" THE ISM '

---
The coming election promisee to be • very tune
affair. Three out of the four retiring member;
offer themselves for re-election ; but Mr. J. F. Hodges,
who, after many years of service devoted to the
interests of the town, rightly thinks himself entitled
to hi. otiose cv.es &pilots, a most useful and
temperate councillor, leaves the Chamber. We should
have been glad to have NMI Captain Hodges filling his
father's place; but the calls upon him time prevent him
giving that attention•to Municipal Madame which would
be required. Mr. Henry Idsyo, of Coker'. Frown.. yeo-
man, he. been nominated by Mr. Robert Hazel and Mr.
John Thomas Earn to fill" the vaaaot chair." Mr.
Mayo's practical knowledge would, ail mast admit,
ham been of great value to the Council, and he
, undoubtedly would have been an acquisition. No
one, however, will be surprised to bear that Mr. Mayo
does not desire the honour I In fact, he flatly refuses
to annipt it. From the first he onqualidededly
refused to allow himself to be pat in nomination. As
I • scientific agriculturist he prefers making two
i blade, of gram mow where one formerly grew to
I Beggarly squabbles about a few urea Why in
I the face of that the supposed distinction should
,be attempted to be thrust dawn his throat, we
' confine as are at • Ices to undentand. While Mr.
Mayo would wish to be saved from his friends, it
seems to us molt promedings are not only puerile but
calculated to bring the tem Mill lower in the social
thermometer than it has unfortunately been reduced
to during the last few years- Of course it wee open to
Mr. Mayo to have lodged a protest, but we under-
stand there was soma mistake as to time. As Mr.
Mayo positively declines to stand, noblesse oblige should
Induce his nominator and moonder to pay the fine—if
enforced—which follows • refusal of °Mos.
No addresses have been issued by either of the
nominees. Perhapi it is as well there should not
have been. Experience has taught us the pie-cru.t
value of these. If • certain place is paved, as is mid,
with good intentions, Dorchester Municipal Election
placard. would, to our thinking, soaks a very fair
wallower for the same establishment
