prove by our premium cards at our Office

standing our competitors labored under

Every lady who visited the fair was car
ried away with the fine display and our

The vote polled, 2,224, is considered very
fair for the occasion. With that many votes,
It would have required 1885 tor ratification
10 have approved the loan. II will be seen
that not q single ward ratified. Three wards,
the Second, Third and Fifth, gave major
ity for ratification, but not the requisite
ihree-Giths. Iftke vote had been reversed,
the loan would have been ratified.
II was a matter OF comparative ease to
ascertain the causes which led to the de-
feat. They were heard at every polling
district freely expressed. Yet it was q
noticeable fact that most Of the affirmative
vote was cast BY the property holders of the
city, those having least interest at stake
voting for rejection. The reasons given
among the rejectioniSts are as follows:
1t is claimed that as the charter Of the
city expressly provides that no debt shall be
created without the ratification Of the peo-
pie the present outstanding indebted
ness was created without warrant Of law.
This was harped upon by many. Others
said the situation might as well be boldly
taken By the horns at once. In 1881 the
same thing occurred and if this loan was
negotiated it would again occur in 1857 Or
1855. And in casting their votes for re-
lection they were administering to a prot.
ligate Council merited rebuke. Still 9th
ers voted against the ordinance for reasons
expressed By certain Councilman, VIZ: That
,he rate of interest was so low there would
be no market for the bonds, And there
were others who opposed it and declared
they would vote for no loan until Council
had given satisfactory evidence of an inteu-
ton to reform in the matter of expenses.
Those who voted for it, did so because
thew thought it was to lift debt that was
bearing per cent interest and fund it with
one bearing y per cent; aud they also re
garded it the on way out OF the difficulty,
Those who were loudest in protesting
against the ordinance, could offer no more
reasonable solution, but referred it back to
the council they wanted to rebuke, The ex-
pesses Of the election, Including the pay OF
election officers, advertising and stationery
will amount to about S400.
