THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The First of Novembee in Dorchester will be the
some of • municipal outlast, and one which It looked
forward to with an unusual amount of interest. There
are four retiring members, via, Mr. F. Lock, Mr. FL
A. Mutable, Mr. G. Dsvis, and Mr. R. Hunt. Mr.
Hortable, it will be remembered, was only returned
a abort time since, defecting Mr. George by but • few
vAle. He now seeks re-elesetion, as do the other
three older members. Mr. Hu:table has, though
smparatively • stranger, shown • greet interest in
the welfare of the t iwn, awl an intelligent grasp of
municipal MI sire, so that we have little doubt as to his
return. Mr. George Dario, who has special qualifica-
tions for the office of councillor, and esp. eially at this
critical juncture in the matter of the drainage
of the town, will. Welded this, lay claim
to support on the ground that he is one of the largest
ratepayers in the town, and an extensive employer
labour. Referring in hie address to a proposed amal-
gamation of the b srouth and c sunty police, he
promises it &strenuous opposition. We believe on this
ground, as well se Sloes mentioned, he will receive the
support of Dimly of the burgesses. Mr. F. Lock la •
well.tried member, and • highly respected townsman.
It will be germ by his address he intends to
notation* his opposition be the "reckless expen-
diture " which costly experiment. as regards •
new system of drainage will entail. Mr. It.
Haut prornimeel that his best eft. t i will csntinue
to be dee tsd in furthering the intsrests ~f the t
end the general well-being of the inhabitsnts. Among
the inhabitants of Fordiorton, whom he princip slly
represes.ts, we believe recent services will not be
forgotten.
The new aspirant to municipal honours Is Ur. F. V.
&Door, • member of so old Dorchester family, and one
closely connected with the interests and trade of the
Borough. Mr. Ems* le not the firet of the name who
has sat at the Council table, his grandfather having
filled the chair on two or three occasions, and
held other respinelide °Mose in the Borough. Hr.
Ensor possesses an energy and • business ()spicily
which eminently fit him for the dace to which he
aspires. He assures the bargee's' he will, if 'sleeted,
sustain their confi knee by voting unbiassed and Inds-
pendently in all matters conducive to the prosperity
and welfare of the Borough.
