Staples, Sharpe and McLean were ex- pected to be candidates for some weeks past and we believe all three have been doing a. little election work. McOannel was talked of by some and it was generally believed tb at his name would be submitted though be ex- pressed no particular desire for the The name of R. .1. Ball, of nanover was never mentioned in our hearing, and it was no little surprise here when a few of the citizens of Hanover came over and nominated him on Monday. As far as we can learn he has not been fishing for the honor, but was brought to the front at the solicatation of his friends who saw in him sufficient mer- it and sufficient ability to represent the Division in the County Council. Now that he is in the field we feel con- fident somehow that he is in the race to win. He is sure of almost solid support of his own town, and besides this he. has many friends and many supporters in the townships interested. Mr. Kirchner, of Hanover was an- other nomnee, but gracefully declined the position and left the crown open for the rest of the candidates, express- . ing it as his desire, however, that Mr. . Ball should be elected, Mr. McKinnon was nominated also but manfully kept his promise to the people and declined to run. Ofthe other four in the field viz. Staples, Sharpe, Me )annel and Mc-' Lean it would he difficult for us to guess the winner, and we have noth- ing to say in particular more than to suggest the advisability of picking out the host and most likely man for the .. transaction of the county business. Every man is not fitted even to be a County Commissioner, and personal feeling or any other considerations should not be an incentive to select incompetent men for political or other responsible positions. All the gentlemen nominated made short addresses and they all promised “if elected to serve the interests of the Division and the County to the best 0t their ability.” Fix-Commissioner, Mc- Kinnon was the last speaker, and made a very good address on theflnan-i cial standing of the county as well as ‘ on matter relating to the House of Re- fuge, against which he voted four times before he became converted to its necessity. He is now much in favor of the Institution. These are the Candidates, and its the duty of the electors to do the rest.
