MUNICIPAL Ecnoxs.--Reeve Dick- son nis decided at the earnest solic itation of his friends to contest Etna reeveship for 1897. Itis hardly likely that his election will be opposed, He has engineered the municipality's affairs in a creditable manner, and moreover the several large dratnuge schemes now in # satisfactory. way ot setliement need his help to give them the finishing touches. We believe it is largely because of his earnest desire to seethe Maitland, Ellice; and Boyle drains brought to a snecessful termina tion during his administration that he has consented to allow his name to go before Ue electors for anether term.--Mr Hammond talks of drop ping out of the 2ad--Deputy Reeveship, but we have no doubt his wish will le over-raled, T, E. is an efficient, paius- taking officer.

The evening session did:not open nntil-nearly , when Mr, Blair proceeded with the cross-examination of Mr, Farrow. "My speech at Walten was made up of facts gleaned from Hansard blue books, postofiice reports, but made no special prepuration. -- I said the current opinion: was that if duties were taken off by Canada and inaintained by the United. States it would be detrimental to this country. Imay have compared the Mackenzie regime with the Conservative party. My declining to do canvassing was not due to my position as postmaster, but partially from having se much official work, was at a meeting at Gorrie, when Hon. Clarke Wallace was. there. was nominated, but declined and ofiered a very few remarks in so doing The change of Government was partly my reason for not attending the pro- test meeting."
