The mayorally election was a great surprise to very many. Mr, Craig had reason to expect the support of the electatate, and such a support»: would have given him the office to which he aspired.

The story that he thought $1 was enough for any workingman was re peated again and again, minus the explanation which Mr. Craig made on nomination day and which showed that he had never given currency to the idea which was credited to him. The " coal combine" story was also revived, and the story that he was the representative of the merchant class, the class that passed as the superior of the chass to which -- Mr: MeFarlane belonged. This man, who was so eminently fitted for the waydralty, however, has been rejected, and he has accepted gracefully the decision of the people His manly speech, thanking those who had supported and voted for him, hafl the right ring.
