Three years. ago Local Opt'on was effeated is Clinton by a majority of one hundred and forty-ni're, but on. Monday the majoii ty was the other Way, the bylaw having sixty-two to the good, not suf is eat though to give it the required three-fifths. This is inactive cf the ris'ng tide cf Temperance sentiment hereabouts -so that it will be well, for those direct- ly concerned to read the signs of the 'tines and take heed. Disregard for the l.cense law makes more support- ers of Local Option than apy thing else. Tiie fight being pow over, for g trio of 'years at all events so let any blotted out so that we may alt put our shoulders to the wheal and useret Gln..,, good roads and other progres- sive measures. m Mayor Wiltse was just five votes short of winning the honor for •the fourth time, notwithstanding the fact that he cddn't canvas and ap- peared to be unconcerned as to ttte re- sult. Had he circulated aces town for a couple of days he would in all probability have again boon. the choice of the (lectors. However, with consciousness that ho did his duty he gladly Mires from Hthe '• mayor's chair. C� Mr. Taylor made a strenuous. fight for the honor anis if he devotes the same energy to the performance cf the duties pertaining to the . position he will make a record as one of the best mayors Clinton has ever ha'l. It is expected that under his guidance the council wiz ret off at a good pace and will not grow weary in well doing. For the rceve:$h p Mr. Ford was worthy of a stronger support than he recciped for ho has done good work in the council and to any pro- gressive measure he has always given ,his cor hal support. When Mr. Smyth starts out . to court the free and independent he surprises even the knowing ones by the big vote he obtaine. But then he is a supporter of progre..s combined with progress which must not at all tip this case be confused with'theese- patt;ng. For the council Mr. Paisley polled a handsome vote and it was an on- tirelyp unsolicited .one, ttoo, Hel is booked for one. of the most import- ant chairmanships. • Your Own Uncle Tom Jackson would have had still . more votes f it had been thought ho needed them and give a hundred town boys ...as many votes and in that bunch there would be a Hundred ballots for Tom.
