Mr. James Murdoch witnessed the war from a back seat no doubt reâ€" ealling many former battlefields in which he engaged. ‘Mesers Philifi. Ferguson, Leith Rusnell all spoke briefly. Mr. Bye has been in very poor health, but appeared on the platform and gave a few thrusts. He also re ceived a good many and would have received more hadf not respect tor his mlical condition prevatled. _ Mr. Bye a habit of appealing to the hible in a tight place, which appeal was not quite relevant to his auditors. e wered Mr. Melnnis charge of tryâ€" fi: to form a combination by accusing Mac of the same effort Heo ‘didnt knpow" cither how the date got chan«. Another sin of the council was ex tending the time of the collectors‘ roll from 14th to 31st Dec. and giving each eo‘lector g1 more. ‘The reeve signed It for the 1 4th and when next he saw it it was changed to the 31st. Consicter able shufling took place to avoid fathering this charge but Mr John Gardiner‘s quizzing forced the fact that Mr. Mcinnis bad changed it at the suggestion of the clerk, both. and and all being influenced to change it by a petition asking for it The cross Aring over this brought Collee.or Law. reuee to his feet and he was accorded the warmest reception of the day. Ready Irishman that he is, he rattled out a lot in a short time, Justifying his demand ftor "more" on account of a ehan;ed contract from the onre he Mr. Swanston an old munici pal wa: horse, showed up the weakness of the Kmnt vouncil, and the points w ve already spoken of were pretty forcibly dealt with. A transaction of tbe clerk‘s looked irregular and he wanted light: on. Clerk Allan subse uently cleared his skirts much better a:an any of the council. Mr. D. Hunter made a breezy speech and could pick 3 boys from the adjoinâ€" ing school that could show as good results as the present council. In a sarcastic vein, well maintained, he atought the ord council should be clect ed by acclamation to make the dose of medicine more effective. Mr. Hunter is coming to the front as a manicipal debater and if clected will worthily fill the position. Beeve Dickson was on the defensive all day, had been accused of serving personal ends by disposing of bad eedar for good serapers. The Reid and Coutt‘s bridges, the Bently suit, &c., were all explained by him from his stand point to the satisfaction or otherwise it his sympathisers or oppon ents. warden Allan was nominated before retiring took the chance to a resume of County affairs. every man, now and again supported by Councillior Leith however, and his speech showed him to have a good grup of township affairs. He pitched anto them for attempting to smuggie *brough certain things, of trying to eorner him when he had lifted money on his personal order, a common pro ecedure, accused them of illegality in attempting to pass a read allowance to a member of council in exchange for some land, &e., &c. Not so is the Coutts bridge, which is faulty in lay out and construction, mvmg this time that reeve Dickson ws nothing of bridge building &ccording to Swanston, Then ‘"Rasnell Hill" and its devious ways promises to trouble the manicipal ~iznd to the end of the century anyâ€" And so on. Mr. Mcinnis has been almouian Ishmael, his hand against way. This has been described as a monument to the incapacity of past councils in dealing with highway difficulties. The "Reid Bridge," costing $150 when 4 members of the council say Mr. Mcelnnes promised it would be done for fiw is another sin, chiefly placed on ‘s shoulders, though every one allows it is worth the monev, being a creditable job. * The "Bently Law Suit," costing the township over $80(¢¥) when $4 would have settled it at first, is one of the alleged sins of the council, though g'hb!y as Mr. Bye said they would ve been blamed had they thus settled It. Warden Allan w Old timers said there never was such a crowd at a nonimation as last Mcnday saw. The conmodious new hall proved too small to azcommoaate the large mumber who were interested in their civic affairs. The retiring council at their 10 meetiitgmJad a good deal of bickering over various matters, and a plentiful supply of dirty linen had been laid up for nomination day washing. _ > NOMINATIGKS.
