On eiotion of Mr. R. W. IdoKensie,
siosonded by Mr. Jaa. McNair, Mr. Jus.

Mr. F. W. Johnstou was the first
speaker, and said it afforded hiiu plow-

the kcal press he had got that position at
the hands of his friends in the Council.
During his incumbency of tam he had
tried to do his duty. As warden of

ed if • proper schedule was repaired
there would be no difficulty in getting
the County Council to te.ke hold of the
matter. On the railway question be had
last year thought it poesible to get in a
competitive line, but at the present time
he did not think it probable that • line
would oome here. He went into •
lengthy discuasion of the question and
raised every objection possible to the
building of • new road. He contended.
there was no business here of sufficient
importers* to lad** • line to soon ; if
a Ines were but at all it would have to
be all built by Godursch, for the town-
ships would give nothing ; and if built it
would soon be gobbled up by some other
lines ; and other jereelia& equally woe-
ful He was o i the Present occasion ap-
posed for the reeveship by or. Mete and
was sorry fur it. He had thought of TO -
tiring from the reeve•hip this year, but
when mews Campbell and Hutchison re-
tired he thought it devolved upon him to
remain at the post sa that three 'green"
mien would not gotothe County Council.
If mr. Platt had cante to him and asked
hen to retire in his favor he would have
stepped down in his favor, for mr. Platt
would make a god County Councillor.
He (ar. Johnston) was now before the
ratepayers for re-election and if they
thought he had done his duty, and was
the beet man for the position,they should
elect him; otherwise they should elect
or. Platt.
Mayor Horton, on coming forward to
address the ratepayers was well reoeiv-

been a cromparatively uneventful one.
