THE CONING "SHOOND."

An unanticipated interest has been thrown into the
forthcoming municipal election by the refund ot our
Mayor )Hr. Mate) to abide by the decsio f a meet-
ing, which could not be more aptly described than in

the words of a correspondent. who're letter appears in
another column as " cunningly packed."
That it was'l cunningly packed" no one speaking
truthfully can venture, to deny. That the proceed
top from the beginning to the end were • mere farce
must have been obvious to any one with • grain of
common rum. The offer of a certain alderman to
resirn his seat was simply humbug. The meeting
was half composed of the clerks and the treaters be
employs.
going Sri be accepted, and it was simplr another
specimen of the clap-trap for which he is distinguished.
Mr. Slate's disinclination to stand by such a paltry
vote, will meet with the approval of all who have
followed his course of conduct during the time he has
filled the office of Mayor. Speaking to me shortly
before he was selected for that important position, he
said, "my own private views 11P.11 the questions of the
day, ill am chosen, I shall leave at home upon my
desk in the ofBoe." Fire has faithfully carried out these
words. A mire just and impartial Mayor it would
be hard to point to during the last quarter of a cen-
tury.
Why then should he be treated to "the dirty kick-

Let us take • few of the utterances made use of at
that very Liberal meeting.
Mr. Beano° : I dnctly tell you that if I am not

will be.

Mr. Curtis : I don't think that under any circum•
stances will Mr. Hudson stand • contested election.
Mr. Western: This has beon celled •
cornermeeting. Well it might have been perhaps,
but it is • town meeting.
The Mayor : I have fought four onntented elections
and I have won two, and I don't think it quite fair a
man outside of the Ward should be set against me.
With this last remark most will arr. Mr.
Western is a most able councillor, hut vying him
credit for the best intentions, it would be unwise if
be allows himself to be made the cuckoo of his party,
to thrust the Ni ayor out of his nest in order to please
a few narrow-minded persona.

A great deal has been said about Mr. Mate's
refusal to be bound by the vote of the meetang. Thu

Mr. Habgood : I want to know if the four retiring
candidates have pledged themselves to abide by the
decision .4 this meeting?
The Chairman (Mr. Curtis): I can't say that.
Mr. Habgood : Then it. a mere farce calling us
together.
