Had he any authority to do so? In fact, he has been running things to suit a certain clique so as to keep them in office. Kindly let me know if he is right or wrong in these matters. The reply was .-The council should appoint the election officials and al- so fix the places for holding the poll. Should the council fail to fix the poll- ing places, the polls are to be opened at the place or places where the polling took pla:e at the next preced- ing election. Where there are no polling sub-divisions, the clerk per- forms the duty of deputy returning officer. The initials of the correspondent of the Municipal World and the matter relevant the eto leads one to believe that the writer of the question is none other than the Reeve of Flesherton. two ca.ses a e identical and cannot h" '•onfused from any other town. The inquiry was a perfectly legal one if it had been left at that, and no (|uest- ion would have been asked, but the co:-!'espondent makes statements that we take exception to, as the head of the municipality for the past two years, that the as.-;ertions by T. W. F., in respe-t to the clerk, are a fab- rication of untruths and that the clerk did not take things in his own hands, as stated, to keep a certain clique in office. The cle'-k consulted the council as to where the polling would take place pnd who the return- ing officer ami poll clerk would be and they were appointed by the coun- cil. With regard to the six voters in que:-;t.ion wc were of the opinion that T. W. F. would not acknowledge that he hadn't the su'ino-t of the ma- jority of the people of this villaire and that it was by aorident that he en- joys (?) the nosition he is now in. We believe that t!ie affairs of this village have been conducted in the best manner possible in past yenrs and if T. W. F. has any matter of misconduct of any of the officials we challenge him to produce it or to pub'^ licly aoolize fo • the statements he has published. THE FIGHT IN THE OLD LAND N.
