Mr. Vollet. When the work got going, it seemed as if all present were entitled to the honor, and it will not be far from the truth if we say the nomination became a kindiof farce. Not half of those nam- ed had any desire to run for the office, and it wouldn’t be hard to believe that some of the pr osed candidates would take very tle interest in town -v--- matters, evgn if they were elected. This kind of tom foolery is carried too far in the election of representatives on the Council Board, and the town has sometimes to suffer the indignity of putting up with a representative, who obtained his position as a mere lark on the part of a bunch of thought- less and indifferent electors. \Vhat we wanton the Council Board is a: number of intelligent and honest men. The man against whom there is a doubt as to his executive ability, should not be set up and supposted as a rep- resentative of the people in any responsible position. There’s too much nonsense in all these minor elections. just as there is too much corruption in all the larger ones. The following nominamon: made: For Mayor,â€"â€"A. S. Hunter? Saunders, Geo.
