Sur Tows ItepeesestatIves fir Nal -The Candidates Mete over the Cessity. Monday last, being a public holiday, was a lively one in town. The friends of the different candidates were out bright and early to have voters in read - mess when the polls opened, and during the day the excitement was kept up. In the contest for the Deputy-Reeveship, the state of the poll at the close fully de- monstrated that a persistent personal canvass was of far more importance in obtaining votes than the best of reputa- tions morally, publicity and finanniably. Mr Williams, le accordance with his pro- mise, did not solicit a vote, while Mr• Campbell travelled round the town in- defatigably. worked personally in' the matter, and was returned by a good ma- jority, proving that "there is nothing like leather," and that the battle is, once in a while, to the fleet -footed. In the wards a stubborn fight was made by the aspirants for poettion in the Town Council Board, and during the day a number uf roorbacks were in cir- culation, many of which exercised an in-. tluence on the fate of some of the con- testants. In St. Andrew's ward the suc- cessful men were Lee, Bingham and Swanson, all of whom have had munici- pal experience; in St. David's, D:tncey, Humber and Edward, the old represen- tatives, were re-elected, by large major- ities; and in St. George's the close of the poll found Butler, Nicholson and Jordan the successful men. The former being a new candicate who haacome to the front. The following , THE REAI'LT Of THE :'OLT. For first Deputy -Reeve. Sub -div. Campbell.
