SAY. 11Iunicipal matterspassed offin Clihton, on Monday:, very quietly indeed, although the nominations resulted very differently to what most, persons had anticipated. For Mayor,lilr. D. A. Forrester was elect- ed by acclamation. For Roeve, Mesars. 2'hampson, Fisher-, Corbett and Menzies were Dominated, hat the first two withdrew, and for deputy,•illessrs. W.C. • Searle and T, Cooper. The councillors in the dif- ferent wards are as follows :- St, Andrews --Messrs. James Smith and W. ldarlancl, by:acclamation.;,T, Twitchell wRs nominated in this award, but his name was withdrawn. St, James'. --.Messrs. T. Jackson, 'W. Jackson, II, Walker and 3. Joslin, St. John's. -Messrs. 'W. Cooper, 11. Moore and J. Dlorse. St. George's- lessrs, W. Coats, Q. S. Doan, J. 0. Stevenson anti J. McCartney. The usual public ineeting'wash held in the evening, in the town hall. The clerk first calledupoii the Mayor, Mr. D. A. Forrester, who said that he would .en- deavor, as he had before, to discharge the duties of his office to the best of his ability, the duties had to be discharged for the honor there was connected with them; the duties of magistrate required a great; deal .of tine,.and there; certainly was. not much pleasure in connection with them ; people had no idea of the many trivial disputes aiicl family troubles that were brought to him for settlement, a majority of which, ho was, glad to say, he induced them to settle without taking the. Shape of a magistrate's ease. Referring to the financial position, of the town, he showed that although its assessment had been lower last year, owing to the property destroyed by fire, the rate oftapa ion h ad not been any higher than the previous- year. revious sad. The for the wayindeserved it s nuances' had,been managed ; the debt was decrees- ing every year ; the Sinking Fund provid- ed, for, and as the assessment would be higher next year owing to the new build- ings erected, .believed the rate inight pos- sibly be brought down to 15 or 16- altogether, 0altogether, the financial standing of the town was exceedingly favorable. While he thanked thein for re-electing hire, he hoped that some one else would be called upon to fill the position next year. Mr. Corbett stood before them in a pe- culiar position, as he had for his oppo- nent one whorl: he understood did not want the position ; he held. Mr. Menzies in the highest esteem, and had consented him before the day of nomination and. learned; that he did not desire to be a can- didate, Felt that he was not well quali- fied for the position,in comparison with others who' had held it, but would do his utmost to advance the interests of both town and county, if elected. Had been chairman of the Street Committee for three years, and if the people were satis- fied •with what be had done in that con- nection he would . try and .serve then. as satisfactorily. in the future. As Clinton was rapidly advancing, it was the duty of the council to make it of as mach im- portance as possible. The street expencli ture.of the past year had been mainly for roads, etc. .As chairman of the .Finance Committee, he read air abstract from the Treasurer's books, of the expenditure of the past year, as follows, .omitting ,tile. fractions t --Market contract, $2,305.; in- terest on debentures, $1,(150; ebarity, $115; election expenses, $83; fire and water. ac- count, $589; streets and sidewalks, $1,733; printing, etc„ $165 ; salaries, $879; post- age and stationery, $21; market account, (furnace; stage painting, etc.,) $794; cemme- tery, $149; ,High School, $400; Division regiatsar, $8; incidental, $007, making a total of nearly $9,000.. He bad worked. while in the council to keep the taxes down, and could say that the next year they would be lro higher than this, ; After thanking those who had nominated him, and soliciting the support of his hearers, he took his seat. Mr. Menzies and Mr., Couper being away from home,of course made no speech, but on bhalf of the latter, Mr. W. Jackson stated that Mr, Cooper would stand for the position for which he was Nominated: h7essrs. l'lioml son and Fisher, not being candidates, simpply• thanked those ivho had nominated diens, .Mr. Searle said it seemed as if the old war Horse had got to be dragged out again. Whenever he went into the council he had to have a contest for it ; never had the good fortune to be elected by. acclama- tion ; sometimes those who did, nothing, got in the easiest, while others who work- ed the hardest, had to stand a battle. Council hatters were carried an with too much indifference, humbug and nonsense, people outside dial not take sufficient in- terest or trouble in selecting candidates, to find out if they were` qualified, and willing to,'stand betcre nominating thorn, Called attention to the fact that the Reeve should .assist -the Mayor in the discharge of the magisterial duties, and bear a share of the responsibility connected therewith; all responsibility should not rest with the 'Mayor; One reason why so many people disliked public (Aicea was because of the omicrons deities, •miss the pantie generally did not support thein in looking after the interests at the town. He had no desire to be a candidate, and had been brought out against his wishes. Did not know Mr, 'Cooper's position, but a few days be- fore nomination, in joking with that per- son, Mr. Cooper said, "If you will stand for a certain office, I will give youmy support and influence." Thought that if anyn s dalae one decorto be ted byawls.. de ination it was. him,as he had spene. good deal of time and worked hard. for `the town. People had sneered at frim be-, cause he did work, which they thought beneath his dignity, but all work was honorable. During the week he would take seine method.of letting 'the people know whether he was a candidate, or not:: Mr. Joslin had been asked the morning of nomination to stand, and he consented to do so. ; if elected would, be happy to re- present the people, and do leis utmost to advance the interests of the town, •IIx. ''sV. Jackson was astonished to find his name on the nomination paper for St. James" ward; he had no desire to stand ; while he had the interests of town atheart fully as much as any in the council,. too were others nominated who were well qualified for the position of Coun- oilier. 111x. T. Jackson felt that under the cit- cumstances he should giveplace to his son; there were two other good men in the field, and he Wished the ratepayers to con- sider him out of the list; some of the ratepayers in his ward seemed to think enough money had not been spent there this year, butthey,had got a fair proportion of what had been spent in the town, Mr. W, Cooper was not asking their suffrages this time ; he felt iu duty bound to himself and his business to withdraw, and hoped the electors would cast their ballots for the others in the: warts. Mr. Morse bad endeavored to do his best in the interests of the 'town would not canvass for support, but as he had been nominated mould. stand and hoped to be elected; as he did not like a defeat,: Mr, Stevenson believed that instead of the candidates thanking the electors, the latter should thank the candidatesfor standing and .'tillingthe offices. Had never been a cent) in his pocket the being in the Council. Was pleased that Coun- cil oun cil. matters had worked asleasantl and p y • quietly as they had.. If peol3fe-continued to work as unitedly for the interests of the town as theyhad d this ar, they e would all be benfitted financially and otherwise. Believed something should be done towards having a few street lamps, as they were absolutely necessary. Thought all should unite in irnprovinm _g the orals of the place, and Iesseii the profanity among youths of town. Was in favor of. using stone on tiip•roads in place of gravel, and building stone instead of wooden cul- texts,: Considerable money had been sent in improving the cemetery, and thought we should spend more. It. elect- ed• would do his duty without fear or favor. • This brgnght the meeting to a close. Viers is no doubt that our Canadian climate Is conducive to Lune affection Bail or this reason lir.
