In that way, to use a slang expres- sion, they felt they knew the ropes, but it will be remembered that it, was an apt expression a the late Sir ohn A. MacDonald, that elections and horse races were the most uncertain things in the world, and so specula- tion was rife throughout the day as to who would form the council for 1031. The srumining tip of the votes with the evening closing hour, gave the following results: For Reeve, Mr. Owen Geiger with' a ,majority of 50 votes while for Council the following mentioned will form tho same in the order of receiving the highest votes: Mar. E. L. Mickle'Mr. Nirilliam Con- sitt, Mr. Walter Spencer and Mr. Robert Cameron.
