EerEmoxt presented the battle ground in which most interest was taken however, and the result shows that Reeve Dickson‘s hold on the townâ€" shi-p is of a tangible kind, a majority of 175 not being picked up every day. The charges against him have evi dently been looked upon as more his misfortune than his fault and after this victory, the man who faces "Pete" for the rest of the century must haye some courage. Duncan Hunter has again secured & seat at the Council Board and bcth he and ‘his opponent Mr. Philp, took a good even vote. Mr. ‘Hunter is a growing man and makes a good counâ€" cilman. Mr. McFadden made a bold attempt for the 2nd deputyship, but though well supported at home and fairly well ail over, he has to take 2nd place.
