'Williams and Campbell for the tat Dep- uty Reeveship. At the nomination meeting on Monday Last, the electors who were present had a fair opportunity afforded them of gauging tke merits of the candidate', and a perusal of the re- port of the proceedings m another col- umn of this issue, will give an idea of the calibre of the two men to thou whp had not the privilege of being present at the meeting. Mr. Campbell, who spoke tint on that oocaaion, and who beyond question, ex- ceeded all hu preview platform utter- anoes, so far as fluency was concerned, gave a record of his stewardship during the past year. In bis remarks he did ` not fail to do justice to himself as a pub- lic servant, but be overdid his work slightly when he claimed almost all the credit for many of the benefits which had socrned to the ratepayers. In re- ference to the reduction in the rate of taxation, the efforts to obtain a County House of Refuge, the getting the vote through on the irou bridge, obtaining better securities from the town officials, and creating a town surplus in 1877 (which he said had dwindled away dur- ing his absence from the Council Board), the impression created was that there was no need for any other person to be elected to the Town or County Council but the speaker. Even Mr. Johnston's able assistance during the past year was ignored, but perhaps that was dune be- cause our worthy Reeve had sounded "his own prairies" loudly and stoutly almost immediately before. "I did it, gentlemen, and don't forget it," seemed to stand out boldly in his utterances upon public matters, and it seemed al- most a pleasure to Learn that one vice in a gathering of sixteen in our Town nafaction of all concerned. The follow Council, and one vuice in a meeting of ing nominations were made: POR MAYOL -forty-seven in the County Council Was Horace Horton, was proposed by so a11 -powerful eel potent of in- W.

In a 'crowing tore meth these latter would be importaut factors, but as Gods - rich had er tuaately, not pre as mush as�ts inbahitants would luere liked during the past sew years, these systems were perhaps a little in advance of its absolute requirements, and it would be ealy prudent for the people to bide their time. The working of the Council during the peat year had been of a most harmonious nature. He thanked the Council of 1881 tor the aseut- anc, they had given him in carry- ing onthe public business, for in all his long municipal experience he had never witnessed so much unanimity of feeling in the interest of the towii, as had been evinced during the pad year. True, Goderich had nut made great ad- vancement, nevertheless she had been 'jugular!, free from calamities of a seri- uua nature, and her people had many blessings to thank Providence for. He ouncluded by wishing the ratepayers a awry Christman and a happy and pros - pewees New Year. (Loud and prolong- ed applause.) Gamic on Wednesday indulged in' one 4 his boiMereas outbreaks, when Judge Cox ordered him to be removed to the prisoner's dirck.

Hereafter the voluble and im- pudent fellow will be treated as au ordi • nary criminal 1 would not like to see Mr Williams left out of the Council. "— W a. Campbell - THE Christmas week cif 1881 will long be remembered for its mildness. The thinest scum of ice had not been formed on the harbor, and en December 27th the steamer "Despatch." from Georgian Bay, entered port by moonlight in weather as triadas that 0 the latter part of an ordinary September. The singing of birds, the highway cow nibhling the green grass growing on the aide streets, and the cheerful clacking 0 the hens laying their Easter (7) eggs, assert the mildness of the lesson.

During the past sea- son the Minister of Public Works had visited Goderich and had been loyally received by the town representatives, irrespective of party politics.

Continuing, he said that he had been four times deputy - reeve and once reeve, and had only been opposed twice, which showed that the people appreciated his service*. In the County Council he was on some of the most important committees, such as the Equalization and the Gaol and Court House committee, and was chairman of Campbell had spoken so well of him it the latter.

The iron bridtbe was the moat important question which had come before the County Council during the past year. it had at first been vie- lent}y opposed, and had been defeated in committee, but he and (then had cau- cused and talked the matter over, and when it was brought before the Council pro , the motion to build an iron 11, Campbell, the next speaker, ap- peared befors the el•.`turs t., give au sa oouut of he stewardship.
