o f , excitement on Wednesday, regarding the election.

After the .declara- tion there was the customary stampede to the clubs, for the purpose o f hearing the candi-

a general rush, was made to the Conservative Club, and when the club wiadow was opened a seething mass of faces was to be seen in the


street below. Mr. IVeeks, who was enthusiastically received,


was the first successful candidate to step to tho front, and very brieflj' thankeil all who had worked so hard to lead them on to victory. Ho could not find words to thaak them sufficiently for putting him at the head of tho poll. He could assure them he would serve the lowu to the best of bis ability. Mr. Eogcr Blackburn heartily thanked tliem


for placing him so high in the poll. He could assure them that this day would be in his memory Ifo the longest day he lived. He es­ pecially wished to thank the ladies, who had so ably helped to carry them to victory. At the termination of hisf office he trusted they would find he had been a faithful sen-ant. Mr. Noroross thanked all tor placing him in such a proud position that day. Ho had be?n


in the Council before, and now after a lapie of some years they had returned him again. He had no axe to grind, but would o.sdcavour to serve them to the best; interests of the tosTO. Mr. Southwortli said they had just done what


ho wanted them to do in leaving him out and sending their other three men. He told tlie Party he did not want to got in, and he simply went to tho po'l to assist in getting Ihe Parly in. At some future time when .he wanted to get

They had got a united party, and had been ably assisted by all iflio Consorvaiivea now in tho Council, as well as by tho menibcra of the club, and he (the speaker) was proud of that party. I f they would stick together, what done ici the past they could do again. They had secured a gain of two seats,and now hail a majority in the Council of six, and thify ho considered an ample majority, and he liopcd their actions in tho Council would meet ivith the approval of all the ratepai'ers.
