THE ELECTION.
[To the Editoe of the Daily Teleoeaph.] Sir,— Referring to the subleader in this morning's Herald, and having had the honor of a seat in the Municipal Council during the time when Mr Ashton was a . Councillor, 1 can safely assert, without fear of contradiction, that in the performance of his public duties he was both independent, conscientious, and painstaking. A reference to the minutes of the Council proceedings will show that Mr Ashton was more often opposed to Mr Swan than working with him, and that he endeavored at all times to promote the general welfare of the borough. Having no intention of again standing for a seat in the Council, I think it but right to bear testimony to the good work of an old colleague who is now being defamed to serve the interests of a clique.—l am, &c,
Ex- Councillor,
January 12,1881
