Holgate and Reeve M. J. Elliatt for office ai Mayor. There was considerable speculation on 1hk outeome fthi conteat, but Mayor Holgate was ne- turned the ultimate victor receiving a majority in ail but one ward with a total majanity ai 47 votes. Mayor Holgate is ta be congrat- ulated on the vote be received which is a pemaonal tnibute ta bis popular- ity among aIl classes ai people ini town, as well air the capable leader- ship and unselfish service be bas rendered tbe municipality wblle a member ai cauncil and latterly as mayor. Aiter being mayor far four years there is generally plenty ai ammuni- tian provided as a result of sucb ad- ministration ta atmr up feeling again the ruling monarch when élection time cames around. But with Mayor Holgate this was nat the case, for bis record as a public servant had been well received and -very often commended by citizens. The only argument offered, which was a lame excuse, was the parrat phrase 1It's time for a change" which did not carry much weight with the electors. vt as ielt by many that Reeve Elliott was ill advised by bis iniends wbo urged bim ta enter the mayor- alty contest at this particular time. Lt must be remembered that citizens, councillors and Mayor Holgate hîm- self allowed Reeve Elliott ta "stand fast"' for four years as reeve, witbout apposition, in order that he might have a second try for the Wardenship which be successfully won lest year. We believe he occupied this position with cansiderable dignity, abiity and acceptance ta the counties. At that tume The Statesman gave Reeve Elliott, as Bawnxanville's sen- ior representative at Counties Coun- cil, unstinting support in bis canteet for the coveted honar. Although flot taking any part whatever in the present conteat ve felt. like many other friende ai Reeve Elliott. that the "local board ai atrategy" who encauraged him into the conteat was a little tao hast3' and premature ta satisiy their own desires at the reeve's expense when only last year their candidate beld the higheat ban- on in tbe gift ai the united counties. No gond purpose was being served the community by tunning out Mayor Holgate this year when thene vas no popular clamor from the electors ion a change and bis tenure ai officé bad met with general satisfaction. Howeyer, Reeve Elliott is stili a young mai and it is hoped bis long municipal experience, good judgment and business ability will not be bast entirely ta this community. He bas been dealt with very kindly by a gen- erous electonate wben be vas given four acclamations and only one con- test in ive years. There can scarcely be said ta be any such tbing as failure for any one who does hie best and keepa on doing it.-Onward. CITIZENS SHOULD ATTEND INAUGURAL MEETING New Councal ta Meet Monday, Januery gth. Now that citizens bave been stirred up about municipal affaire it is hoped tbey will continue ta take an intereat in the town council meetings duning the year. . The inaugural meeting wil be held Monday marning, January 9th at il o'clock wben members will take the declaration ai office. A Stniking Committee will lîkely be nppointed en bring in a report ai Standinir Committees for year at the evening meeting at 8 o'clock.
