MUNICIPAL MATTERS•
TWO week. age The Mtar announced
that M. O. CAYMAN was k possible candl•
daft for the mayoralty, and ohne that time
we nave learned that that gerltlman has de-
cided to stand. Of course, Payor W itso.
will have to be taken into account, ellbuld
he desire to keep in the running. but in the
event of his stepping down and nut there is
no doubt that Mr. 0.0.5.305 wotilrl make a
strong Candidate. His previous Municipal
training would be in hie favor, and` the fact
that he is a lawyer would be of considerable
value should complications arise, 5. they
boredom frequently in late years.
In the council we have heard of no change
except that, owing to the injuries rec.btly
sustaino I by Mr. CANTst.ov, by a fall Prem
a ladder. he may not again present himself
to the electors. Mr. CANTIL1 N is an oitl
and experienced councillor and hie retire,
ment will be a distinct lose to the town.
His five colleagues, however, will, we un-
derstand, face the music, and in addition
we have heard the names of N. 11 Swint,
W. C. Goon., (AV,. I'u&Tgr and W. A. Mc -
Km m.ritiortwl. And there may be others.
Tho year 1902 promise, to be a very im•
portant one in the history of the town and
it is to be hoped that the electors will
gather to the nomination on Monday Dalt
and make a *election for the municipal
beard that will be in the interest of the
town and to the benefit of the people.
