On Monday evening last the Council Chamber of the Town Hall was well pi filled Wlth anxious rate a r wh p V9 39 0 t m assembled to hear the Council for l a, 1898 give an account. of their stewart- i ci ship, and particularly to see how 3 ti Mayor Calder would handle his case b in the face of a growing opposition ri to him in the discharge of his duties J as the Chief Magistrate of the town. 1 13 Our statement in a recent issue, that l n no serious charges were to be pre- 1 ti ferred against the individual mem- l f, , bers of the Council was confirmed, by l}, the action of the meeting. in allow- l b ing them to be returned by acclamao ‘ c tion, as well as Reeve Sparling, l t, whose nomination was included in a that made by Mr. R. Macfarlane Sr, 'l‘he ch‘ef interest centred in the :1 election for Mayor and in opposition .to Mr. Calder, the name of Mr. Wm. 0 Laidlaw was proposed amidst con- 8 siderable enthusiasm. The time ll having expired. and the time for re- ‘a ceiving nominations being declared'l‘ over, Mr. Laidlaw raised an objection 1 to the proceedings. which he charat- i terized as illegal owing,r to the whole e list of Councillors being nominated l by a ratepayer who had no preperty , in one of the wards. ()n the other 1 hand it was contended that since no ' objeccion had been made until after T the hour had expired, it was prima . facia evidence ofsatisfaction on the part of the ratepayers. i l Mr. lalder in speaking, reviewed; the past year’s work, pointed out: . wherein efforts were made to estabq 3 l‘ish industries, explained his action‘ in connection with the electric light 00., and in soliciting the support of the ratepayers he showed a pardon- able pride in his ambition to hold the , mayoralty asecond term. and that t if re-eiected would retire at the end of 1898. Mr. Laidlaw followed, in a vigor- ous criticism of the Calder adminisxration, and challenged the Council and Ratepayers for a: prece - "t dent in justification of the illegal 7' proceedings of the nomination. The address was Spirited, and the rounds '3 . of applause showed that Mr. Laidlaw d hada good following. At the close however he expressed his desire to ,d withdraw from the contest, rather than run for an office created by an illegal nomination. 1- ll 1‘. But the fun continued and at one time it seemed as if there was more to fellow. The. jangling became general, but settled down aftera time without the aspirants getting into a “scrap.” Over and above the general Jurrmg the stentoriau voice of a well known citizen was heard to tell a member of the Council that he was “crazy." 'l‘hisdiverteil the general attention and for a few minutes the war of words ran high. Both gentlemen, however, left the hall as soon as the wind had passed over. and no calam- ity has since been reported. -- 1'1 n-IJ.‘.. ‘XT DURHAMâ€"~Mayor -- Wm. Calder, \V. Laidlaw. Reeveâ€"Geo.
