approved of and to rive their decided expression of di6ap proval to the existing hostility if they deemed it derogatory to their general inter ests otherwise to leave the cemetery sup porters at home iu response to this appeal mr storey chairman of tholceme- tery committee was returned ftoivo by aoclamation and at the election on monday messrs henderson fyfe and caiiieron having adopted the following platform of thejjemotery committee as their own were elected as a fall ticket the platform hs published by themselves last week is as follows j 1st wo pledge ourslve to support ihf wholo otthe ouetery property now in the possession of the corporation and in any further cipencu- tnre to proceed no taster than tho reveuuo-dc- the municipal election ofltjto cemetery tioket nostrebt

sale of cemetery plots referred to and to survey only such portions of tho rear part as shall meet the requirements of the people wonts by the election of messrs storey hen- dersonj fyfeyund cameron all supporters of the cemetery project the people of this municipality have spoken ont in the most emphatic and unmistakeable manner jo the enect i that they are and have been in favor of the coarse pursued by the cemetery couii raitteo j that 4 desire that policy continued that they favor the retentionof the whole nineteen acresfor cemetery purposes so that every person desiring a plot may have his or her choice of site nd that the doginthemangerf policy pursued by the opposition members last year was not in the interests ef he public by the defeat of mr isuiond we interpret that the people consider that a paid commissioner of streets and sidewalks is an unnecessary and too expen sive a luxury for a municipality of actons size to enjoy the judgment ia rather harsh on ir tlsmond and is intact almost unjust for though he was the commissioner and re- ceived the pay he was not entirely respon- eible for the creation of the office and it seems unreasonable that he should be com pelled to bear the whole of the censure for the unfortunate arrangement we recom- mend that the new council pursue the course of its twelve predecessors excepting last year and appoint the chairman of the committee on streets and sidewalks its commissioner without pay iug rain storm iu notwithstanding the fadt that it occasion of the annual municipal the rain coutinuedto fail in drenching torrents throughout tho jday i although the weather was of the moat disagreeablo charaotfr the spirits of the munioipal candidates wero apparently undaunted and oner other of them 0ould bo continu ally eoeithurryinkhithiir and yin during hours of polling in quest of voters favorable to himself an i other members of the ticket with which he was identified uuusual interest was osntred iu the elec tion and as wo predicted theisauo was upon the cemetery question an a result nearly tbe whole electorate embraced the privilege of tho munioipal franchise and very few available votes remained uncast rt the close of tbe poll i the policy of the cemetery committee of last year was supported by messrs hen derson fyfe and cameron while messrs pearson ismond and moore interpreted tho wishes of the people as opposed to the actions of litis comjnittce hence their position was pronouueid as iu j opposition to that polioy as a natural consequence there were two clearly defined tickets in the field the supporters of the cemetery representatives worked with a zisal in their candidates interests tmd with a realiza tion that principles of a worthy purpose were at stoke voted unanimously for messrs henderson fyfe and cameron while mr moore having explained himself as willing totiupport tjie cemetery platform in case a majority of its candidates were elected also came in frequently for a vote iu connection therewith on the opposition ticket however the voting was of a more scattered character while the electors very often voted for three two or one of the opposition representatives members of the other party generally came in for a share of the ballot nevertheless it will be seen that mr pearson stands second on tho list with a good threefigure score io his credit this b accounted for more from personal preferences on the part of electors than from sympathy with the poljcy- followed by mr pearson last year and to strengthen this view is the fact that mr ismond bis colleague in last yearls opposition was left out altogether at tbe very foot of the poll a total of one hundred and ninetyone i thboradul taylor at walhrookoa farm on christ mas pay the i wife of b h taylor of ia son-

believe the business of the year will be conducted in a pleasant agreeable and businesslike manner personally would have given us pleasure to have seen mr moore elected and pe would certainly have made a good practical councillor but un fortunately he for some reason became identified with the ticket to which the people generally would not give their sym pathy mr ismoild served the munici pality for three years no doubt to the best of his ability and judgment but tho peoplo have obviously resolved that after a year of such- unusual exeption in building new roads and bidewalks and
