Apprehension has been aroused
among the Catholic and nationalist in.
habitants of Belfast by the proceed
/ ings at the special meeting of the cor

which waited on Mr.. Wyndham, chic
secretary for Ireland, at Dublin castle
a fortnight ago in regard to the polict
administration of the city 1t is stated
that Mr.. Wyndham made several sug
( gestions to the deputation, the mos
/ important of which was that the lore
mayor should use his best efforts anC
! by proclamation stop all party pro
cessions. These, the chief secretary
seemed to consider, were the grea

/ graced the city. He was of the op;n.
! ion that the lord mayor had ample au.
/ thority under the existing bylaws OF
the corporation, to stop professions BY
| proclamation.

and Councillor Laverty nationalist
| seconded the adoption of a corporation

Cork Correspondence: The munich
pal campaign has reached the opening
stage, and from this to the polling day.
on the 18th of January next. we are
sure to have busy time. The stu
alton here with regard to these cleo
tions is unique in so far as this is the
one city in Ireland, perhaps in the
kingdom, where five distinct parties
are to be found appealing for the suf-
frages of the electors. We have here
the nationalist, labor, conservative and
commercial parties, and the fifth party
consists of those who decline to go un-
der the wing of any party, and who
seek election on their own personal
merits. 1t will therefore be observed
that in the matter of candidates We
will not be at all short, and the citi-
zens will have charming variety from
which they can select their representa-
tives. The labor party have already
put their nominees in the field, and ap-
pear confident as to the result. The
nationalists are not letting the grass
grow under their feet and they have
chosen their candidates for two of the
seven wards Of the city. viz, North
west and Northeast wards. 1t need
scarcely be said that they propose TO
contest every ward, and they are hope
full of winning a substantial number of
the seats. There will be in all forty
nine vacancies. and of these the nation
alists are certain to capture a good
majority if they only succeed in out
ting forward men whose nationality
and influence are recognized and es-
teemed. The other parties mentioned
above are at present fishing for candi-
dates.
By the death of Mr.. n. w. Keller,
Kanturk, the North Cork di-
vision has lost one of it's best nation
alists OF the deceased gentleman it
can be truly said that he was an I'M
swerving and consistent nationalist.
During the hot days of coercion, md
this district got plenty of it, Mr.. Kel-
Ter played no unimportant part on the
side of the people, and many occasions
could be recalled when he defended the
sturdy campaigners Of North Cork With
skill and ability.
